' . MILWAUKEE, March 19 (EP)—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis)
charged tonight that Adlai Stevenson, "spokesmen and defense law
yer for the Democratic party used the officially approved and pub
lihed Communist method of attacking McCarthy and the Re
publican party."
In 'a speech prepared for delivery at a dinner meeting of 400
Young Republicans of Milwaukee,
the controversial Wisconsin sena
tor said he would "place before
the American people an indict
ment of 20 counts" against the
Democrats which he said consti
tuted "criminal stupidity—or at
worst, treason."
Sen. McCarthy's speech was in
answer to one that Stevenson,
Democratic nominee for president
in 1952, delivered in Miami March
8. In the address Stevenson lashed
lout at McCarthy and charged that
the Republican party was "di
vided against itself, half McCarthy
I and half Eisenhower,"
McCarthy claimed that Steven
son's meaning in his Miami ad
dress is the same as that taken
from the main report delivered
at the national conference of the
Communist party, U.S.A. in Sept.
1953.
He quoted from passages in the
Communist report ..which stated
that "The struggle against MC- 1
Carthyism is objectively a strug
gle against the policies of the Re-1
publican, organization."
Then he asked:
"Does that sound familiar?"
"Did you hear it over the air
the other night from the Demo
cratic rally which was addressed
by Adlai in Florida?
"No, you are wrong, you did
not. While the meaning is the
same this is not the exact lan
guage used by Adlai. This is a
verbatim quote from a report de
livered at the national conference
of the Communist party."
In outlining what he said were
"20 years of treason-20 years of
betrayal," McCarthy r e p ea t e d
several charges he had made pre
viously against the Democrats.

Probe of
H-Blast
Underway
WASHINGTON, March 19 M
A congressional investigation of
the immense hydrogen explosion
in the Pacific March 1 has been
started to determine whether ade
quate security and safety precau
tions were taken in the area.
Rep. Sterling Cole CR-N.Y.),
chairman of the Senate-House
Atomic Energy Committee, dis
closed today his group already has
begun to question members of
the Atomic Energy Commission
behind closed doors.
Cole said the committee wanted
to find out whether any avoidable
errors were made by the task
force of scientists and military
men in charge of the historic test
blast.
The nature of the testimony, he
added, will determine how much
information will be made public
later. A cloak of secrecy surrounds
most of the AEC's research work.
Two members of the joint con
gressional committee, Reps. Mel
vin Price (D-Ill.) and James E.
Van Zandt (R-Pa.) called yester
day for a full scale probe to learn,
among other things, why 315 per
sons were permitted close enough
to the blast area to be exposed to
radiation.
Twenty-three Japanese fisher
men, 80 miles away and just out
side the official hazard zone, were
burhed in a shower of nuclear
ashes. Twenty-eight American
technicians and 264 natives on is
lands more than 100 miles away
from the flashpoint were exposed
to milder radiation.
Unemployment Rises
WASHINGTON, March 19 (W)—
The Labor Department reported
today that unemployment, which
was largely confined to a few
selected industries in early win
ter, is still rising in March. and
spreading to a wide range of in
dustries.
Abraham Lincoln has had more
written about him than any other
man in the history of the United
States.

Senate Group Votes
Excise Tax Slash
WASHINGTON, March 19 (M—Despite an administration plea
that "We need the money to pay our bills," the Senate Finance
Committee voted today to slash excise taxes by about $962 million.
This cut would be $5O million greater than the $912 million reduction
already voted by the House.
Most of the extra cut would be
achieved by wiping out all admis
sion taxes on movie tickets cost
ing less than 60 cents. The House
had cut the tax on these and other
entertainment admissions from 20
to 10 per cent, but had refused to
make the lower-priced tickets
completely tax-exempt, as the
Senate group did.
The committee action dampened

WASHINGTON, March 19 (JP)
—The Senate Finance Commit

The tax is now 20 per cent.
A bill passed by, the House

cratic-sponsored income tax cuts.
The administration had asked the
senators to restore nearly all of
the $912 million excise tax cuts
voted by the House.
The "we need the money" plea
was laid before the committee
Wednesday by Secretary of the
Treasury George M. Humphrey,
who is trying to cope with an ex
pected deficit of $2.9 billion for
the fiscal year starting July 1.
Today's Finance Committee ac
tion, if finally approved, would
add nearly a billion dollars to
that red ink forecast.
Many lawmakers believed, how
ever, the administration was not
putting up an all-out fight against
excise cuts. Republican leaders
were concentrating their efforts
on blocking Democratic drives for
an ,income tax cut that would
drain off $2.4 billion or more
from annual collections.

Dulles Defends
Military Power
For President
WASHINGTON, March 19 (iP)—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles said today President
Dwight D. Eisenhower has "dis
cretionary power" to order in
stant retaliation - against surprise
enemy attacks on North Atlantic
or Latin-American allies.
Dulles said the President could
act without consulting Congress in
advance if he "deemed the attack
was a forerunner of an attack on
the United States."
The secretary outlined this view
in a three-hour question-and-an
swer session before the Senate
foreign relations committee which
reviewed the Eisenhower admin
istration's "new look" defense
policy.
In speaking of the President's
powers. Dulles appeared to back
away somewhat from sweeping
remarks he made Tuesday at a
news conference.
At that time Dulles contended
that the 14-nation North Atlantic
pact and the 21-country inter-
American defense treaty gave the
President "a right" to counter
attack without advance congres
sional approval when a member
country was hit by surprise.
Dulles told senators today these
treaties gave the President no
special rights but that under the
Constitution "the President has
the right to do what he believes
is in the interests of the United
States."
"The extent has to be a matter
of his own judgment," he said.
The motto of Pennsylvania is
"Virtue, Liberty, and Indepen
dence."
