Whiteside said Schwartz knew this "was untrue prior to the time he gave his testimony." "To that extent he bears false witness, and is an unmitigated liar," the Miami attorney told the subcommittee in deliberate tones. Whiteside said Schwartz' statement that Mack was pledged in the TV contest was untrue.

White WASHINGTON WV-TlWman A. Whiteside, Miami lawyer, denounced Bernard Schwartz as "an unmitigated liar" today for having connected him with a television channel applicant and for suggesting he passed money to a Federal Communications Commission member.

Both Mack and Whiteside about an economic depression. Truman's Saturday night broadside against the "economic misrule" he said had produced a Republican recession was assailed by leading GOP senators as a disservice to efforts to slow the business downturn and to lift employment.

Sen. Wiley (R-Wis) said that this is not a period when "men who have been in high places can afford to ignore their responsibilities." 'Citing income and employment statistics, Wiley said the country is not going to the dogs. "But if the people aie going to continue to be told that very-ting is haywire they are going to get in a mental condition where they will stop spending and then anything could happen," he said.

Unemployment in January was reported as nearly 4V5t mil lion, or 5.8 per cent of the total civilian working force. There already are signs the em ployment situation is improving, the labor secretary said in a television interview. But he said if the business lag should get worse the administration will "do whatever is necessary" to reverse the trend.

Sen. Mansfield of Montana, the assistant Democratic leader, said that if thingj don't start looking better in March the Democrats in Congress will "move immediately into the breach" with legislation now being drafted.

After talks in London with the British member of the two-man, "good offices" mission, Murphy flew to Paris to see Premier Felix Gaillard and Foreign Minister Christian Pineau. The U.S. deputy undersecretary of state is expected to go on to Tunis tomorrow to see President Habib Eourguiba and members of his government.

Murphy will be followed to Paris shortly by his British colleague Harold Beeley, Foreign Office undersecretary of state. There was speculation that the Briton was remaining in London to serve as a link between Murphy and Tunisian diplomats there. Tunisia's ambassador was withdrawn from Paris after the French bombing of the border village of Sakiet Sidi Youssef Feb. 8, the incident which produced the present tense crisis between France and her former North African protecton-te. The tension of the past several days in Tunisia was relaxed somewhat when Tunisian authorities issued permits for journalists to visit areas in the west of the country, near the Algerian border.

The newsmen had been barred by an order two days ago. The Tunisian information ministry claimed that the permits were required to keep track of correspondents' whereabouts. The officials denied they were trying to keep newsmen from areas where the French charge Algeriaa rebels are training or resting up. power as president during a transition period of unspecified length.
