Counsel Quits
Investigation Army
McCarthy Row
WASHINGTON, UP) — Samuel
P. Sears, Boston lawyer, with
drew Tuesday as the special coun
sel for a Senate investigation of
the McCarthy-Army row.
With his impartiality under
question, Sears offered his resig
nation and the Senate Investiga
tions subcommittee accepted it by
a unanimous 6-0 vote.
Sears, 58-year-old past presi
dent of the Massachusetts Bar
Association, had been chosen for
the job only last week.
At that time, public hearings
on the charges exchanged by Sen.
McCarthy and Army officials were
tentatively set to begin next Mon
day.
The resignation of Sears rubs
out any prospect that the hear
ings can begin then as the sub
committee is back again looking
for a special counsel.
Sears was unanimously selected
for the post of special counsel
last week. But after the appoint
ment, it developed that Boston
newspapers had quoted him in
1952 as hailing McCarthy’s re-el
ection and praising McCarthy’s
“great job” in driving Commun
ists from the government.
After the session, Sears met
with reporters and read a state
ment.
“I am completely satisfied in
my own mind,” Sears said, “that
I am thorouhgly competent to
conduct the pending inquiry o'b
jeciively, impartially and in fair
ness to all. It is not in my blood
to do otherwise . . .”
But, he added, “I have come to
the resolute conclusion that I
should not serve.”
cause of their small numbers.
Since 1900 the tribe has number
ed only 65 or fewer and the area
claimed is more than 352,000
acres, the government argued.
The Indians contended they
had full ownership prior to the
sale of Alaska to the United States
in 1867.
Airlines File Exceptions
To CAB Recommendations
On Routes to The Orient
WASHINGTON, UPl-Two air
lines—Northwest and Transocean
—filed exceptions Tuesday to a
Civil Aeronautics Board exam
iner’s recommendations on the
routes they should operate across
the Pacific and in the Orient.
Northwest disagreed with vir
tually every conclusion of exam
iner Thomas L. Wrenn. The air
line said his proposal would:
1. Cancel its route to Hawaii
from the Pacific Northwest and
give Pan - American World Air
ways exclusive rights to that
route.
2. Permit Pan American to par
allel Northwest’s Great Circle
Route over the North Pacific to
the Orient.
3. Deprive Northwest of its
route between Chicago and Min
neapolis-St. Paul to Alaska by
way of Edmonton, Alta.
Northwest said Pan American
already holds the central Pacific
and south Pacific routes to the
Orient, and the granting of north
Pacific routes would give Pan
American “a virtual monopoly of
Pacific air travel.”
Transocean Air Dines, Oakland,
California, a non-scheduled air
line, also took exception to the
examiner’s findings against its
petition for authority to conduct
scheduled services across the Pa
cific.
