Fulbright Crificizes
Public Threats by
U. 5. Against Allies
By ihe As.oeiu.ed Press

Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
Of Arkansas said last night he
believes the United States could
accomplish more by quiet
diplomacy rather than public
threats to her allies.
Interviewed on the NBC TV-
radio show "Meet the Press, -
Senator Fulbright. q member Of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. said public demands on
other nations makes it impos-
sible for them to act" IF they
do comply with such demands,
he said. ''it appears they are
doing it because you threaten
them"
Senator Fulbright said that
was the main reason he opposed
a provision in the foreign aid
bill which would deny aid funds
to France and italy unless they
join the European Defense Com
munity.
Opposes Knowland Threat.
It was one of his reasons, he
said. for his not agreeing with
the threat by Senator Knowland
of California that If Red China
is admitted to the United Ma
tons he would resign as Repub-
lican Senate leader and fight to
get the United States out of

Congress recently seems to

BY Inc Asseeiossd Press

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July 10.
The National Executive Com
mittee Of the Young Democrats
Of America has adopted q reso-
luton urging the Senate to strip
Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
of Wisconsin Of his committee
Craftsmanship.
The resolution, adopted yester-
day at the final session Of q
three-day meeting, said Senator
Mccarthy has created fear and
suspicion" throughout the conn-
try in his hunt for Communists.
The resolution also censured
his "abuse of scientists" and said
he had attempted to ALLEVIATE
this country's Western allies.
"Shivercrats" Rejected.
Earlier yesterday, the Execu-
tive Committee Endorsed its Gre
dentials Committees rejection Of
q Texas delegation which SUPP
ported President Eisenhower in
the 1852 campaign.
The vote was 81 against the
so-called "Shivercrats" Demo-
Gratis who went along with Gov.
Allen ShiverS of Texas in his
support OF Gen. Eisenhower
with six passing in the vote and
five abstaining.
BY that vote, the committee
favored the self-styled "old-line
party men" from Texas who sup
ported Adlai Stevenson. the
Democratic presidential candi-
date.
Kentucky and North Carolina
delegates supported the Shivers
faction In discussions preceding
the balloting, but abstained from
voting.
Loyalty Oath Urged.
Oscar Mauzy. a member of the
anti-Shivers group, described the
vote as "a complete reputation
Of Gov. Shivers and his domina-
ton of Texas politics" Mr..
Mauzy said his group, armed
with recognition, would seek to
organize all young party men,
bers who will take "a loyalty
oath" to party nominees.
However. j. w. Mccormick, jr.,
speaking. for the "Shivercrats, 4"
bitterly assailed the national
committees decision and said
the vote rejecting his group was
ordered by Stephen A. Mitchell,
national Democratic chairman.
In another resolution, the ma
tional executive committee of the
Young Democrats urged that the
voting age be lowered to 18.

quickly" Senator Fulbright said.
Asked what he would do for
peace in the Far East, Senator
Fulbright said he would send
Chester Bowles out to negotiate
with India, Burma and the other
countries to try and get them to
take the lead in their own de-
tense.
Mr.. Bowles is his choice for
the assignment, he said, because
the one-tirne Ambassador to In

Eloy states that his father bran.
