Mccarthy Wants
Free Time on Air 10
Answer Stevenson
0v the Assoeihisd Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Mar. 8.
Senator Mccarthy. Republic
can, of Wisconsin says he wants
equal free time on national radio
and television networks to an
Swer Adlai E. Stevenson's charge
that his activities threaten the
country with a malignant and
and fatal totalitarianism."
Mr.. Stevenson's Saturday night
speech was carried free on CHS
television and NBC radio. Sen
ator Mccarthy demanded and
received equal time to answer an
attack by former President Tru-
man at the time Of the Harry
Dexter White case.
(In New York, the National
Broadcasting Co. and the CO.
lumbia Broadcasting System
said they have received no
such request from Senator Nc
Carthy yet.
Senator Attacks Speech.
Mr.. Stevenson's charges in his
speech Senator McCarthy's in
vestigations of communism
threatened malignant and
fatal totalitarianism" and that
out Of 2 million Federal employees
"only one alleged active Com
munist has been found" brought
a hot reply from Senator Nc
Carthy.
1T was a very clever political
talk designed to cloud the issues. |"
the Senator said in an interview.
1.-THE speech reminded me of
a story. My brother and I went
to my fathers barn a long time
ago to clean it out. We disagreed
how 1t should be done. If Stew
enson had been there he would
have kept trying not to clean it
out at all.
what the Republicans are
trying to do is clean up the Dem
ocratic mess. We don't always
agree on how the job should be
done, but we all agree it must be
DONE"
Senator Mccarthy said he
campaigned for President Eisen-
hover in 1852 and I'D campaign
for him again today"
mot that think he's perfect.
he said, but the President is
right IS per cent of the time.
which is a very big average"
The Senator said he thought
what Mr.. Stevenson was so
stirred up about" was the fact
that President Eisenhower docs
not object to exposure of Com
muniStS in the Army or else
where"
Mr.. Stevenson concentrated
much of his fire on the Senator's
recent dispute with Army Secre-
tary Stevens over the Army's
handling of Communists. Mr.
Stevens encounter with Senator
Mccarthy resulted in so many
reports that he had or would re-
sign that the Army Secretary on
Saturday issued a formal denial
declaring nothing could be
further from the truth"

derer. has won the Endorsement

decided to enter the race to
"obliterate" charges against him
and "slurS against the ideals Of
my father"
The oldest son of the late Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt made
no specific reference to his wife's
sensational separate maintenance
suit. but he did say personal
questions are being used not only
against me. but against the DEM
0cratlc Party"
He added that the question:"
left him two choices, either to
retire from public life, which he
said would acknowledge levi
dence of guilt and lack of cour-
age" or:
ITO come before the people
and get elected to Congress and
make a record which forever
would be an answer to any
Smears the opposition would
make"

In her suit, Mrs. Romelle
Roosevelt. So. named three
correspondents and filed q letter
signed by Mr.. Roosevelt and ad-
hitting infidelities with nine

the charges. saying he was
forced to sign the letter in 1945
to prevent his wife from divorce
ing him and thus adding to the
burdens of his father as Presi-
dent.
Eleven candidates originally
were in the running for the
party's backing. But Mr.. Roose-
velt's only serious competition

Two Senators Oppose
Sfevenson's Views
On Campaign Issue
BY the Assoeioted Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Mar. 8.
-Adlai E. Stevenson's attempt
to make President EiSenhower's
kid-glove treatment Of Senator
Mccarthy the major 1854 cam
paign issue today ran into Dem
ocratic dissent from two Sena-
tors who believe the Nations eco
nomic condition is more impor-
tant to the voters.
In a speech creating the gen.
eral impression here that he Is
actively in the field for the 1856
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, Mr.. Stevenson said Satur-
day night that President EiSen-
hover could stop what the for
mer Illinois Governor called a
campaign by Senator Mccarthy
to SOW SANDER and diSSension"
across the Nation.
Although he said he agreed
generally with that conclusion,
Senator Magnuson. Democrat,
Of Washington said he is not
too sure Of either the timing nor
the Importance that Mr.. Steven
son gave to Senator Mccarthy
and his Communist-in- Govern
ment charges.
Sees Fiscal Policies as Issue.
Come next fall, when con-
troll OF Congress is decided at
the polls. I think the fiscal
policies the Republicans have
put into effect are going to be
the most important issues" Sen
ator Magnuson said in an inter-
view.
The Washington Senator, a
staunch supporter of Mr.. Steven
sons in the 1852 campaign, said
he believes the country is slid
ing into a business recession and
the Democrats ought to blow
every warning horn they are
able to sound.
Backing this up. Senator Muir
ray, Democrat. of Montana said
in a separate interview he also
feels the Democrats should
stress economic issues and not
pay so much attention to SEN
ator Mccarthy and his charges.
Mr.. StevenSon'S speech here
convinced a large segment of at
tending Democrats that he is
remaining in the active field of
those available for the party
nomination in 1856.
Further Speeches Slated.
Although some Democrats have
contended that Mr.. Stevenson
is merely carrying out his role
as titular head of the party in
an effort to put the Democratic
treasury back in the black,
Stephen A. Mitchell, Democratic
National Chairman, said he is
confident the 1852 nominee will
continue to speak during the
remainder Of this years cam
paign and beyond that period.
Mr.. Mitchell announced that
Mr.. Stevenson will be the princi-
pal speaker at a National Jeffer-
son-Jackson Banquet in Wash
1ngton during two-day meeting,
May 5 and 6. Elsewhere it
was learned that plans are under
way for another regional ap-
pearance for Mr.. Stevenson in
San Francisco in June.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
OF Alabama. the 1852 vice presi-
dental nominee. said in an in
terview he believes Mr.. Steven
son not only will be available but
will be the logical man" for the
1856 nomination.
Several other more cautious
Democrats who didn't want to be
quoted by name said they think
Mr.. Stevenson, is running. A
member Of Mr.. Stevenson's staff
said that if the former Illinois
Governor was not a potential
candidate he. the staff member,
would not be working for him
now.

Questions And Answers
About Income Tax

Why can't The employer with.
hold the exact amount Of taxes
due?
The Withholding tax system is
based on anticipated income and
credit for exemptions.
The present Withholding system
is an attempt to make taxpayine
a 'pay-as-you-go" proposition. The
amount of tax withheld should ap.
proximate the tax liability of the
employee, but excessive withhold
ing can result from many factors
such as part-time or temporary
work, failure to claim all exemp
tons in the withholding certificate
and an unusual amount Of personal
deductions.

was only 20 per cent of the wages

Imminent danger from hurricanes.
The Tallahassee company then

In 1850, the Hunter Lyons InSur-

Dade County, and it proceeded to
find out if any insurance concern
in Key West represented the home
company that was willing to
take the insurance. Lyons learned
that the Key West Insurance Com
Ipany did, so he notified it, and the
insurance was transferred from

your mind ahead of time what you
want to catch and then use the

The guy may be right. Most o.

involved passing money over q
meat counter. The last time ! fish

seemed to me to be a beautiful
