starts: the Securities Exchange
Commission will have to approve
the corporate setup, which in

The Dixon-Yates contract,
signed this week, has been a
battle-ground for the conflicting
PHILOSOPHERS of public and pri-
vate power advocates ever since
it was broached early this year.
Foes still were storming as the
showdown neared.
Calls Contract Improved.
Some of the heat was reduced
last night when Acting Control
Ter General Frank H. Weitzel
said he felt the contract had
been improved by changes made
this week. including insertion of
provision to give the Government
recapture rights.
The General Accounting Office,
which keeps aSharp eye on Gov
ernment spending, earlier had
turned in a critical report on the
contract.
Mr.. Weitzel testified he didn't
feel it was in the province of the
General Accounting Office to
make recommendations for or
against a waiver.
He said that GAO's major OBJ
jections had been met by the
contract changes and he said
I'VE definitely feel that many i'm
provements have been made in
this contract in the interests of
the Government" But. he added:
"We were not the negotiators,
and I can't say whether we
would not have signed the con-
tract"
He said he couldn't express
an opinion when reporters asked
If he considers the contract a
good one.
Target Reached, Cole Says.
After Mr.. Weitzel concluded.
Mr.. Cole announced:
THAT completes the program
as set by this committee. We
will meet tomorrow to deter
mine the future course Of
action"

crat, of California, an opponent
Of the contract, hurriedly in

when the new 84th Congress con-
veneS in January.
1.-THE President will stress"
Mr.. Hagerty said, what he be-
lieves to be the Importance of
Senate approval of a very great
step toward unity Of Western
Europe"
The pact is a companion docu-
ment to the Southeast Asia COL
lective security alliance signed at
Manila by eight nations last
September.
Gen. Eisenhower sent that
pact to the Senate last Wednes-
day and asked that it be ratified
as ian important link" in free
world defense against any Red
aggression in that area.
The European Area documents
the President will submit call for
Senate approval of an agreement
which would % restore West
German sovereignty, and (2)
make that country a full-fiedged
member of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Mr.. Hagerty said Gen. Eisen-
hower'S message will be accom-
panied by a 4,700-word report
from Secretary of State Dulles
on provisions Of the treaty and
his views why 1t should. be rati-
fled.
Several other supporting docu-
ments which do not call for
Senate approval will accompany
the ratification papers.
Arrived Thursday.
The President arrived here in
Toledo late Thursday for o
round of duck and pheasant
hunting.
He was out in the marshes by
$3.50 am. yesterday and 80 min
utes later had bagged the legal
limit of 4 Mallard, / pintail
and / black duck.
Gen. Eisenhower and Mr..
Humphrey then toured the
marshes in flat-bottom punts
with outboard motors. ate a box
lunch back at the clubhouse
and then turned to pheasant
hunting during the afternoon.
The club raises and releases
it's own pheasants and thus is
exempt from any shooting limit,
officials said.
Mr.. Humphreys luck was almost
as good as the Presidents. He
brought down his daily limit of
four ducks within an hour.
But the Chief Executives
youngest brother, DR.. Milton s.
Eisenhower, president of Penn
sylvania State University, didn't
fare as well. He said he spotted
only two ducks all morning and
missed both.

Effort Pushed to Compromise
Senate Censure Of Nc Corthy

, that this Senate session is baset
on an unparalleled absurdity. !
Maintaining that Senator Nc.
Carthy dramatized the fight
against communism, Senator
Bricker contendedl that "the
question is whether we destroy
that symbol in a spirit OF vim
dictiveneSs."
! Senators Carlson and Stennis
devoted much of their speeches
to a. counter-attack on this en-
phasis on Senator Mccarthy as
a symbol of a crusade against
communism.
The Kansas Senator charged
Senator Mccarthy with a "cleal
breach" of the Senate rules in
saying In a Senate statement last
| Wednesday that the Watkins
Committee, was the unwilling
handmaiden" and involuntary
agent" Of the Communist Party
Stennis Criticizes McCarthy.
Senator Stennis charged that
the attack on the committee was
"a continuation of the slush and
slime which has been poured or
other committees which were
charged with the duty of trying
to look into his Senator Nc
Carthy's) conduct"
The Stennis speech drew high
praise from Senator Fulbright
Democrat, of Arkansas, who
with Senators Flanders, Repub-
lican, of Vermont and Morse
independent, of Oregon, intro.
duced an array Of charges which
the Watkins committee sifte6
down in arriving at the censure
findings.
Senator Fulbright commented
to reporters that Senator Stenni!
had brought the Senate debate
"back, on the track" by declar'
ing that communism is not tn,
issue in the censure move.
Senator Mccarthy has dont
good and effective work agains
communism" Senator Stennis
reminded the Senate, "but thi
Is not a license to destroy othel
processes of the Senate or de-
stroy its members.
IF we approve, then some
thing big and fine will have gone
from this chamber and some
thing Of a wrong character -
something representing a wrong
course, a wrong approach-wil
have entered and will have beer
accepted as a proper standard
of conduct"
Senator Johnson told the Sen.
ate that after hearing Gen
zwicker at the Watkins com.
mittee sessions last summer hs
was convinced he had none oi
the arrogance" imputed to hin
by Senator Mccarthy. Senator
Bricker, however, insisted that
Senator Mccarthy was thorough.
ly justified in calling Gen
zwicker an Irritating, eyasive
and arrogant" witness. He added
that no other would have faced
censure for saying, as Senator
Mccarthy did, that Gen. zwicker
was unfit to wear a generals
uniform.

