Five Cofegories

Five Cutegories
The Senate censure committee
has boiled down the 46 charges
against Sen. Joseph r. Mccarthy
(R-Wis) into five categories for
the public hearings that begin
Tuesday.
Sen. Arthur Watkins (R-
Utah), committee chairman. said
the classifications were set up
because they include "some of
the most important charges" and
also because they can be Judged
largely on the basis of official
Irecords-without new testimony.
The first category is concerned
with contempt of the Senate"
and deals with McCarthy's re-
tusal in 1852 to appear before a
Senate subcommittee probing his.
finances.
The second takes up incidents
Of encouragement of federal en-
ployes to violate the law. their
oaths Of Office or executive or
ders. This deals with McCarthv's
statements during the Army
Mccarthy hearings urging fed
eral workers to supply him with
Information.
The third category also grew
out Of the hearings. It concerns
the receipt of confidential docu-
ments or information from ex-
ecutive files.
The fourth involves abuse of
Senate colleagues and stems
from McCarthy's denunciation
Of Sen. Robert Hendrickson (R-
MD as a living miracle, with
out brains or guts," and Sen.
nile"
The last category concerns in
'ldents in the blow-up between
