The 11-year-old boy lay
stomach down on the seawall,
idly poking at a floating box
caught in the vortex of a whirl-
pool. Suddenly he lost his grip
on the stones, clawed for ball
ance and fell into the water.
He didn't come up. Police are
still graphing for his body.
Twenty-four hours later, an
other boy was fishing in the
rapids. 1t was night, and groups
of fishermen yards away were
just vague forms huddled around
driftwood fires. The river flowed
powerfully by.
His foot moved forward for a
better stance, and he was gone.
They're still dragging for his
body. too.
Didn't Know Rules.
Neither boy could swim we'll,
and neither had been taught
water safety rules.
Their parents tragedy need
not be yours.
The Star and the YMCA are
sponsoring a campaign that can
teach your son to swim. Begin
ming April 10 and through April
"a. classes will be taught to all
who register in time at six pools
in the District and Maryland.

Mccarthy Blasts Edward R. Murrow And Stevenson

WASHINGTON, LR - Sen. Me Carthy has accused commentator Edward R. MurroW of having been connected with a Moscow school described as revolutionary, and Adlai Stevenson of dealing in untruths.
 MurroW said he actually was an adviser in an international educa- ton experiment the Russians can celled in 1885 before any school sessions were held.
 Last night Mccarthy fired some broadsides at Murrow, who de- voted his CBS television show Tuesday to a critical review of Mccarthy, and at Stevenson, who sounded off against 'McCarthy- ism" when he spoke to Democrats in Miami Beach Saturday.
 Saying that Murrow, Week after week, feels that he must smear McCarthy," he suggested, maybe Mr. Murrow is worried about the exposure of some of his friends"
 Murrow, in New York, termed the broadcast statements 'Mc- Carthy's latest reckless handling of the truth"
 As for Stevenson, Mccarthy centered on the 1852 presidential candidates statement that the new administration had turned up only one alleged active Commun- ist among more than two million federal employees.
 That, Mccarthy said, "of course is strictly untrue and either Ad- Tai knew it or should know it." The senator said long list could be made. He cited the names of three persons he said were drop ped as a result of investigations by his Senate Investigations sub committee.

Charges Mccarthy Used Influence
 For Drafted Aide

WASHINGTON, R- Sen. Mo Carthy cried "blackmaiI' today at an Army report he and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, applied pres sure for special treatment of G. David Schine, a drafted aide. From other senators there were demands for a quick investiga- ton.
 Sen. Potter R-Mich) said Cohn should be removed if what he called the shocking charges" as to the chief counsel were true. The report said Cohn voiced threats that Army Secretary Rob- ert T. Stevens would be through" and the Army wrecked" if Schine were sent overseas.
 Potter said he wanted meet ing today to go into 'all the facts. :"
 The Army report said McCar- thy applied pressure to get spe- cial treatment for Schine and charged that Cohn used threats in frequent calls to top Army of ficials.
 Schine, 26, is a former commit tee consultant who was drafted into the Army. He is the son of a wealthy New York state theater chain operator.
 The Army Chief of Staff, Brig Gen. L, w. Truman, said that since coming under 3rd Army jurisdiction Schine has been treated just like John Jones'"

7H2 Pct. Increase
 In Freight Rates
 For Alaska Trade

WASHINGTON, tR - The Fed eral Maritime Board has approved a general increase in freight rates in the Alaska trade of up to 712 per cent.

Hope Abandoned For Early Vote
 On Statehood Issue As Alaska And
 Hawaii Bills Are Linked In Senate
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, tR - Repub- lican leader Knowland of Cali fornia abandoned hope today of reaching agreement for an early vote on the Alaska-H Hawaii state hood issue.
 Shortly after the Senate voted 46-43 yesterday to link statehood for the two territories, KnoWland announced he would seek a vote Monday. But later the COP Senate leader announced h e statehood legislation would be laid aside today and possibly early next week for other matters. Sen. Smathers D-Fla), who opposed statehood for either territory, said he knew of lat least 10 senators who want to debate the matter fully"
 Opinion was divided as to whe- ther the combined bill will pass the Senate, with both sides pre- dieting another close vote.
 Knowland told the Senate be- fore the vote that combining the bills would jeopardize the chances of either territory achieving state hood this year. He said he favored both bills, but predicted that if Hawaii only should pass the con- gress this year, Alaska would fol- low within two years.
 It wasn't so much what the Senate would or wouldn't do about Alaska that worried Demo- crats and influenced the vote yes terday. The maneuver they put across to harness Hawaii and Alaska was aimed at the House.
 The House has passed bill to let Hawaii enter the union lIlS OII1 IO WIlICH tl1S OeIIdtS duueO Alaska. But the House Rules Com mittee has been sitting for months on a bill to let Alaska come in.
 Consequently, many Senate Democrats were convinced the only way to make sure of House action on Alaska at this congress Sional session was to tie it to a ballot on Hawaii.

BY the Associuted Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin said today he has
formally turned over to a Sen
ate-House committee responsible
ity for investigating alleged fraud
in Federal spending in Alaska.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana who heads the Joint
Committee on Defense Produc-

He said he expects Senator Nc
Carthy to turn over within a day
OF two documentary evidence to
provide a basis for the proposed
public inquiry.
The Senate Investigations SUBJ
committee, which Senator Nc
Carthy heads, authorized him
last week to pass the inquiry to
other hands while it looks into
his row with Army officials.
Senator Mccarthy announced
that staff investigators who have
had most to do with the pre-
liminary inquiry will be assigned
ION loan" to Senator Capehart's
Joint committee.
Senator Mccarthy again de-
clined in an interview to give
