Solon Asks McCarthy '
Leave Subcommittee;
During Army Inquiry
WASHINGTON ( Sen Sym
ington D-Mo) suggested Satur
day night that Sen. McCarthy (R
Wis) step off his investigations sub
committee temporarily or let some
other group determine the "ques
tions of veracity" between McCar
thy and the Army.
'The good name of the Senate is
Involved," Symington said.
Symington, one of three Demo
crats on McCarthy's subcommittee,
said that if the Wisconsin senator
and his three Republican col
leagues insist that McCarthy ap
pear in the "triple role of accusing
fitness, .prosecutor and judge,"
Blue Monday
DueforW.U.
Soohomores ,
(Story also on Page One
There were a lot of cheetOrom
the senior section of Willamette
University's Freshman Glee as
sembled contestants ,when it was
announced that the class of 1954
had won its fourth straight vic
tory. ; i ,
And there were tears among the
students too some for joy and
some sadness for, of course,
someone had to lose. This , year
, the fourth-placing sophomores will
swim the Mill Stream during Blue
Monday" tomorrow.
There seemed to be some pre-
oicnon in one oi me semor yam
dies which proclaimed, musically,
"We II take those poor sopns,
down by the river's side . . ."
And so they shall when, tradition
ally, the Blue Monday proceed
ings on campus tomorrow will re
sult in a swim in the Mill Stream
for sophomores. Saved from a
watery dip; .but probably due for
other fun paying Glee bets for not
winning, will be the junior class
which; placed second and the
freshmen bringing up a third.
Ratings Given
Judges rated the student per
formers this way: Out of a pos
sible 360 i points. seniors306.8:
juniors-298.7; freshmen 271.3, and
sophomores-238.9. Words were
judged by Mrs. Florence Hutch
enson. Phillippe da la Mare and
John C. Peery. Music was rated by
Kenneth Schilling, Prof. T. S. Ro
erts and Robert B. Walls. Presen
tation came under judging surveil
lance of Robert M. Putnam. Theo
dore Kratt, Miss Gretchen Kream
r and Prof. W Herman Clark.
As is the annual habit, the win
ning class re-sang its winning
- song, but for the first time since
193S the victors also sang their
four previous years of winning
songs.
Letterman Sweaters
Seniors, who came into the
field- of musical competition in
caps and gowns amid "Pomp and
Circumstance," removed their
gowns to reveal letterman sweat
ers for most of the men and dark
blue skirts and sweaters for the
women. Their winning formation
-i was a streal- of lightning.
Second place juniors portrayed
a pennant on the stage and sang
their song, "Bearcats to Vic
tory!" The freshman third place
song was "Mighty Bearcats" and
the sophomore song was entitled.
"Beat 'era. Bearcats!"
There seemed obvious indica
tions of cadence ability by males
marching during Saturday night's
competition and many students
admitted that Air Force ROTC
marching did them in good stead.
Women students did a commend
able job of marching, too.
Fife and Drum
'Juniors employed a unique en
trance to the gymnasium when
they were preceded by fife and
- spirit oi oo.
The three lower classes made
light of the "aging . . . and slow"
seniors and especially made mis
tical jest of the fact that no sen
ior class had won Glee for the
past five years. 1
Glee Manager William Wheat
gave his report to the assembled
audience preceding the perform-
man class president . After the
four classes had sung their songs
and given their formations, en
tertainment was orovided while
judges conferred. Student Tom
Larson sang From the Day We
Met," an original song composed
by Lizbeth Shields and Larson. A
x ne song is stated lor early pno-
Gamma Quartet sang several
numbers and the campus German
s Band played several Dixieland
numbers. Dr. Daniel H. Schuhe,
V 'in traditional form, teased stu
dents and audience, for several
long minutes prior to making the
official announcement of win
ners. '

