Clellan would have an opportu-
nifty to participate.
The Arkansas Senator told
the Star he plans to leave for
Washington as soon as the pri-
mary vote is certified tomorrow
and to be on the Senate floor
not later than Monday morn
ing. The Senator appears to be
the winner without run-off
election in a hard-fought pri-
mary in which he obtained a
majority running between 1000
and 5000 votes over his oppon-
ents.
In withholding any commit
ment on the Flanders resolution
or the Smith proposal, Senator
Mcclellan said:
Until l get up there and
discuss it with the leaders, ] do
not want to commit myself. It's
so difficult to make a committal
while I am down here since there
are so many angles to this
situation"
Senator Knowland, in his dis
cussion of the situation, said it
'is obvious that not just one
point of view will be presented"
Might Tie Up Program.
He added that the debate
probably will tie up the legis-
lative program. but if this is
what the Senators want he would
allow it,
II came to the conclusion that
dit hthe amount OF discussion
that has been going on up to this
point" Senator Knowland said.
lit might be just as vel Ito have
q full dress debate which is what
the proponents of the (Flanders)
resolution want. They shouldn't
complain if they get it."
Many Democrats. as well as
Republicans, have been I'M
happy over the prospects OF be-
ing recorded on the Mccarthy
situation.
Although the Smith resolution
offered a possible way out OF the
dilemma, Senator Flanders said
1t was his understanding that
this was not a leadership. move.
He added that Senator Smith
telephoned him this morning
and informed him he was in
Producing the resolution.
HE told me that he arrived at
his resolution the same way I do
myself-by waking up early in
the morning."
Text Of Smith Resolution.
This is the text of the resolu-
ton for an investigation OF
"McCarthyism" offered by Sem
ator Smith:
Whereas, the Senate views
with real concern the growing
divisiveness and disunity in the
Senate and throughout the coun-
try over the alleged good or evil
of so-called McCarthyism, and:
Whereas, it is the immediate
responsibility of the Senate to
deal with this critical situation
in an objective judicial and
stateSmanlike manner:
Nov. therefore. be it resolved
that the Vice President of the
United States Immediately ap-
point a special bipartisan COM
mittee of the Senate to investi-
gate and report with recon-
mendations to the Senate on this
controversial matter. The COM
mittee shall be composed of six
Senators, three of whom shall
be nominated by the Republican
Policy Committee and three by
the Democratic Policy Commit
tee. The Vice President shall
be an ex-of1icio chairman of the
group. The committee shall re-
port with recommendations to
the Senate not later than Feb
ruary l, 1885,"
Flanders Faces Censure Move.
Indications that the debate
would be a lively one were seen
in a declaration by Senator
Capehart. Republican. of In
diana, that he would propose a
Flanders resolution amendment
which would censure the Ver-
monter for unbecoming con-
duct in attacking Senator Nc
Carthy. Also, Senator DirkSen,
Republican, Of Illinois has said
he would reply to speeches
against Senator Mccarthy If the
Flanders resolution is brought
up for action.
One Republican Senator pre-
dicted that the Flanders cenSure
resolution would receive Is Re-
publican votes If the vote comes
on the main issue. But. he
said, fewer Republicans probably
would oppose q motion to table,
on the grounds they were voting
for earlier adjournment Of Con-
gress rather than for Senator
Mccarthy.
Friends Of Senator Mcclellan
have said they expected the Ar
ksnsan to favor censure.
