McCARTHY RECALL
Founder Of Move Subpoenaed
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 10 pjtn.) BARABOO (Wisconsin), June 10. Mr Leroy Gore, founder of the unsuccessful "Joe must go” movement in Wisconsin, was subpoenaed last night to produce all the signed petitions demanding- the recall of Senator Joseph McCarthy (Republican, Wisconsin). The subpoena was issued by a local justice of the peace at the request of Mr Harlan Kelley, a district attorney. It directed Mr Gore to produce the petitions by June 16 before a court of inquiry into the recall movement. Mr Kelley said that if Mr Gore did not produce the petitions, he would ask that he be held in contempt of Court. Mr Gore said on Monday, in announcing that insufficient signal- 'res for a recall election had been obtained, that the petitions were being ta/en out of the State in order to protect the signers. “I don’t care if the petitions are in Timbuctoo or South America,” Mr Kelley said. “Mr Gore has to bring them in. It is my duty to find out what he is hiding.”
