Missing Letter
Stun1ps Probe
On 'Nuzz|ing'
Navy Officers
Paper Vanished
At Marine Post
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

A bizarre twist has been
given the Senate inquiry into
alleged muzzling of military
leaders by the case of the miss
ing letter.
1t first came to light Thurs
day in the unexpected Senate
cutlery over disclosures that
Senate Armed Services Pre-
paredness Subcommittee inves-
tigators had questioned Ma
rines here on their knowledge
of communism.
Senator Thurmond, Demo-
crat of South Carolina, who in
spired the muzzling investiga-
ton, said the letter disappeared
from an investigators briefcase
while visiting the headquarters
of Gen. David M. Shoup, COM
mandant of the Marine Corps.
The letter, from a retired
Navy commander, suggested
leads on the West Coast for
the subcommittee inveStiga-
ton.
Soon after it disappeared,
Senator Thurmond told the
Senate, a copy of the letter
was received by the sender in
a cryptic note from Gen.
Shoup.
Mystery Deepens
The mystery of what hap
pened to the letter deepened, if
anything, with efforts in the
last two days to find out what
occurred.
The Marines had no COM
ment. Nor could Senator Thur
mond'S office throw much ad-
ditional light on the matter.
j. Fred Buzhardt, jr., the
Senator's legislative assistant,
said the letter was never recov-
cred. It was addressed to Mr..
Buzhardt in the first place.
The first that Senator Thur
mond's office knew about the
letter being missing, Mr.. Biz
hardt said, was when he re-
ceived a telephone call from
the sender, P. A. Terry, now
education director for the Cop
ley newspapers.
1--WE were very much con-
cerned about it," Mr.. Buzhardt
said, because it contained the
names Of individuals who are
still in the service"
Senate Told of Letter
Senator Thurmand told the
Senate of the missing letter to
explain a reference in a memo
randum, which he made public,
from Charles A. Byrne, an in
veStigator who questioned the
Marines.
The memorandum said Ben
jamin Kaplan, then on Senator
Thurmand's staff, accompa-
MED him to make the survey
only because of IAN incident"
on a prior visit to Gen. Shoup's
headquarters.
That visit, Senator Thur
mond said, was made by G. E.
Hartel, a subcommittee staff
member and another investi-
gator. when one of them
turned his head" the Senator
said, somebody there opened
his briefcase and removed a
paper from it :"

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (AP).
Senator Clifford P. Case, Re-
publican, New Jersey, said to-
day some "super patriots" and
extreme rightwingers are at
tempting Ito take over, in whole
or part, one or both of our
parties"
Senator Case, who is gen.
orally regarded as a liberal,
said his recent mail indicated
a real danger" to this Ma
tion's future progress if views
and proposals of the extrem-
lists are widely accepted.
ITO many Of them the Re-
publican Party is a tempting
target and there are a few Re-
publicans who may be
tempted" Senator Case said
in a speech prepared for de-
livery before the annual meet
ing Of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai Birth.
He added:
But I am certain that most
Republicans are agreed that
to permit the party to be in
Inundated or seduced by the

mistake.
1T would threaten the USE

tain glee the attempt to make

the image Of the Birch Society" ="
But these Democrats should
not "be pleased by the prospect
of any alliance between the seq
regationiSts and the political
economic extremists in their
own heartland of the South, ="
he said.

publicans should remember,
Senator Case continued, that

'62 Election Outlook Bleak,
But G. O. P. Keeps Chin Up

Igressional campaign committees
this year.
The shortage of cash has kept
Mr.. Miller from carrying out
some Of his plans for strength
ening the campaign staff of the
national committee. Economies
in operation trimmed the COM
mittee staff from 103 members
to Sc last year. Now the chair
man wants to expand his politi-
cal organization division. He
lacks the money to do it.
See 1862 Election Gains
The organization problems at
the national level, however, are
minute compared to those fac
ing the party in the big cities.
A year-long study presented to
the committee on Friday de-
tailed the party's appalling lack
of professional workers in the
cities where Democrats have
been piling up the majorities
that have given them the con-
troll of the presidency, Congress
and two thirds of the governor
ships.
Republicans are not despair
ing of making gains in the 1862
elections. They are cheered by
reports of unusually large
numbers of prospective candi-
dates entering G. o. P. pri-
maries.
They calculate that the re-
apportionment of the House
worked slightly in their favor.
They expect that the normal
off-year trend against the
party in power will also become
evident as time passes.
However, in private CONVEX
sations, a number of the COM
mittee members expressed skep-
ticism that the G. o. P. can
achieve it's main 1862 goal of
regaining control Of the House.
To do so. it would have to
win A additional seats. They
do not see where that many
switches will occur.
What the Republicans mainly
achieved here at Oklahoma
City was a candid appraisal of
their present far-from-roSy sit
uation. Now the national
leaders can only hope that as
the committee members return
to their States they will do
something to improve it.

