when I got home Monday,
I told Papa that the Supreme
Court had ruled on school segre-
gation," she said.
"What was it?" her father
asked.
"They ruled that segregation
is unconstitutional"

Thank God it was unani-

14th and 18th amendments to
the Constitution. And now this,
It's a good day."

To a man born a slave 101
years ago and father of the only
Negro ever to serve on the Dis
trict Recreation Board, it has
been a wonderful few days.
The Rev. H. J. Calls, the for
mer slave, lives at 70 r street
NV. with his daughter, Mrs.
Alice C. Hunter. She was named
to the Recreation Board in 1912,
when it was created, and has
been on it ever since.
During those IL years, Mrs.
Hunter has been a leader in the
fight to eliminate segregation on
the city'S Fairgrounds.
She saw her efforts rewarded
last night, when the Recreation
Board voted to eliminate all
racial bars Immediately. Obvi-
ouSly delighted, she sat back
after the vote and commented,
"it's been a wonderful day."
Then she told her father, who
was born a slave in Matthews
County, Va, those many years
ago.

it in the guise Of an auto acci-

Changing Stock Prices Have
Traders Wondering What's Up

ready been amply reflected in the
market, or whether a new upsurge
OF initiation is likely in coming
months.
One day last week stock prices
as mirrored in stock indexes-took
the sharpest drop since June OF
1850 when traders were trying to
guss whether the outbreak of
fighting in Korea meant the third
world war was starting.
One day this week some stock
price indexes had "the greatest ad-
vance OF the past two years" and
Were reported standing within the
shadow OF the highest mark since
1929"
You might remember, however.
that a stock price index isn't the
same thing as the market as a
whole. For instance, Tuesday when
the many stocks were making a
sharp advance, 298 of the 1,13s
stock issues traded declined. And
two OF them hit their lowest point
50 far this year, while 272 showed
no change at all.
On the days when an index may
be taking spectacular drop, there
will almost always be a. sizable
number of stocks recording price
gains.
The long uphill march since last
september has reflected primarily
the eagerneSs of investors to buy
the blue chip stocks of the most
prominent and prosperous corpora
tions-the type which most stock
indexes include. A sizable number
OF other shares on the stock ex-
change have shown only a small
advance or none at all. Stocks of
some industries have been motor
iously depressed.
The advance of the blue chips
and some growth company stocks
over the months has been traced
tosseveral factors.
One is the belief that business
win turn better this fall or next
year.
A second is a growing amount
OF idle money piling up in pension
nunds and insurance company
safes. Investors have been seeking
the blue chips to put this money
to work.
A third has been the very real
chance that dividend payments will
be more liberal. This chance Is
based on the fact that many COM
panies, despite a decline in sales
volume, have been able to show
as good or better net profit after

due to return to the witness stand

public session of the Senate Inves'
LEGATIONS subcommittee's inquiry
into the controversy.

spoken Army special counsel who
clashed angrily with Mccarthy yes.
terday, said he might be able to
end his cross-examination in time
for a delayed lunch hour. Senator.
ial questions appeared to be about
exhausted, barring some new flare
up.
Acting Chairman Mundt (R-SD)
said he win call the subcommittee
into a closed session tomorrow to
sound out members on the posi-
bility of agreeing on a single re-
port on the charges aired in the
public hearings, which opened eight
weeks ago today.
Secretary of the Army Stevens
and Army Counselor John G. Ad-
ans accused Mccarthy and two
aides Of bringing improper pres
sure to bear in efforts to obtain
Army favors for Pvt. G. David
Schine, former unpaid subcommit-
tee consultant.
The Mccarthy camp countered
that Stevens and Adams tried to use
Schine as hostage" in attempts
to sidetrack a Mccarthy investiga-
ton of alleged Communists in the
Army.
Hope For Agreement
While Mundt held out some hope
TOR an agreement, Mccarthy told
the subcommittee yesterday he
thought there was mo doubt in
anyone's mind about the fact that
my three Democrat friends here
viii have report-I could write
that. report for them right
now"
~ know what they are going to
say" he declared. "I think they
decided that before the hearing
started"
In what may have been a bid TO
line up Republicans behind him,
Mccarthy blamed the Democrats
primarily for Stevens action in fiji
ing the charges against him and
his aides, Chief Counsel Roy M.
The Key West citizen., 1954-06-17

