Cent Be Punished D Lovell Bixby, acting of institutions, asked if any action would be taken against the 23, said, “The law specifies you cannot punish an insane man; the courts can’t punish them, so how can we?” Dr. Howard S. Magee, hospital director, said a “hard core” of five inmates led the frenzied crowd in the dining hall. Forty inmates leaped with 10 at- tendants through windows, dropping 12 feet to the courtyard. Another attendant, Earl Hubba was seized by two of the rioters and beaten about the head. Many aia squeezed out through the rr. Injuries Suffered Those that went through the win- dows suffered cuts.

Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) last night and strongly pro- testes the Senate motion to censure him. ‘The enthusiastic’ “crowd; estimated at 13,000, applauded speaker after speaker who praised the senator and condemned his ¢ritics. Sone of the loudest ac- claim.~vas won by the ‘senator’s wife Jean and Roy M. Cohn, form- er counsel to McCarthy’s investi- gating committee. “If the Senate votes to censure, it will have been committing the blackest act in its entire hisory,” declared Cohn, who. was spotted in the audience and brought to the speakers platform by cries cf “speech” and “we want Roy.” The rally was sponsored by a group called ‘10 Million Ameri- cans Mobilizing -for Justice’ and climaxed that organization’s drive for 10 million signatures on a pe- tition protesting, censure of Mc- Carthy. Rear Adm. John G. Crommelin (ret.), who directed the. signature drive, announced that 1,150,238 names had already been counted and there were piles of petitions yet to be tabulated. “I don’t see how we can fail to go way over the top,” he said. The Senate is scheduled to start voting on the censure motion to- morrow, Ideas Differ On Youth's Disappearance TAMPA (®. — Police’ investiga- ting the case of a Pensacola youth whose bullet marked car was found here are considering the pos- sibility of voluntary disappearance as well as homicide. - “There are two schools of thought ‘on it,” Detective Inspector O. C. Beynon said. No reason has been found why Glenn E. MeDonald, 18, should fake a disappearance but at the same time there is ‘nothing con- clasive” to point to violence against the Florida State Universi. ty freshman, Beynon said. McDonald was last reported at a filling station in Pensacola Sat- urday. A youth answering his de- scription was seen at a Tallahassee | |] service station in the company of two men later that day. His automobile, with two bullet holes near the driver’s seat, was found at a trash dump here Satur- day night. A third hole, in the left front window, first believed to be a bullet hole, was made by some instrument ‘which left wood! slivers in the glass, the detective’ reported. Beynon said the biggest objection’ to the homicide theory'was’ the absence of any large blood stains: If-someone had been’ shot im! the’ front seat, as™the bullet.’ holes might indicate, there should ‘have, been considerable’ loss: .af: blood right there, he said. There were some small.stains which are being. given laboratory. test, though they are not believed to. be blood. “We are not discounting the theory of foul play but so far we have no actual proof of foul play,” Beynon said. Meanwhile friends of the family continued checking all filling sta- tions between Tallahassee and Tampa in the hope some attendant might remember the youth. Pensa- cola officers said several men Imown to have been hitch hiking from Mobi‘e to South Florida are being sought for questioning. Mc- Donald’s father owns a group of filling stations, Ft.