ture outside the Hotel Skirvin
as they surveyed the outlook
for this November's elections.
They let off some emotional
steam this afternoon as their
sentimental favorite, Senator
Goldwater Of Arizona, climaxed
a plea for party unity with a
declaration that "a solid pha-
lanx of Republicans can drive
out Of Washington those who
are making a mockery of our
Constitution"
But the cheers that greeted
Senator Goldwater we're among
the few outburSts during a
meeting that was designed, In
part, to spark the Oklahoma
G. o. P.'s drive to elect its par
ty chairman, Henry Bellmon, as
the first Republican governor
Of the State.
For the most part, this meet
ing was marked by a sober, un-
exciting, almost grim determi-
nation to look the facts of the
bleak Republican situation in
the eye.
The mood contrasted sharply
with that of the committees
two 1861 meetings in Washing
ton.
Just after President Ken
nedy's victory, the Republicans
were hopping mad at the DEM
ocrats for knocking them out
Of the White House in what
many of them regarded as a
fraudulent election. They were
full Of plans for revenge.
Last June, just after the Gu
ban fiasco, Republicans gath
cred in the National Guard
Armory and gave an explosive
welcome to the newly elected
G. o. P. Senator from Texas,
John Tower. and heard Gen.
Eisenhower deliver a blistering
attack on the Democrats do
meStic policies.
At that point, with their
twice-victorious former Presi-
dent leading the way and even
Texas falling into line, the
road back to victory seemed
short.
Today, it looks a lot longer.
Senator Towers triumph turned
out to be the only big Republi-
can win of the year. When Gen.
Eisenhower tried to charm the
voters of New Jersey, New York
City and San Antonio into sup
porting G.. o. P. candidates, it
didn't work.
The effect Of those setbacks,
as evidenced here, has been a
dampening Of Republican op-
timiSm the bleaker mood has
been reinforced by public opin-
ion polls showing the Kennedy

day by Republican leaders, but
he said the G. O. P. is not spot
less either.
MY friends, If it is fair to
claim that the Democrat Party
is schizoid, torn by internal
diSsenSion, struggling to find
a middle way between the ex-
tremes Of Hubert Humphrey
and Harry Byrd, it is also fair
to say the Republican Party has
failed to present to this Nation
a solid political organization
unequivocally committed to an
easily definable political phi
loSophy," he said.
He said conservatives are for
progress and more of this has
been made under conservative
Presidents than any others. He
said conservatives are for less
but better Government.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

administration and the Demo
cratic Party, which won such
a narrow victory in 1860, now
stands considerably higher in
public esteem.
One sign Of the drop in
G. o. P. morale was the change
in the rhetoric of this meetings
main speeches. A year ago the
talks centered on the achieve
ments of the Eisenhower era
and the promise which the fu-
ture Republican victory held
for the country. Now they focus
on warnings Of the disas-
trous consequences of con-
tinued Democratic rule.
Financial Troubles
Another symptom of the
shift in mood was the remark
able absence of any politicking
for the 1864 presidential nomi-
nation. If there were any plots
being hatched here for Senator
Goldwater, Gov. Nelson A,
Rockefeller of New York or
anyone else. they escaped the
notice Of reporters.
The official line was: Con-
centrate on 1862 because If we
don't do well in 1862, the 1864
nomination will be worthless,
The evidence laid out to COM
mittee members here was that
the party faces serious prob
lens in financing and organiz-
ing even its 1862 effort.
Last year the Republican Ma
tional Committee received Just
over half the So million it had