Don't tell me, sir, that he United
States Army doesn't fight Com
munists.
No Monopoly
"You do not have a monopoly,
sir, in that field. You do good
work. l admire the work you do
when it succeeds. But, believe me,
sir, steadily, day by day in this
government, not only in the Army
but in the Navy and in the Air
Force and throughout the govern
ment the fight goes on. And
you should rejoice with me that
there are people after Communists
tonight in addition to you, SIR"
Mccarthy said he thinks he and
Welch "Should be on the same side
in this fight - l think essentially
we are" He said there was ''no
contest between our committee
and the Army" adding that he will
continue trying ito get the few
traitors, the few rotten apples {.
out of the BARREL" either with or
without cooperation from the
Army.
In calmer mood, as he him
self put it, Welch agreed with Nc
Carthy that congressional commit
tees have "that wonderful power
of subpoena and it is good that
you have it."
''On the other side of the pic
ture, senator, people like the Army
and the Navy and the Air Force
have the power of surveillance,
which you can't do with IA men,"
he said.
Numbers Compared
''You are 100 per cent correct"
Mccarthy replied. "We only have
few investigators, and they have
hundreds"
Mccarthy repeatedly suggested
that the Democrats, and not the
Republican officials who filed
charges against him, were respon-
sible for those charges.
81 think Secretary Stevens has
had the experience that perhaps
number of people have had," Nc
Carthy said. "He came to Wash
ington a businessman, no back
ground in politics, no experience
down here, and just couldn't cope
with the rather rough brand of
politics played in Washington.
''It was only after the secretary
of the Army got in contact with
the Democrats - who then were
not on the committee - that these
fraudulent charges were issued"
Asserting that monitored phone
calls had indicated the Democrats
on the subcommittee ''were not
exactly concerned with any har-
mony or cooperation between Bob
Stevens and this committee" Nc
Carthy told Mcclellan he had ad-
vised Stevens to ''beat him (Mc-
Carthy) to the punch"
Advice Asked
1--WE didn't give that advice
until after he called on u.s." Nc
Clellan retorted. HE got into the
mess before he came to us. We
could have kept him out if you had
sent him a little sooner"
Symington said Mccarthy had
made much of the Missouri sena-
tors advice to Stevens to consult
Clark Clifford, onetime special
counsel to former President
Truman.

Intelligence Agency.
Symington suggested that the

ty" and q sort of international
FBI." Mccarthy said the latter
description slandered the FBI, and
he added the CIA was a successor
to the World War II Office of
Strategic Services, which he char
acterized as ''the most heavily in
filtrated by Communists or any
organization we ever had in this
country"
GA Situation
"I think it is extremely unfortu-
nate that we have blanketed many
of those Communists into the CIA,"
Mccarthy declared. 81 want to say
that I think the worst situation that
we have now is not in the military
it is In the CIA."
CIA Director Allen Dulles has
denied McCarthy's contention the
agency is infiltrated by Reds.
A contention by Welch that Nc
Carthy had "signed" Schine's
application for an Army commits
sion ended up in an agreement
that Mccarthy had put his sigma
ture as q witness to a loyalty oath
which accompanied Schine's appi-
cation. The senator had said ear

cation.
Mundt said in an interview that,
"once I sound the gavel" ending
the hearings, the subcommittee's
ban on investigations under Nc
Carthy's craftsmanship will end.
From that point until official
findings are filed with the Senate,
he said, there will in fact be two

in January after an absence of six
months in a dispute over McCar-
thy's control of the staff.
'If they had not, I think We
would be investigating Communists
today instead of wasting all our
time investigating charges that
have proven completely false" he
said.
He said he fears they won't work
with him when he returns auto
matically to the craftsmanship with
the end of these hearings, McCar-
thy has stepped off the subcom-
mittee for the current inquiry.
Bitter Exchange
His assertion that the charges
against his camp had been proved
completely false" touched off the
bitter exchange between him and
Welch. But they wound up agreeing
that there is a place for the Army
and a place for congressional in
vestigating committees in efforts to
root out Communists.
Welch suggested that since the
Wisconsin senator was a witness
and not a Judge in the controversy
"it would be more graceful to
await the verdict" of the subcom-
mittee rather than to announce that
the charges against him and his
aides were entirely false"
MAY l tell you, sir" Mccarthy
said as he tapped a long wooden
pointer on the desk, "that when
you or anyone else makes charges
against my staff which are
completely unfounded that
will not be graceful when it comes
to that sort of situation.
Lets make this clear, Mr..
Welch, this is no game.
Welch said he had not suggested
they were playing a game, adding:
"Sen. Mccarthy, l work at an
address (the Pentagon) where
there are men without limbs, who
lost them fighting communism.
And where men confer every morn
ing, to my knowledge, about the
possibility of war that may be
closer to us than either YOU or I
know.
''Those men with whom l confer
are going to fight that war and
many of them are going to die if
we have it. Don't think. sir, that
under those circumstances ! think
we are playing a game
Wasted Months
Mccarthy replied:
"Just as certain as you sit here
today, the four months we have
wasted on this hearing called on
by your clients will result in the
end with many more young men
being without limbs.
''While we investigate these
fraudulent charges, Mr.. Welch,
there are Communists working in
our defense plants, there are Com
munists being left unmolested in
our government. That is the TRACE
dy of this hearing"
Welch replied that if Mccarthy
had given the Army the names of
"any subversive or Communist
threatening this country that is
reachable by the Army in any way
they would either be under
surveillance or suspended or kicked
out"
Don't pull that on me-" Nc
Carthy broke in.
Welch, his face flushing and his
voice rising, told Mccarthy:
Don't suggest to me, sir, .
that the United States Army is
going to cut its own throat /. .
