McCarthy, Busy In
Germany, Rebukes
James B. Conant
WASHINGTON, UP— Sen. Mc
Carthy (R - Wis) went after the
scalp of another top U.S. propa
gandist in Germany Tuesday. But
he declined to say whether he
also will seek the dismissal of
James B. Conant, U.S. High Com
missioner for Germany.
McCarthy clashed with Conant
at a Senate Appropriations Com
mittee hearing Monday and told
the former Harvard University
president:
“I have no objection to you as
an educator, (but) I frankly think
you are not doing a good job as
► the High Commissioner.”
McCarthy demanded the recall
from Germany of Lowell M. Clu
cas, U.S. Information Officer in
Munich, to submit to questioning
before his* Senate Investigating
Committee. It has been investi
gating the overseas information
program.
Conant drew McCarthy’s wrath
by declaring he has no intention
of firing Clucas, and by defending
both Clucas and Theodore Kag
han, former Deputy Public Affairs
Director for the State Department
in Western Germany. McCarthy
termed both of them “bad security
risks.”
Clucas in Munich said he was
“at the committee’s disposal.”
As for McCarthy’s characteriza
tion of him as “a twin to Kaghan,”
Clucas remarked:
“I can hardly describe that as
a charge.”
Kaghan recently resigned under
McCarthy’s fire.
KIDS STEAL EXPLOSIVES
ANCHORAGE, UP — Military
authorities at Mountain Home dis
closed Monday that a large quan
tity of explosives had been stolen
from the installation, presumably
by children.
They warned parents of the
Anchorage area that the missing
items include two cases of TNT,
electric blasting caps and primer
cord.
All-Night Prayers
Seek To Defeat
Race Track Vote
FORREST CITY, Arkansas, UP!
— All-night prayer meetings in
four churches ended here at 7 a.m.
Tuesday as ministers made a final
appeal to the 6,097 voters in St.
Francis County to defeat an east
Arkansas horse race track propos
al at the polls.
Anti-race track forces, however,
did not leave the whole job of
winning a special election on the
track to the power of prayer.
They added practical politics—
such as baby sitters for voters,
cars to haul voters to the polls,
and a telephone campaign to get
out the vote.
Tuesday’s election is the result
of a five-month campaign by the
St. Francis Valley Turf Associa
tion, which seeks to build the
track. This is the second vote
called on the horse race track is
sue in east Arkansas. Last year a
similar proposal backed by Dixie
Downs, Inc., was defeated in Crit
tenden County, just across the riv
er from Memphis, after an all
night prayer session in churches
in west Memphis and Memphis.
The Rev. T. K. Rucker, pastor
of Forrest City’s First Baptist
Church, where one' all-night pray
er meeting was held, said he be
lieved the anti-track forces would
defeat the issue by a big margin.

Make Highways Slippery
MINNEAPOLIS, UP) —Millions
of wiggling tent caterpillars
crawled onto highways in parts
of northeastern Minnesota Mon
day night, making the roads so'
slippery highway sanding crews
had to be called out.
Smashed under the wheels of
passing vehicles, the caterpillars
formed a slimy coating on roads
—especially at the crests of hills.
Highway department workers
reported layers of the pesky
worms as deep as two inches.
They said most of them came
from roadside brush areas and
ditches after heavy rains.
. A Soo Line freight train was
stopped on a slight grade near
Onamia by a combination of oily
weed spray and a covering of cat
erpillars on the tracks. The tracks
had to' be sanded before the train
could move on.
