House Group Will Not Call Matthews Group Decides Not To Hear Testimony WASHINGTON VP - The house un-American activities committee has decided not to hear testimony from J. B. (Matthews who touched off a furor last year by charging that some Protestant clergymen a|d the Reds. The action came Thursday on a . 5 to 4 vote of the committee. At the same time the committee sent to the justice department the testimony ot the (Rev. John A. Hutchison and three ex-Commu-niats for possible perjury prosecution. Chairman Harold H. Velde (R---111.) and Rep. Gordon H. Scherer (R-Ohio) said they voted to hear Matthews who worked briefly last year for Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's senate investigating subcommittee. It was not disclosed how other members of the nine-man cotniuittee voted. Matthews charged last Year that the Protestant clergy contains “the largest single group” aiding the “Communist apparatus" in the United States. Velde told reporters he felt Matthews should be heard “on the grounds that we have heard other witnesses who asked to be heard.” •Hutchison, a Congregational minister who teaihes religion at Williams College, •WilHamsto.wn, Maes, denied cooperating with Communist party leaders as a young pastor in Baltimore 19 years ago. Three ex-Communists — the Rev. Joseph S. Nowak, .Earl C. Reno and Leonard Patterson—testified Hutchison met with party leaders in their Baltimore headquarters - and took part in their activities in the Baltimore area.

Sen. McCarthy Probe Taking On New Twist I Probe Establishes Case As Mishandled Congress' Business WASHINGTON UP —The investigation of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and his aides has taken a new. twist to establish itself -unopposed as the most mishandled business of the 83rd congress. McCarthy’s friends on the inves- 1 tigating subcommittee, if any, have i put themselves on the spot. They ' I ore the Republican members who | proposed Samuel P. Sears of Bos-1 ton to be special subcommittee counsel. Sears is to direct the inquiry into alleged pressure by MeCafthy and one ofltis aides to ob-' tain army favors for another aide j who was drafted. Republican subcommittee mem-1 bers now find theniselves in a position where they must find the senator and his aides guilty as charged or meet loud protests of whitewash. The fact that Sears had sought the job became public after Republican and Democratic subcommittee members unanimously had voted to employ him. Thereafter. it,„became-fcnuiwjr here that Sears, was one Harvard graduate who had been battling his owi university and individual faculty members in behalf of Me Cart by .--7. Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD), temporary chairman of the subcommittee for the investigation, said Sears was recommended by chairman Leverett Saltonstall (IlMass') of the senate armed services committee. Saltonstall, who is up for re-elec-tion this year, said Sears took the initiative in offering to take the, post. He said he informed the subcommittee of Sears' “availability" and described-him as a lawyer of “high repute” amt “character." But Saltonstall said he did not push his candidacy. Sears, along with a great manyother citizens, is on record that McCarthy "has done a great job." Sears did what he could for McCarthy in the 1952 election and said the senator would not sleep until "he drives the Pinks sad Commies out of* government.” There are. a great many other citizens who do not see it that i way as, for example, Robert Nathan. chairman ot the Americans For Democratic Action executive committee and a CIO economist. “The integrity of the senate has been jeopardized," said Nathan, “by this obvious first step to whitewash Sen. McCarthy. Mr. Sears public record of praise and support of McCarthy disqualifies him on grounds of both ethics and Ob- .. jectivity.”.———— Some millions of Americans will stand with Nathan and some lions with Sears. But if Sears conducts an investigation to the satisfaction of the anti-McCarthy citizens without offending the McCarthy cheering section, or the other way around, he will mighty near establish himself as the lawyer of the year.

Solons Jittery In House On Thursday Popping Flash Bulb Stirs Congressmen WASHINGTON. (UP) — It was understandable that house members were a little jittery when the dock showed 2:30 p. tn. Thursday. A tip had come through that another shooting would take place in the house chamber April 1 — one month to the day after four Puerto Rican terrorists had shot down five congressmen in a wild fusillade of bullets. When the clock showed 2:30 p. m. —the exact time of the previous shooting — and nothing happened, relieved members passed’ the whole thing as the “joke” of a twisted mind. But then, at 2:34 p. tn., a teenage youth arose in the southwest gallery—where the Pureto Ricans had stood —and set off a flash bulb. . Picture taking ordinarily would Ire no joccasioh_Tor alarm hut tt Is against the rules from the gallery of either the house or senate. When the flash bulb popped.
