Capehart To Propose Delay Until January In Senate Vote To Censure McCarthy; No Widespread Support Predicted By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (#—Sen. Cape- hart (R-Ind) said tcday he will propose the Senate put off until January a vote on censuring Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis). Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) predicted any such move would be rejected quickly. The Senate opened formal de- bate yesterday on the recommen- dation of a special six-man com- mittee that McCarthy be officially rebuked on grounds that he acted “eontemptuously” toward a Senate elections subcommittee which in- vestigated his finances in 1951-52 and that he “repeatedly abused” Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker, a witness before McCarthy's investi- gating committee earlier this year. Capehart said in an interview before the scheduled resumption of debate that he believes ‘the great majority of senators’’ would agree with him a two months’ delay would mean “a far more judicial and deliberate consideration of this important matter.” But Capehart, who has an- nounced he will vote against cen- sure, appeared to lack any wide- spread support. Jackson, a Mc- Carthy critic, said there was “‘not a chance” for such a delay move to succeed. “The Senate wants to get this thing out o f the way as soon as possible,” he said. ‘‘It would re- ject any postponement.” Any such action as Capehart pro- posed would entail a new start on the censure move, since the reso- lution now pending and the com- mittee report in its support will die with the present Congress, McCarthy clashed _ yester- day with Sen. Watkins (R-Utah) and was lectured by Sen. (R-ND) for “personal abuse’ of colleagues in an alternately spir- ited and dull session before filled galleries; Asked how he thought he was progressing in his defense, Mc- Carthy replied: “I don't know. I can tell you more about that in three weeks.” McCarthy disclaimed any know- ledge of delaying tactics or of pro- posed compromises which might fend off a direct vote on censure. Senators Dirksen (R-Ill) and Brid- ges (R-NH) were reported trying to draft a substitute for the com- mittee’s resolution, but they would no discuss it. McCarthy gave no evidence that he has in mind anything other than a bristling defense of his posi- tion. He has predicted the Senate will vote to censure him Sen. Case, a member of the Wat- kins group, took issue yesterday with McCarthy's assertion—that in urging censure the committee had served as “the unwitting hand- maiden” of the Communist party. Case said senators ought to be able to accept unpleasant commit- tee assignments ‘‘without being subject to personal abuse.” “I don’t want the senator from Wisconsin to prove unintentionally | to the country that count one is right,” he said. That count involves McCarthy's alleged contempt of a/ committee. McCarthy replied he was trying to show only that committee mem- bers had been “unwilling dupes” of Communists Sen. Butler (R-Md), elected to the Senate with McCarthy’s sup- port in 1950, urged the Senate to “limit, qualify and even repudiate” parts of the Watkins committee's censure report Butler, who announced he would vote against the resolution as it stands, said he did not approve of McCarthy's 1953 remark that Sen. Hendrickson (R-NJ) was “a living miracle. . .with neither brains nor guts.’’ Nor did he approve, he said, of McCarthy's statement to Zwick- er that he was unfit to wear the uniform of a general. He said this was “a private and personal thing with me” and he had never told McCarthy about it But he said the Watkins com- mittee recommendations would set up “a binding code applying to senatorial conduct."’ a move that he regarded as “just plain ridicu- lous.” Among his reasons for voting against censure, Butler listed: | | Page 12 By RAY KOHN . _NEW YORK w#—Call it imagina- | j tion, but the Statue of Liberty to-| day has her chin raised a proud notch and her torch held even| higher as she listens to the oath cf| allegiance fervently voiced by 50,- 000 new citizens of te United | | States. | | It’s our first Veterans Day—for- | merly Armistice Day — and our | first holding of mass naturalization ceremonies, from coast to coast of the “48” and across the Pacific |to Hawaii and Guam, | These 50,000 are men and women from many countries.
