Wisconsin Overwhelmingly Returns McCarthy To Senate; Opponent Calls Him Corrupt MILWAUKEE (#—McCarthy won But there was no truce between McCarthy and Len Schmitt — the man he defeated in yesterday's primary election for the senatorial nomination. Schmitt charged McCarthy had won through “an amazing and fraudulent hoax” perpetrated on the voters. and he added: “The result of this election is an appalling thing. . . . When the full truth dawns, many people will recall their support of Joseph R. McCarthy in this election with shame.” The 42-year-old senator, seeking his second term, brushed this at- tack aside by saying: “The people of Wisconsin have spoken for me. They have given full endorsement to my campaign.” The count was McCarthy 332,883 Schmitt 130,436 Four other GOP senatorial can- didates ran far behind. McCarthy’s victory will pit him | in the November election against either Thomas Fairchild of Verona or Henry Reuss of Milwaukee, the candidates for the Democratic senatorial nomination. Fairchild held a substantial lead over Reuss early today, but re- turns from Milwaukee County were chipping away at the margin and the outcome was uncertain. McCarthy’s spectacular victory indicated that perhaps he had some support from switch-voting Democrats who crossed the line to to rid the government of subver- sive forces that would destroy it.” With 2,379 precincts out of 3,224 give him help. Cross-voting is legal in Wisconsin, where voters are not required to registered by party af- filiation. But this was only speculation and there was no way to check it. The pre-election guess had been that any such cross-voting would help Schmitt — and this was one of the concerns in the McCar- thy camp. However, the senator outstripped both Democratic candi- dates and his five Republican ri- vals by more than 100,000 votes. Only a third of the state’s pre- cincts had been reported. when Schmitt threw in the towel at Japan Will Protect Hokkaido From All Foreign Invaders By VIC TAKAHASHI TOKYO (# — Japan intends to Shoulder a greater burden of the defense of Hokkaido, the northern- most island separated only by a narrow strait from the glowering power of Russia on Sakhalin. The veteran U. S. First Cavalry Division now stands guards on Hokkaido, in whose coastal waters the Russians rattle the sabre by seizing Japanese fishing boats. The Japanese press is full of accounts of plans to pul more mus- cle into the National Police Re- serve—American muscle of tanks | and howitzers, The National Security Board says that a regional corps of 25,000 men will be organized and mech- anized and sent to Hokkaido. Some press reports say that un- der this plan, the Japanese grad- ually will replace the U. S. cav- alrymen as a defense force on that northern outpost. The Japanese defense force for Hokkaido will be laid out along the lines of the U. S. Army, which has been training the National Po lice Reserve. The Japanese corps will be equipped with 105-mm_ artillery, 15-mm tractor howitzers, craft guns and 30-ton Sherman tanks of World War I], all from the U. S. Army. Press accounts report that some tanks and 105s already have been Today’s Stock Market NEW YORK w—Accompanied by @epped up activity, the stock market today declined moderately the fifth straight f Resistance to the fall was shown by a handufl of issues.

The effect upon me personally is utterly unimpor- tant. I did not enter this campaign because I sought or needed a job. “What is important is that a man with the most corrupt record ever made by a Wisconsin senator is overwhelmingly endorsed by Wis- consin voters. “The most amazing and fraudu- lent hoax ever practiced by a high public figure upon the voters of any state is approved by the people of a state which once insisted upon the highest standards of integrity, honesty and decency ir public life. “I remain secure in the know- ledge that I was right in this fight. I am proud of the part I played and I am deeply grateful to my many friends for the help and as- sistance they gave me, When the full truth dawns on many people they will recall their support of Joseph R. McCarthy in this elec- tion with shame.” The senator received the news of his victory at the home of a friend in his home town of Apple- ton. He was asked if he thought the election was an answer to his critics. “Nothing will ever answer my critics,” he replied. McCarthy went on to say he in- tended to support Eisenhower and his running mate, Sen. Richard Nixon,” because it would be a catastrophe for this nation if a man like Stevenson were elected president.” “We can’t have a houseclean- ing,” he added, “unless we have a change. I intend to fight corruption and communism and to expose the foreign policy that has been so bad for America and so good for Com- munist Russia.” Other Wisconsin primary con- tests saw all incumbent congress- | men — eight Republicans and one Democrat — apparently winning renomination.

