Six months ago, he said, few

Two Concluding
Comments Voiced

And now the chair would
like to make two concluding
comments. Under the applic-
able standing rules of this
subcommittee, the presence of
one subcommittee member at
these hearings shall consti-
tute a quorum. This rule pre-
walls in our subcommittee sole
ly to make certain that in
the event of a test in the
courts there can be no legal
question raised as to wheth-
er at any given time a quor-
UNI of the subcommittee was
in attendance. However, as
the temporary chairman of
the subcommittee during these
hearings, I pledge you now
that I shall not conduct these
hearings at any time that
both of our political parties
is not represented on the sub
committee,
Since our labors began on
the task in hand, numerous of
our colleagues and many COM
mentators have suggested to
the members of this subcom-
mittee that-to use a COLO
quialism - I'VE are on the
spot" That statement is def
nitely correct. In a larger
sense, however. to continue the
colloquialism, the chair would
like to suggest that everybody
at this end of the committee
room is equally and likewise

pant in this dispute. like each
member of our subcommittee,
Mr.. Jenkins, is likewise ION

does neither side of this dis
pute but serving rather to
help guide our entire SUBJ
committee in its search for
facts. Our friends reporting
these he earrings throughout
America by radio and tele-
vision are likewise being tried

where demanding what I am
confident they will receive
fair and impartial coverage
with no deletions or selections
calculated to give advantage

a grave and serious nature as
to have caused great concern
on the part of this subcom-
mittee as we'll as on the part

therefore the purpose of this

that which is true and to
expose that which is false with
respect to said charges and
counter charges.

Immediately before the mid

Senator Mccarthy said the
FBI recently estimated there

ment which was reached in
consultation with all of the

We would like to reaffirm
at the outset that due to the
unusual circumstances Of this
inquiry and the positions held
by the disputants. it seemed
desirable to evolve rules of
procedure which are somewhat
of a departure from the usual
rules for congressional in
quiries or Investigations. It is
not our intention that these

be used by other congressional

Text of Statement
By Senator Mcclellan

FOLLOWING Is the tert OF a
statement By Senator McClel-
Ian of Arkansas, senior Demo.
crGt OF the Senate InpestiguC
tions Subcommittee, as it
opened the Mccarthy Army
hearing today:
Mr.. Chairman: We. the
minority members of this COM
mittee, exceedingly regret the
events and circumstances that
have become the subject Of
this inquiry. However. the
charges and countercharges
that gave rise to this contro-
versy are of such a grave ma
ture as to make these proceed
ings mandatory.
The charges and accusations
are so diametrically in conflict
that they cannot possibly be
reconciled. This committee.
therefore, has the RESPONSE
bility and the duty in the
course of these hearingsI to
develop the facts and to estab-
lish the truth or the falsity
of the accusations that have
been made. It will be an ardu-
Gus and difficult task one that
is not pleasant to contemplate.
but it is a job that must be
done.
Mr.. Chairman, we. the DEM
ocratic members. will whole
heartedly undertake to CO.
operate with and assist the
majority in making these hear
ings impartial, fair and thor
ough. to the end that that
which is true may be revealed
and that which is false may
be exposed. without regard to
any personalities that may be
involved.

(Arkansas) the ranking DEM
ocratic member Of our SUBJ
committee.
At this point the chair would
like. to add a few personal
comments on his own respon-
Sibility.
These hearings, at best,
comprise an unpleasant busi-
ness. Presiding over these
hearings is a responsibility
which I do not welcome and
which I did all that I honor
ably could to avoid. I have felt
from the beginning that some
other group rather than this
subcommittee could and should
appropriately undertake this
assignment. However. in Of
fees such as the members of
this committee hold. each
Senator must accept or shirk
the duties assigned to him.
The members of this subcom-
mittee are resolved to accept
our individual and collective
responsibility to do our best
to adjudicate and to resolve
this unpleasant affair.
AS acting chairman of the
subcommittee, want now
publicly to express my appre-
citation to my Democratic and
Republican associates on this
subcommittee. We have dur
ing the past several weeks
devoted many long hours to
the problems involved in this
investigation and these hear
ingS. We have held we'll over
25 meetings and conferences
of our subcommittee mem
berS.
Every decision, every action
and every vote has been by
unanimous agreement on the
part Of the members of this
subcommittee with the sole
exceptions of the vote by
which this committee assumed
the responsibility for conduct
ing the investigation, which I
opposed. and the vote by
which Senator Dworshak was
named on the subcommittee
to replace Senator Mccarthy
during these hearings which
was opposed by Senator
DWorShak.
/ want to express my per-
sonal appreciation to every
member of this subcommittee
for the unprecedented CO.
operation and dedication to
purpose which has resulted in
this long unprecedented, and
unbroken series of unanimous
decisions.

NEW YORK. April 22.-Sena-
tors in search of reasons for
juvenile crime have turned the
spotlight on comic books fea-
turing horror and violence.
They got conflicting answers
when they asked witnesses at
Senate subcommittee hearing
yesterday if such books had a
bad effect on youngsters.
Il don't think it does them a
bit of HARM" said one comic
book publisher who took credit
for putting out the first horror
comics"
An opposing opinion came
from a psychiatrist who de-
clared. GAS long as these books
exist. there are no secure homes. :"
The hearings, which continue
today, were opened by Subcom-
mittee Chairman Hendrickson.
Republican, of New Jersey with
these remarks:
This is not subcommittee of
blue nose cenSorS. We want
to find out what damage, if any,
is being done to our children"
Defended by Publisher.
Horror comics were defended
as harmless by Publisher William
H. Gaines. whose firm, founded
by his father, originally sold
comics based on science, world
history and Bible stories.
Asked about the origin of more
violent types of comic books, Mr..
Gaines replied. II didn't start
crime. I don't know who did
that. But I started horror"
Mr.. Gaines gave the subcom-
mittee an idea of how he judged
good and bad taste in comic book
covers. One of his books pic
tured a man with bloody arm
standing over a woman and
holding her severed head in one
hand. This was in good taste,
he declared.
It would be in bad taste. he
said, "if the head were held a
little higher with the blood drip
ping out"
Warns of Books.
DR.. Frederick Wertham, SEN
ior psychiatrist of the City De-
partment of Hospitals, warned of
danger in blood and thunder
comic books.
1T is primarily the normal
child who is affected" he said,
explaining that abnormal chill
dren are too wrapped up in
themselves to be influenced by
comic books.
"It is the good child who is
tempted and seduced by the
comic books, AS long as these
