McCarthy said privately today that groundwork may be completed thia week on their report to .the senate on the inquiry. Two members of the six-man special committee which ended nine days of hearings Monday said the group probably can block out a preliminary outline of me report by Friday or Saturday. Both senators, declining to be quoted said that the project migat then be turned over to the committee's legal staff, which would search for laws and facts odealing with the points to be rai-d. 5 Another member of the committee stresser, however, that the senators will supervise every word that goes into the report, which will serve as the basis f<r- senate action on a resolution proposing that McCarthy be censured. This committeeman said he has "an idea the report will carry conclusions" on the evidence obtained at the hearings although it will not necessarily recommend any Action to the Senate. (I Another committee member promised thattheThport will be on •‘a high moral plane.” He said: "Joe McCarthy aside, we want to get over the idea that the senate is a body with certain ideals and codes of behavior.” Tuesday, the committee unanimously turned down an appeal by McCarthy's lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams, that they hire a new

Watkins, said: of the committee will make all of the decisions and . . .do not necessarily have to rely on counsel in the making of those decisions.” He stressed that his committee "has absolute confidence in the fairness of Mr. Chadwinck, Mr. De Furla and all other members of the legal staff.”. — However, Williams told newsmen: “1 don't see how lawyers can act as prosecutors and then take part in writing a decision.’

Disclosures Are Made In FHA Hearing Effort To Discredit Senator Douglas' Backer Backfires r- S - CHICAGO UNS)--Three explosive disclosures, including a new list Cf 13,791.981 In “windfall profltsf’ and the backfire of a GOP attempt to discredit a Chicago businessman raising campaign funds for Sen. Paul Douglas, have been made by the senate banking committee. The committee inve.-tiJtaUng the federal housing administration scanCuils opened a three-day sessiotJ>4jthC'hieago Tuesday. The new list, which names 40 projects on which FHA-in.wred mortgagee exceeded costs, was issued* by Albert M. Cole, administrator of the housing and home tinark-ing agency. The projects, from coa-'t to coast, were backed by 155 principal® who were named in the report. The attempt—and the backfire — by Republican office worker® to discredit Ferd Kramer, who hes l»ene raising money for Sen. Douglas (D-Hl.) was made in an exchange of correspondence between Sen. Homer Capehart (R-ind.) head of the banking committee and Douglas. , Republicans who figured in the attack included Sen. Everett M. (Rdll.) and hi® assistant. Harold Ra inville. The revelation of the behind-the-scene taotfc-s has raided a -serious que-stionw Hatch act violation ar.d thrown a shower of political debris over the FHA investigation. The exchange of letters revealed that James C. Moreland. Chicago district FHA director, obtained' a letter Kramer had sent to Chicago builders appealing for campaign fund*? for Sen. Douglas. The FHA director sent the letter to Dirksen in Washington with the handwritten notation that “this' is the Ferd Kramer, principal sponsor of Michigan Shores" and hie project was one where FHA cost estimate was for 11,650.000 more than the actual cost.

Rainville, who works for -the Republican senatorial campaign headed by Dirksen. passed the letter along- to a newspaper correspondent and subsequently several Illinois papers carried stories depicting Kramer, a Douglas supporter, as reaping “windfall profits.” This sequence of event was revealed by Gapehart himself after Douglas protested in a letter to Capel aart that the ottempter smear, not only hurt Kramer, but “I also resent Che attempt by implication to reflect unfavorably upon me." Capebart wrote Douglas what amounted to an apology. The veteran Indiana Republican said that not only was the windfall allegation untrue, “but -they were wrong to intimating that you had ■anything whatever to do with this project." Capehart in hie letter eaid actual coni-truction costs of Michigan Shore® were over $7,250,000 and the guaranteed loan wa» only $6.354.000. He added*: “ . . The FHA’® estimate of the costa of Mr. Kramer’s propect was $8,600.000— rather then the cost w'Mch was estimated by Mr. Kramer to be some s7.2oo,ooo—which resulted in the disputed- figure of about $1,600,000 which is not a wind l 'hll.” U. S. attorney Robert Tieken was anked whether Moreland’s action in calling Sen. Dir keen's attention to Kramer's political activity might be construed a® a viola-
