are of a serious nature, reflect
ing upon Senator McCarthy's
character and integrity, and
have not been answered either
before the Senate or before any,
OF its committees.
i It is our opinion that the fail
ure Of Senator Mccarthy to ex-
plain to the Senate these mat
tiers: ID Whether funds collect
ed to fight communism were di-
verted to other purposes inuring
to his personal advtange; (2)
whether certain Of his official
activities were motivated by self
interest; and (3) whether cer-
tain Of his activities in senator
ial campaigns involved viola
tions of the law was conduct
ccntumacious toward the Senate
and injurious to its effective
ness, dignity, responsibilities,
processes, and prestige.
Is. The reelection Of Senotor
Mccarthy in 1852 did not
settle these matters.
This question is answered in
part by our conclusions that the
Senate is continuing body and
has power to censure a Senator
for conduct occurring during his
prior term as Senator. and in
part by the fact that some of the
contumacious conduct occurred
after his reelection. notably the
letter Of December /, 1852. The
Senate might have proceeded
with this matter in 1853 or earlier
in 1854 had the necessary reso-
luton been proposed.
Some of the questions, notably
the use Of private purposes of
funds contributed for fighting
communism, were not raised
until after the election. The peo-
pie of Wisconsin could pass only
upon what was known to them.
Nor do we believe that the
reelection of Senator Mccarthy
by the people Of Wisconsin in
the fall of 1852 pardons his
conduct toward the Subcommit-
tee on Privileges and Elections.
The charge is that Senator Nc
Carthy was guilty of contempt
of the Senate or a senatorial
committee. Necessarily, this is
a matter for the Senate and
the Senate alone. The people
of Wisconsin can only pass upon
issues before them; they can
not forgive an attack by a SEN
ator upon the integrity of the
Senate's processes and it's COM
mittees. That is the business of
the Senate.
D. Conclusions. s-.
It is therefore, the conclusion
OF the select committee that the
conduct of the junior Senator
from Wisconsin toward the SUBJ
committee on Privileges and
Elections, toward it's members,
including the statement con-
corning Senator Hendrickson
acting as a member of the sub
committee, and toward the Sem
ate. was contemptuous, contu-
ulacious and denunciatory, with
out reason or justification, and
was obstructive to legislative
processes. For this conduct, it is
our recommendation that he be
Gems ured by the Senate.

McCarran's S Death
May Lift Republican
Senate Margin 10 ;
Nevada Democrat Dies
After Making Address
At Party Meeting

The death of Senator McCar-
ran of Nevada raised the prob
ability today that the Republic
cans will have a three-vote mar
gin of control when the Senate
reconvenes in special session on
November 8.
The 78-year-old veteran Dem
ocrat collapsed and died of a
heart attack last night just after
addressing a party rally in Haw-
thorne. New. He had already told
friends he intended to run in
1856 for what would have been
a fifth term.
The Senator's death changed
the present Senate lineup to 48
Republicans, 46 Democrats and
one independent. Republican
Gov. Russell is expected to ap-
point a Republican to fill the
vacancy.
May Delay Appointment.
There was speculation in Ne
vada that the Governor probably
will wait until after the Novem-
ber 2 election to make the ap-
pointment, in order to avoid
factional quarrels which might
affect his own chances for re-
election.
But it appeared likely that he
might make the appointment be-
fore the Senate returns to Wash
ington November 8 to consider
censure charges against Senator
Mccarthy. Republican, Of Wis
consin.
Senator McCarran was a
strong supporter of Senator
Mccarthy. His last public state
ment on a national issue was on
Monday when he denounced the
Watkins committee for its re-
port recommending censure of
the Wisconsin lawnaker.
Gov. Russell is expected to
appoint an Eisenhower supporter,
who presumably might vote
against Senator Mccarthy.
Term Ends in January, 1857.
It was uncertain whether the
appointee would serve out Sen
ator McCarran's term, which
expires in January. 1857, or a
shorter period. The Governor
asked attorneys to study State
law on that point.
Senator McCarran's last
speech was an attempt to

yCourt Upho|ds
ConstitutionaIity Of
New Red Control Aci
Communist Candidates
Name Is Ordered
Taken Off Ballot
BY the Associated Press

