BY the Assoeioisd Press

PARIS, April THE French
Senate today voted down q de.
mand by edo opponents for
priority to a debate on Marshal
Alphonse JUN. Frances No. l
soldier and currently the ma
tons most controversial figure.
Meanwhile Marshal JUN still
had not turned in his resigna-
ton as commander of allied
forces in Central Europe-24
hours after getting a severe rep
rimand from the North Atlantic
Council.
The council rebuked JUN for
his criticisms of the European
Defense Community treaty, and
spokesman said the reprimand
was strong enough to provoke
him into reSigning.
While Marshal JUN remained
at his NATO command head
quarters in Fontainebleau. anti
EDO Senators called on the gov
eminent to give priority over all
other subjects to a debate on
Marshal JUN and his status as a
NATO commander. The Senate
voted down the demand 177-114.
Voting for priority debate were
the Communists, De GaulliSt2
and some anti-EDC moderates.

Benton Seeks Those
Backing His Charges
Against Mccarthy
BY the Assoeiosed Pres.

NEW YORK. April r. Full
page newspaper advertisements
last night urged a Nation wide
campaign to get signatures of
"believers"-people who believe
that charges made against Sem
ator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin are too serious to be
ignored.
The move grew out Of Senator
McCarthy's action in dropping a
So million libel suit against
former Senator William Benton,
Democrat, of Connecticut. Sen
ator Mccarthy has said he
dropped the suit because he
couldn't find any one who be-
lieyed Mr.. Benton's charges and
that therefore he had not been
damaged.
Mr.. Benton said earlier yester-
day he had received voluntary
offers from about 1000 persons
willing to testify they believed
Mr.. Benton's charges.

The advertisement, headed
Wanted: Believers" contained
a coupon to be returned by news

believe that former. Senator Ben

The advertisement also listed
SO initial signers. including the

Mr.. Hicks is an executive of

By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 7.-Senator
Mccarthy. Republican, of Wis
conSin says research on Amer
icaS hydrogen bomb was DELHI
erately stalled for Is months in
the face of reports that Russia
was "feverishly" pushing a SIM
liar project.
IF there were no Communists
in our Government, why did we
delay?" Senator Mccarthy asked
last night in telecast billed as
"a reply to criticism of the SEN
ator by CHS Commentator Ed
ward R. Murrow.
The H-bomb reference was in
terjected into an attack in which
Senator Mccarthy termed Mr..
Murrow "the leader and the
cleverest of the jackal pack
which is always found at the
throat of any one who dares to
expose Communists and traitors"
who caused it?" Senator Nc
earthly demanded of the alleged
H-bomb delay. WAS it loyal
Americans or was it traitors in
our Government? Our nation
may well die because of that 49,
month deliberate delay"
No Delay, Truman Says.
Former President Truman said
today in Kansas City there was
mo delay" in development of
the hydrogen bomb.
THE order was issued as soon
as the scientists were ready to go
to work." he said. II got an ap-
preparation of 81 billion to pro-
coed with it,"
1T took two years after the
British had turned their atomic
efforts over to us before we
could produce the A-bomb. It
took about as long to get the
hydrogen bomb ready"
Senator McCarthy's statement
was called absolutely ridiculous"
by Representative Price, Demo-
crat, of Illinois, a member of the
Joint Congressional Atomic En-
ergy Committee.
HE doesn't know what he's
talking about" Mr.. Price said in
Washington. "He showed COM
plete ignorance"
Mr.. Price added that there
may have been some delay in
getting the H-bomb project
started, but certainly not for
the reasons" Senator Mccarthy
indicated.
Representative Cole. Republi-
can, of New York, chairman of /
the joint Committee, said this
country took "a long time" on
the decision to go ahead with the
hydrogen bomb.
But that does not mean there
was anything sinister neces-
sarily," he added.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion declined to comment.
Replies to MurrOw.
The H-bomb statement was a
by-product of Senator Nc
Carthy's reply to charges by Mr..
Murrow that he has abused his
authority as a Senate investi-
gator.
Mr.. Murrow attacked Senator
Mccarthy on March 9. He Of
fered to turn his Commute See

ator in order that he might re-
ply. The answer was filmed over
the week end and telecast while
Senator Mccarthy was in Ari-
iona.

phrase as he read from pre-

Senator Mccarthy has said
he knew of no Communist sup
port for him.)
The Columbia Broadcasting
System issued an advance state
ment praising Mr.. Murrow for
his passionate devotion to his
country and to the fundamental
principles upon which it was
built :"
The network said that its most

While Senator Mccarthy was
given free air time to answer Mr.,
Murrow, he apparently will get
a $4,000 bill because he did it
on film.
The commentator said there
had been no request that CHS
pay the fee for making the
movie. He added that he Ger
tainly would not pay for it per-
sonally." =
Fox Movietone News, which
filmed the reply, said that as
far as it was concerned Senator
Mccarthy would be billed as just
another customer.
The film was left in the GUS
tody of Ray Kiermas, a Nc
earthly aide. after being pre-
pared over the week end. It's
contents were kept secret until
a preview only two hours before
air time. A CHS spokesman
said it was not actually turned
over to the network until 1915
IA minutes before it went on the
air.
The preview of the film was
witnessed by Mr.. Kiermas, a
CHS attorney and third party,
identified as a neutral libel ex-
pert. This fulfilled a legal re-
quirement that CHS examine
matter which is to be telecast
as a guard against objectional
matter.
A CHS spokesman said that "a
few names and one brief state
ment" were cut out of the film
before it was aired. It was add
ed, however. that the action was
taken with full consent of Sen
ator McCarthy's representative.
The, nature of the few names

disclosed.
