Watkins, a 6s-year-old former
judge, in ashen-faced anger ig-
nored McCarthy's calls of s'Mr.
Chairman" and told the Wiscon-
sin senator he was ''out Of order"
m trying to raise the Johnson-D Dem
yer Post issue. He gavelled the
session to a close.
Mccarthy walked out, protesting
to reporters:
"The most unheard-of thing I
ever heard Of"
Much of the opening session was
given over to reading into the
record a series of letters between
Mccarthy and Senators Gillette
(D-Iowa) and Hennings (D-Mo),
the successive chairmen of a SEN
ate Rules subcommittee that dug
into McCarthy's financial affairs
in 1851 and came up with report
raising numerous questions about
them. Mccarthy repeatedly turned
down invitations to testify about
his affairs at that time and his
actions are the basis of one of five
categories into which the censure
charges against him have been
compressed.

stands on Mccarthy set of the
one explosion at yesterdays cur
tain-raiser hearing on the demands
that McCarthy's conduct be con-
demned as tending to bring the
Senate into disrepute.
With a heavy hand on the gavel,
Chairman Watkins (R-Ugah)
squelched Mccarthy into silence
on the issue. He ruled that it had
no place in the hearings, that the
Senate itself set up the committee
ard the committee has no power
to disqualify the Colorado senator
or even accept his resignation.
Mccarthy came through with q
countermove.
He told newsmen he was send
ing today to Watkins and all five
other members Of the committee
memo calling for a reversal OF
the ruling. His attorney, Edward
Barret Williams, said that if for
any reason a member of the in
vestigating committee "has en-.
tered this case with a predisposi-
ton for or against either side, il
ought to be known"

were Every pleased over recent de-
velopments with references to Nc
Carthy." The article said johnson
referred specifically to a Flanders
speech against Mccarthy.
1T is pretty important, you see, .
Mccarthy said, ''to have a Judge
sitting on such an important thing
as this say that all the leaders
loathe you ana he is pretty happy
about a blast by Flanders.
81 think that what Ed has got to
do is tell US If he was correctly
quoted"
Yesterdays first-round hearing
was pretty decorous and dull until
the blow up at the end over
Johnson.
In contrast with the spectacular
McCarthy-Army hearings that ran
on through So days and frequent
volcanic upheavals, television and
radio were barred and still pic
lures were permitted only before
and after the session.

At the same time he demanded

much control over her affairs as
is possible in the light of East

WASHINGTON R-Sen. McCar-
thy (R-Wis) demanded today that
a Senate committee investigating
censure charges against him re-
verse itself and direct its vice
chairman, Sen. Edwin c. Johnson,
b defend further his impartiality.
Apparently Mccarthy faced an
other rebuff.
In advance of second round OF
committee hearings, Johnson stood
pat on a statement that ne never
has said he personally .loathed"
Mccarthy but had agreed some
of his Democratic colleagues did
not like" the Wisconsin senator.
Several Senate colleagues said
they regard Johnson as fair and
impartial.
The committee is considering a
censure resolution and 46 specific
charges, some of them overlap
ping, ieveled at Mccarthy by
Senator's Flanders (R-VD, Morse
(Ind-Ore) and Fulbright DARK.
The charges range from abuse
of a witness to slurring fellow SEN
ators and showing contempt Of q
subcommittee that investigated
some of McCarthy's financial and
other dealings in 1851.
The start of the new hearings
on Mccarthy conceded with split
verdict from a Senate subcom-
mittee that refereed McCarthy's
celebrated row with Army Off
lis.
The four subcommittee Repub-
licans cleared Mccarthy of per-
sonally using any improper in
huence to get special favors for
his former consultant, Pvt. G..
David Schine, but said he should
have used firmer hand on his
staff. The three Democrats said

behalf of Schine and merits "se-

Some of the issues in the Nc
Carthy-Army ruckus, particularly
relating to receipt and use of Sc
cret documents, are the basis of
some of the charges in the new
hearings. The subcommittee Re-
publicans skipped the secret docu-
ment question in their findings but
the D emocr said McCar-
thy 'may have violated the law"
and deserved "severe criticism"
for that too.

