Sdid indicate an opinion as to

the ramifications of the hearing.
What follows are statements from
some of McCarthy's senatorial
jury.
Statement of Senator Wayne
Morse (Ind.-Ore.):
"The report of the Select Com-
mittee to Study Censure Charges
appointed by the Senate to investi-
gate the various charges against
Senator McCarthy has left no room
for doubt about the fact that Mc-
Carthy has conducted himself in a
manner unbecoming a Senator.
"The report of the Committee
will unquestionably support the
adoption of a resolution to censure
by the Senate. I am gratified that
in several particulars the findings
of the Committee support the docu-
mentation submitted by me at the
outset of the hearings."
Senator Sam Reynolds (R-
Neb.) replied that "I am al-
ready on record on tue floor of
the Senate as stating that Com-
munists and their fellow travel-
ers can get no sympathy out of
any vote I cast. Just advise me
bow the Communists would like
Senat(r Reyolds to vote and I
will vote the sisher way."
Accordin. to Senator William
Jenner (R-Ind.); "The attack on
Senator McCarthy is not a personal
attack. It is the front line of a'can-
tinning attack on the United States

Congress which will end only in
the destruction of the Communists
or of the Congress."
Jenner continued, "It is my be-
lief that Congress must now take
cognizance of this unremitting
campaign to destroy it.
"The Select Committee has care-
fully analyzed the evidence before
it, but the most important evidence
was not included. This is the fact
that the Communist world conspir-
acy is engaged in an unremitting
attempt to destroy the political in-
stitutions of the United States, es-
pecially the Congressional Investi-
gating Committees, and the princi-
pal spokesman for the Communist
apparatus have frankly put the dis-
crediting of Senator McCarthy at
the top of a program which con-
cerns every member of Congress."
Senator George Smathers (D-
Fla.) comments that "The issue
was clearly presented, the facts
objectively and quietly gathered,
the evidence from both sides heard
in public meeting, the evidence
weighed by judicial men in a judi-
cial atmosphere. I believe that the
great majority of the Senate is
convinced, just as I am, that it
would be completely illogical to
turn our backs upon our own com-
mittee."
In regard to the expected deet-
sion Smathers added: "It will be
one of the Senate's finest hours,
sustaining the American tradition
of fair play and fairhanded Jus-
tice."
