Sen. Long (D La), presiding in the absence of Vice President Nix on, first ordered McCarthy to take his seat after the Wisconsin Republican asserted that some Dem ocrats voted for the anti Communist resolution "to get the dirt out of their hands." In even tones, Long called Mc arthy to order.

He said McCarthy had called other senators "in sincere," In violation of Rule 19 which says no senator in debate shall Impute to another "any con duct or motive unworthy or unbe coming a Chamber Fills Quickly It was the first time McCarthy had taken part In Senate debate since his colleagues voted 67 22 last Dec. 2 to condemn some of his official conduct. Only a handful of senators were on the floor when McCarthy sat down under his first reprimand. The chamber began to fill quickly, however, when he bounced back on his feet to engage in an ex change with Sen. Kuchel (R Calif).

Kuchel had praised Long for en forcing Senate rules, saying every member of the Senate should watch his words and maintain the chamber's dignity. McCarthy said he was "fully and completely convinced" that among those who voted for the anti Communist resolution were senators who were "opposed to digging up Communists." "Mud On Skirts" They were trying "to get the stench from their hands and the mud from their skirts" McCarthy said, and that was the real reason they voted in favor of the resolution. Before he made his second statement, the Wisconsin senator said he knew he might bt seated for what he was going to say.

S. airmen immediately. The President issued a formal statement commenting on the mission of Dag Hammarskjold, United Nations secretary general who went to Peiping to appeal for the airmen's release. "Progress Has Been Made" The President noted that Ham marskjold believes progress has been made toward obtaining the freedom of the men and other UN personnel and that the way is open for further efforts. "We must support the United Na tions in its efforts," the President said, "so long as those efforts hold out any promise of success." The United States, he declared, will not "fall into a Communist trap and through impetuous words or deeds endanger the lives of those imprisoned airmen who wear the uniform of our country." Allied Blockade Favored There were reports that one of the President's main purposes in issuing the statement was to head off any hot utterances from members of Congress at this juncture.

Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader, and some other legislators have advocated a blockade of Red China if necessary to obtain the prisoners' release. Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on returning Tuesday from a trip around the world that he would favor an Allied blockade if less drastic measures fail.

There was no immediate comment, tonight from Knowland or Radford. Congressmen Show Anger In Congress, however, the Presi dent's action in some instances waa a bit late. Although somewhat subdued, most members of Congress left no doubt but that they were not only disappointed but somewhat angry over the handling of the case.
