New Charges
By^McCarthy
Against Jessup
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27—(>T>j—
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.)
brought sworn charges today
against Ambassador - at - Large
Philip C. Jessup, accusing him of
having been connected. with six
Communist front organizations.
The charges immediately drew
sharp demands for proof by some
members of a Senate Foreign Re
lations subcommittee consider
ing Jessup’s renomination as a
U.N. delegate.
With Jessup in the audience,
McCarthy testified for two hours
under oath in support of his con
tention the Senate should refuse
to confirm the diplomat’s nomi
nation. Jessup has. served before
as U.N. delegate.
The Wisconsin Senator brought
a 28-page brief of material re

ile, on a proposal by Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway that the armistice
talks be resumed six miles south
east of Kaesong, near the village
of Songhyon. The first order of
business, he said, should be de
marcation of a buffer zone as a
preliminary to a cease-fire.
Ridgway’s' public information
office issued the statement say
ing the Reds may be trying to
force the Allies to en 4 the talks
“out of sheer frustration and fu
tility.” The Reds suspended the
truce' talks Aug. 23 and have
bickered constantly with th& Al
lied command ever since over
alleged neutrality-zone violations.
.Communist liaison officers,
meeting-with Allied liaison men
at Kaesong this week, refused to
discuss anything but a time and
date for resuming the talks.
The; Allies have contended that
Kaesong is unsuitable as a site
for the talks because it is so near
the battlelines.

To Force Recess
HARRISBURG, Sept. 27—(P) —The £>enate, bogged down' again
on taxes, today threatened “no business” sessions next week to en
force its demand for a recess of the General Assembly until Dec. 10.

George VI t o.d ay appointed a
council of state, including his
queen and his daughters, to act

The announcement from Buck

after Princess Elizabeth and the
Duke of Edinburgh decided to go

starting from Quebec Oct. 9.

lating to Jessup’s record. It was
bound in a deep pink cover.
He repeated charges today that
Jessup has “an. unusual affinity
for Communist causes.” He said
the six organizations with which
he claimed Jessup was associated
had officially been declared Com
munist fronts and were “doing
the work of the Communist
party.”
Jessup, who has repeatedly de
nied McCarthy’s contentions, told
reporters during a brief recess he
was not worried about the Sena
tor’s charges against him.
Senate
Votes on
Exemptions
WASHINGTON, Sept 27—(P)—
The Senate today overwhelmingly
approved legislation to knock out
tax exemptions enjoyed by the
President, Vice President, and
members of Congress—and thus
to cut their pay—beginning, in
1953.
The measure, if approved by
the House, will eliminate exemp
tions on expense accounts allowed
these officials.
The effective date would be
Jan. 3, 1953. This would involve
the last 17 days of the terms for
President Truman and Vice Pres
ident Barkley, but would not
affect the present 82nd Congress,
The vote was 77-11. The mea
sure was in the form of an amend
ment to the Senate’s bill to in
crease taxes an estimated $5,506,-
000,000 a year, on which the Sen
ate opened its eighth day of de
bate today.
Senator Williams (R-Del.),
sponsor of the successful amend
ment, expressed belief that top
governmental officials should
give up these tax-free allowances
when Congress is preparing leg
islation to tax everyone “until
it hurts.”
But the Republican leadership
of the House stood pat in its posi
tion that both branches should
kep in session until the long
deadlock over taxes is settled.
The Senate, a vote on the dis
puted income tax put off inde
finitely, renewed the move for
another long recess by making it
effective at the end of next week’s
session.
That resolution went to the
House, which last night rejected
the Senate’s proposal to declare
the recess at the end of this
week’s session. The latest move
met a cool reception also.
The Governor declined to be
come involved in the Senate-
House feud over the- recess. He
told a reporter in answer to a
question:
“I am leaving matters up to the
respective branches of the legis
lature.”
Senate Republicans began man
euvering for the recess last night
when they put off a vote on the
one-half of one per cent income
levy through lack of support to
pass it.
