Senator Mansfield. Democrat,
Of Montana. said today the Sem

issue.
II certainly hope we will get
a VOTE the Montana Senator
said. This isn't q question Of
Senator Mccarthy but Of the
Senate ITSELF"
There were these other de-
velopments in connection with
the censure issue:
/. Senator Young, Republican,
Of North Dakota, wrote his COM
stituents that he would vote
against censure. He deplored
remarks made. by Senator Nc
Carthy particularly about fell
low Senator'S. But. Senator
Young added, all public officials
are open to attack. and that in
the case Of Senator McCarthy's
alleged abuse of Brig. Gen.
Ralph w. Zwicker there was
provocation.
2. Senator Case, Republican,
Of South Dakota, hotly denied
the accusation of Columnist
Drew Pearson that he switched
his position on one Of the two
cenSures counts because of pres
sure brought on him by Joe
Foss. war hero and Governor
elect Of South Dakota.
Calls Story 'Unfounded.'
Senator Case, a member Of
the special committee that rec
commended censure Of Senator
Mccarthy. announced last week
he would not support the
Zwicker censure count. He said
Mr.. Pearson "is as wrong as one
man can get, in that many
words" He added the columpist
should "get the facts before he
circulates malicious and un-
founded rumors. :"
3. An anonymous Federal
official" sent a statement to
newspapers and wire services
describing alleged efforts Of high
Republicans to obtain Senate
support for Senator Mccarthy
in the censure drive.
"A concerted effort has been
planned by many senior officials
Of the administration, and Of
ficials and members of the Re-
publican National Committee"
the unsigned statement read, ito
secure the support of Republi-
can and Democratic Senators in
behalf of Senator Mccarthy in
his defense against possible CEN
sure by the Senate.
Party Danger Seen.
"The intention is to defeat
the censure move, or. failing
that, prevent final Senate vote.
Among other things, it is felt
that the Republican Party is in
grave danger of being damaged
needlessly,' primarily by outside
and unfriendly interests, if the
censure resolution is adopted"
The self-styled official said he
had participated in some Of the
discussions, and he named 9TH
ers as Vice President Nixon, At
torney General Brownell, Post
master General Summerfield,
Chairman Lewis Strauss of the
Atomic Energy Commission, In
ternal Revenue Commissioner T.
Coleman Andrews and Republi-
can National Committee Chair
man Leonard Hall.
The writer said he was issuing
the statement because II be-
lieve the American people should
be appriSed of all developments
relating to the conduct of their
elective and appointive officials"
The Navy hospital at Be-
thesda, where Senator Mccarthy
is a patient. said yesterday he
was continuing to improve.
The hospital, apparently re-
spending to reports that the
Senator had undergone surgery,
said that ION Monday a small
amount of fluid was removed
from the bursa on the right ell
bow by syringe and needle as
piration, This is not considered
technically to be an operation.
