HERE'S A FLAGRANT CASE OF A
POTS CALLING A KETTLE BLACK

II we give thought to own faults we'll be
more circumpect in accusing others of things that we
are guilty of ourselves
For instance, here's Joe Mccarthy accusing Genera,
wicker OF being arrogant and "evasive" What's Joe
himself modest and direct? The Citizen knows of NO
otner man IN public life who is arrogant and evasve
that Mccarthy is himself. We don't deny because vva
don't know what he said about Zwicker but we do know
as newspapers have declared many time it has been
impossible to pin Mccarthy down the point in question
But The Citizen does not have to 60 out of Kew
West to find people jogging along trail that Mccarthy
has stuck to during his public life. few DAYS AFRO
caller talked to The Citizen editor about resident who
had often criticized another local man for doing certain
things and the critic was then doing similar thing
So it goes in life in Key West and everywhere else
confirms the biblical statement about seeing the mote
IN the other fellows and not seeing the beam in ours
But there are many many people who are not of
critical nature and Key West has its proporonate share
of them You don't have to think long to recall Kew
Westers, men or women who considerable in their
attitude toward their felowmen
Advice, even when it is asked for, is sometimes
thought to be prompted by Interior motive We know
Key Wester who would be holding certain position
today had ne taken the advice that had been reayed to
him about his intention in matter that was of great
interest to him.
Too often many of us ask for advice that we don't
intend to take We ask for merely learn the reaction
OF friend or acquaintance Hence, it wise to be
sparing with your advice Don't give in matters where
money is involved whether be in Stock Market real
estate proposed business transaction If you advise
man to buy certain stock and the price falls he'll
blame you for his buying it. the price increases he'll
forget to thank you.
But to return to McCarthys arrogant" and "evas-

heard OF regarding the old saying about pots calling
kettle black.

Demand for Watkins
To Testify on Peress
BY james Y. Newton

Senator Mccarthy last night
sent q third message to Chair
man Watkins Of the special Sem
ate committee that recon-
mended censure Of him, urging
the Utah Republican to testify
before the Mccarthy Investiga-
tions subcommittee on the Peress
case.
The fact that you are q SEN
ator,n Senator Mccarthy tele-
graphed Senator Watkins in Salt
Lake City. places you in no spe-
.cial category where you can keep
information about Communist
infiltration from our inyestigat-
ing COMMITTEES"
Senator cCarthy claims that
in its report to the Senate, rec
ommending censure, the Wat
kins committee stated it knew
who was "culpable" in the Per-
ess case. This was q reference
to who in the Army or Defense
Department was responsible for
the promotion and honorable
discharge of Mai. Irving Peres&
former Army dentist described
by Senator Mccarthy as a Fifth
Amendment Communist. The
Senator has been seeking the
information since last winter.
"Our investigating committee
is entitled to that information in
that we have not completed our
investigation of the Peress mat
ter" Senator Mccarthy said in
the telegram.
Senator McCarthy said he was
sending the third message be-
cause some news stories stated
that he wished Senator Watkins
to defend under oath the censure
charge that he abused Brig. Gen.
Ralph w. Zwicker, former COM
mandant at Camp Kilmer, N. j..
where Maj. Peress was stationed
before his discharge last Febru-
ary 2.
He said that he had no inten-
tion of questioning the chairman
or any other members Of the
Watkins committee about activi-
ties of the committee. but was
only seeking information on the
Peress case.
