Capehart Fight Will Be Aired Round-by-Round

WASHINGTON, Apr. 21 (UP) { — The recorded radio debate which preceded a “cream puff” brawl among three senators is going to be broadcast without deletions. Moody's syndicated ‘Meet Your Congress” canned report (carried by individual stations) does not include the brawl. But it does include the debate which led up to

the name-ealling. arm-waving 7% scuffle among Sens. Homer E,. ® Four chromelite Simmerset burners Capehart, (R., Ind.), Hubert H. Humphrey, (D., Minn.), and Herb- od Roomy utensil storage ert H. Lehman, (D., N.Y.). Sen. ® All burners and oven bottom Robert A. Taft, (R., 0.) filled the

debafe foursome but he didn't engage in the scuffle—he only helped drag his colleagues apart.

AFTER THE whooping it up peroid, Sen. Capehart said Sens. Humphrey and Lehman had denounced the Republicans as “warmongers” and made ‘“vitriolic remarks about Gen. Douglas MacArthur.” He said he .replied that since Sens. Humphrey and Lehman oppose using Chinese Nationalist troops with UN forces in Korea, they must be “basically sympathetic with the Chinese Communists.” Moody said Sen. Humphrey ehouted that Sen. Capehart's statement was ‘falsification and vilification” while Sen. Lehman claimed it was “libel.” There the debate ended and the brawl began.
