McKin-ney said Saturday "I'm not going to do anything" about comments directed at him by Col. Robert R. McCormick, editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune. "I'm not thin-skinned and I'm not going around fighting newspapers," McKinney told newsmen in an interview. "If I did that I wouldn't have time to do anything constructive."

"I do question the moral right of any newspaper to- distort the news on the front pages, and to bury the facts which refute those distortions deep inside the paper if it prints them at all," McKinney said.

COLONEL McCORMICK commented that "the Tribune during the last two days has shown McKinney up as a crook. He has tried to muddy the water by telling lies about the Tribune and me. "I'm not going to pay any attention to his lies, but I'm going to continue to show up his corruption and that of the administration." When newsmen quoted the Chicago publisher to the Democratic party leader, McKinney's reply through his public relations chief was: "That statement will be retracted, or else.

Joseph R. McCarthy. The federation's executive committee voted 42 to 2, with one member abstaining, to suspend the Manitowoc group for "practices inconsistent with the constitution of the federation." The executive committee said the club gave out fraudulent memberships with false addresses on cards, "refused to abide by decisions of the executive committee" and "refused to accept majority rules in district caucuses." Last June the Manitowoc County delegation touched off a bitter dispute by introducing at a district Young Republican meeting a resolution accusing McCarthy of "character assassination and mudsling-ing tactics." The resolution said the Wisconsin Republican had "accomplished nothing of importance during his five years in office." Supporters of the resolution said it was adopted legally at the district meeting.

But other young Republican leaders said the action was illegal, and it was reversed at a later meeting.

THE SEAS were so rough that the ship could not nter the at Dover.

On the crossing, the Blatchford met headwinds up to 40 miles an hour. When the ship was about 100 miles east of Nantucket, it ran into an unusually heavy swell raised by cross currents. THE 20-FOOT swell smashed against the ship and the captain in his cabin heard a loud report. He and his chief officer made an inspection and found a crack in the boat deck, 20 feet long and about two feet wide. They rushed to move four persons from a cabin into which the crack extended, and reduced the ship's speed to prevent further damage.

Dec. 15 (AP) Women in the United States are getting steadily more masculine in the opinion of Father Luis Gonzalez de Maria of Uruguay. The newspaper Ultimas Noticias quoted the priest as expressing this view on his departure by plane for Uruguay Friday night. This trend, he said, is being felt also in Mexico.

"The man must feel sad indeed in knowing that he must share with his mate his wardrobe, his cigarets, his wine cellar and his bicycle," Father Gonzalez was quoted. A consequence is, he added, that the modern woman "is losing all the mother's tenderness she has in her and, what is worse, acquiring a certain indifference to religious devotions." 9- 12-Ft.
