Forge, "The American people can no longer write it off as 'just The Democrats in the Congress cannot shift the responsibility to the Republicans on the grounds that it is solely their problem. And the Republicans can no longer indulge in the luxury of appeasement at any price." Ready to Help Democratic leaders were said to feel that any time the Republican leadership wants to try to chastise McCarthy it can have Democratic help.

But many Senate precedents and customs are, involved that the Democrats don't want to upset for fear that it or when they return to control of the Senate they might face a challenge to their own organization control. Flanders' motion also is regarded by many of the Democrats as failing to capitalize on the current televised controversy over "pressure" and "blackmail" charges exchanged between Secretary of the Army Stevens and McCarthy. The Flanders resolution deals with questions incorporated in an elections subcommittee report early in January 1953 on accusations flung between McCarthy and tormer Sen. William Benton (D. Conn).

Flanders' basic contention Friday was that McCarthy stood in contempt of the whole Senate by not appearing before the elections subcommittee while it investigated charges against him in 1952. McCarthy has characterized that subcommittee's report as a "smear." Interviewed on an NBC TV-radio show Sunday night, Flanders declared all McCarthy's words and actions must now "be seen and listened to" in the light of this "unresolved contempt of the Senate." Criticizing McCarthy on other counts, the Vermont senator asserted McCarthy had moved "clearly in the direction of fighting 'communism with fascism." McCarthy, returning from weekend speaking trip, told newsmen on his arrival in Washington he did not plan to answer 1 Flanders' remarks.

Air Engineers Explain Zoning Regulations To Jersey Board JERSEYVILLE The Jersey County Board of Supervisors 1 today discussed with Air Force engineers zoning regulations which would he required if the Air Force establishes its "West Point" at the Chautauqua-Elsah site.

Elmo J. Seconi, chief appraiser for the real estate division, United States Air Force, and S. R. Rio, of master planner from the office Chief of Staff for Installations, were accompanied to meeting by Lawrence Keller of Alton, Greater Alton Association of Commerce board member. They explained to county board members informally the type of zoning desired, including that 10 protect airplanes approaching the airfield which will be established in connection with the academy.

Action on the resolution' will be unlikely until it is decided which of three sites in the country will be finally selected for the Air Academy: Lake Geneva, tauqua-Elsah pr Colorado Springs. However, State's Attorney Claude Davis discussed the form of the requested resolution with the Air Force site inspection team members. Board Empowers Haller To Name Planning Group EDWARDSVILLE The Madison County Board of Supervis. ors by resolution today took the initial step toward zoning of all unincorporated territory in the county. The board designated all areas outside corporate limits of cities and villages for regional planning.

It also empowered board chairman Gus Haller to name a seven-member non-salaried gional planning commission to serve for two years. Chairman Haller said today he will name the seven members of the planning commission within a few days. After a regional plan is adopted for the unincorporated areas of the county, the next step would be for creating of a county or regional zoning commission to set up regulations for the unincorporated areas. The planning commission's duties involve the preparation of a plan for the "general purpose of guiding and accomplishing a coordinated, adjusted and harmonious development" of unincorporated areas in the county. The plan so drafted aimed at promoting the best interests and future needs of the unincorporated areas, would be submitted to the county board for approval, Authority of the planning commission would be limited to a fact-finding agency, with its powers limited to an advisory nature, Alton township assistant supervisor Alton May, in a statement explaining the purpose of the resolution adopted, said the move is the forerunner of a general zoning plan for all unincorporated sections of the county, May said it was his committee's view that one step should be taken at a time.

He expressed the hope that the planning commission to be set up "can show us the way" to solution of the problems of unincorporated areas, expecially just outside cities and villages, where development is not at present regulated. The board's action today stemmed from a meeting here April 7 at a county- public meeting sponsored by the Madison County Citizens' Planning Committee. A resolution was adopted at the meeting calling upon the board of supervisors to appoint permanent county planning. zone commission to expedite orderly development of unincorporated areas in the county.

Continued operation of the passenger trains, the company asserted, would mean losses would have to be met from the freight service, which the railroad also operates.
