Tite. a versatile quarterback, took Lo the air for the next tally, passing to Dan Lyman on a play that covered 40 yards.

sen. McCarthy CENSURED ON TWO CHARGES

REPORT BY WATKINS C OMMITTEE MADE PUBLIC ON MONDAY WASHINGTON. Sept 27 - • UP) The Watkins Committee v as expected to criticize Sen. Joseph R McCarthy today in a 60.COO-word report on the censure charges* against the controversial senator. The politically explosive document was kept top secret pendng i*s official release to the public this morning. But reports circulated that it raps McCarthy on at least two censure counts: 1. Tiiat he abus*’d his fellow senators with “vulgar and base” words when he called Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson, R-N. J.. for example a “living miracle without brains or guts.” 2. Tiiat lie "contemptuously” refused to comply with a request to appear before a Senate Elections subcommittee that was investigating his finances in 1951-

52.

The committee did not specifirally recommend tiiat the Senat • vote to censure McCarthy when it returns to consider the issue Nov. 8. But chairman Arthur V. Watkins, R-Utah, said the report is something that can be voted I “up or down.” Insiders disclosed that the committeemen reached unanimous “conclusions” on all five of Uio general censure charges they studied and that these concludons could be considered recommendations on which the Senate might act. They said, nbwever, that the group had a great deal of trouble trying to resolve the issues involved m the charge that McCarthy “unlawfully” obtained and ns d information from a confidential FBI loyalty report. Baby Sitter, Boy Brutally Slain SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sent 27 (TTPi—Police believed today that a pretty teen-ager apparently knew the tall thin man who fataily stabbed her and the four-year-old boy she was minding.

The victims il n were beaten with a hammer after death. An unidentified neighbor told police she saw a thin man about six feet tall and wearing a feR bet admitted to the Goldberg home shortly before the killings are believed to have taken place Saturday night.
