HE can't talk about my wife

Friends grabbed Mr.. Durr as
he lunged at Paul Crouch of
Honolulu, a former Communist
organizer.
Mr.. Crouch had testified that

Senator Mccarthy. informed
in Oklahoma City of Senator

present thought" is that in any
case he will want to cross
examine every witness who APP
pears before the subcommittee.
II they tell under oath the
same story they have so far, he
added. the case will go to a grand
jury.
Senator Mccarthy told a news
conference, however, that he had
agreed with Senator Mundt,
Republican, of South Dakota,
who will temporarily replace him
as chairman, that he should not
vote on anything that even re-
motely affects me-"
In answer to a question, he
said this included matters af-
fecting the staff of the subcom-
mittee.
While Senator McCarthy's
comments indicated he would
remain on the subcommittee
during the investigation. he said
it was mo final decision.
He added he would be glad to
discuss it with the subcommit-
tee on his return to Washington.
There is no reason why any
one should fear my cross-exam-
nation unless they are guilty Of
perjury" Senator Mccarthy said.
He also said that he had Of
fered to submit himself to cross
examination and added he felt
both Secretary Of the Army
Stevens and John G. Adams,
the Army counsel. ought to
have the right to cross-examine
because this is something that
affects them very seriously"
Senator Symington's proposal
appeared to take Senator Mundt
by surprise.

II have not talked to Joe about
this" Senator Mundt said, mean

that Senator Mundt take over

District Revenue
Bill Sponsors Are
Hopeful of Possuqe

The Districts public works
revenue bill comes up for action
tomorrow on the House floor
with sponsors hopeful of passage.
Most indications last night
pointed to House approval of the
tax measure to raise funds for
the city's $305-million. l0-year
program for construction Of
needed public improvements.
But opponents will have two
different opportunities to make
a fight against the measure.
The bill. recently approved
by 13-to-2 vote of the House
District Committee, calls for an
increase of SO million in the
Federal payment to the city.
raising the total to $40 million.
1t increases taxes on District
citizens and business by about
SIS million a year, and raises
charges for use of water and
sewers.
Closed Rule Up First.
The issue will be joined first
when the closed rule approved
Friday by the House Rules Com
mittee is called up for House
consideration. This rule, bar
ring any new amendments to
the revenue measure on the
floor. would limit general debate
on the bill to two hours.
The rule will be called up by
some member of the Rules
Committee, and will be subject
to debate for one hour. 1t will
have to be approved or defeated
before general debate can start
on the public works measure it
self.
One strong advocate of both
the rule and the measure is

he participated during the long
hearings on the public works bill
by the Joint fiscal subcommit-
tees of both the House and
Senate District Committees.
No Floor Amendments.
Should the rule be adopted
as expected. the House then
would go into what is called
Committee of the Whole" for
consideration of the revenue bill.
Two hours could be devoted to
debate over the bill. while a
chairman presides over the
committee.
During this period the District
committee will offer its own
three amendments to the tax
measure. But no other new
amendments from the floor would
be permitted.
Action of the Committee Of
the Whole will be reported to
the House for final action on
the bill. Only one motion for
recOmmittal of the measure tn

in order. Unless the bill is sent

Noting certain similaritieS be-
tween that crime and the fatal
shooting of a former Marine,
William j. LindStedt, police also
offered a $500 reward for help
in the shooting.
Both killings apparently were
the result Of unprovoked attacks

which ignited a gas torch in
front of the little white school,
house where the party is be-
lieved to have been formed in

The torch is similar in design
to one that is believed to have
been lit in 1854 by Alvan Earl
Bovay when he called a meeting
of So men at the same school,
house.
TOrchlight Parade Held.
At this meeting the G. o. P.
was reported to have been con-
ceived. The lighting of the torch
was the climax of a ceremony
that brought leading Republicans
and hundreds of other visitors to
this central Wisconsin commu-
nifty of 5000. 1t was preceded by
a dinner attended by 400. A
torchlight parade followed
through the city by students
from Ripon College and other
residents dressed in costumes of
a century ago.
The Presidents brief greeting
and message to his fellow Repub-
licans was read by Representa-
tive Van Pelt, Republican of Wis
conSin, at the dinner at which
Leonard Hall, National G. o. p.
chairman, was the principal
speaker.

Six hundred torches were car

Gov. Walter Kohler of Wis

said the Republican Party was
born because of dissatisfaction
with the Wings and the Demo-

Ripon, although Jackson, Mich,

GiIIivan Area

Residents of Gillivan had a
shock at about noon Thursday
when a terrific explosion shook
homes of residents there. House
holders rushed outside to see a
jet plane travelling at high speed
going west. 1t is believed that
the jet may have come out of a
high speed dive over the Gill;
ar area or that it may have
CT ashed the sound barrier. Win
dows were broken in several
places.
One woman resident said, the
earth shook, the house shook,
and the air trembled. 1t scared
me half to death. I ran out and
saw the plane going west. There
was smoke in the air. We were
all scared"
Apparently, however, no dam
age other than to windows was
done. Many similar reports have
come in from other areas in re-
cent months, but nc explanation
has been made of the explosions.