to conform reasonably close to
the Watkins Committee sugges-
tions and to the insistent de-
r1ands of several other Senators
favoring censure.
Some Senator expressed doubt
that a watered-down resolution
eliminating all reference to CEN
sure or condemnation would be
agreeable to a majority of the
Senate.
Senator Aiken. Republican, OF
Vermont. remarked to reporters
today that "some Senators might
be willing to censure or con.
denim acts but might he unwill-
ing to vote against Senator Nc
Carthy personally" He said he
thought "some compromise is
possible but don't think I will
propose one"
The speech by Senator STEM
mis- yesterday was the hardest
hitting attack on Senator Nc
Carthy since full-scale Senate
debate began last Wednesday
Senators Carlson, Republican, of
Kansas, and johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado also members
Of the Watkins committee, spoke
in favor Of the censure reso-
luton.
Senator Mccarthy. however
had his defenders and was de-
scribed as the victim Of spite
full SANDERS"
Defended by GoIdwater.
Senator Goldwater, Republic
can. Of Arizona charged that
critics of Senator Mccarthy
Clipped in the smut pot" in an
attempt to destroy Senator Nc
Carthy whom he called the
major political obstacle te
Communists in America"
1T is difficult to believe the
Senator is really under attack
because of the relatively trivial
offenses which have been al
legged against him by the COM
mittee," the Arizona Senator
said. II suggest that Senator
Nc Carthy is facing a censure
vote in this body because he
has put his finger fearlessly upon
the men in high places who
through stupidity or muddled
theology, have stood in the way
Of an all-out fight against COM
munism. All the discredited
and embittered figures Of the
Hiss-Yalta period of American
dishonor have crawled out from
under their logs to join the ef-
forts to get even."
Senator Goldwater warned
that if the censure resolution
carries, the next target of attack
would be TBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover.
Senator Bricker, Republican
Of Ohio came to the defense OF
Senator Mccarthy. He an
nounced he would vote against
censure and he declared there
is no precedent for Furnishing a
Senate member for actions OF
the type charged against the
Wisconsin Senator. He asserted

Key West enjoyed its third
accident-free day of the mon
tn Wednesday and boosted its
chances of lettering April's
record considerably.
To date, in May, accidents
are occurring at the rate of
only slightly more than one per

0rably with the 1858 record Of
about one and a half crash

Incidentally, the talk deliver

NavyRelief
Fund Campaign
Begins Monday

The Navy Relief Society's ''Com-
mand Fund Raising Campaign, -
begins at all the twenty one naval
activities in the Key Weat area
Monday, May II.
The Navy Relief Society is, in
one sense of the word, the Nays
Community Chest. Although all ma
val activities have vital interest
in the various community fund
raising campaigns, the Navy Re-
lief Society is the organization that
takes care of most of the Nays
own individual financial needs.
Goal Is $21.0
With a goal of $21, 900 set, the
various naval activities, including
the ships, in the Key West area
will begin a concerted campaign
Monday, to meet this goal. The
figure $21, 200 represents the 1854
anticipated needs of the MRS.
Few people, outside of the Navy,
understand the workings of the
MRS, whose slogan is 1--WE Care
For Our Own" Although the Navy
Relief Society is not a charitable
organization, in the strictest sense
of the word, it is available to all
active duty Navy and Marine Corp
personnel, their dependents, and
dependents of deceased personnel.
Work Confidential
The work of MRS does is kept
confidential to protect the partici-
pants from embarrassment, how
ever, it publishes monthly figures
which graphically illustrates the a.
mount of work it does.
The local chapter of MRS, at this
moment, has more than SIG, 1000 in
loans out to naval personnel, and
their dependents in Key West. This
! sum represents loans to nearly ZOO
people.
Monday is pay day for most &C.
Invites in the Key West area and
each command will use this Oppor-
tunity to solicit funds from naval
personnel. ALI contributions are
voluntary.
The Navy, which actively parti.
cipated in the local Community
Chest Campaign and the Monroe
County March of Dimes Campaign
will not request aid from the Key
West citizenery, although all dona
tons will be accepted and acknow
lodged.
