Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘Thursday, May 6, 1954 Johns, Collins Transeript Of MeCarthy-Army Map Plans For Hearings To Dept. Of Justice WASHINGTON (#—Senators in- vestigating the McCarthy-Army controversy decided unanimously today to send a transcript of the hearings to the Justice Depart- ment—a step ordinarily taken when there are questions of per- jury or other possible law viola- tions. Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) moved that the transcript go to the Jus- tice Department “for such atten- tion and consideration as it may merit.” Immediately afterwards, Sen. Symington (D-Mo) read a state- ment claiming there had been a violation of law by whoever gave Sen. McCarthy materiak from an FBI report relating to security risks at Ft. Monmouth, N.J. Symington spoke of the material, which McCarthy had brought into the hearing, as “this fraudulent letter.” McCarthy retorted that Syming- ton and Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) were attempting to obstruct the rooting of Communists out of the government. McCarthy said Symington and Jackson, who once left the McCar- thy subcommittee in a row with McCarthy, were “part of a secret effort” to obstruct the committee. “I find they are doing every- thing possible to keep this commit- tee from functioning,” McCarthy '' tied to a vote of confidence in the the people will be proud to call said. Symington had said someone was “absolutely guilty” of giving se- cret information ‘to someone not authorized to see it,” an obvious reference to McCarthy’s getting the material from the FBI report. McCarthy, in producing his doc- ument on Tuesday, described it as a 1951 letter from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to Maj. Gen. A. R. Bolling, then Army chief of intel- ligence.

Biggest Victory As a result of the vote canvass, Papy’s plurality was boosted to 2,- 364 votes — the most resounding victory he has won in his 20 year political career.

In the: school board race, Wat- son increased his margin over Rob- erts by only nine votes. He polled 229 absentee ballots while Rob- erts had 220. Bentley Gains In the second district race for the county commission, Frank Bentley, whe 2ow holds the post, gained ground on William A. Free- man, Jr., who is seeking to unseat him. Bentley drew 246 votes, the count showed, while Freeman had 138. Rodman J. Bethel, who was eli- minated from the race in Tues- day’s voting, received 82 absentee votes. The balloting gave Freeman a new total of 2713 votes and Bent- ley, 2125. Edge Reduced And in the senate race, William R. Neblett’s edge in the Monroe County balloting was reduced when incumbent James A. Franklin poll- ed 258 votes. Neblett drew 143. The balance were split between Milton A. Parrot and Travis A. Gresham, who received 54 and 25 votes res- pectively. In the gubernatorial race, Char- ley E. Johns picked up strength when he was given 258 votes to bring his total to 2572. Brailey Odham, who was eliminat- ed from the race in the statewide balloting, gained 135 Monroe Coun- ty votes to give him a total of 2367, Sen. Leroy Collins, who battled his way into the second primary against Johns received only 120 absentee’ votes here to make his official result 2010 votes. Meanwhile, those who face three sonally to combat an outburst of parliamentary criticism.

In the afternoon he held strategy conferences with cam- paign aides from all parts of the McCarthy’s 2% page document but that some of the material, with the subject matter, was the same as in a 15-page FBI report. McCarthy took the witness chair and testified under oath that the material was given him by an Army intelligence officer. He re- fused to name the officer. The senator swore too that he had believed it was in fact a letter from Hoover to Bolling at the time he offered it to the investigating committee, but had learned after offering it that it was not a letter. He said this information came to him from Roy Cohn, general coun- sel to his-investigating committee. He didn’t say how Cohn learned this. In today’s exchange, McCarthy charged Symington was “trying to punish those who dare to give out information about espionage in se- cret radar laboratories” (Ft. Mon- mouth, N.J.), ‘ Symington retorted he would not take the subcommittee’s time to discuss with McCarthy whether “my record for building forces against Communist advances is, equal or superior to his.” Syming- ton was first secretary of the Air Force and later chairman of the National Security Resources Board. Symington repeated that the let- ter brought out by McCarthy was “fraudulent” in that the informa- tion had been altered to make it appear as a letter when it was not. He said he did not question whether the facts in the paper were accurate. Ray H. Jenkins, special counsel for the investigating subcommit- tee, brought an end to the out- burst with a demand that no fur- ther discussion be permitted. He said the letter was explored fully yesterday and further “charges and counter-charges would be a waste of time.” There was no ‘argument over McClellan’s proposal to send the transcript of hearings to the Jus- tice Department. Chairman Mundt (R-SD) said the committee already had planned to do so, but had not sent the trans- scripts to the department yet. McClellan proposed that each transcript be sent to the Justice Department in the future as soon as it is prepared. This was part of his motion’ as adopted. Secretary of the Army Stevens waited patiently in the witness chair while the senators had their exchange. Once given the opportunity to speak, Stevens read a statement from FBI Director Hoover prais- ing Army cooperation with the FBI. Stevens said he had talked with Hoover by telephone this morning and Hoover had authorized the statement. Stevens quoted Hoover as saying that from time to time, in con- versation with Army officials, Hoovzr had praised “in highest terms” the cooperation of Army intelligence with the FBI. McCarthy has charged that the Army ignored repeated FBI warn- ings about the danger of sabotage or espionage at the Army Radar ritish Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden an. account of discussions Eden had with Soviet . Forign Minister V. M. Molotov after a dinner meeting at the Briton’s villa last night, An’ informed source said that Eden, acting on behalf of the United States, France and other interested countries, suggested a chairmanship Totating among Bi- dault, Eden and Molotov. While Molotov did not immediately re- ject this suggestion, it was said he showed no great interest in it. The informant said two other proposals had previously run into snarls: The Communists turned down Prince, Wan “Vaithayakon of Thailand as sole chairman and the French were understoed to have rejected continuance. for the Indo- china talks of the arrangement fol- lowed for the Korean debate—a chair rotating among Prince Wan, Eden and Molotov, Viet Nam’s deputy Premier Nguyen Trung Vinh heads the Viet- namese delegation which arrived here today. With Viet Nam taking a firm Position against division of Indo- china into rival spheres of influ- ence, the French delegation here was reported under great pressure fom home to get a settlement. Bidault, in a ticklish situation, was said to be resisting all suggestions for settlement terms that did not conain guarantees against Com- munist duplicity. MARSH REVEALS (Continued from Page One) district, and Ernest Stemple, who sold plumbing supplies to the dis- trict. Charges Filed Two weeks ago, Marsh filed grand larceny charges against Bateman and Alonzo Cothron, a contractor, in the alleged eonver- sion of $49,727 of state money. The charges are that between September 1953 and March 1954 Cothron “unlawfully” collected $49,727 from the district for equip- ment rental. Bateman was charged with aiding and abetting the act. Another investigation is being made by a Monroe County grand jury in Key West. A. J. Henry, an assistant state auditor from Tallahassee, and Charles Goodson, a State Road Department engi- neer from DeLand, appeared be- fore the jury today.

Franklin told The Citizen from Ft.

He was beaten in Collier and Hendry counties by Gre- sham, but managed to gain enough strength in Monroe and Lee coun- ties to lead the balloting.
