Committee Proposed For McCarthy Condemnation

WASHINGTON — (JP) — A com­promise plan to hand the hot issue of condemning’ Sen. Joseph Mc­Carthy to a special committee for immediate action rolled up power-

GUATEMALA—OP)—A revolt of military cadets, backed by the army, broke out in Guatemala Monday and President Carlos Cas­tillo Armas was forced to agree to disband his irregular “liberation” forces after a day of sporadic fighting.

Representatives of Castillo Ar­mas’ ruling junta signed an agree­ment Mondd^^with delegates of the

New Bill Means More Housing

WASHINGTON — CP) — Presi­dent Eisenhower Monday signed a housing bill which he said will mean that “millions of our fami­lies with modest incomes will be able, for the first time, to buy new or used homes.”

“Families will be helped to en­large or modernize their present homes,” he added in a signing ceremony at the White House.

“It will raise the housing standards of our people, help our communities get rid of slums and improve their older neighbor­hoods, and strengthen our mort­gage credit system.”

As much as Eisenhower liked the new law, it .fell short of his request to Congress for 140,000 new low-rent public housing units, to be subsidized by the government, during the next four years.

an understanding that the Senate will get a chance to decide before the summer adjournment whether

Guatemalan regular army which apparently ended the conflict.

The agreement, signed on lines fixed by the regulars, provided for disbanding the ragged anti-Com- munist “liberation army” which in­vaded Guatemala from Honduras in June and brought Castillo Armas to power by overthrowing the left­ist regime of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman.

The fighting, which was reported to have erupted at dawn between 120 military cadets and a band of the irregulars at a house of prosti­tution, was supported later in the day by the regular army.

At 5 p.m. the army ordered a cease-fire, and said the principal points of the agreement were:

1. A government guarantee that the rebel military cadets would not be subject to punishment or re­prisals.

2. Immediate disarming and disbanding of the liberation army.

3. A guarantee by the regular army to place itself under complete jurisdiction of the government junta.

Six persons were reported killed and eighteen wounded in various encounters during the day.

Regular troops from nearby Aurora Air Base were the first to come to the support of the cadets. Normally about 500 officers and men are stationed at Aurora.

Subsequently regular forces seized control of the national radio station, and issued an ultimatum to the junta to disband the “libera­tion” army.

it wants to stay on the job to act on committee findings on a long list of charges against the '\yis- consin Senator.

Confident of the backing of Dem­ocratic leaders and middle-of-the readers in both parties, Republican Leader William F. Knowland of California said he will move to put into his motion to send the censure question to a six-man committee a requirement that it report back by Aug. 10 or before adjournment what progress it has made.

In this manner he accepted a proposal made earlier by Sen. Irving Ives (Rep.) of New York. Sen. John McClellan (Dem.) of Arkansas announced he would go along with the Knowland motion in this form.

If the committee hasn’t com­pleted its inquiry, Knowland said, the Senate “then can decide wheth­er it wishes to remain in session” until a report is ready. He has announced the Senate will have twelve or fourteen days of work ahead of it after disposing of the censure question.

For different reasons, some of the. strongest friends and foes of McCarthy still were attacking the committee’s proposition and de­manding a definite showdown now.

‘Millions’Of Casualties Predicted

WASHINGTON GT*)—Civil Defense Administrator V a 1 (Peterson says that ‘‘if the Russians attack us right now and catch the American peo­ple in the big cities that will be bombed, the casualties will run in­to millions.”

Peterson emphasized his agen­cy’s program aimed at training American citizens to evacuate cities in the event of enemy at­tack in testimony to the Senate ap­propriations committee. The testi­mony was published Monday.

He said success of the program depends on completion of a detec­tion system to give adequate warn­ing time in event of attack.

Peterson asked $85,750,000 for Civil Defense in the year which started July 1. The committee rec­ommended $57,850,000, or $13,825,- 000 more than approved by the House appropriations committee.

Peterson told the Senators “We have certain knowledge that the enemy has a growing stockpile of atomic weapons, which will con­tinue to be bolstered with hydrogen weapons.”

“I am convinced,” he said at an­other point, “and I am certain this information is correct, that the Russians have the capability of attacking the United States today both in aircraft and in bombs, that this capabiliy will increase with the passage of each six-month period.”
