Knowlsnd's View
Sen. Knowland of California, the
COP floor leader, said in IN inter-
view he doesn't want to interfere
in the committees functions, but
he thinks Mccarthy should volun-
teer not to question witnesses nor
to vote on issues before the group.
Mccarthy has said he plans not
to vote ION any final decisions or
conclusions" of the subcommittee.
KnowIsnd said in an interview:
"Since She senator has agreed
to be sworn and to testify as a
witness, / would think the proce-
dure would be for him to volun-
tarily step aside and not attempt
to participate in the questioning
of other witnesses"
On the other hand, Sen. Potter
(R-Mich), a member of McCar-
thy's subcommittee, said he for
one isn't going to insist that Nc
Carthy give up his place as a com.

if the Wisconsin senator chooses
another course. Besides Mccarthy,

cans and three Democrats.

Little Dolores was taken
to New York more than a
week ago through the gen.
crosby of Key Westers who
gave more than $4,000 for
her treatment after The Citi-
zen brought her plight be-
fore the public in a news
story.
The New York surgeon, who has
preferred to avoid publicity, said
that ''the operation was success
full - prospects are very good
that she'll see." But, he added
that Little Dolores will have to re-
turn to his office in about four
months for further examination

Senator Everett NJ. Dirksen, Re-
publican, Of Illinois told 1,10O
Republican women last night
that never were the destroyers
and traitors in Government SO
busy" as during the 20 years of
Democratic rule.
He said 1t has been no picnic
for the Republicans to seek out
"the wreckers and destroyers, the
security risks and homosexuals,
the blabbermouths and drunks
the traitors and saboteurs" in
Government.
Senator Dirksen, chairman OF
the National Republican Sena-
torial Committee for the fall
elections, addressed the conven-
ton of the National Federation
of Republican Women, terming
them the greatest moral, spir-
itual and political force in the
land"
Most of his speech was devoted
to lambasting Democrats past
and present. including Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Harry S. Truman
and Adlai Stevenson.
OF the period of Roosevelt and
the New Deal, Dirksen said:
1.-THE grim god of war had res
cued the New Deal from its long,
frustrating failures. And upon
that jingly, fantastic, illusory
prosperity there was q bloody

Actually it got to 2.628,000 in
February Of that year. BY
February of 1850. unemployment

our resources to France and to

of the word "dreary" to describe
