One Of the reasons he ques-

it was prying into his personal
affairs as far back as 1885, even
before he was old enough to be
eligible to be q Senator. He as
sured the Watkins committee
that he had no objection to an
investigation Of his life from

that the subcommittee in 1851

His defense against charges
that he treated the Senate sub
committee contemptuously in

that Senator Hayden, Democrat,

Chairman Watkins directed his

contention and possibly come up

noting that his remarks fol-

In his defense against the
charge Of contempt Of the Sem

Before turning the letter over
to Senator Watkins, Senator Nc

Mccarthy Rebuffed.
Senator McCarthy's attempts
to explain his position on the
"letter" and his assertion that it
contained no classified material
met with q quiet but firm rebuff
by Chairman Watkins yesterday.
In one of the few instances Of
irritation he has shown at the

Chadwick, not only denied it was
classified but also demanded:
How in the name Of reason
can defend the charge Of
spuriousness If this committee
won't look at this document?"
That disputed docum n t
figured earlier in a ruling by
Chairman Watkins. Senator
Mccarthy and Mr.. Williams
complained that the ruling

defense against charges that the
Senator should be cenSured for
''inciting" Government employees
to give him information about

ments. and that he illegally re-
ceived and used secret FBI
material.
The ruling was that Senator

not statements and actions of

as the basis for justifying the
wisconsin Senator's solicitation
of information from Government

An English doctor told. the

today he has found less coronary
disease among bus conductors
than among bus drivers.
DR.. j. N. Morris of London
was emphasizing the possible ef-
fects of differences in physical
activity and stress upon heart
disease. He said that while the
least coronary trouble seems to
occur in countries where it is the
custom to work on a hard, sim
pie, low-fat diet, there also are
differences between groups Of
men in the same coontry.
On the typical English double
decker bus, DR.. Norris noted,
the conductors are very active
physically because they are con-
stantly running up and down
the steps while drivers remain