Prefers to Say.
McCarthy, informed U Oklaho
ma ,City of Symington's sugges
tion, said his "present thought" is
that in any case he will want to
cross-examine every witness who
appears before the subcommittee.
If they tell under oath the same
story they have so far, he added,
the case will go to a grand jury.
"There is no reason why any
one should fear my cross-examination
unless they are ! guilty of
perjury," McCarthy said.
He also said that he had offered
to submit himself to cross-examination.
Symington's' proposal appeared
to take Sen. Mundt (R-SD) by sur
prise, I
"I have not talked to Joe about
this." ' Mundt said, meaning Mc
Carthy. :
Acing Chairman j "
Mundt is acting chairman of the
subcommittee in McCarthy's ab
sence on a speaking trip. McCarthy
has agreed that. Mundt take over
the chairmanship while the group
is conducting its proposed investi
gation of conflicting charges ex
changed between McCarthy and his
staff on the one hand and Secre
tary of the Army Stevens and his
aides on the other, f j
Previous suggestions that the in
vestigation be transferred to some
other Senate committee,! however.
have met firm resistance by Mc
Carthy, who insists that his sub
committee will take care fit its own
affairs. j
Mundt spent part of the day in a
mysterious quest for a special
counsel to direct the subcommit
tee's projected probe ( its own
chairman and his differences with
officials of the Army Department
Mundt and Sen. McClellan of Ar
kansas, senior Democrat on the
subcommittee, settled oil a "na
tional prominent attorney," not
otherwise identified, who 'apparent
ly was taken aghast at the idea
but who promised to think it over.
Mundt declined to identify the
top choice, other than to say he
was a lawyer living outside of
Washington and was not govern
ment service. If he declines the
job, Mundt said his name will not
be announced. j
In an official report, the Army
has accused McCarthy and some
members of the subcommittee staff
of using improper pressure in ef
forts to win special favors for Pvt.
G. David Schine, wealthy New
York draftee and former subcom
mittee aide. j
McCarthy has countercharged
that Stevens and John G. Adams,
assistant counsel to the Army,
sought to use the drafting of Schine
in a "blackmail" scheme to block
the subcommittee's Investigation of
Reds in the Army. Schine was a
non-salaried consultant to the sub
committee until he was drafted last
November.
Doudas on
Muddy Hike
Along Canal
ALONG THE C & O CANAL IN
WESTERN MARYLAND OH Su
preme Court Justice William O.
Douglas and his 33 walking com
panions, muddy of foot and slight
ly damp, reached the Cardinal
Club Saturday, first stop on their
184-mile hike to Washington. D. C.
They made the 14 miles from
their starting point in about four
hours, including a 45-minute rest
over at Oldtown. And since the
day was still young, Douglas and
about 20 of the heartier hikers
struck out for Paw Paw, W. Va..
about five miles farther! along the
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Although this was the first day
of spring, it wasn't apparent to
the hikers walking along the nar
row canal tow path made muddy
by nearly an inch of ram Friday,
It was cold and drizzling most
of the way. !
Saturday night's resting-place,
an exclusive hunting and tfishing
lodge in southeastern Alleghany
County, marked the end of the
shortest hop of the long trek.
The hike, expected to take eight
days, resulted from a challenge by
Justice Douglas to editorial writers
Merlo Pusey and Robert Esta
brook of the Washington Post and
Times Herald. - i
They had written editorials favor
ing a federal parkway along the
unused, government-owned canal.
But Douglas protested! the idea,
saying it would mar the natural
beauties of the area.f He chal
lenged them to walk it with him
and see for themselves.! Pusey and
Estabrook quickly accepted and
naturalists and other outdoor en
thusiast decided to tag along. -

Two Columbia County author
ities got more of a drive Satur
day than they had originally bar
gained for when they left SL Hel
ens to bring Harold Robert Keith
to the State Prison only to be
turned away.
Keith, whose home is listed as
Vernonia, finally had to be
placed in the Marion County jail
when complications started pop
ping up. Marion County Sheriff
Denver Young explained it this
way:
It seems that the Columbia
County prisoner : was released
from the state penitentiary last
Feb. 17 on parole. He had origin
ally been committed to the pris
on June 12, 1952, to serve five
years for threatening the com
mission of a felony..
Shortly after his parole last
month, Keith was re-arreted n
a charge of parole violation and
returned to the penitentiary' Sat
urday. When the Columbia County
deputies brought the man to the
penitentiary they were . turned
back because there was an error
in the prisoner's I papers in that
the specific charge for Ms re-arrest
had not been listed. This re
sulted in the authorities leaving
the prisoner in the care of the
county and they then drove back
home to get the papers cleared.
Warden Clarence T. Gladden
said Saturday night that such
happenings are not uncommon.

Poison Gas
Made,' Stored
In Rockies
DENVER (J) - A new weapon
in a class with atom and hydrogen
bombs is being made and stored
at' the Rocky Mountain Arsenal
near Denver.
IX. CoL S. J. Efnor, deputy com
manding officer at the arsenal,
confirmed Saturday that deadly
GB gas, which can cause death in
30 seconds, is made behind the ar
senal's windowless walls.
It is known that Russia has the
gas, first developed by Hitler's
Nazi scientists, because the Red
army took the German plant in its
push across the "German-Polish
border in World War II.
Surrounded by elaborate safety
precautions, the workers' at the ar
senal turn out the deadly chemi
cals in liquid form, packed in fin
ished munitions ready for use.
In gas form, the killer can't be
seen, tasted or smeiied. Its pres
ence in an attack could go undis
covered unless a droplet spattered
on a victim in liquid form.
Production of the killing gas
first was disclosed Friday night by
the Rocky Mountain News, Denver
morning newspaper; and further
details came Saturday from the
Denver Post.
"Potential military value of GB
gas," the Post said, "is greater,
in some respects, than even the
atomic weapons.
"Using it under the most favor
able wind, weather and saturation
conditions, . an invader ' can wipe
out life in a city and take it over
intact ' its industries, utilities,
transportation and power plants
ready to be used again in a few
hours, instead of being ruined and
radioactive."
The gas was described as so
deadly it could leave its victim
practically ; helpless after one
breath.
Chemists say there is an anti
dote atrophine, a chemical de
rived from a plant grown mostly
in countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. American chemisti have
learned to produce the substance
synthetically for use through hypo
dermic injections.
