| Counsel does not, however, UNI
derstand the argument that inn
partially becomes less neces-
sary or desirable simply in yir-
tue of the committee having de
clared itself a fact finding
body" SIN the realm of the law,
juries are ''fact finding" bodies.
It is generally felt That juries
ought to be impartial. Counsel
believes that the rule with re-
spect to juries is apt here. The
chair has insisted many times
that these proceedings are to be
judicial in nature. It follows
that as fact finders" the COM
mittee will perform by analogy
the juries' function.
Agrees ON Hypothetical Case.
With respect to the second
point, counsel agrees that in
the hypothetical case, it may be
impossible to select an impartial
committee. It Is also conceiy-
able that in a criminal trial it
would be impossible to find inn
partial jurors. In SUCH a case
the court would have to proceed,
as the chair suggests the Senate
would have to proceed, with a
prejudiced jury. But surely this
is not a desirable situation and
1t ought to be avoided whenever
possible.
The hypothetical case posed
by the chair is not this case,
unless the argument is that the
Senate does not contain six i'm
partial members. Counsel's in
depreciation of the debate on
the Senate floor relating to the
resolution and of the remarks
of the President of the Senate
when he selected the committee
is Ia that the committee should
be an impartial one, and (b)
that it would be possible to find
such a committee. This, it is
submitted, was also the public's
Interpretation. Consequently,
counsel feels that his position
is consistent with the spirit in
which these proceedings were
initiated.
Counsel feels sure that the
chair would be more sympathetic
to his position if the members of
the committee about whom
counsel is concerned were, say.
Senator Flanders or Senator
Fullbrighks Counsel is not ar
guing that Senator Johnson's
position is similar to that Of the
above mentioned Senator's, but
only that the possible principle
applicable to one case is equally
applicable to the present.
The foregoing leads counsel
for Senator Mccarthy to re-
Spectfullyss dissent from the
chairs third point.
Challenges COgnizance Stand.
With respect to the fourth
point counsel does not chal-
lenge the chairs position that
the committee Isl without power
to remove q member. But in
counsel ii opinion it does not fol-
| low that the committee may not
| take official cognizance of this
matter persuant to its an
! intention Of submitting to the
/ Senate al the facts that may
/ help the Senate arrive at a fair
decision In this case.
| 1t may be. as the chair sug-
! gests, that the committee does
! not have authority even to en-
| terrain 4 challenge. But in
counsel's Judgment it certainly
has authority to take judicial
notice Of an official protest by
Senator Mccarthy as to the
qualifications of one Of its MEM
bers-if such protest should be
Forthcoming. # this is so. it
seems To- counsel that Senator
| Mccarthy is entitled to infor-
nation That is prerequisite to

especially with their anti-fiy
campaign"
He. said China was the one
Asian country where he saw no
flies ins the market place.
Mr.. Attlee said China's Red
leaders face an immense task
and, In contrast TO the Russians,
they make no pretense about It..
They admit they have q
great deal to do yet and that
there, are many shortcomings"
he said. I'm Russia they tell you
the whole world is inferior to
Russia and things Russian are
the best. I heard no such boast
ing In China"
Work in public housing and
education impressed Mr.. Attlee,
especially efforts made to edu-
cate the peasants. But he said
he was disturbed by the enor-
nous pressure of Red China'S
vast population. on her limited
land and resources.
1.-THE (Chinese) government
feels that an increase in this
already heavy population is a
good thing" he said. II think
they are heading toward an even
more crushing problem than
they have now"
He said the present disastrous
floods sweeping Red China were
a sample Of the great tasks
ahead.
He said he saw some repre-
sensations of the church move
ment in Red China. but had
formed no opinion beyond the
opinion that antipathy to for
eign missionaries was more ma
tionalistic than connmunistic.
Communist feeling about the
Nationalist Chinese bastion Of
Formosa is strong. Mr.. Atlee
said.
He said that when Red China's
leaders discussed FormoSa, they
dropped their talk of peace. He
added he had found nobody in
Red China who advocated a
peaceful settlement of the For
mosa question-unless it be a
peaceful surrender by Chang
Kai-shek's forces.
Mr.. Atlee said he personally
felt Formosa should somehow
be neutralized.
He said he did not specifically
take up the question of Ameri-
can prisoners in China. but that
in a general discussion he had
argued that 1t was a mistake to
hold people against their will.
He said since his group was
not a trade mission, 1t did not
discuss trade matters in detail.
But he said he gathered that the
Reds want to trade with the
West.
Leaning Heavily ON Moscow.
Mr.. Attlee said he saw evidence
that:
l. Peiping still leans heavily
on Moscow for supplies-al-
though he saw mo overt ex-
amples of Russian influence in
side China"
2. Freedom Of thought and
speech are restricted.
8. The trade union movement
is an instrument of the Commu-
mist government.
Mr.. Attlee said his talks with
the Chinese were frank and
pleasant.
Il believe we should get as
close a contact as possible be-
tween East and West" he said.
81 found a desire for more friend
ship"
Mr.. Attlee said it was any
body's guess" why Peiping au-
thorities had invited his group
to China. Probably to try to
improve relations" he added.

