Joe McCarthy has been grinding out so many speeches and press releases about Communism in the State Department that he has used up his Senate paper quota. Since he must now pay for paper out of his own pocket, he has ap- pealed to Republican colleagues to lend him some from their supplies. “When I started on this invest- jgation, my office had an excess of paper of all kinds,” McCarthy explained in a letter to Republican senators. “However, due to the great volume of documents we have used to date, my supply of paper has been completely ex- hausted and it has been necessary for some time to buy all the paper ' | we use. This has become a very €xpensive venture. areas,” on normal days off, even in the forward area when swift.unloading was desperately urgent. ‘ It is far better for the Navy to operate its own and insisted e s “The thought occurred,” Mc- Carthy hinted, “that you might have an extra supply of paper which you would let us have to use in this work.” McCarthy added sginificantly that he planned to use the paper “in a sizable number of speeches which I plan to make prior to the fall elections.” Passing the Blame several hush-hush appear- ances before Congressional com- mittees, Adm.

At that time the intelligence chief testified that there had been “evidences” to troop mobilization above the 38th Parallel, but that it was “almost impossible” to get authentic information because of the “reluctance” of native inform- ers. Pinned down by Republican Rep- resentative James Fulton of Penn- sylvania, Hillenkoetter told the committee: “In my opinion, there is nothing to indicate any action in Korea in the near future.” He added something to the effect that “accidents can happen, of course.” Capehart SOS Fearful for his senatorial scalp in the November elections, Sen. Homer Capehart of Indiana, the jukebox king, has sent out an SOS to all Republican senators. “I would consider it a personal }favor and it will be of great value not only to myself but the entire Republican ticket in Indiana if you could make at least one speech, preferably more, in Indiana during the campaign,” he pleaded in a confidential letter.
