I don't think it will make any

never before seen a case dis

party was in court and refus-

where the charges actually
made a case If sustained by

Gentlemen, you are not de-
ceiving the American people,
this great Jury that you have
heard of, watching these pro-
ceedings. Here are the seri-
Gus, damnable charges being
made against Mr.. Hensel, and
you have the accuserS right

they ought to be dismissed by

Senator Symington - Mr..
Chairman, this is a very seri-

as If a deliberate effort is
being made by the majority

Frank Carr from taking the

reason for these hearings. You

Senator Mundt--T The Chair

Contempt Citations
Sought for ; Who
Baked al Senate Quiz
By the Assoeioisd Press

A committee headed by SEN
ator Mccarthy. Republican. of
Wisconsin has asked the Senate
to cite three men for contempt
of Congress in what could turn
into a test case on the power Of
congressional investigators to
make balky witnesses talk.
The Senate Government Oper-
ations Committee, parent Of the
Investigations subcommittee now
probing the McCarthy-Army
row, voted last night to seek
contempt citations against Cor
liss Lamont, wealthy New Yorker,
Abraham Unger. also Of New
York City, and Albert Shadowitz
of Pine Brook, N. j.
Silent on Red Links.
All three had refused to an
swer subcommittee queStioners
about possible Communist links
without invoking-as many other
witnesses have done-the Consti-
tution's Fifth Amendment guar
antee against being compelled to
testify against oneself.
Mr.. Lamont, in refusing to say
last September % whether he
was a Communist when he wrote
some material quoted in an Army
intelligence pamphlet, invoked
constitutional provisions guaran-
teeing freedom of speech and the
press but not the Fifth Amend
ment.
The subcommittee contends
Unger used "f1libuSter" tactics
when he was questioned about
Communism in New York last
September in connection with al
legged subversive inf1ltration at
the United Nations.
Mr.. Shadowitz, saying he was
acting on advice of Albert Elm
stein, refused on February Is to
answer any questions about pos
sible Communist ties when he
worked in the 1940's at the Fed
eral Telecommunications Labora-
tories in Nutley, N. j.
Opposes McCarthyiSm.
Referring to the need for ap-
proval by the Senate as a whole
before the contempt citations can
be prosecuted, Mr.. Lamont's at
torney, Philip Wittenberg, said
In New York last night I'VE feel
sure that the entire Senate will
realize the necessity of repelling
McCarthyism."
1--WE feel that following the
hearings in the Army imbroglio
it is apparent that the Republic
can majority will do everything
in its power to appeaSe Nc
Carthy," Mr.. sWittenberg said.
"But we feel that the entire
Senate may decide that the time
has come to call halt to Nc
Carthy domination"
None Of the three former wit
nesses could be reached directly.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The

By Elton c. Foy
Asseeiussd Press ss1ff W,issr

Ten years ago this month an
Army officer made an historic
statement.
He said: 'NutS!"
This terse reply by Brig. Gen.
Anthony c. McAuliffe to q sur
render demand BY Maxi forces
surrounding his outfit at Bas-
togne influenced the course of
an engagement. probably q bat
tie and possibly history.
It wasn't responsible for the
new assignment Of Gen. McAu-
iiffenow . three ystar lieutenant
general--to command Of all
United States Army forces in
Europe. But 1t was indicative
of how this stocky officer oper-
ates when the chips are down
and the battle is rough.
There is another side to Gen.
McAuliffe: He also. is. a soft
spoken, quiet-mannered admin
istrator able to get along with
people, to talk little and listen
much, to pick his way through
red tape.
When the Army tapped Gen.
McAuliffe the other day to sue
ceed Gen. william M. Hoge as
commanding general, Unite d
States Army, Europe. it was an
other step upward in a series
of assignments which have given
Gen. McAuliffe a wide range Of
experience in command and
administration. 1t revived talk
that he may be moving toward
the top job as Chief Of Staff.
His promotion from command
of the 7th Army in Germany,
| q post he has held since October,
1858, presumably means he will
rise to the temporary rank Of
four -star general. That's good
going for an Army officer only
Sc years old.
Gen. McAuliffe Is a native Of
the District Of Columbia. So
Government and the military
weren't strange to him when he
went to West Point and was
graduated Nov. /, 1918, as a
second lieutenant Of field artil-
lery 10 days before World War I
ended.
For the next 20 years Nc
Auliffe stuck to his trade as an
artillery man, serving with OUT
fits in the United States and in
Hawaii.

Selective Raises
BY The As,eeiaisd Pres,

proposals for military pay raises

ing skilled technicians in uni
form.
Mr.. Seaton said Congress will
be asked to approve pay hikes on
"a selective basis" for men who
particularly in the Air Force
require considerable training or
have special skills.
In an NBC TV-radio interview
on Meet the Press, Mr.. Seaton
listed proposals to improve over
seas housing and medical aid for

than pay raises.

Nuts Borked at NoziD Demand
Echoes Decade After Bostogne

In August. 1912. Gen. Nc
Auliffe transferred to something
still new and untried in the
American Army. an airborne
unit. He shifted to the l01st
Airborne Division. with head
quarters at Camp Claiborne, La,
as artillery commander.
The fast action Of airborne
operations was to McAuliffe's
liking. When the Normandy in
vasion forces struck, he was in
one Of the first waves and para
chuted with his troops behind
German lines.
Gen. McAuliffe's next big job
was In the airborne invasion Of
Holland in September. 1914.
Early In December the COM
manding general of the 10lst was
called to washington. The war
along that portion of the front
had slowed down somewhat, and
it looked as though Gen. McAu-
life had a relatively quiet Job of
sitting In for the boss.
Then the German command
decided to make its last, most
desperate drive of the war--an
attempt to split the Allied front
and head for the Channel ports,
1t was the Battle Of the Bulge
Gen. McAuliffe found himself
and his division cut of at
Bastogne.
The division fought of the en-
circling Nazis. When, on one
snowy and gloomy day, the mes
sage came from the German
commander demanding surren-
der, Gen. McAuliffe dictated tc
his aide, for transmission to the
enemy, his one-syllable reply.
"Nuts!" shook the formality oi
the German command. 1t made
headlines over the world. And
it made Gen. McAuliffe famous
Those who worked with Gen
McAuliffe In the rigorous Euro
pean campaigning say he has the
daring and courage of the late
Gen. George Patton. but without
the flamboyant features of that
famous armored commander.
The General, says one Of his
associates, doesn't waste words
he keeps his trap shut until he
has something to say"

Social Security Hit
BY Manion as Fraud
By the Assoeiatsd Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. 27.-
Clarence e. Manion, co-chairman
Of For America, says Federal
social security is "a palpable
fraud" as insurance.
Mr. Manion said in q Nation
wide radio address last night
that there is no reserve fund to
meet Government liabilities Of
a quarter Of a billion dollars
caused by increased coverage
and payments approved by the
last Congress.
"As fast as a cash balance
accumulates in the social security
fund, it is lifted out and spent
for the general expenses Of the
Government" he added.
TN place of cash, the Govern
ment puts its own IOUs-Gov-
ernment bonds--into the reserve
fund. Instead of an asset, there
fore, the trust fund turns into
an interest-bearing liability.
IF a private insurance COM
pany tried this stunt, its respon-
sible officers would end UP in
the penitentiary."
Mr.. Manion said q couple now
approaching the age of IS could
get a "bonanza" of $27, 900 for
a $252 investment. He COM
pared the retiring workers sit
uation with that Of a young
worker, criticized Federal deficit
