Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Votes
To Recommend Warren For Chief
Justice After Row Over Charges
WASHINGTON. UP)—A Senate -
Judiciary subcommittee voted on |
Saturday to recommend to the full
committee favorable action on
Earl Warren’s nomination to be
chief justice of the United States.
Chairman Langer (R-NDi said
the vote to make a favorable rec
ommendation was not unanimous,
but he declined to disclose the
vote.
Sen. Walker (R-Idaho), a mem
ber of the full committee who sat
in on the closed session, told a
reporter, however, that the vote
was unanimous.
“I know what I’m talking
about,” Welker said. '
A furious row boiled up in the
subcommittee Friday after un
checked charges against Warren,
former Republican governor of
California, were placed in the
public record.
The charges were placed in the
public record on Langer’s order.
The four other members of the
subcommittee disclaimed any ad
vance knowledge of the plan. |
Langer said the full Judiciary |
Committee would meet Wednes- |
day to consider Warren’s nomina- !
tion, submitted to the Senate by ■
President Eisenhower on Jan. 11.
Sen. Eastland <D-Miss\ first to
leave th subcommi tee’s closed
sesLon, s id the fiv?-member
gri up recommended confirmation
of Warren .j the full Judiciary
Committee without objection.
But Langer later told reporters
he had voted “merely to refer this
to the full committee for action.” j
Sen. Eastland had described the
sensational charges against War
ren as a “lot of rubbish.” Sen.
Watkins (R-Utah) also had de
nounced them as “a lot of tommy
rot.”
At a meeting Friday, called by
Langer, the subcommittee public
ly spread on the record charges it
said it had received. Among these
were allegations that Warren had
followed the Marxist line, had ap
pointed dishonest judges to office,
and had been under the control of
“a notorious liquor lobbyist.”

read into the record a summary
by the committee staff of 10
charges made by persons who op
posed Warren’s nomination.
Smithey said the staff had not
tried to establish the truth or fal
sity of the charges but only listed
those which, if true, “would ap
pear to be . .. within the investi
gatory jurisdiction of the com
mittee.”
Watkins and Senate Republican
Leader Knowland of California
interposed protests against this
procedure, and the open, televi
sion-filmed meeting soon after
ward broke up in a row.
Knowland later called the pro
ceedings “the most shocking event
I have observed in my eight years
in the Senate.”
And Vice President Nixon, also
of California, said in a statement
to newsmen that the charges
against against Warren were
“completely fantastic and patent
ly false.”
He added that the Judiciary
Committee “rather than wasting
its time investigating the charges
could well spend some time inves
tigating those who made them.”

Wisconsin Schoolboy Gets
White Mountain Spruce
For All-State Puzzle
A schoolboy of Beloit, Wis.,
wrote recently to Nome Builders
as lumber dealers to supply him
with a piece of real Alaska wood
as he was making a jigsaw puzzle
with natural wood from each
state for each piece of the map
puzzle.
Jack Reed puzzled a while as to
what real Alaskan wood he might
send. He debated between the
Yenney trees ((willow) and last
year s Christmas tree from White
Mountain (spruce).
We understand he finally sent
the spruce.

Kotzebue Woman
Drives Dogs To
Save Husband
KOTZEBUE, UP)—Not all Eski
mos know how to run a dog team
—Bertha George learned the hard
way.
The young woman’s feat of en
durance took her over 30 miles of
frozen tundra in far below zero
weather in the dead of the arotic
night, running most of the dis
tance behind a team hauling her
burned husband, Raymond, to the
nearest village.
She probably saved his life,
physicians at the Alaska Native
Service hospital here report. He
has a good chance of complete
recovery and another trapping
season in the wilderness.
Her story:
They were trapping alone on
the Seward Peninsula. She was
awakened by an explosion and his
screams. She jumped from under
her heavy reindeer robes and saw
him enveloped in flames. A gaso
line tank had exploded.
She pushed him out of the tent
into a snowbank and rolled him
about until the fire was snuffed
out. She rubbed his scorched flesh
with butter and tore strips from
her cwti clothing to make ban
dages.
With no previous experience
handling nine unruly malemutes,
she managed to hitch them to the
sled, and place her half-conscious
husband aboard. Then began her
wild run for help.
The trail was rough. Steep down
grades threatened several times to
upset them. Using all her young
strength, she rode the brake on
downgrades and ran behind, push
ing, much of the way.
Finally they reached the near
est village, and help.
