against Mccarthy last August by
Flanders, Morse and Sen. Full
bright DARK.
These were referred to the Wat
kins committee, especially set up
by the Senate to handle the case,
and it recommended after public
hearings that Mccarthy be con-
demned for his conduct toward the
elections committee and Gen.
Zwicker.
Zwicker, former commanding Of.
ficer at Camp Kilmer, Nj, was
questioned by Mccarthy about the
promotion and honorable discharge
of former Army Maj. Irving Per
ess.
Peress, q New York City dentist,
refused to answer questions about
any Communist connections when
he testified before McCarthy's
committee, just as he had when
filling out an Army loyalty form.
Mccarthy called him "A Fifth
Amendment Communist.
Mccarthy, in questioning Zwick-
er about the case at an investiga-
tons subcommittee hearing last
February, told the much-decorated
general he was not fit to wear the
uniform.
The special committee said
Zwicker could not give the infor-
nation Mccarthy wanted, because
of orders from his Army superiors,
and called McCarthy's treatment
Of the officer "inexcusable" and
"reprehensible.
But when this count was brought
up in the Senate yesterday, sew
eral influential senator's made
clear they felt the Army had acted
improperly toward the Senate IN
vestigators in its handling of the
Peress case and they would not
support the committees recon-
mendation to rebuke Mccarthy.
In the face of this opposition,
Watkins agreed to q move to sub
stitute the count proposed by Ben.
nett for the Zwicker count. He ap.
parently felt that if the Zwicker
count was adopted it might en-
danger final passage Of the whole
resolution.

he never delivered but which he
put in the Congressional Record
after giving advance copies to the
press. Other statements of his re-
ferred To In the Bennett count were
made on Tv programs or in news
paper interviews.
Sen. Walker (R-Idaho), one Of
McCarthy's strongest supporters,
protested that the count offered by
Bennett was being acted on with
out being referred to committee
for study.
But when Sen. Daniel (D-Tex)
asked If there were any denial of
the facts 1t set out, Welker said
he could not answer.
While Mccarthy himself stayed
away from the Senate floor until
just before the final roll call his
supporters held forth for much Of
the time during the final day Of
the bitter debate.
Sen. Jenner (R-Ind) early in the
day delivered an attack on Elan

ing. among other things, about a
possible association between Elan

it, refused Flanders an opportu-
! nifty to reply at the time.

/ But he said he has mo personal
feeling against anyone who voted
on this matter" He himself voted
present" on the final roll call.
Mccarthy referred to the Sen
ate's action as "censure" more
than once in talking to neWsmen,
despite some controversy in the
Senate itself as to whether he had
been censured.
Bridges raised the question after
the vote, to the accompaniment
of broad smiles from the McCar-
thy hackers. He asked Vice Presi-
dent Nixon If the word censure
appeared in the resolution that had
been adopted.
Nixon told him it did not and
said that without objection the
title of the resolution would, be
accordingly amended to delete the
word censure. The final title thus
read: "A resolution relating to the
conduct of the senator from Wis
consin, Mr.. Mccarthy"
However, Nixon declined to pass
on whether the resolution cen
sured Mccarthy. He said senator's
could place their own interpreta-
ton on 1t.
Watkins said he considered
condemn" an even stronger word.
So did Sen. Stennis (D-Miss), an
other member Of the special com
mittee.
But Sen. Case R-SD), a third
member of the committee, said
he thought "censure" was stronger
than condemn"
The use of the word condemn
was in line with the last previous
case before the Senate when in
1929, resolution was adopted 10
condemn the conduct of former
Republican Sen. Hiram Bingham
Of Connecticut for bringing a lob.
byist into a closed hearing or
tariff legislation.
The only prior case, occurring
in 1902. involved a fracas on the
Senate floor between two South
Carolina senator's. In that instance
the Senate adopted a resolution
using the word censure against
both senators.
/ Both of these earlier cases, pro.
viding the only Senate precedents,
as censure cases.
Oddly enough, a careful reading
of the resolution does contain the
word cenSure in that it refers IL
"the select committee to study
censure charges"-the special bi.
partisan group headed by Watkins.
The vote to condemn Mccarthy
conduct did not strip him of any
of his rights and privileges as q
senator. Nor did it deprive him oil

mittee, although he stands to lose
these when the Democrats organ
ize the Senate in January.
The vote was an official Senate
rebuke for his conduct. What po-
itical or other consequences might
result indirectly remains to be
seen.

Of his Senate colleagues.
The judgment Of the Senate was
handed down late yesterday and
after the vote was in Mccarthy

The vote adopting a resolution
condemning McCarthy,s conduct
on two counts capped an extraor-

sngly tense and bitter.
On the final vote Republican SEN
ators divided evenly, 22-22. A solid

Sen. Morse Of Oregon, the Senate's
lone Independent.
Thus Mccarthy became the first
senator since 1929 to suffer an Of
fetal rebuke from his colleagues
for his actions, and the fourth in
Senate history.
Despite the sharp Republican
split on the issue, some COP sem
ators said they did not believe 1t
would leave lasting scars within
the party.
Sen. Bennett (R-Utah), author Of
one of the counts adopted by the
Senate, said in an interview that

recommended censure against Nc
Carthy, said he believes the Re-
publicans win ''pull together" once
the next session starts, adding 1t

Mccarthy, asked If there were
any basis to reports he might
break away FROM the Republican
party to form q new party, replied
there's nothing to. it,"
II am q Republican and intend
to remain a Republican" he said.
'And ! will do my work within

against it were Sens. Knowland
