McCarthy Claims Democrat Senator Accepted Red Gift WASHINGTON ( Sen. McClel lan (D-Ark) says he has asked and received the resignation of investi gator Charles Tracy, but knowt nothing of a report that fracy had information linking a Democratic senator with a campaign contribu tion from a Communist. Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) said in Milwaukee that a Democratic senator whom he refused to name had knowingly received $300 from a Communist Party official on the West Coast. He said Tracy had "stumbled onto" the information and was being fired as a result. But McClcllan said he had advised , six subcommittee staff members who had worked under McCarthy that "they would not be recommended for confirmation" in their old jobs, because "I didn't I want to retain them, period." "four of them have tendered their resignations, including Tracy" McClellan said. "I don't snow what information Tracy may have given Sen. McCarthy. It certainly wasn't made known to me." McCarthy, in Milwaukee for an address Sunday night, said in an interview he had a photographic copy of a $300 bank draft lo the unnamed senator, and added: "There is no question this senator knew from whom the money came or what hij business was... "I'm not going to name this man until he has had the opportunity of testifying under oath n to just why he accepted this money." 'HI CAME BACK' AUSTIN, Tex. W Pretty, hon-ey-blonde Dorothy Williams took the news calmly when told her , husband shot down a Russian-bulk MIG over the Yellow Sea laat week. ' - " ''He came back," she said nl Capt. George Williams. 'That's the main thing." Alito Industry Production Race Gaining Intensity DETROIT 11 .The production race in the auto industry is gaining in intensity. The industry's assembly lines currently are rolling along at a rate that if maintained throughout tne year would account for more than eight million new passenger cars in 1955. It obviously will not be maintained indefinitely. owever, most industry experts say high level production will con tinue through the first and second quarters of the year unless labor troubles intervene. Generally the experts are saying the assembly plants will build 3 V million cars in this year s January-June period. The total for all of 1955 has been variously estimated, at from 5 ,i million to 5,800,000 cars, along with about a million trucks. Unless (he unexpected happens General Mo tors, Ford and Chrysler will ac count for 90 per cent of more of the year's total. Still to be introduced are Amer ican Motors' Nash and Hudson models, Each of the latter has a new 208 horsepower V-8 eneine In some of its larger units. The engine, along with- an automatic transmis sion, is being supplied by Packard division of Studebaker-Packard. Also to offer further competition all down the line is a group of new four-door hardtop convertibles. Most of them hav been announced for about mid-March and prices already have been set. for them, , ""'5s i it"" tI JUDD'S FURNITURE and THE 4th Km- rBBBBBBBaaaVJaaaaBMaaeaBBBBBeaBaBBaBBal OCCASSIONAL TABLE SALE PRICE!
