announce Thursday plans to
press for Senate action on his
move to strip Senator Mccarthy
Of the Craftsmanship of the
Committee on Government OPP
erations as well as Of the In
vestigations subcommittee.
Senator Flanders, frequent
and severe critic of Senator Nc
Carthy. has charged that the |
Wisconsin Senator is in con-
tempt Of the Senate because he
did not answer questions con-
corning personal finances raised
by q committee two years ago.
Wants Mccarthy Fired.
A resolution asking that SEN
ator Mccarthy be relieved of the |
chairmanShipS has been referred |
to the Senate Rules Committee. |
Republican leaders have OPP
posed calling it up because of the |
large amount Of work to be done
before adjournment.
Senator Flanders was expected |
to move for discharge of the
Rules Committee If the group |
fails to act on his resolution. He |
said he would press for action |
next week, adding that there |
"are a lot Of procedural and par
liamentary hurdles to clear"
MY move is very much alive |
and it does not have to have |
artificial respiration either"
Senator Flanders said.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of |
New York, predicted meanwhile |
there would be every effort |
made to block consideration" Of |
the Flanders resolution as well as
one he has introduced with the
same objective.

televiSion program, Youth
Wants to Know" Senator Leh-
man said he hoped that one Of |
the resolutions would be brought |
UP before Congress adjourns. He
promised to support Senator
Flanders II his resolution comes
up first.
II think there will be a reluc-
lance on the part Of many of the
Senators to pass either Senator
Flanders resolution or the reso-
luton which I have introduced,
he said.
Carr Gets Private Job Offers.
It had been reported that Mr..
Carr would take one Of two offers
of jobs in private industry. Since
then, MrG Carr has had two
other offers. But he said he would
stay with the subcommittee.
The demand for a shakeup Of
the Mccarthy group staff was an
outgrowth of the Army-Mc-
Carthy hearing and ewas made
by the three Democrats on the
seven-foember subcommittee and
by Senator Potter, Republican, of
Michigan.
Senator Potter, regarded as
the key man in the forthcoming
showdown. said yesterday my
position is the same now as it
was before"

investigation of Americans held
prisoner by the Chinese and
other Communist countries,
which he will conduct, must
await the clearing up Of staff
