In an appearance at the WASH
ington Cathedral that has be-
come an annual event, the q Cap
pella Choirs Of Bethesda Chevy
Chase High School sang a pro-
gram last night that would have
been a credit to- a choir far be-
yond the high school level.
Forming the high point Of q
list that included works of
Brahms, Vittoria, Palestrina and
Praetorius. were chorlae settings
from the Christmas Oratorio of
j. s. Bach. Virtually every shade
of worship is embodied in these
simple songs-from prayer to
exultation.-The choir sang them
with skill and feeling.
1t is an obvious pleasure to
see so many young faces gath
cred on an occasion such as that
last night. but to hear sounds
that match them in freshness,
and to hear singing that is
equally clean and unaffected, Is
indeed a moving experience.
Mrs. Faye Finley Shaw. direc-
tor. has not only taught her 200
young choristers to sing In q
Observation-Disclosures, natural way,
but she has impaired an inn
peccable feeling for tasteful,
straightforward music-making.

with the case OF Senator VIII

who Is chairman Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee? II the
Watkins committee report is
logically to be followed when
it says it has the power to
punish q Senator for any act
committed whether In this
term or prior thereto. then the
Senate may have before 1t for
reconsideration the case de-
scribed recently In the Con-
gresSional Record as follows:
"Langer was elected Senator
on November 5. 1910. On JAM
uary 3, 1941, he was permitted
to take his seat without pref
udice' either to himself or the
Senate. His credentials were
later turned over to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, which considered the
case for over a year. On JAN
uary 20, 1912, the committee
reported, with the majority
recommending that inasrnuch
as the charge of moral turpi-
tude had been proven beyond
all reasonable doubt the i'm
tegrity of the United States
Senate be upheld by denying
William LANCER the right to be
a United States Senator from
the State Of North Dakota.
:. two alleged acts Of corrup-
ton apparently involving
LANCER particularly disturbed
the committee: t1) "A lawyer
for the Great Northern Rail-
way, it was charged, paid
Langer $25. 900 for stock in
some Mexican lands (already
appropriately after the rail-
ways taxes were cut 10000
q year; (2) Attorney Gregory
Brunk, after proiting hand
somely in North Dakota county
bonds, paid LANCER. the COM
mittee asserted, $56,800 for
dust bowl lands the former
had never SEEN"
The Senate ignored its COM
mittee's advice and. by q vote
Of So to 80, upheld Senator
Langer's right to his seat. One
of the moving considerations
was that what happened,
whether right or wrong. oc-

Ing Of the present Congress. 4
the charges about his income
taxes had then been brought
forth for inquiry. But they
were not. though the same
Senators who are making the
censure charges now were
present in the Senate.
IN the case OF Senator
James r. Simmons Of Rhode
Island, q resolution Of ex-
pulsion was submitted charg-
ing that he had used his Of
fetal influence for private
monetary gain. On July a,
1862, q Senate committee re-
ported that his conduct was
highly improper" But the
Senate refused to act on the
ground that "such punish
ment would be liable to that
objection to which all post
facto laws are justly subject
Congress had not passed .
law making illegal conduct
such as that of Simmons until
after that Senator's offensive
actions had occurred"
Thus, never before has the
refusal of a Senator to testify
before q congressional COM
mittee been deemed an offense
subject to censure. Likewise,
never have inquiries into per-
sonal transactions Of q MEM
ber of Congress occurring be-
fore the current term OF o
member been subject to CEN
sure. Nor has there ever been
a case where q Senator has
been censured, as in the In
stance of Senator Mccarthy,
when, in a public statement
by the Justice Department, he
has been cleared Of any law
violation. It is known also that
the Internal Revenue Service,
under the preceding Demo-
cratic and the present Re-
publican administration, has
not found anything fraudu-
lent In connection with his
income taxes or the receipts
Of funds for his fight against
communism. But there is a
persistent effort nevertheless
to smear the Wisconsin Sena-
tor by a censure motion based
primarily on his refusal to
accept any invitation to testify
before a committee whose
validity he questioned. He did
state repeatedly that he would
honor q subpoena but 1t was
never issued.
# precedents mean any
thing, the legal case against
the Wisconsin Senator stands
on flinsy ground. Chairman
Watkins, however, arbitrarily
refused to permit the Nc
Carthy lawyer to Introduce
such precedents. and the com
mittee rendered its adverse
verdict just the same.
