McCarthy May Have Access to FBI Data
Washington—(U.P.)—In Sen. J. William Fulbright's opinion Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis) has indicated by his own words that he has access to FBI material.
Sen. Fulbright said in a statement that Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R.-S.D.), ranking Republican on Sen. McCarthy's Senate permanent investigating subcommittee, also has been quoted as saying that congressional committees often get "tin-offs" from the FBI.
The Arkansas Democrat's statement was a reply to a charge yesterday by Sen. McCarthy that Sen.Fulbright had made an "irresponsible, vicious and damaging attack" on the FBI.
Sen. McCarthy said Sen. Fulbright had stated he would withhold information on subversives from the FBI because it was available to Sen. McCarthy. Sen. Fulbright declared he did not say that.
"Obviously, in the unlikely event that I would obtain such information, I would promptly transmit it to the FBL." he said.
"Nor did I 'attack' the FBI, as Sen. McCarthy states. It may be that Sen. McCarthy is unable to discern that a Senator may make a statement without its being an 'attack."
He said he had expressed his personal opinion that the McCarthy subcommittee somehow had obtained information from FBI files, possibly through other agencies having access to FBI material.
Sen. Fulbright said Sen. McCarthy in recent hearings on Ft. Monmouth, N.J., indicated he knew what witnesses had told the FBI. In Senate debate, Feb. 2, Sen. McCarthy twice indicated he had access to FBI material, Sen. Fulbright added.
He said Sen, Mundt was quoted in the Salt Lake City Tribune last Nov. 22, as saying the FBI often tips congressional committees to cases where it has evidence of communism but lacks material to justify an indictment.
The fact that Sen. McCarthy has offered to step down temporarily as chairman of the committee during the Army hearings still is being looked upon by some with apprehension.
Sen. McCarthy said he has no objection to another Senator taking over the chair during the hearings, but he wants to retain the right to cross-examine witnesses.
This leaves the question of Sen. McCarthy's role—especially whether he will step down from the subcommittee—very much unresolved and potentially the group named yesterday to recommend ground rules for the inquiry.
Meanwhile, there were these other developments in the controversy:
1. Sen. McCarthy suffered a re-buff late yesterday when he called a subcommittee meeting for today

on Communist infiltration of defense plants. He pleaded that the "blownup" Cohn affair has been holding up the group's work but two Republicans and two Democratic members refused to be side-tracked and Sen. McCarthy cancelled the sessioin.
2. Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson indicated at a news conference that the Army has compiled a new report on whether Pet. G. David Schine, the drafted McCarthy investigator, actually did receive favorable treatment as a result of the alleged pressure applied by Mr. Cohn and Sen. McCarthy. Mr. Wilson also said the row is a "most unfortunate matter" and urged newsmen to turn to "important news."
U. S. Officials Order Haymes to Argentina
Washington — (U.P.)— Singer Dick Haymes today was ordered deported to his native Argentina.
The order was based on charges that Mr. Haymes was ineligible to re-enter the continental United States after making a trip to Hawaii last June to see his present wife, Rita Hayworth. Attorney General Herbert Brownnell Jr., said the deportation order was issued by Special Inquiry Officer Joseph A. Dummel of the immigration service after Mr. Haymes was given a hearing.

3. The Army disclosed that it has recalled Maj. Gen. Miles Reber from Germany for possible service as a witness in the investigation. According to the Army report of the case, the Army's former legislative liaison chief last July received a telephone call from Sen. McCarthy saying he was "very interested in securing a direct commission" for Pvt. Schine.
4. The NBC network announced that it will televise all hearings in the controversy. ABC said it, too, would carry the sessions but that its plans are not complete.

Chavez to Stay in Senate Despite Contested Election
Washington—(U.P.)—The long Republican effort to oust Democrat Dennis Chavez of New Mexico from the Senate was entered finally in the record today as a failure. $ \textcircled{4} $
It began 15 months ago when Republican Patrick J. Hurley, his opponent, charged that Sen. Chevez' re-election to the Senate was illegal because of widespread fraud and other irregularities in the New Mexico balloting of Nov. 1952.
It ended on the Senate floor late yesterday with a surprisingly strong vote, 53 to 36, which said in effect that Sen. Chavez was the legal victor and entitled to keep the Senate seat he has occupied for 19 years.
The resolution proposed to unseat Sen. Chavez by declaring that neither he nor Mr. Hurley was the winner and the senatorial balloting in New Mexico was "no election."
It was based on a $200,000 investigation by a Senate elections subcommittee. The Republican majority of the subcommittee said the voting, in which Sen. Chavez received 5,000 more votes than Mr. Hurley, was "so permeated with
fraud" it was impossible to tell who actually won.
Five Republicans and Independent Wayne Morse (Ore.) joined Sen. Chavez' 47 Democratic colleagues who voted solidly against the resolution in their most impressive show of strength this session.
Sen. Chavez could have voted, but he abstained. When it was finished, he issued a statement claiming vindication for himself and his state.
