Morrow, a husky six-footer, was
shot and left dying on a lonely
mountain road early yesterday in
this rugged Big Bend CCountry.
Four Marfa youths on their way
home from Presidio found his bo-

been shot.
Officers said he might have been
shot with his own gun. They
couldn't find it or his handcuffs.
Roadblock* were set up and
officers patrolled the area. But
they had no idea whom they were
hunting.

Haldore Hannon Charged
Of Being ‘Pro-Commie’
By Republican Solon
WASHINGTON, March U-4P—
Senator McCarthy (R-Wls* today
accused Haldore Hanson, key state
department official, of "pro-Com-
munlst" activities dating back to
September 1838.
He identified Hanson as the ex-
ecutive director of the secretariat
of the inter-departmental commit-
tee on scientific and cultural co-
operation.
McCarthy said Hanson will head
a technical cooperation project
staff for President Truman’s
"point four" program which will
spend "hundreds of millions of dol-
lars of our taxpayers' money all
over the world.”
The "point four ’ program is Pres-
ident Truman's plan for American
technical aid to undeveloped parts
of the world. It took Its name from
the fact that he first mentioned
It as "point four’’ in the foreign
policy section of his 1848 inaugural 1
address.
McCarthy made his accusation
against Hanson before a Senate net. then prepared to leave for Pre-
foreign relations subcommittee.
The group’s investigating McCar-
thy's charges that the State De-
partment is a haven for Commun-
ists and Red sympathisers. x
There was this background of
stormy developments as McCar-1
thy made ready to resume his tes-
timony before a senate foreign re-
latione subcommittee which is in-
vestigating his accusations:
1. Senator Brewster of Maine,
chairman of the Republican sena-
torial campaign committee, as-
serted that the Democrats on the
subcommittee have made a farce
of the inquiry by "constant heckl-
ing" of McCarthy. Brewster said
the Democratic majority seems to
be "more interested in whitewash-
ing the State Department than in
conducting an impartial investi-
gation.
2. John E. Peurifoy. deputy un-
dersecretary of state. c&L'ed on
McCarthy to prove his charf.es or
withdraw them.
3. McCarthy, in reply to Peuri-
foy, declared that during Ute two
days of public hearings Iasi week

Leopold. The Monarch said earli-
er he would abdicate if he did not
win 55 per cent of the vote.
There was no statement follow-
ing the cabinet meeting. A minis-
ter commented dourly: "We have
exchanged our points of views.''
The vote Sunday split the coun-
try and the political parties. Leo-
pold won a 72.2 per cent majority
in Flanders but got only a 40.2 per
cent minority in the Walloon pro-
vinces.
The liberals would not say wheth-
er they would join the pro-Leo-
poldlst Social Christians (Catholics)
in asking Parliament to rescind
Its ban on the king's return from
exile. The Liberals said it was up
to the King to make the first move.
The referendum was only an ad-
visory one, and it is up to parli-
ament to decide if Leopold may
return.
One plan offered by the antl-Leo-
pold forces was this: find a way
to bring the king back and then.
