Charges McCarthy p Is Ruining Party Republican Senator Accuses McCarthy WASHINGTON, UP — A Republican senator today accused Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of “doing his best to shatter” the Republican party. Sen. Ralph E. Flanders of Vermont also said in a senate speech that McCarthy’s 'Red-hunting campaign is diverting the nation's attention from the “dangerous problems” faced abroad. In a brief, sometimes humorously - worded speech, Flanders expressed puzzlement about McCarthy's political affiliation. “Is he a hidden satellite of the ’ Democratic party, to which he is furnishing so much material for quiet mirth?" Flanders asked, “It does not seem that his Republican label can be stuck on very tightly, when by intention t>r through ignorance he is doing his best to shatter that party whose label he wears." Flanders said “one must conMASONIC Regular Stated Meeting > ----- TUESDAY, March 9th 7:30 B. M. Ray Stingely, W.M. o- o I — Last Time Tonight — “BEAT THE DEVIL’’ ' Jennifer Jones, H.

elude that his is a one-man party, and that its name is McCarthyism, a title which he has proudly accepted." McCarthy was not present to hear the Flanders speech, the first open attack on McCarthy by a GOP senator at this session of congress. Pointing to the Communist danger in Asia, Europe, and South America. Flanders asked what is the part ’played by McCarthy in “this battle of the age-long war?” “He dons his war paint," Flanders said. “He goes into his war dance. He emits his war whoops. “He goes forth to battle and proudlj' returns with the scalp of a pink army dentist. "We may assume that this represents the depth and serinnsness of Communist penetration in this country at this time.” Flanders said the Wisconsin Republican had charged into the "dirty premises" left by the Democrats with "all the energy and enthusiasm of a natural - born housekeeper." Flanders said he realizes there is "much chatter and hullabaloo” to housecleaning, but he said that in his long life he has “never seen or heard anything to match the dust and racket of this particular job of housecleaning." “Perhaps these extremes,, are necessary if a one-man party is to be kept in the headlines and in the limelight,” he said.

Draff Head Makes Final Decisions Hershey Rules On Exemption Cases WASHINGTON, UP —Selective service director Lewis B. Her&hey disclosed today he is personally making the final decision in cases involving prosecution of ministers and conscientious objectors who illegally claim draft exemption. Hershey has ordered local draft boards to send reports of all such cases to him because of conflicting court rulings in various federal districts and circuits. He is waiting for a supreme court ruling on the subject. Hershey noted that the Bth circuit court of appeals has held that a claim of conscientious objector cannot be denied where a person refuses to bear arms for his country but admits willingness to engage in a religious war or to use force to defend his life, home, or members of his sect. Selective service had previously con--tended draft exemption could be denied in such cases. Previously local boards deals directly with United States attorneys in handling draft evasion cases. Hershey changed this procedure in an order to local boards Jan, 26. He made it public today in the March issue of the bulletin “Selective Service." •The bulletin said selective service headquarters is in a better position to know which cases can be prosecuted successfully under various judicial rulings. r IKE REQUESTS (Continued From Pnjre (lnf> „j4oual committee chairman Leonard W. Hall had chosen the vice president to reply to Stevenson for the party, McCarthy replied: "An excellent choice. But, 1 am delegating no one to make an answer of the attack on me. Mr. Nixon will speak for the party. L am speaking for myself. Stevenson made a vicious and lengthy attack onme. Len Hall had, n<y choice but to ask for time sffltfe Stevenson’s speech was an attack on the Republican party. Let nie make ! it Stevenson made an intemperate attack on the Republican party but also a vicious attack on me.”--McCarthy said federal communications rules required that he be given free time under the circumstances: “They (the networks) will grant me time of they will learn what the law is. I -will guarantee that." CBS promptly repeated that it would not grant his request. It said in a statement that it Wak “logical and equitable” to give the time to the GOP national committee “rather than to any individual.” NBC withheld immediate comment. As of the moment the battle is between McCarthy and the networks, but that may not last. Also,, as of now, Republican strategy does not provide for much or any defense of McCarthy in Nixon’s speech, probably none. The United Press was informed party strategists expect Nixon to speak on the Eisenhower administration record to date, but not on the senator. It is planned for him to make what is called “a positive presentation of the record which will be the umbrella for all Republican candidates in this year’s campaign.” The sequence of events leading up to the present situation was: 1. Stevenson made a speech Saturday describing the Republican party as half McCarthy and half Eisenhower and assailing McCarthyism. the Presidents’ party leadership and certain basic Eisenhower policies. 2. McCarthy announced Sunday that he would request identical broadcast and television time to -reply;ry 3. Hall and committee associates decided Monday- that -the answer to Stevenson was a party matter to be handled by the party organization. The White House called the committee to make the same suggestion shortly after Hall’s decision that Nixon was the man to answer Stevenson. The M hite House agreed.4. Hall requested time of NBC and CBS and Mr. Eisenhower asked Nixon to speak for the party. It seemed obvious here that Republican political strategists did not want McCarthy to appear as the party spokesman on this occasion. and that the White House came independently to the same position. Mr. Eisenhower did nbt want to reply to Stevenson anc' ( his advisers were agreed that he should not do so. Notice of admivixtration in the Adams Circuit-Court ofAdams County, Indiana.
