McCarthy Draws Capehart's Vote In Censure Row
Washington — (U,P) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy drew the all-out public support of Sen. Homer E. Caphart today in his campaign to prevent his censure by the Senate next month.
But Sen. George A. Smathers (D-Fla.), a member of the Senate's powerful southern Democratic bloc, predicted anew that a "substantial majority" of the Senate will vote for McCarthy's censure.
Capehart declared that he not only will vote against the censure motion when it comes up but will defend McCarthy in the Senate floor.
"We will prove before we are through," Capehart said, "that the subcommittee which investigated Sen. McCarthy's finances was "not duly constituted." Questioned about his role as chairman of diana Republican amended his statement to "I will talk" on Sen. McCarthy's behalf.
Smathers said that after a "thorough study" of the report issued by the six-man Senate committee that investigated the censure charges that he is "prepared to vote to support this committee." He lauded the group's "splendidly judicial am painstakingly thorough" inquiy.
In a newsletter to his constituents, Smathers said that "there appears to me no reasonable course but to accept the committee's findings and I am convinced that will be the sense of the Senate."
Sen. Capehart also notified President Eisenhower that a "large" number of employees probably will have to be fired to clear up the "mess" in the scandal-rocked Federal Housing administration.
In a letter to the chief executive, made public today, Sen. Capehart said his banking committee has finished its scheduled hearings on "the biggest scandal in the history of the United States."

Jenner Wants Trade Review
Washington —(U.P.)— Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind.) said today the United States must prepare to "counter attack" against Russia's cold-war campaign to boom East-West trade.
Sen. Jenner chairman of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee, said the United States must reexamine its "entire trade policy" in the light of Russian efforts to sell its products throughout the world.
Meanwhile Commerce Secretary Sinclair Weeks disclosed that the value of goods licensed for export to the Soviet bloc in Europe was 14 times larger in the first half of 1954 than in the first half of 1953. He also said he expects an increase in such clearances during rest of this year, but that he does not expect U.S. trade with East Europe to "become significant relative to total U.S. trade."
Sen. Jenner made his statement as he made public the prized text of a group of hearings held last July. He renewed his plea for congressional action on a resolution calling for the end of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.
"The news in recent weeks has told of Russia's offer to supply India with a big steel plan; of the Kremlin's sales of cheap tractors to that same nation; of automotors, French and German, its contracts for many types of construction in Afghanistan," he said.

The MRP has said it will follow the line laid down by the Socialists, so almost 200 votes depend on the council's decision. Premier Mendres-France is assured of enough support from party members and other groups to give him a majority—if the Socialists back him.

Lawyer Seeks Lower Bail
Washington — (U.P) — Attorney David B. Kinney sought at least temporary freedom today for Sidney Petersen Jr., who has been accused of stealing defense secrets and possibly turning them over to a foreign power.
Mr. Kinney said he would file a motion in the federal court in nearby Alexandria, Va., late today de-
brying $25,000 bail be drastically reduced.
"The bail is unreasonably high as it is," he said. "This man is no longer working for the government and he is not accused of any crime of violence."
Mr. Petersen, 40-year-old research analyst, was arrested at his home in Arlington, Va., Saturday on charges of violating the espionage laws by taking documents and other information from the Defense department's hush-hush National Security agency where he worked until his recent discharge.

Dixon-Yates Pact Said TVA Threat
Washington—(U.P.)-The American Public Power association has charged that the Dixon-Yates power contract would provide a pattern for the "ultimate destruction" of the Tennessee Valley authority's power program.
"Public power," the association's official publication, called in its current issue for repudiation of the contract on grounds it is costly, represents bad government and engineering, and would hurt the nation.
The magazine's managing editor Ron Ross, said the Dixon-Yates contract would "splinter" the "yard-stick of TVA power" and "a pattern would be provided for the ultimate destruction of the entire TVA power program."
Mr. Ross said it is claimed that the "deal" will not hurt TVA's efficiency and that it will give a boost to private enterprise.
"It will be private, but it will require very little enterprise, he declared.
The American Public Power association claims to represent more than 700 local publicly-owned electric utilities throughout the nation, including the chief distributors of TVA power.
Under Dixon-Yates terms, it would feed 600,000 kilowatts of electricity a year into the TVA system.

Norfolk, Va. —(U.F)—A three-man Naval board of inquiry opens preliminary hearings today on last Thursday's sudden sinking of the ore freighter Mormackite. The disaster caused the deaths of 37 of the ship's 48-man crew.
Naval Inquiry Opens Today on Ship Disaster
Eleven survivors and 12 bodies of crewmen were brought here early yesterday by the destroyer escorts U.S.S. Bache and U.S.S. Eaton. The survivors were reported in satisfactory condition after fighting exhaustion, sunburn and sharks for more than 50 hours while clinging to make-shift rafts fashioned from boating debris.
The inquiry into the disaster will be heard by Capt. R. M. Hoyle, chief of the Fifth naval district in Norfolk. Others on the board will be Cmdr. W. J. Conley and Lt. Cmdr. M. E. Meekins.
The U.S. Coast Guard renewed the search for other possible survivors yesterday but found traces of the missing men. Blimps, planes and surface craft were sent out to search the waters about 150 miles southeast of Cape Henry, N.C., where the ship went down.
John A. Davis, utility deckman,
said Capt. Patrick J. McMahon, 38,
Valley Stream, L.I., N.Y., stayed at
his post until the ship heeled over
then was trapped and went down
with the vessel.
"The ship was at about a 60-degree angle at that time. Everybody was on deck. A wave hit hard and jarred the rest of the ore cargo over to port." Mr. Davis said. "She lay flat on her side and started going down by the stern. The captain and one A.B. (able bodied seaman, Kelder) went down with the ship," Mr. Davis said.
