THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1954 PAGE SEVEN WATKINS BARS DIVERSIONS IN MCCARTHY CASE WASHINGTON OP Sen. McCarthy insisted Thurs. there was nothing wrong about any of his calls tor government employes to give him information and his counsel icught to show other senators have used secret data. Chairman Watkins (R--Utah) oi A 'Jfit special Senate i censuie charges against McCarthy ruled, however, that the group would not look into the activities of other senators. Edward Bennett Williams, McCarthy's attorney, protested that the ruling "has effectively prevented us from putting in a defense to this case." Cause Of Ruling The specific point which led to Watkins' ruling was an effort by Williams and McCarthy to have the record show that Sen.

John Williams (R--Del) has stated that in his exposure of tax frauds he used eecret information which came into his hands. A defense brief said Sen. Williams was quoted in a magazine Interview (U.S. News World Report) as making such a statement Ruling it out, Watkins held that the defense was leading into "bypaths and diversions" in attempting to "how what other senators had tone iii connection with Senate investigations. McCarthy Objects The chairman said that if his committee started looking into the activities of other senators the senators in question would have to be called and it would take "hours and days" to do this.

Prom the witness chair, McCarthy appealed to Watkins not to expedite the hearings "at the expense" of his defense. He said he was being "precluded" from making an adequate defense presentation by the ruling. Watkins said tfie committee could review the ruling behind floors later but he argued that "if we ever let down the bars" Legion Commander Favors Red Break BEDFORD, Pa.

and start exploring precedents for McCarthy's actions the hearings could drag out for months.

ANNUAL OF ANTHRACITE HITS NEW LOW WASHINGTON Wl--The 1953 production of anthracite was the lowest annual output since 1881, the U.S.

Bureau of Mines reports. The bureau placed 1953 production at about 31 million net tons, a drop of 24 per cent compared with 1952. The Just-i report said "among the factors principally responsible for the sharp break in production were continued strong competition from petroleum and natural gas in the space-heating field, the virtual disappearance of markets, in the western European countries, and a drop of 28 per cent in exports to Canada." Aggravates Problem It said another contributing factor was the warmer-than-oormal winter. Noting that decling sales and production led to lower employment, tiius aggravating an already serious unemployment problem in the hard coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania, the bureau said: The average number of days worked declined to 163, the lowest since 1932. To minimize the effect of fixed and capital costs upon production, mining was suspended or curtailed at some high-cost deep mines, with an accompanying shift of emphasis to the production of relatively larger quantities of coal from lower-cost and more efficidnt integrated Production Changes This change, it said, resulted in fewer active operations but was effective in that "the increased output per man pee day (rose) from 3.06 tons in 1952 to 3.28 in 1953," a new record for the industry.

Conditions were represented also in production changes, the report noted. "Anthracite underground declined from 61 per cent of total production in 1952 to 58 per cent. Stop pit production from 28 per cent of the 1952 total to 28 per cent, and pro-' To Replace Agents Who Gave To GOP TRENTON, W-Atty. Gen. Grover C.

Eichman Jr. said today he soon would replace most state motor vehicle agents on the ground their organization had made political contributions.

There was no immediate comment from the association.

Richman told a news conference that the organization made a $5,278.79 contribution to the State Republican Finance Committee in 1952 and $34,757 to Paul L.
