Joe Mccarthy in His New Role
He Just Can't Quite Understand What the Fuss Is All Abou
It's Long Way From BuIdozinq to Injured innocence

prefers its own investigation
Of Mccarthy and the Army.
In fact, the subcommittee
is beginning to feel that 1t
is being made ridiculous and
it is not amused. Democrats
are firmly organized under the
leadership of their ranking
member, Senator Mcclellan Of
Arkansas. among whose many
virtues a bubbling good ma
ture was never conspicuous.
Senator Mcclellan has ar
ranged with the party leader
ship that unless and until he
is fully informed and agree
able, none Of the customary
requests for unanimous con-
sent to the subcommittee
meeting shall be honored. It
is hoped that all three Demo-
cratic members can always
be present.
Mcclellan, an experienced
public prosecutor, feels his re-
sponsibility the more heavily
since it is proving so difficult
to obtain counsel for the Nc
Carthy- Army case. The Amer
ican Bar Association gave an
open hint Of what may be
expected in the way Of con-
flict since it declined to make
it possible for its president to
serve.
It's action came as rather
a shock to the Senate, which
perhaps until then had not
realized how its own timidity
in dealing with its most will
full member had contaminated
the public scene.

ting nowhere. Flexible price
supports. urged by the admin
istration to supplant the
present rigid parity program,
have met much Republican as
well as Democratic opposition.
Election day seems likely to
dawn with the Democratic
program still in effect.
Labor legislation isn't NOV
ing. House and Senate COM
mittees are both considering
amendments to the Taft
Hartley Act that in the opinion
of labor leaders would make
the law rougher on labor
than they consider it now to
be. Many supporters of Taft
Hartley are willing to leave
good-or bad-enough alone
and that is what may happen.
Tax legislation, forced
through the House under ter
rifle party pressure, with the
White House for once not
sparing its efforts. is in dubious
position in the Senate. Demo-
cratic amendments. particu-
larly concerning income tax
exemptions, admittedly have
great political appeal. The
House may eventually get the
bill back-after the longest
Senate debate of this session
and then We'll see something.
Probably not the administra->
ton bill.
One other failure to date can
be mentioned. The Democratic
Party hasn't yet been con-
victed Of twenty years Of
treason"

Still More Left-WingI Victories
President Accused Of Yielding to Influence and Using
His Press Conferences to Wor Upon McCorthy

ing the President on to come
out into the open against
the. Wisconsin Senator-are
clumsy, however. in their tao
tics. Thus the reporters were
authorized to quote the Presi-
dent directly when he said on
Wednesday that he doesn't
think q Senator should sit In
Judgment on his own case in
the Senate. but the White
House failed, in fairness to the
Wisconsin Senator. to point
out in its authorized state
ment that he had already an
nounced several days before
that he didn't intend to vote
on the issues before his COM
mittee.
The mixup in handling the
report prepared by the Office
of the Secretary of the Army
on the dispute between legal
counsel John G. Adams at the
Pentagon and the staff Of the
Mccarthy committee is an
other example Of lack Of team
play. This correspondent said
earlier this week that IA Dem
ocrats and one Republican
had clandestinely received this
report from the Pentagon in
advance Of the chairman Of
the committee. This was not
correct so far as the Demo-
Gratis were concerned. The
facts are these:
/. Only one Republican
Senator Potter of Michigan
received the report ahead Of
his colleagues in the Senate.
and that was one day in ad-
vance-namely. on Wednes-
day, March 10.
2. Senator Mccarthy had
lunched that day with Sec
retary of Defense Wilson, who
mentioned that Senator Pot.
ter had the report. The Wis
consin Senator promptly went
to Senator Potter and asked to
see it. He was permitted to
read it.
3. Senator Mccarthy then
phoned Assistant Secretary Of
Defense Fred Seaton that the
document was one-sided and
that he had in his files a lot
of data on the other side and
that he thought the memo
randa he had should be con-
sidered in the interest Of fair
play before anything was
published. Mr.. Seaton Is re-
ported to have replied that
the matter had gone beyond
his hands. The report was
leaked to the press the next

