Watkins and his colleagues are
unable to hazard a guess as to
how long the censure hearing
might take. It undoubtedly will
be after Labor Day when the
Senate finally comes to grip with
the issue.
Still Would Be Big Issue.
If the censure is not settled
quite early in September. Nc
Carthyism likely will be the fore
most issue in most Of the con-
gressional election campaigns the
country over. Even should the
Senate act finally and early, it
will still be the big issue in many
House and senatorial campaigns.
Senator Ellender, Democrat,
of Louisiana promised in a radio
speech to help provide IAN un-
prejudiced answer" to- the
charges filed against Senator
Mccarthy. He said the issue in
the case "is not communism or
anti-communism" and warned
that both sides of the question
must be heard and an impartial
verdict given.

FRANKFURT, Aug. THE
United States Army let it be
known today, gently but firmly.
that it expects all wives and
teen-agers of its vast forces In
Europe to keep their straps up
and their flaps down.
Top officers said what they are
trying to do-Without issuing a
direct commands to. stop the
girls from walking around in
peek-a-boo attire that's some
thing less than dignified.
That goes for sunsuits, shorts,
jeans one size tighter than the
wearer, pin curriers' and other
devices.
First word of the Army's view
came out of Frankfurt's COM
mand three days ago. Today it
spread to Darmstadt, where the
northern area command put the
edict into writing.
10000 Families Affected.
Fact is, senior officers for the
European command, said the
Army's displeasure over the
street apparel of some dependent
wives and daughters is old hat.
They added that about 10000
American families in Germany,
France, and other European ma
tions, are affected.

order by President Truman on
August 10, 1851. He had sought
earlier appropriations for the
erection of Government build
ings in dispersed areas.
Originally it was planned to dis
perse 10000 workers. This
number was cut later to 10000.
But a bill to appropriate funds
for four buildings was killed in
the Senate in April 1851.
The policy applicable now is
based on directives by President
Eisenhower.
Arthur S. Flemming, director
of ODM, wrote the heads of
several agencies last April:
I'm order to provide greater
assurance that Government ac-
tivities will not be interrupted
in the event of attack, the
President has directed Cd that
new Federal buildings not be
constructed in critical target
areas, unless there is need for
an exception; 90 that in the in
terest of economy, existing ia
cilities appropriately located be
used to the extent practicable;
and 90 that the director of the
Office of Defense Mobilization
establish standards for the uni
form application of this policy"
1O-Mile Limit Restudied.
The statement of standards
worked out contains this:
New construction shall be un-
dertaken and space shall be
acquired for any Executive
Branch agency only when To-
Gated 10 or more miles from the
perimeter of an urban target
zone, major military installation
or other critical facility. Ex-
ceptions may be made when it
is determined by the head of
the agency having authority to
construct facilities or acquire
space that the nature of the ac-
tivity for which the facility is
to be used will not permit the
use of dispersed location"

The formal hearing probably
will not begin for two weeks.
The committee decided not to
start it until the Senate COM
pletes its legislative program,
which it may be unable to do
until some time next week. Then,
Senator Watkins said several
members said they would have
to take care of business at home

And he did not recall any long

He emphatically denied he had
given the $1,000 in exchange for

The suspected Taft-Hartley
Act violation going to the grand
jury involves a prohibition
against payment by an employer
to an employe group represent
ative in matters concerning the

denea1lor with a maximum pen-
atty of one year in jail and a
$4,000 fine. The law~affects both
employers and employees. FIJI
Assistant United States Attor-
ney E. Riley Casey, who will pre-
sent the case to the grand jury,
said this case is part of an in
vestigation into possible violation
of the Hobbs Anti -Racketeering
Act which forbids bribery or ex-
tortion in connection with COM
mercial matters. Violations of
this law come in the felony class
and carry maximum penalties of
three years and $4,000.
Perjury is Evident"
Mr.. Hoffman, in his letter to
Mr.. Brownell. said that if the
testimony given by Mr.. Moore
and others is believed, "it is evil
dent that perjury was commit
ted; that at least two other Fed
eral statutes were violated"
He suggested that Justice De-
partment agents be alerted to
the danger which threatens Mr..
Moore, "in view of the serious
ness of the alleged offenses and
of the fact that, to obtain and
sustain convictions, 1t would ap-
pear that Moore's testimony

was withheld pending an autop-
sy today.
She was Mrs. Sarah Frances
Hayes, %. of 4341 c street Sc,

Policy Group to Meet.
Chairman Ferguson announced
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee also will meet tomor-
row to discuss the possibility Of
recessing the Senate after it
completes its legislative work un-
til the Watkins committee is
ready to report. He predicted
there would be a vote on the
proposed censure before the
November elections.
Senator Ferguson said the
committee should make specific
recommendations to the Senate
on what to do about the charges
against Senator Mccarthy, not
just findings of fact.
But Senator George, Demo-
crat. of Georgia disagreed on
that point. He said the commit
tee should determine the truth
or falsity of the charges and
leave it to the Senate to decide
whether they are censurable.
Senator Ferguson said he
thinks only the charges referred
to the Watkins group by the
Senate can be considered, unless
the Senate itself decides to send
up other accusations.
Mcclellan Defends Action.
Meanwhile, Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Arkansas said so
far as he knew no one refused
to serve on the Watkins Com
mittee. He said some Senators
were automatically disqualified
because they had expressed views
on the Mccarthy issue, while
others could not serve for per-
Sonal reasons.
Senator Mcclellan defended
the action in sending the CEN
sure resolution and accompany
ing charges throug', the COM
mittee procedure. He said he
would not have voted for the
Flanders resolution if that pro-
cedure had not been followed.