This is conceded. The word Key West Matron Tells Story Of . Attempted Attack Reveals Account For First Time To Show Danger Of Prowlers; Has Many Scars A Key West matron showed The Citizen today scars of wounds from being bitten by an attempted rap- ist at her home on William street some years ago, and told the story of her attempted attack for the first time. Dangerous Prowlers officials will know that these prow- lers are dangerous and that it ean happen here.” The matron held out her wrist and showed the eight year old sears, left by the teeth of the tres- Passer who broke into her home, tried to rape her and bit her hand when she grabbed the knife he held at her throat. The brave woman, instead of fainting, put up such a battle and screamed so loudly that she arous- ed neighbors who rushed to her rescue and frightened the criminal away. Later the man was'arrested and identified by another near vic- tim and sent to jail. Here is her first person state- ment, exact and a model for full reports that should be made by all victims of prowlers, according to aroused citizens. It is only through full reporting to the police and sheriff's department that the prow- ished, they say. to begin. “It was a few nights after the 1944 hurricane about 3 o'clock in the morning. I was awakened by my little dog who had jumped up me growling. “The room was so dark that I could see nothing, but felt a hand in a cotton work glove cover my mouth. A voice said: “Don’t make any noise!”” “There was something sharp sticking my chest up near my neck. “The conversation went some- thing like this, ‘You got any mon- ey,” ‘Some.’ ‘How much you got,” ‘About $15.’ ‘That ain’t enough.’ “By that time I knew what he was after. I also knew that what had been sticking me was a long knife, but that to do what he said he intended to do to me would re. to put the knife somewhere. I lis- tened hard thinking he might put the knife on the windowsill near my head where I could get it. But I didn’t hear anything. Then I felt two hands pull the sheet and with the handle on the left side. “I grabbed the handle with my my left and began to scream, He jumped from tried to get the knife away from me. I held on thinking someone would come. He pulled me from the bed on the floor and bit my wrist so badly that I had to let go. Then I saw his flashlight beam om the door, and he was gone. “army” is unpopular in Japan just now.

Eisenhower and the Republicans. | They also made certain that | other Texas Democrats — thus far unorganized — couid vote for Adlai Stevenson on the general election ballot in the usual Democratic column. i The Democrats, who hollered themselves hoarse in convention yesterday catcalling and hooting Stevenson, President Truman and | administration policies, fulfilled the pledge made by their leader to } win seats in the National Conven- tion at Chicago. : Gov. Allan Shivers had promised to do all in his power to put Stevenson’s name on theballot as a Democrat, and he did. Then, with the governor's bless- ing, the convention gave every Democrat in Texas the green light to join the Eisenhower forces that have high hopes of carrying Texas this year. Its resolution, adopted by a whopping voice vote, went further | and asked the governor and other party officials to campaign for Ei- senhower. Shivers, who once urged Eisen- hower as a possible Democratic | nominee, said last night he want- | ed to think it over before saying | what he would do about it. By an overwhelming vote mar- shaled from the crossroads, the small towns and small cities, Shiv- ers rode over the States Rights faction that went down fighting for dual Democratic columns on the November ballot. | The States Righters wanted a slate of electors for Eisenhower carrying the “Texas Democratic” label and another for Stevenson in the ‘National Democratic” colum |! Shivers insisted he did not want | to be a party to ballot tampering, that the State Rights plan was! neither morality nor legally right and that it would violate his Chi- cago pledge. The States Rights fac- tion argued it was legal and that it would give Texans cherishing the Democratic title a charice to | vote for Eisenhower without leav- ing their party, This plan was hatched by dele- gations from such big cities as Houston, Dallas and Ft. Worth. It was pushed by East Texans to whom the administration’s race policies are poison. | It was buried under a 2-1 vote.

Not only would the men have to be paid time and one-half and double time, but the construc- tors would have to be paid their bonus.

Wednesday, September 10, 1952 THE KEY WESY CITIZEN ANOTHER OPEN LETTER, TO THE CITIZENS OF KEY WEST WITH REFERENCE TO THE DOG TRACK I think I owe it to you, the voters of Key West, to inform you of how the Key West Kennel Club decided to come to Key West to open a track. It was not a case of clients having determined that Key West was a good location. Neither was it a case of their selecting me as attorney because I had formerly resided in Key West. If it were so, it might simply be a case of a lawyer performing a service for clients, irrespective of their background or previous connections. No matter where my profession has taken me, no matter the business in- terests in which I may have been engaged, no matter what little success I may have made, I have never forgotten something which stayed with me through the years; “Once a Conch, always a Conch.” It was I who determined that this would be a good business venture, and at the same time, if operated on a fine, clean, honest basis, could be and would be the fore- runner of excellent entertainment for the home people and the tourists.

It was I who influenced some wealthy business leaders of this nation to come here. Most of them wouldn’t know the difference between a dog track and a railroad track.
