President, I did .mot catch the ruling of the Chair, The PRESIDING GFFICER. The Chair ruled that the Senator from New York has the floor. He is the Senator the Chair first recognized. - Mir. LEHMAN. I thank the Presiding Offiewr. Once more the Senate is hearing the ‘names of several persons mentioned and the irvespunsible charge made that they ,are disloyal to the United States or even ‘traitors to thei: country, > Ide not know anything abvut many of the individuals who have been named here today, IJ dv know that the process tof making cha...15 in public against the ‘Joyisiy of certain persons under the _ Protection of congressional immunity 15 ‘ps form of character assassination which pall cf us must abhor and condemn, I ‘shali have more to say on this subject, jas we all should, at a later date. t One of the names bandied about today ‘is thgt of Philip C. Jessup, Ambassador -at Large, and one of the most distin- l enished public servants in our Govern- ment. One of the most skillful and effec- ! tive spokesmen of the United States in ‘international affairs, Philip Jessup, twhom I know well, has ably served his jcountry during the past few years in jexposing, in the forums of the United Nations, the devious purposes and hy-~ tpocris¥ of the Soivet leaders. i He deserves inuch better of his fellow leitizens than the shabby and dastardly itreatment Which is accorded him here [ todas: Mr. President, I make vthe point of order that the Senator from .Nev York is«out of order.

Mr. President, I raisa jthe poing of crder that the Senator from ‘New York is oul of order, and T ask that ‘tie rule ce enforce ' RESSIONAL REVORD—SEN The PRESIDING tJFICER. The Scnater from New York, under the rule, will take his seat. Mr. McFARLAND. Myr, President, I move that the Senator from New York be permitted to proceed in order. The PRESIDING OFFICER, The question is on agreeing to the motion of the Senator from Arizona, Mr. WEERRY. Mr. President, is the motion debatabie? The PRESIDING GFFICER. The Chair understands it is not, Mr WHERRY. That is all right. I will vote to permit the Senator to pro- ceed in order if he will do so in order. If the Senator from New York is not acquainted with rule XIX I will tell him what it pravides, It does not make any Dass ttiten bee difference what the Senator thinks of ¢ the Senator from Wisconsin; under rule XIX he cannot in any way, directly or indirectly, impute improper motives to him. Mr. McFARLAND. Mr. President, 4 parliamentary inquiry. Mr. WHERRY. Mr. President, I have a right to speak. Mr. McFARLAND. ‘The motion fs not debatable. The PRESIDING OFFICER, The motion is not debatable as the Chair understands. As the Chair understood, the Senator from New York did nol refer by name specifically to any Senator. Apparently the Chair did not hear clearly what the Senator from New York said. Mr, WHERRY. Mr. President, inus- much as the distinguished occupant of the chair has made mention of whas he heard—— Mr. McFARLAND. Mr. President, I call for the regular order. Mr. WHERRY. Iask unanimous con- sent thet I may be given 5 minutes to answer the statement made by the dis- tinzuished Senator. Mr. McFARLAND. I call for the reg- wlar order. Mr. WHERRY, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from arizona has called for the regular order. The question is on the motion of the Senator from Arizona that the Senator from New York proceed jin order, [Putting the question.] The “ayes” have it, and the Senator from New York may proceed, Mr, LEHMAN. Mr. President, I wish only on this occasion to offer for inser- tion into the Recorp at this point state- ments by three of the greatest Ameri- cans of our day, These statements say more than I can about the character and patriotism of Philip Jessup, These state - ments are not new, but neither are the charges that have been made here. Tne men whose testimony I now call upon to bear witness to the character of Mr. Philip Jessun, a citizen of the State of New York, are Gen. George CC, Marshal, one of the nobiest men who have ever lived, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, to whom we owe an unpayable debt of crati- tude, and the late venerated Henry 1. Stimson, respected by every American citizen. The statements by Generals Marshall and Eisenhower are in the form of letters addressed to Ambassador Jessup. The statement by the late Sec- AUGUST 9 retary Henry L. Stimson is in the form of a letter to the editor of the New York Times. I wish merely to quote the last para- graph of the letter. He writes: This is no time to let the nolsy antics of a Tew i upset the steady parpose of our cown- try or dis. act our leade.s from thelr proper tasits, This is rather 8 time for sterm rebuke of such antics and outspoke: support af the qaistinguished public se.valts “gine whom they are directed, Mr. President, I nat only fully agree with the words of that great statesman, that great Secretary of War and Secre- tary of State, Henry L. Stimsor., but I 20 further and say that the time is long overdue when we should have repuked the authors of antics reflecting om Men, apithear gets th fay Without supporting tie cha rges with any real evidence. Mr. President, I &sx unanimous con- sent that the letters to which I have re- ferred be printed in the body cf the Recorp at this point as a par: of my remarks. There being no ohectuon, the “etrecs were orcdercd vo be printed wise ReEC- ORD, aS iduows: Marcu 17, 1650. My Dear Jessur: I am shocked ard dis- tressed by the attack or your integrity as a puble servant. Throughout your intimate service with me while Y wat Secretary of State you were clearly outstanding as a representative of the Government both as to your masterful presentations and the frinness of your op- Position to ali Sovicr or Communist avtacks or pressures.
