GOP Leaders Plan Efforts To Soften Censure | Amer. Legion Honor Guard Pays Tribute On Veterans Day, Resolution; McCarthy Frowns On Compromise By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, (#—Republican leaders reportedly set a Monday target date for efforts to soften a censure resolution against Sen. MeCarthy (R-Wis). Monday was the day specified “By #7 influential GOP senator who, 2 ig to remain anonymous, said an interview that unless Mc- thy and his friends can agree hy then en a compromise resolu- tion “it won't be much use to try eny further.” f So far, this senator added, Mc- “arthy himself has not agreed to ccept even the criticism involved 1 a proposed watered-down alter- cative to the direct censure rec- commendation now before the Sen- ite. The Senate itself was in recess over the weekend after a session : esterday which saw McCarthy as- siiled as a spreader of “slush and lime” and defended as “the rongest voice now speaking out i1 America against communism.” During the debate Sen. Knowland ¢! California, the Republican floor Jrader, seemed to be laying the soundwork for a possible Senate ywdict differing from the censure y solution unanimously proposed 17 the special committee headed 17 Sen. Watkins (R-Utah). Know- 1nd said that while he had im- » jeit faith in the six-man biparti- n committee, that did not mean te committee’s recommendation j id to be accepted without change. The GOP senator interviewed to- (yy said that one suggested com- omise, so far spurned by Mc- ‘urthy, might declare that while * eCarthy’s actions had been ‘‘in- mperate and indiscreet” on some casions, oh pres in show- “penetration ey govern- ; ” by Communists. » mpromise would strike out all ference to censure or condemna- * om of McCarthy himself, a move i; backess are not sure could com- and the necessary majority vote. However, Sen. Aiken (R-Vt), said i an interview he believes “some y nators might be willing to cen- re or condemn acts who are un- lling to vote against Sen. Mc- rthy personally.” The Watkins committee has rec- umended that McCarthy be “‘con- hned” for his alleged “contemp- yus” treatment of an elections beommittee which investigated | + finances in 1951-52.

But it was learn- he had urged McCarthy's ends to temper their language discussing the censure issue in » hope that chances for a com- omise would not go up in the ce of debate. McCarthy himself flew to Wis- asin to accept an award from the ung Republican Women of that te today. Sen, Stennis (D-Miss), a Watkins mmittee member who accused Carthy yesterday of putting “‘an- ver spot on the floor of the Sen- , another splash and splatter” attacking he group, said he wuld consider any “bona fide itement” McCarthy might offer way of retraction, Stennis yesterday challenged Mc- rthy’s assertion that members the Watkins Committee were the nwitting handmaidens” of the mmunist party. He told the Sen- 2 that McCarthy's statement was continuation of the slush and « me which has been poured on rer committees arged with the duty of trying to ok into his conduct.” While ‘Sen, McCarthy has done | me very good and very effective ork” against Communism, Sten- ; said, this “is not a license to stroy other processes of the Sen- » or destroy its members. . . ‘If we approve, then something ¢ and fine will have gone from s chamber and something of a ong character — something rep- senting a wrong course, a wrong proach — will have entered aad IL have been accepted as a prop- standard of conduct.” But Sen. Goldwater (R-Ariz), d his colleagues that McCarthy's ities had “dipped in the smut t” in an effort to destroy the mmunists’ “major political ob- icle in America.” ‘It is difficult to believe that > senator is really under attack cause of the relatively trivial . jenses which have been alleged ainst him by the special (Wat- as) committee,” Goldwater said. “} suggest that Sen.

The diplomat is Malcolm Mac- Donald, commissioner general for Southeast Asia, whose job is to coordinate British policy in the area. The controversial photo, splashed over six columns of the tabloid Daily Mirror, showed him walking on a beach with the dusky daugh- ter and niece of a Dayak chief in the headhunting country of north- west Borneo. The girls wore only necklaces above the waist. A columnist of the Conservative Daily Telegraph first mentioned the picture two days ago, saying it showed the “transgression of limits to which policy justifies the discarding of dignity.” | The Mirror jumped to MacDon- | ald’s defense today with an edi- torial blasting the Telegraph’s at-| titude as “‘babyish.” | “The truth is,” said the Mirror, | “that it is hot in them parts.” | In Singapore, where MacDonald | has his headquarters, Canon R K. §S. Adams, principal of the colony’s St. Andrews School, said “there is nothing indecent about the picture in relation to the place where it was taken ... Mr. Mac- Donald is doing a great service in winning the friendship and trust of Asians so freely.” | Bad Check Ring Is Cracked Friday ST. PETERSBURG (#—The sus- picions of a liquor store owner here led to the cracking of a bad check ring, which police reported | yesterday, cashed 140 bogus checks | in 17 Florida cities and perhaps operated in other states. Det. Sgt. Earl Ledux said Lamar Powell, 37, of Omega, Ga., held on several counts of forgery, di-| rected the ring which included three Omega Negroes. The three, Joe West, Isaac Henry and Walter Phillips, have pleaded guilty to forgery and are awaiting sentenc- | ing. Leduc said the operatives worked | one city at a time, concentrating | principally on supermarkets where | payroll checks are cashed in great numbers. | West was arrested after cashing | a check at a liquor store where the owner became suspicious, Le- due related, adding that Henry and | Phillips were taken into custody | when they visited West in Jail. | A search of the Negroes un- | covered 30 checks each in the | amount of $61 and bearing the firm names of Manatee County Growers Assn. of Bradenton or Orlando Con- | tracting Co. of Orlando, the de-/| tective continued. Neither of the firms knew anything about the checks. | Powell was arrested at Omega Wednesday and a hand printing | press which turned out blank checks was confiscated, Leduc said. He reported full extent of the ring’s operation is not known. | ENVOYS TO DENMARK LOS ANGELES #—The U.S State Department will send two | envoys to Scandinavia aboard Scandinavian Airlines System's eastbound inaugural flight from here to Copenhagen next Monday the SAS has announced.
