Is THEIR mental health due to the
local philosophy Of life? These
Bolivians work hard. want little
and are able to get nearly every
thing they want. They are not
driven by ambition or curiosity
but are content to stay TRANQUILITY
in their hidden mountain valley.
This, some observers have con-
cluded, explains their freedom from
mental illness.
i, however, am not at all satis-
fed that this is the whole explana-
ton. After all, other isolated areas
with a self-sufficient philosophy
have their quota Of paranoids and
schizophrenics! And what happens
when these Bolivian natives do 60

they become. after a few years. as

Steps are under way for a
march on Washington" in sup
port of Senator Mccarthy in his
battle against Senate censure.
This was disclosed yesterday
by Rabbi Benjamin Schultz of
New York after his arrival in
Baltimore, where he will pre-
side at testimonial dinner
tonight for Roy M. Cohn. for
mer counsel of Senator Nc
Carthy's investigating subcom-
mittee.
Rabbi Schultz, in a telephone
interview with The Star, en-
phasized that his announce
ment of the march" had no
connection with the Cohn din
ner, which has encountered
problems of sponsorship involv-
ing the American Legion and
other organizations.
The rabbi said the march
would be sponsored by an or
ganization so newly formed that
it has been named only "tenta-
lively" as the Joint Council
Against Communism in Ameri-
Ca"
March on Nov. IL.
Rabbi Schultz said the
march" would take place over
November 11-Armistice Day
and three days after the Sem
ate convenes to consider CEN
sure against the Wisconsin Re-
publican. He predicted that
several thousand" representa-
tives of States from coast to
coast" would come here for the
demonstration.
During the day." the rabbi
said, delegations from the var
ious States will visit their indi-
vidual Senators to advocate that
Senator Mccarthy be not CEN
sured but commended for his
fight against communism"
The days activities will be
climaxed with a mass meeting
for which, Rabbi Schultz said,
the Hotel Statler ballroom has
been reserved.
Will Fight "Smears."
The Mccarthy censure battle,
the rabbi explained, is only the
organizations immediate emer-
gency." He said its formal pur-
pose will be primarily "to fight
the inevitable smears Of every
Communist"
I'VE feel that if they get Nc
Carthy, Jenner will be next.

its support, and then reversed it.
self again and, according to the
rabbi is now sponsoring the
dinner"
This was disputed by a Balti-
more Legion official, who said
the Legion has approved the
dinner but is not one of the
sponsors.
This official, who asked that
his name not be used, said the
Legion withdrew from the affair
when Senator Mccarthy came
into it." He added that "a lot
of things have come up" and the
final word as to the Legion's own
view about the dinner must
await the return Of State Com
mander Benjamin Buckner from
a Legion conference in Indian
apoliS.

Mccarthy Is Sued
For 81 Million by
Nevada Publisher
Star STAFF Photo.
BY the Associafed Press

LAS VEGAS, New, Oct. S.
Publisher H. M. Greenspun has
filed a 81 million damage suit
against Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin. who, he
says, falsely accused him OF
being an ex-Communist.
Greanspun, who publishes the
daily Las Vegas Sun and long has
been a bitter critic of Senator
Mccarthy, filed the suit in State
District Court on October /, it
was disclosed yesterday.
He alleges that on October 13,
1852, at a political rally, Senator
Mccarthy said of Greenspun,
He admits he is an ex-Commu-
MIST"
The day after the incident the
publisher swore out an affidavit
saying, "It's the dirtiest lie Nc
Carthy ever told" He said he
was not and never had been a
Communist and had not con-
sorted with Communists or fell
low travellers.
Early this year Greenspun
was indicted by a Federal grand
jury on a charge of mailing
copies of his newspaper contain
ing a column, which tended to
''incite murder or assassination"
of Senator Mccarthy. A hearing
| in that case is scheduled later
this month.
Greenspun claimed in his dam
age suit that the Mccarthy state
ment was broadcast on the Ne
vada radio network and that the
Senator made 1t with intent
and design to injure, disgrace
and defame him and to expose
him and his family to hatred,
contempt, ridicule and obloquy."
Alleging this had injured his
reputation wherever the state
ment was heard and caused him
mental suffering, the publisher
asked 100000 general damages
and $500,000 exemplary and
punitive damages.

Velde they will be after Vice
President Nixon, whom they

President Eisenhower. While they
are getting some comfort from

Rabbi Schultz did not explain
whom he meant by "they." Sem
ator Jenner is chairman of the
Senate Internal Security sub
committee. Representative Velde
heads the House Committee on
Un-American Activities.
The rabbi said arrangements
for the Washington march and
meeting were completed only aft
er his arrival in Baltimore. In
response to his questions, Rabbi
Schultz said his full-time posi-
tion is director Of the American
Jewish Committee against Com
munism Of which, he added, AL

in vain that there are several
outstanding career officials in

would make an excellent per-

background will get the job.
Personnel director positions in

STORY-A story making the
rounds in Government these
days concerns the bureaucrat
who, at 1890 one morning. was
sitting in the kitchen Of his
home, leisurely slipping his coffee
and reading a newspaper.
His surprised wife said, Henry,
you're terribly late for work"
"Oh. my gosh," said the bureau
crat. IT thought I was at work. "

PRAISE-Representative Cor
bett, Republican, of Pennsylva-
mia, has praised Secretary of De-
fense Wilson and Deputy Assist
ant Defense Secretary James M.
Mitchell for their part in elimi-
mating 1880 unnecessary posi-
tions in the Defense Department.
Many of the positions had been
filled by military personnel. The
savings to the Government total
$95 million year.
Mr.. Corbett, who is chairman
of a House Civil Service subcom-
mlttee investigating Defense De-
partment personnel practices,
lauded the officials for their "en-
thusiastic and determined"
drive to eliminate unnecessary
positions in the defense agencies
PAY VETO - There Is little
chance that the Federal courts
will rule that President Eisen-
hower's pocket veto" of the
Federal pay raise bill was illegal.
The Federal Employees Vet
erans Association has announced
it will file suit in Federal Court
here within the next week or SO
challenging the legality of the
veto. The group contends the
Presidents failure to sign the bill
did not kill it because Congress
has not officially adjourned
since the Senate is only recessed
and will meet on November 8 on
the motion to censure Senator
Mccarthy.
However. the Justice Depart
ment and other top Government
legal officials say that the pocket
veto is legal because Congress
for all intents and purposes had
adjourned as far as it's legis-
lative program was concerned.
