S> WASHINGTON, i/P)—A Senate
| committee wound up its first ses
J sion inquiring into censure charg
I es against Sen. McCarthy Tues
day with the chairman banging
the Wisconsin senator into silence
and thundering he was “out of
order.”
McCarthy and his attorney, Ed
ward Bennett Williams sought to
raise the question of whether the
committee’s vice chairman, Sen.
Edwin Johnson (D-Colo) was
quoted truthfully or not in a
Denver Post story of last March.
The newspaper said Johnson, in
an interview, had declared:
“In my opinion, there is not a
man among the Democratic lead
ers of Congress who does not
loathe Joe McCarthy.”
Chairman Watkins (R-Utah)
ruled that Johnson’s right to sit
on the committee had not been
challenged and that even if it was
the committee itself couldn’t act
on it. He said the matter was ir
relevant to the hearings and that
McCarthy and Williams could get
from Johnson himself any state
ment on whether the Post quotes
were true or false.
Prior to the flareup, Johnson
had read a statement denying that
on March 12 or any other time
he had said that he personally
“loathed Senator Joseph McCar
thy.”
McCarthy spoke up to ask “are
we entitled to know whether the
quotations of March 12 are cor
rect or incorrect?”
Watkins told him he could get
that at some other place than the
hearing.
“Mr. Chairman — ” McCarthy
began again.
“Just a minute,” Watkins broke
in again. ‘You have filed no chal
lenge.”
“I should be entitled tcf know,”
McCarthy started once more.
Cracking down with his gavel,
Watkins stopped him.
“The senator,” he thundered,
“is out of order.”
McCarthy made another try.
Once again Watkins stopped
him, declaring, “We aren’t going
to be interrupted by these diver
sions and sidelines.”

Harmon. Tells Nomeites
Inadequate Welfare Funds
Require 20% Cut in Grant
(Continued from Page 1)
the entire Second Division, where
766 cases were now being admin
istered. This includes old age as
sistance for 362; 16 blind; 320
families with 762 children and 68
children under the Juvenile Code
placed in their care. Of the total,
92 percent of the work is done
through 50 field workers outside
of Nome and processed through
Nome to headquarters in Juneau.
For the month of July $43,036 was
spent in the Second Division.
Harmon explained that the case
load was greatly increased when
the 400-bed hospital opened this
year in Anchorage and parents of
many families were taken away
to be hospitalized for tuberculosis,
leaving children who must be
cared for by this department.
“The juvenile problem is a na
tional problem, and we are be
coming more conscious of its ser
iousness and the inadequate way
in which it is handled at the pres
ent time,” stated Harmon.
Although 440 children are in
cluded in this program only 74
are offenders, according to Har
mon, who also explained that
there may be more but they have
not been channelled through the
U.S. commissioner's office in the
proper manner to come under
their jurisdiction. He is opposed
to institutional delinquency car©
and stated that he personally be
lieved that individual treatment
would bring better results in most
cases.
He also explained that com
plaints to the departments must
be signed by those making the
complaint and not by the welfare
worker, who must be the one who
works with the family and the
offender.
Senator Howard Lyng deplored
the fact that due to lack of legis
lation by special session 6Vfc mil
lion dollars has accumulated in
the territorial treasury while the
aged and the dependent children
are being inadequately financed.
The Legislative Council, formed
at the last territorial legislative
session, was highly praised for the
work they were doing so that the
work of the next session can be
carried on more smoothly and in
a more comprehensive manner.
The Welfare Board continues
their meeting today, preparing
their budget for the next two
years and plan to' complete their
work if possible this evening.
Harmon will meet with the
School Hot Lunch Program Com
mittee Thursday afternoon and
endeavor to see if they qualify
for surplus food supplies already
made available to 48 schools in
the territory.
Nitroglycerin will burn quietly
if ignited in small quantities, but
explodes if heated or jarred.
