STRIKEOUTS—Trucks, St.Louis, McCarthy As TV Windup To Library Probe By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (#—Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis) called a televised windup today to the search his investigations subcomm’ttee has been making into use of Commu- nists’ writings in public libraries the U. S. operates overseas. The investigation brought Mc- Carthy into anoiher sharp clash yesterday with James Wechsler, editor of the New York Post. At a closed subcommittee session, they arranged to make public Friday a stenographie record of their meeting yesterday and a previous one two weeks ago. Wechsler contends McCarthy is seek'ng reprisals because the New York Post has attacked the sena- tor editorially. McCarthy says the editor was questioned “not as a newspaperman” but as author of a book used in U. S. overseas libraries. Today's hearing, McCarthy said, would include testimony from Har- vey Matusow, self-styled fo-mer Communist who has testified: at numerous congression=! hearings, and from some authors whom he did not name. MéCarthy contends that “‘a pat- tern of Communist subversion” has marked the nation's cold war vrovide foreigners with U. S. read- ing matter. Wechsler, who says he hes been militently anti-Red since quitting the Young Communist Learue at the age of 21, has insisted Me- Carthy ca:led him in a move ‘io silené¢e independent newspaper ~” through intimidation comment’ tactics. ~"-Oortte hae ouestioned wheth- er Wechsler’s deciared breek wits Pi ‘as to2 ed'tor sors.

The price of rubber advanced in Singapore, London and New York but from Akron come reports that some rubber companies may soon bring out a new and lower- priced line of tires because of the stiff competition developing in the tire industry, Prices on some steel products have been raised and U.

Steel stockholders were told Monday that ‘further price boosts on “fin- ished products are being planned— but the same day International Harvester cut retail prices on one line of its trucks (it takes a lot of steel to make them) by $87 to $152, The truek maker explains that it wants a larger share of the truck market and is going after it by | increasing production and cutting prices. “ Clothing and’ shoe prites may be going higher, come fall.
