Knowland said he had not been
informed on who has requested
time to speak.
Confer On Length.
Senator Knowland said he
would confer with Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson
of Texas and others before de-
Gliding on how long the daily
sessions would run. He added
that tomorrow's session probably
would run from noon until s
pm, with longer sessions in the
offlng for later in the week.
He said, I'VE are more likely
to have Saturday sessions than
not"
Predicting that two weeks
more would be more than ample
time" to consider the censure
resolution, the Senator added:
"I think there is going to be a
growing demand in the country
that this business be terminated
SO the 96 members of the Senate
and the administration can con-
centrate on how to save the
honor of the country. There
should be more attention given
to American honor than to the
dignity of the Senate"
Mr.. Williams talked with SEN
ator Mccarthy yesterday morn
ing and quoted Senator Nc
Carthy as saying his elbow, after
being treated, was giving him
hell" The attorney said the
treatment was undertaken so
Senator Mccarthy could get out
of the hospital for the censure
debate.
Urges 3-Count Rebuke.
Senator Watkins told reporters
that in his opinion the right
thing for the Senate to do would
be to rebuke Senator Mccarthy
not only for the two counts pend
ing against him but also for what
he has said about the special
committee.
Disputing suggestions that
some Republicans wish to avoid a
showdown, Senator Watkins SAID:
"One of the worst things that
could happen to the Senate, the
country and the Republican Par
ty would be to dodge this issue.
If the Republican Party does the
right thing it will gain in stat
ure and it won't be split. This
is not political issue and politics
should play no part in it,"
Senator Watkins said Senator
Mccarthy in his attacks on the
committee has not only i'm
pugned the integrity of the COM
mittee members but also has
BLASTED at all other "a Senators
who voted to direct us to investi-
gate the charges against him. I"
On August 2 the Senate voted
IS to IL to refer charges against
the Wisconsin Republican to a
special committee.
Bennett Plans Amendment.
Senator Bennett told reporters
he returned from Utah Friday
night to work on the new censure
count that he will introduce. He
declined in advance of the final
z draft to reveal the wording of
the amendment he will offer to
the pending censure resolution.
Others said they understood it
would be worded strongly and
would ask the Senate not only
to "censure" but also to "con-
demn" Senator Mccarthy for his
statements about the Watkins
committee.
The pending resolution calls
for censure of Senator Mccarthy
on two counts: for his attitude
toward a 1951-1952 Senate Elec-
tions subcommittee which looked
into his financial affairs, and for
his treatment of Brig. Gen.
Ralph w. zwicker when the gen.
eral was a witness before him.
Senator Bennett was one of
those saying he did not see how
the debate can be strung out"
Pointing out that numerous
Mccarthy supporters already
have spoken at length, the SEN
ator added:
II don't know who would fill
up the time. Unless the flood
gates break on the Democratic
