First: II Mccarthy refused
to accept the invitation Of a
Senate committee to appear
If he chose as the Watkins
report comedies, that cannot
be contempt. Contempt is a
technical offenSe-the refusal
to comply with the valid orders
or subpoena Of a committee or
the refusal to answer legally
competent questions. There is
nothing mandatory about an
invitation, and a refusal to ac-
cept an invitation cannot be
a contempt.
MANY, many Senators have
and are constantly not 'ac-
cepting such invitations If
that is contempt, why not try
all offenders for the same
offense? Do we want to set
the precedent that any Sena-
tor must testify before a COM
mittee If invited to do SO? II
so. why not change the
Senate rules? Even if now
changed. you could not con-
denim Mccarthy ex post facto.
as that certainly is not the
rule or practice of the Senate
up to now.
Furthermore, the subject
matter about which Mccarthy
was invited to testify was in
his own income tax returns
and his use of his political
contributions. Both have been
investigated by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue and the De-
partment of Justice under
Democratic and Republican
administrations with the find-
ing that no evidence Of legal
violations were found. Nc
Carthy made full disclosure to
both agencies. Furthermore,
failure to properly report and
pay income taxes is a crime
over which the Department
of Justice has exclusive juris-
diction.
Second: Mccarthy has used
language unbecoming, in my
opinion, Of what a United
States Senator should use, but
is he alone in this impro-
priety? I can cite too many
examples Of even more unre-
strained language being used
by many Senators. If such
language be made a punish
able offense, then all offending
Senators should be similarly
cited for censure. They have
not been. Why? Because up to
now such undesired language
has not been an offense.
against any law or rule. Even
in the present debate on the
Watkins report, 'censurable'
language is being used by
several Senators seemingly
without any disapproval.
big business has been in
suited and smeared, in more
violent language than Nc
Carthy has used, by many

The bidding:
West North East, South
club Double heart i spade
2 hearts 2 spades Pass 4spades
All Pass
That is one of the strong
points Of Mr.. Dale's game. He
is always alert to the possibility
of making things easy for his
partner. particularly partners of
limited skill. In today'S deal
he forced" Mr.. New into max
ing the right play.
On the bidding. it seemed GER
tain that either the ace or
queen of spades was on his left
and therefore it was highly i'm
probable that he could win two
straight spade tricks. He de-
cided to try to get in a ruff of
q diamond. Accordingly, he
laid down the ace of diamonds
and shifted to the six of clubs.
Mr.. Champion saw the danger
Of a diamond ruff and his prob
lem, of course, was to keep Mr..
New out of the lead. His plan
was to win the ace of clubs,
lead the ace of hearts and dis
card a club, then lead the jack
of hearts and hope Mr.. New
would not cover it. In this case
he would simply discard his last
club and Mr.. Dale would be in
the lead again, with no way to
reach his partners hand.
1t may be said that this plan
had considerable chance of
succeeding. Mr.. New is much
better as a kibitzer than a player.
On the first lead of hearts it
would be clear to him that his
partner had the king of the suit
and the necessity of his cover
ing the jack might not occur
to him.
Mr.. Dale took care of that.
When the ace of hearts was led
at trick three. he played the
king. Now when the jack of
hearts was led it was obvious
to Mr.. New that he had to play
his queen.
That did it. Mr.. Champion
ruffed and led the queen of
spades. Mr.. Dale covered and
the ace won. A spade was re-
turned to the ten and Mr.. Dale
won with the jack. He then led
q club to his partners king
and ruffed the diamond return
for the setting trick.
Mr.. New didn't ever know
he'd been "helped." Careful.

do-pull the wrong card on the