Justice Still Studying
Testimony Conflicts
In Mccarthy Hearing
By Cecil Hollond

Conflicts and contradictions
In sworn testimony during the

"still under consideration" for
possible perjury action. q Justice

day.
The ofiicial said no indication
could be given as to when the

mittee that explored the con-
troversy in SO days Of televised

ports on their findings and con-
illusions. cited the conflicts and
contradictions In the testimony.
They agreed that it was up to
the Justice Department to de-
termine whether perjury had
been committed.
Received Transcripts.
The Justice Department has
received transcripts Of all the
testimony given in the hearings.
This was ordered during the
hearings on the motion OF Sen
ator Mcclellan of Arkansas, SEN
Tor Democratic member Of the
investigating committee.
In the majority report on the
investigation, the Republican
committee members said:
Testimony on both sides OF

pletely contradictory with the
testimony of other witnesses.
the question Of whether
serious contradictions which &C.
cur in the testimony are evidence
of willful perjury or grew out Of
errors of recollections and fall
ing memories are matters to be
determined by the Department
of Justice rather than by this

Minority Agrees.
Similarly, the minority report
by Democratic members OF the
subcommittee called attention to
the contradictions, and added:
Perjury may have been COM
mitted. It is not our RESPONSE

findings that such is or is not the
case. That is the duty and re-
sponsibility of the Department

Senator Potter, Republican. Of
Michigan. in his individual views
submitted as an addition to the
majority report he signed. also
said the Justice Department
should determine "the question
of perjury or subornation Of per-

controversy was saturated with
untruthful statements" and
should be investigated by 81

many permanently defenseless
and occupied are based on pro-
found illusions.
8 It is felt by some observers,
however. that in making these
points at this time the Germans
may be seriously overplaying
their hand.
France on Legal Ground.
& Certainly French deputies in
turning down EDO have severely
tried the patience and friend
ship of the great. Western pow
ers. But when it comes to the
real question-to Frances ability
to block the goals to which Ger
mans aspireAthe French from
purely legal point of view at least
are on quite solid ground.
On three major aims contained
In the German Statement-re-
storation of sovereignty, German
rearmament and the status of
occupation troops French
aggree m mt is indispensable.
France, after all, is San occupy
ing power. Should other allies
try to put such measures into
effect over a French veto they
would first have to denounce
formal agreements with France.
The result might also lead to
further ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Ger
many to say nothing of the eff
feet on Franco German rela-
tions
1t is felt. furthermore, that the
German government may be
relying somewhat too heavily on
the solidarity with other EDO
powers displayed during the
Brussels conference. Ganging up
on France to get EDO ratified
was one thing. But there is no
assurance whatever that Bel
gium, Holland and Italy would
be willing to consider indignation
of their military forces with
Germany If France was left out.
Aimed at Home Consumption.
In the light Of these objections
1t seems probable that the Ger
man statement was designed for
home consumption rather than
as a realistic statement of a new
German course. Admittedly
Chancellor Adenauer's own poll
tical problem since the French
rejection of EDO is great. He
may well consider It necessary
for him to identify himself with
the wave of anti-French feeling
and resurgent nationalism that
can be expected to sweep his
country. If the Chancellor is
personally embittered by what
has happened it would be per-
fectly understandable.
But in broader perspective
there is the danger that such ex-
IRENE German demands may
make the goals harder to achieve
than they are now. Although
French reaction is meager so
far, it cannot be expected to be
sympathetic and the French gov
eminent committed to an early
effort to restore German SOW
ereignty faces tougher oppose
ton than it might have met
otherwise.
Above all the German state.
ment seems to ignore complete
" the central problem that
faces the Western alliance. That
problem is to find some means
for cooperation between Ger
many and France without which
Ill talk Of Western unity and
all possibility Of military defense
of Western Europe is nonsense
And this problem has not dis
appeared with the rejection Of
EDO.
