WASHINGTON, March 20 (AP) — Sen. Symington
(D-Mo) suggested tonight that Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis)
step off his investigations subcommittee temporarily, or let
some other group determine the “questions of veracity” be-
tween McCarthy and the Army.
“The good name of the Senate is involved,” Symington
said.
Symington, one of three Democrats on McCarthy’s sub-
committee, said that if the Wisconsin senator and his three
Republican colleagues insist that McCarthy appear in the
“triple role of accusing witness, prosecutor and judge,” then
he will ask the Armed Services Committee to take over.

CENTRALIA, Mo., March 20 (m
—A New York diamond salesman
was robbed of an estimated $200,-
000 in loose diamonds and shot
in the foot tonight on a Wabash
train just before it-arrived here
from Kansas City.
The gunman Jumped from the
train as it pulled into the station
and fled in a car.
The victim, John Gray, 55, a
salesman and partner in the firm
of Adolphe Adler, New York, was
taken to a Mexico, Mo , hospital
where his condition was described
as satisfactory.
The robbery occurred shortly
after 7 p.m. (CSTI after Gray had
finished eating in the dining car
and had sat down in the club car
to read a magazine.
Gray said a man was sitting
across from him. The car steward
and possibly a waiter were the
only other persons in the club car,
Gray said
“Suddenly a man appeared in
front of me and held a gun in my
face,” Gray said. “He said ’give
me that brief case or I’m going
to shoot you.’ He then fired the
first shot. It went down and mis-
eed me. I slapped him with the
magazine. He shot again and it
went through my right foot. He
snatched the brief case and ran.
“I kept yelling 'I’m being rob-
bed, I'm being robbed,’ but no-
body budged.”
The Sunday forecasts-mostly
amount to more than half of the
$1200 stoten.
Walker signed a contession in
County Attorney Darwin Wilder’s
office Wednesday relating the spree
he and a companion, Kenneth
Bramblett, went on in Old Mexico
and South Texas, "
Most of the articles purchased
by the men with the stolon money
have been recovered.
Among other things, they include
a 1939 Dodge and a 1941 Mercury.

rested. Walker was driving the

DETROIT, March 20 (-
You couldn’t blame Gerald A.
Page for being a little excited
today when he took his wife to
the hospital to have her first
baby — but hospital officials
hope Page will be calmer the
next time.
The young Detroit expectant
father rushed his wife, Wanda,
to the Zieger Osteopathic Hos-
pital Maternity Center.
With one hand on his wife's
arm and the other clutching
an overnight bag, Page charg-
ed toward the door. He didn't
stop for the glass door which
shattered as Page walked
through it.
Page was treated for cuts
about the face and hands while
he waited for the arrival of his
baby.

“I have not talked to Joe

meaning McCarthy.
Mundt is setng chairman of the

exchanged between McCarthy and
