McCarthy 'Condemned'
By 67-22 Senate Vote
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (JP)—The Senate voted official condemnation of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's
conduct on two counts today by a 67-22 vote, but refused to censure him for a "denunciation" of Brig.
Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker.
Ina tense, hushed,linal to weeks and months of blazing controversy, the Senate completed its sole
major item of business at a four-week extraordinary session by declaring:
1. The Wisconsin Republican's
failure to help a 1951-52 investi
gating subcommittee, and his
"abuse" of the group's members,
are "condemned" on the ground
they obstructed "the constitution
al processes of the Senate."
2. McCarthy's "Communist
handmaiden" and other charges
against the Watkins committee,
which recommended censure for
him, likewise are "hereby con
demned."
But another count-abuse of
Zwicker when the general ap
peared before McCarthy's Inves
tigation subcommittee last Febru
ary—never even came to a vote.
By a 64-23 margin, the Senate
voted to rebuke McCarthy for his
blasts at the Watkins committee
instead.
Finally, after rebuking one of
its own members for the fourth
time in American history, the
Senate adjourned at 7:10 p.m..
EST. That means, in this case,
until Jan. 5.
McCarthy, his injured arm in a
sling, came into the chamber
when the final vote was in pro
cess.
He paused at the center rear
door, then walked slowly behind
the last row of seats on the Re
publican side just as the man who
started the censure move, 74-year
old Sen. Flanders (R-Vt.), sang
out a firm "Aye!"
Grinning, McCarthy laid a hand
on Flanders' shoulder with a sort
of let - bygones - be - bygones air.
Flanders looked up, shook a fore
finger at McCarthy and, his ex
pression unsmiling, said some in
audible from the galleries.
McCarthy took his seat then,
voted "present" rather than
"aye" or "no" when his name
was called, and was deep in a
conversation with Sen. Fergu
son (R-Mich.), who had voted
against him, when the final tally
was announced. McCarthy didn't
even look up.

today.

Split Opinions
•1= n McCarthy
WASHINGTON (iP)--Sen. James
H. Duff (R-Pa.) sided with the
majority and Sen. Edward Martin
(R-Pa.) with the minority yester
day as the Senate voted 67-20 to
censure Sen. Joseph . McCarthy
(R-Wis.) for contemptuous conduct
toward 'a Senate subcommittee
probing his financial affairs in
1951 and 1952:
As the Senate voted 74-15
against a censure substitute mo
tion by Sen. Karl Mundt (R-S.D.),
both Martin and Duff were against
the motion, which would have put
the Senate on record merely as
disapproving and disavowing "in
temperate statements" by McCar
thy.
Periisylvania's two senators split
on two other earlier motions. Duff
voted against a substitute motion
by Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-111).
Martin was in favor of the motion,
defeated 66-21.
On an amendment by Sen. Stiles
Bridges (R-N.H.), that McCarthy
had violated no Senate rules or
precedents, Sen. Martin was for
the amendment and Sen. Duff was
against it. The amendment was
defeated ' 68-20.

Eastern 'NATO' Planned
By Russia and Satellites
MOSCOW, - Dec. 2 (R)—The Soviet Union and seven Eastern
European Communist states tonight signed a pledge to pool their
armed forces and put them under ' a joint command if the Western
Powers ratify the Paris agreements to rearm West Germany.
Preinier Georgi Malenkov and top members of the Soviet gov
ernment attended the ceremony
in the great Kremlin Palace. The
signing wound up a four-day se
curity conference called by the
Russians to counter the West's
defensive alliance, the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, with
an Eastern version of NATO.
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
signed for the Soviet Union. The
other nations committed by the
signatures of their chief delegates
are East Germany, Czechoslova
kia, Poland, Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria and Albania.
Red China was represented by
its ambassador in Moscow who
declared his government threw
its full support behind the eight
nation declaration.
Western leaders have set
March I as the target for rati
fication, When this is done 500,-
000 West German troops will
be brought under the North At
lantic banner.
• The Western nations snubbed
linvitations to attend the Moscow
security conference. The United
States, Britain, France and others
said ratification must precede
meetings with Communist leaders
on European problems.
Informed diplomatic officials
say the Soviet Union and its Euro
pean. partners could muster 400
divisions within 30 days after the
jumpoff of any attack. The total
of men under arms in the eight
nations is placed at more than six
million, of whom about four and
one-half million are in the ground
forces.
The Soviet Union's 20,000-
plane fleet of fighters, light
bonibers and heavy 'bombers is
being converted into a deadly
and completely modern jet
force.
Arrayed against this COmmu
nist strength are about 100 divis
ions available to the Supreme
Command of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, with about
2000 planes of the West's vast air
fleets in condition to fight im
mediately.
Rep. Errett Scrivner (R-Kan),
touching upon the air issue in a
U.S. House debate last April 28,
said the United States had 31,000
planes assigned to the Air Force,
Navy and Marines and that Rus
sia has no long-range bombers
capable of attacking the United
States and returning to a Soviet
base.

'otience on
"ed Threats
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (AP)
P i resident Dwight D. Eisenhower
Counseled patience for Americans
today, saying the United States
must stand steady in the , face of
Communist provocations "and re
fuse to be goaded" into impulsive
acts which could lead to war.
Calling that "the hard way" to
face such tactics as the imprison
ment of 13 Americans by the Chi
nese Communists, Eisenhower
said the easy course would be "to
adopt a .truculent, publicly bold,
almost insulting attitude."
Specifically, the President told
his news conference he believes
a blockade of Red China, such as
has been urged by Sen. Knowland
of California, the Senate Repub
lican leader, would be an act of
war.
The Chinese accused the 13 of
spying, a charge the State and
Defense • Departments have
al
ready vigorously denied.
The President was reticent in
the case of the two civilians whom
the Red Chinese charged were es
pionage agents for the U.S. Cen
tral Intelligence Agency. Asked
about the status of these two, Eis
enhower said it Was cloudy, he
thought, and he couldn't discuss
it in detail.
