Hits McCarthy
Talk, Methods
NEW YORK (A—Martin Levine,
electronics engineer suspended
from the Rome, N. Y., Griffiss
Air Force Base laboratory, says
he intends to legally challenge Mc-
Carthy sub-committee witnesses
who contended he was a Com-
munist or a Communist sympa-
thizer.
The 28-year-old Levine said yes-
terday he appeared Wednesday in
closed session before Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy (R-Wis). head of the
Senate permanent investigations
subcommittee.
McCarthy yesterday adjourned
open and closed hearings here until
after the first of the New Year.
Levtoe, suspended Nov. 23 from
Griffiss, said he answered all
Neiner one senator mor tux:
committee has released any de-
tails of Levine’s questioning.
Levine was discharged from the
air base laboratory specifically on
charges of Communist leanings
and violation of security regula-
tions. He has not yet received an
Air Force beartag.
Levine said McCarthy told him
“15 or 20” persons—not named-
charged he was a Communist or
bad Communist leanings.
In a statement yesterday, Levtoe
said he agreed with McCarthy that
perjury was indicated on one side
or another, and added:
“The senator informed me that
By statements contradicted these
and that if the statements will
be made by the individuals under
oath, the Justice Department will
receive charges of perjury.

"I desire that those who have
made these false statements be
sworn under ’oath so that it can
be brought before a grand jury.
‘‘I desire this for three reasons:
“1. To clear my name complete-
ly and thoroughly before the court
and in the eyes of the public.
“2. To hold the individuals mak-
ing these false accusations up to
the scrutiny of their fellow work-
ers so they can be known as
falsifiers, twisters of the truth,
spreaders of false reports, ete.
“3. So that I can obtain sentence
against them for perjury and, in
addition, to sue them directly for
/ the mental anxiety, financial loss,
loss of health and the attempt
to ruin my reputation.

TODAY’S MARKETS
NEW YORK (—Stocks were ir-
regular today in a fairly active
market.
Changes either way were frac-
tional. Right after the opening bell
prices tended to harden, but more
and more losers appeared to soften
that aspect.
Radio Corp., following announce-
ment of approval of color televi-
sion, opened on a block of 7,000
shares up 3-4 at 24 3-8.
The market yesterday was ir-
regular with early strength fading
toward the close. There were
quite a few soaring issues, and
many of these were soft today.

Today's hand waa amusing to
everybody but North and South.
The take happened to be on them,
but it waa all their own fault.
There was no reason for North’s
takeout double of one heart It's
all right to shade a takeout double
when you have good distribution,
but it's just asktag for trouble to
make a light double when your
distribution is the worthless
4-3-3-3.
Nobody would blame North for
doubling with the same high cardo
if he had a singleton heart and
four cards in each of the other
suits, and with thst sort of hand
North wouldn't actually get Into
much trouble.
When East very properly re-
doubled. South should have stayed
out of the auction to let North
look for a resale. The partnership
might have struggled Into two dia-
moods, at which five tricks could
be won. This would be no bargain,
since East and West would not
have bid a game if left to their
own devices, but st least it would
not be a disaster.
Against the actual contract of
one no-trump doubled, West open-
ed the three of spades. Declarer
played low from the dummy, and
East won with the king. East re-
turned the deuce of spades. West
put up the queen, and dummy won
with the ace.
South decided to go after the1
diamonds by leading a low card
from the dummy. East ducked,
and West won with the ten. West
then led a spade to East’s ten
and got a heart return through
declarer. After winning this heart
trick, West led another spade to
East’s eight and got another heart
through South.
Upon winning the second round
of hearts West shrewdly led the
queen of diamonds. He didn’t want
to give East any trouble with the
discarding. There was lots of time
to cash the good hearts, for it was
clear that East had another heart
left.
South had already taken one
trick with the ace of spades and
should have taken dummy’s second
ace before the mice got at it. But
he refused the diamond trick, hop-
ing that something would happen.
Something did.
West promptly cashed his tiro