Sept. l, 1889,
Was Dark Day
BY TOM STONE

FRANKFURT H-Adoh Hitler
started World War II Is years ago
today.
In the chilly dawn of Sept. /,
1889, his troops invaded Poland,
plunging Europe into war.
Within six years Hitler was dead
and the defeated German armies
had surrendered Internationally to
the Allies.
Now, Is years after it all began,
West Germany Is nearly back on
its feet.
Cities that were reduced to rub
BILE by air and ground attack have
been built up again. Industry that
was brought to 4 standstill is
booming. The people have hope
again.
But some scars Of war still mark
the face of Germany. The country
is divided between East and West.
It is an unarmed nation on the
Europe.
1t still waits for sovereignty.
Only two days ago, Germany's
dreams of early independence were
shattered when France, an old
military and political foe, killed the
European Defense Community.
Some leaders fear that the set
back to German sovereignty and
rearmament could swing Germans
to isolationism or characterization.
German newspapers soberly re-
minded their readers today of the
military conflict that 'sHitler alone
wanted" Is years ago. They dis
cussed with evident uncertainty the

"We have an obligation to the
fishermen and a safe pier should
be provided. The present rock pier
is dangerous at night, and the
rocks often are moved by ice dur
ing the winter months. During
high water, sand is moved across
the pier and blocks the channel.
There are more and more fisher
men coming to this area and few
places for them to fish"
Sheet piling would be driven
around the pier, some rocks would
be moved, and the entire area
would be filled with concrete to a
twelve foot width, according to
present plans. A shelter house
would be constructed with toilet
facilities, and the city probably
would pay maintenance costs.
After the discussion, council
voted unanimously TO have Mr..

proceed with the plans and seek
approval of the u. S. Corps of En-
gineerS.

Plans for the construction of a

World War III veterans of Ottawa
County were announced this week
by Mrs. Roy Hanville, treasurer of
the former Port Clinton Service
Mothers Club, who has sought per-
mission of county commissioners
to have the memorial erected in
the courthouse lawn.
Members of the Service Mothers
Club included mothers, sisters and
wives of servicemen, and these
women provided lunches for SER
vicemen who stopped at the local
Service Club, later the USO Club,
during the war years.
Funds to be used for the mem0r-
ial are those which remained in
the treasury after the emergency
was over. American Legion posts
in Ottawa County also have been
asked to donate towards cost of its
construction.

cod OPEN HOUSE
TO FEATURE new
SKYSWEEPERS

One of the finest displays of the
Army's new weapons assembled at
Erie Ordnance Depot since 1916,
will be shown at the depot's an
nual Armed Forces Day open
house on Wednesday, May IL.
One of the Army's newest anti
aircraft guns, the Skysweeper, will
be set up and in operation. There
will be a static display of antiair-
craft defense weapons, field artil-
lery mortars and tank guns.
And for the visitors who want to
actually touch a gun, there will be
an old model weapon on display,
which may be manually operated.
The job of the Skysweeper, a
new rs millimeter antiaircraft gun
developed by Army Ordnance, is
to give a hot reception to enemy
aircraft. The largest automatic
weapon in the Army's arsenal, the
gun provides maximum effective
ness against low-flying, high speed
planes, it is explained.
The Skysweeper is a three-in-
one unit, combining radar and
computer mounted with the guns,
which can spot, trNck and intercept
enemy aircraft. Visitors at Erie's
open house will be shown the spot
ting and tracking operation.
The lotion weapon, transporta-
BILE by air, is capable of knocking
down targets at a distance of four
miles, but its radar and computer
devices enable it to find and track
aircraft as far distant as Is miles.
It can operate day or night.
Erie's open house furnishes the
public the opportunity to visit
Ohio's oldest Ordnance installa-
ton, and view its day by day oper-
alton. Visitors will see employees
in shops, on the proof front, and
in the storage areas where is
turned out a continuous flow of
supplies for use by posts, camps
and stations located in the eastern
half of the United States, the Far
East Command, and European and
Asiatic countries designated by
Congress.
The open house hours will be
from 10 a. m. to $3.50 p. m, with
one and one-half hour conducted
tours beginning from the main
gate every Is minutes. The gen
eral public is invited.
