Mc Carran tD-Nevj said Friday the Senate Investigations Subcommit tee headed by Sen. McCarthy (R Wis), in lis lar-ilung Red hunts, "has ttepped over into a field where it was not intended to func tion at all." "I don't say it hasn't done good work occnuse 1 think it has," lcCarnm said, but he added in an interview that the Senate In ternal Security Subcommittee "can ao all the work necessary on the Senate side'' in investigating sub versive activities. McCarran headed the Internal Security Subcommittee until the Republicans iook comrol ol Con gress last January and Sen. Jen ner R-Ind, became chairman. The Ncvacmn still is the senior Democrat in the group. At Miami, Sen. McCarthy said he had "no argument whatever" with Sen. McCarran's statement. But he said his subcommittee has been very careful to check with the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee so there will be no duplication of effort. "Our committee, it is true, was nofset up to investigate commu nism," said McCarthy, vacationing with his bride at the same Miami hotel where Vice Pres. Richard Nixon is staying. "And digging out communism is not our primary purpose. If In our investigations we find subver sive elements In government which would prevent the government lrom operating properly, and no other congressional group is in Mother of Returning POW Has Happiest New Year's KERMIT.

March Of Dimes To Be Held The dime the smallest coin In si7,e in United Statps currency ' starts its annual march for the' prevention of polio Saturday, Jan. 2. '.'.''. Last year the local chapter spent SIO.OOO on Just one case nlone in Xlamuth Falls youna Dorthclla Rose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orval Rose, 2318 California Ave. Compare that figure with the $12, 000 contributed to Infantile Paralysis last year, half of which goes to the national foundation. March of Dimes research in the .past has proven the value of gamma globulin as a temporary protective against paralytic polio; has developed a polio vaccine that will undergo extensive field studies during 1954, and the March of Dimes continues to give help to victims of the crippling infantile paralysis. The .1954 drive has been broken into three segments, according 4o W. A, Huggins, Klamath County campaign chairman. Proceeds from the drive will go for patient care, rehabilitation and research. This year, from tho dimes. 1,250,000 youngsters all over the nation will be inoculated, in an ex periment which will cost about $29 million. If the experiment is suc cessful, the vaccine will be on the market next year to satisfactorily slop polio, as vaccines have done with diphtheria and Rinattpox. Tlic local drive will be conducted through five channels; u ad vanced gills, under the chairman ship of Elton Smith; (21 special events, headed by Bob and Tom Perkins; (3) direct mall, Dick Gal lagher, who Is also Klamath Palls City drive chairman, and Alice Vitus; (4) coin collectors, which will be distributed by Explorer Scouts and American Legion Post No. 8, under the direction of John llcllbronuer and Dwight Curran; (5 Mothers' Mnrch, chairman of which will be announced later.

Pat is one of the great est senators we ever had and I have unlimited respect for him The Internal Security Subcommit tee under Pat and Jenner has done fiood work." In the new session of Congress starting Wednesday, both the Mc Carthy and the Jenner investigat ing units will be forced to see uaditional funds from the Senate. Their spending authority will ex pire Jan 31. McCarran said nothing about at tempting to place any curbs on the activities of McCarthy, with whom he oltcn has swapped comp liments, and emphasized there was nothing personal in his remarks. He said his Interest was in see ing that the Internal Security Suo committee is adequately financed and staffed for the job assigned it by the Internal Security Act of i950 a law which he sponsored. He dismissed as impractical a proposal advanced by some mem bers of Congress for a joint Senate-House committee to handle all investigations of subversive activi ties. "Joint committees never get anywhere, and I am opposed to them," he said. "There is plenty of room for ac tivity by committees of both houses in the internal security field." "If something should be done about McCarthy, why don't the Republicans do it? It's not our problem." Batchelor said when newspaper men told her that her son was ready for repatriation. . "It's the best news I have ever heard," the Jubilant father said. Both wore reached at a bus sta tion in Odessa, Tex., last night where the west Texas oil well drill er has gone to meet his wife, re turning home here after a visit. Batchelor was one of 22 POWs who had steadfastly refused repa triation during the 90-day explana tion period. He said he had feared for his life, that many of the other 21 prisoners carried daggers. At the little frame house here where the Batchelors live, nobody was at home yesterday but 11-year-old Kenneth, the POW's young brother, when newsmen delivered the news. "That's really good news," said the little boy. "I sure am happy. I want him to come home real soon." On Christmas Eve, Mrs. Batche lor tearfully had said that "only a miracle" could bring her boy home. The Batchelors spent a sad Christmas with the belief their son had chosen communism, instead of repatriation. "I Just feel like shouting here in this bus station," Mrs. Batchelor said last night after her bus ar rived in Odessa and she was joined by her husband. "I didn't know a thing about what happened. It's the answer to my prayers. I Just thank God." She paused a minute, and then told a newspaperman by tele phone; , "My husband and I are Just standing here bawling like kids."

Honest Work Held Longevity Answer GREAT FALLS, Mont, lfl While most people start out today on a new year, Jacquc French Celestlne will have a firm grip on a new century. Celestlne, a bachelor, who re tired from shepherding 10 years ago because he was "getting a lit tle old," turned 101 as 1954 began. The slight, mentally spry cen tenarian told a reporter his recipe for longevity is honest, hard work. "Ood turned Adam and Eve out. He told them to go out and work the rest of their days." he said, adding wistfully: "I wish I could still work." Visitor Gets More Than Visit PUEBLO.