tiers of major international
politics are involved. In Great
Britain such matters are sell
dom-if ever-made the foot
ball of domestic politics.
Our Secretary of State may
be miscalculating the mood
of our Western allies. however.
The French government un-
questionably is grateful for
the unstinted help We are
giving France in Indo- China.
But it is questionable that the
French people and their repre-
SentativeS in the National As
sembly share this sentiment.
The French are sick and fed
up with the military campaign
in a faraway colony which will
be a dividend bearer no longer.
1ndo-China's strategic impor-
tance is of little concern to
a nation principally occupied
with maintaining its hold on
the remaining North African
protectorateS and still fearing
its German neighbor more
than any other potential ene-.
my. It is unlikely that the
French, whose interests in
Asia have almost reached the
zero point, will oppose a Red
demand to discuss Indo- China
with the men from Peiping
sitting in as equals.
Nor is it likely that Britains
present mellow mood toward
the United States will affect
its policies toward Peiping;
which the London Government
recognized more than four
years ago. The government
and the majority of the peo-
pie in Great Britain consider
our present Asiatic policies
unrealistic. They are inter-
ested these days mainly in the
East West trade potential and
will gladly exchange the ac-
ceptance of Red China in the
fold of the great powers for a
juicy trade agreement.

day Thursday at about the
same time copies were received
by most Of the Senators.
4. Senator Mcclellan Of Ar
kansas, Democrat, phoned the
Defense Department early on
Thursday. March IL, saying
he had heard Of the report
and that, since he originally
had made some inquiries on
the subject himself. he felt he
should have a copy of 1t. He
told this correspondent on
Tuesday Of this week that the
Defense Department had re-
piled to him that he should
have received it the day be-
fore - Wednesday, March 10.
But he didn't. On Thursday,
March IL, several copies Of the
report dated the same day
were sent to Democrats and
Republicans alike on Capitol
Hill. and on Friday to several
more members of Congress.
The document had been mime
ographed for wide distribution
in disregard Of the fact that
the matter concerned prima-
rily the chairman Of a Senate
committee to whom the report
should have gone in the first
place-that Is. If regular pro-
cedure were followed.
just why Senator Potter
was given the report in ad-
vance of all other Senators
was not explained to the
chairman Of the subcommit-
tee, Senator Mccarthy. The
Mccarthy people are saying
that since Lewis Berry. one Of
Senator Potter's campaign
managers, was given. at the
request of Mr.. Potter, the post
of assistant to John G. Adams,
legal counsel of the Army,
early in January at q salary
Of $4,000 a year. the Michi-
gan Senator has become q
partisan Of the office of the
Secretary Of the Army in the
course Of the inquiry on Army
affairs and an opponent Of
the chairman Of the Senate
subcomr1ittee of which Ne is
a mem Ier. Senator Potter's
friends deny it.
But this is the kind Of thing
that one hears on Capitol

Republicans quarrel and
bicker. the left wing" rides

ultimate goal-the squelching

City Bans Stores. Offer

ent of licenses and permits for

Mr.. Nottingham said the Regal
Credit Clothing store at til Sew

he informed owners they had no

withdrawn.
Pat Regal of the store said:

The one other notable mega
tive achievement of this Con-
gress, of course, has been the
defeat of the Bricker amend
ment, designed to tie the
hands of the President in his
handling of foreign policy.
The time devoted to this
achievement accounts to some
extent for the lack of any
positive legislative accom-
plishments. Incidentally, it
isn't certain that the issue
won't be raised again in a
somewhat different form and
so take up some more Of the
Senate's precious time.
The list of things the Con-
gress has failed to do is much
longer than the list It has re-
fused to do. Included are
many matters that were part
OF the dynamic progressive

dent and believed by him to

Senate Negative Record Grows
