The committee also decided to

document had been leaked"
for the purpose Of political
campaigning.
Senator Knowland now calls
the facts to the attention OF
the American people. He says
that secret, classified docu-
ment was made public on Oc-
tober 81. 1852. by Senator
Morse of Oregon, a Republic
can who had decided to cam
paign for Gov. Stevenson, the,
Democratic nominee, and who
since. has called himself an

The Oregon Senator-who
has been critical of the meth
DDS of Senator Mccarthy
says that the document was
released to him by President
Truman. and that the latter, as
Commander in Chief, had a
right to declassify the docu-
ment. Senator Knowland, how
ever, says that after the Morse
speech was made. he asked
the Defense Department and
was told that the document was
still classified as top secret"
The majority leader says If
Mr.. Truman was not just using
official military documents for
political purposes, he should
have released the paper in
question at the White House
to all Americans at the same
time and explained the rea-
son for his action.
The point at issue relates to
the withdrawal Of American
troops from Korea in 1949-
before the recent Korean war.
1t Is known that the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, of which body
Gen. Eisenhower was a mem
Der, was asked in 1947 for its
opinion on the defense of
American interests in the Far
East and came to the conclu-
sion that, If a general war
broke out in the Far East,
there would be no sense in
having American troops begged
down on the mainland of Asia.
This is a far different thing
from a diplomatic decision by
the President and Secretary of
State to withdraw American
troops when no war was on

that Senator Mccarthy was
repeatedly offered his day in
court and consistently refused
it. Senator HenningS was
chairman of a Senate Priv

Senator Knowland offered
no guarantees, but said that if
Senator Mccarthy should re-

would be a black mark against
him. Why it would be any
more of a black mark than his
earlier refusal to explain his
financial transactions. Senator
Knowland did not explain.
The roll call by which the
Senate disposes of the Nc

There ought to be en-
blazoned over the Senate
chamber an age-old slogan:
Justice - it all depends on
whose OK is gored."
Thus for months now
several Democrats and two or
three misguided Republicans
in the Senate have been try
ing to cruelty Senator Nc
Carthy for using what they
regard as rough tactics in
dealing with Communist SYM
pathizers, Communist. Party
members and the whole ap-
paratus by which the Soviet
has been trying to infiltrate
American institutions as well
as the Government.
Senator Mccarthy isn't the
most tactful protagonist in the
world and has made many
mistakes, usually when goaded
by his opponents or by unco-
operative witnesses. but the
move to censure him for "acts
unbecoming q Senator" Is
transparency aimed at weak
ening-in the court of public
opinion-the influence of the
Nations chief prosecutor of
Communist activity.
For several days now, the
Republican leaders have been
at a loss how to meet this
attack, which isn't just against
Senator Mccarthy but is a
carefully designed effort to
smear the whole Republican
administration and party. But
now they have evidently dis
covered that the strongest de-
tense is q strong offense.

It Is this same moderate

The debate on the Flanders