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 90
A. Superior Court judge today
upheld the constitutionality of
the new Federal Communist
Control Act and approved the
removal of a Communist candi-
dates name from the ballot.
Bert Salwen, Communist Party
candidate for freeholder in Mer-
Ger County, where the State
Capitol is located, brought the
issue to the State court. A free
holder is a member of the county
governing board.
Mr.. SalWen obtained a court
order asking County Clerk AL
bert H. Rees to show cause why
Mr.. Salwen's name should not
be restored to the November z
election ballot.
After President Eisenhower
signed the new law two weeks
ago, Mr.. Rees ordered Mr.. Sal
wen's name removed from the
ballot.
Judge John Drewen said "the
court is fundamentally asked te
declare unconstitutional the Fed
eral Communist Control Act. Il
declines to do So"
The Communist candidate
attorney, William Rossmore
said he probably would carry al
appeal to higher courts.
Mr.. Rossmore argued the Law
deprives Mr.. SalWen of his rlgh
to present his program to th'
people," infringing his libertie
under the first amendment t.
the Constitution, which guaran
tees free speech.
Judge Drewen ruled the nev
law takes away the legal right
of the Communist Party as
whole and does not refer to in
dividuals. The first amendmen
guarantees individual libertie
only, Judge Drewen ruled, ant
thus the Communist Control Ac
is not affected by it.

show when he attends the third

ernors' Conference on Metropoli-
tan Washington Traffic Problems

But as outstanding a record
as it is," Chief Agnew COM
mented yesterday, you can't
pinpoint any single reason for its
accomplishment.
II should say rather that it
was achieved as the result of a
combination of many things -
| he said.
Luck in Part.
The veteran traffic official
cited driver-pedestrian educa-
tion, violation enforcement
weather and luck factors toward
making the record possible.
A routine piece of police
procedure also must come in fol
some of the credit of lowering
fatalities. This is the system oi
weekly and monthly summaries
in table form, of accidents, theL
causes, their place of occurrence
and their time during a 24-houl
period.
Such charts enable precinct
commanders, at a glance. to spot
troublesome intersections or "ac.
cident prone" areas and then as.
sign more men to the problem.
Chief Agnew calls this kline
of police work "selective enforce.
ment."
Another factor has been more
strict enforcement of pedestrian
and driver violations.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-France
and her Western allies, striving
to force a common defense for
Europe, were reported today to
have agreed on a compromise
plan for rearming West Ger
many within the Atlantic family
of nations.
Top level sources close to the
nine-power conference on Ger
man sovereignty and Western
defense said the plan called for
a new seven-nation alliance and
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization (NATO) to share the
job of safeguarding against run
away German rearmament.
France has consented to the
simultaneous entry of West
Germany into NATO and the
seven-nation pact, these sources
said. The new alliance would
consist of West Germany, Italy,
Britain, Holland, Belgium,
France and Luxembourg.
These developments were re-
ported against background of
personal conferences between
high ranking leaders at the nine
power meeting which opened at
Lancaster House yesterday.
Adenauer Sees Premier.
This morning French Premier
Pierre Mendes-France conferred
more than an hour with West
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer. Then Mr.. Mendes-
France and Mr.. Adenauer both
attended the morning session of
the nine-power meeting. Before
the afternoon session, Mr..
Mendes-France went to the
United States Embassy for a
talk of more than an hour with
United States Secretary of State
Dulles.
The conference has turned
over the work of hammering out
details of the new compromise
formula to committees of ex-
perts.
Previously, Mr.. Mendes-France
had demanded that the controls
over the European continental
troops and the supply of weapons
be exercised completely by the
seven-nation authority.
Conference sources reported,
however, that he is now willing
to go along with the idea tnat
some of these safeguards should
be under the supreme NATC
commander, United States Gen
Alfred Gruenther. West Ger
many, backed by Britain and the
United States, would have pre-
ferled to have all of these con-
trolls work through the Atlantic
Pact commander.

The compromise was reported
shortly after high French sources
had claimed that the nine-poWei
conference had agreed to Mr.
