Case, McCarthy Tangle
In Senate Censure Debate
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 M—A member of the Watkins
committee, which has been accused by Sen. Joseph R. Mc
carthy of being a tool of Communists, hit back today with
a declaration that senators doing their duty should not be
subjected to "personal abuse."
Sen. Francis Case (R.-S.D.), a member of the committee
which recommended censure , of
McCarthy, spoke out near the end
of th., Senate's first day of de
bate on the hotly controversial
censure question. ,
The day also saw McCarthy (R.-
Wis.) swap accusations with Sen.
Arthur V. Watkins (R.-Utah),
committee chairman. McCarthy
accused Watkins of twisting facts
and the Utah legislator countered
with a charge that McCarthy has
violated his _obligation—if not his
oath—as a senator.
Names Charges
Loyalty Check
Nears Finish;
9,500 Cleared
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (iP)—
The Eisenhower administration
has virtually completed a sweep
ing new loyalty and security
check of the State Department's
10,600 employes.
Informed officials reported to
day that 90 per cent of the total,
about 9,500, have been cleared and
found to be good security risks.
Investigations of ,the remaining
10 per cent are nearly over with
prospects their cases will be com
pleted by the end of the year.
R. Scott McLeod, the depart
ment's controversial security chief,
has direCted the - far-flung review
into the loyalty and security of all
diplomats and Civil Service em
ployes..
For the past 10 months, Mc-
Leod's security agents have ex
amined the background of all pre
sent employes and job applicants
to make certain they qualify un
der the Eisenhower administra
tion's new loyalty and security
standards.
McLeod, former aide to Repub
lican Sen. Bridges (N.H.) and
friend of Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.),
is reported satisfied his investiga
tions have been thorough and fair.
A frequent target of Democratic
criticism, McLeod is reported
ready to give an accounting to the
Democratic-controlled 84th Con
gre-S-s in the event it demands an
investigation of his security ac
tivities.

there - were some cloudy features
in this newest incident.
He located the scene as the Ha
bomai islands, some of which are
as close as two miles from Japan.
Ha said that when the Kurile is
lands were given to Russia they
claimed the Habomais were part
of the Kuriles, and it is a disputed
area. The Russians are very jeal
ously holding onto the area, he
said, perhaps on the theory that
possession is nine points of the
law. He added that the United
States and Japan have not recog
nized the Reds' claim to the Ha
bomais.
Still, he said that in this type of

answers.
Watkins was referring to Mc-
Carthy's failure to appear before
an investigating committee which
looked into his affairs in 1952.
This is the basis for one of the
censure counts against him. The
other charge was that he abused
Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker
when the general appeared before
McCarthy's Investigations sub
committee.
Case, in cautioning against "per
sonal abuse" of senators, was re
plying to McCarthy's statement
that the Watkins committee acted
as the "unwitting handmaiden" of
the Communist party in making
its censure recommendations.
Enters Speech
McCarthy made the charge yes
terday in a speech he said he
would deliver in the Senate to
day. As it turned out he didn't
actually deliver it but put it into
the Congressional Record—with
Case and others insisting it be
described there as a, statement
and not a speech.
Case declared, his voice rising:
!`.l don't want the senator from
Wisconsin to prove unintentional
ly to the country that count one is
right."
The first count in the two
count censure recommendation of
the Watkins committee is that
McCarthy showed contempt for
another Senate committee.

Sent to Senate
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (?P)—
The United States' answer to
Communist victories in Indochina,
the Southeast Asia collective se
curity pact,_ was sent to the Sen
ate today for its' approval as "an
important link" in free world de

President Dwight D. Eisenhow

sage accompanying th e treaty,
which he said is designed "to pro
mote security and peace in South
east Asia and the Southwest Pa
cific by deterring Communist and
other aggression in that area."
Although he called for "early
and favorable consideration" of
the agreement, the WOite House
said he has no plan to push for
Senate approval of the treaty at
the special. Senate session and
now considering censure of Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy.
The White House ha d an

Southeast Asia treaty and a ser

Fore i g n Relations Committee

for Senate action in the new ses

Ike Urges Acceptance
Of Dixon-Yates Contract
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (,LP)—President Dwight D. Eisen
hower said today he does not believe it is in the best interests
of the country to saddle the federal government with "a con
tinuous and never-ending responsibility" to provide new
public power.
He set forth his power philosophy in a letter urging the
Senate-House Atomic Ene r g y
Committee to allow swift execu
tion of the Dixon -Yates private
power contract if the committee
finds its terms satisfactory.
The controversial contract is
for a 107 million dollar generating
plant at West Memphis, Ark., to
pour private power into the lines
of the Tennessee Valley Author
ity. The power would take the
place of electricity TVA is fur
nishing to plants or the Atomic
Energy Commission.
TVA Proposals
There had been proposals that
TVA build government-owned
plants to supply the extra power
needed in the valley but Congress
declined •to underwrite this' plan.
The President's letter, addressed
to Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R.-N.Y.),
chairman of the Senate-House
Atomic Energy Committee, was
released toward the end •of a day
in which Eisenhower forces won
a big round in the Dixon-Yates
fight. Democrats on the committee
lost, 10-8, a move to bar imme
diate signing of the contract.
Ike's Lefler
"It seems to me," the President
wrote, "that there has been a
very great deal of talk and argu
ment=much of it partisan—about
issues that are really clear and
simple.
"No one in this administration
has any intention of destroying or
damaging TVA or of diminishing
its effectiveness in any way.
"But this is not the same thing
as fastening on the federal gov
ernment a continuing and never
ending responsibility which I
frankly do not believe is logical
nor, in the long run, in the best
interests of the country."
