Quotes Wherry on Mccarthy.
Asked If Mr.. Peurifoy indicated
to him in any way that his record
was clear with respect to Govern
ment employment, Larsen replied: !:
mo. sir. He merely indicated
that my xeaprd in the State De-
'partment Aa4 no annexation as to
fSisloyalty.''
In his testimony, Larsen said
that he also had been questioned
by a Mccarthy aide, who pointed
a finger at him and called him
guilty" but said everything would
be easier for him if he would tes-
tify correctly"
Larsen said he complained aboNt
such treatment to Senator Wherry
of Nebraska, Republican leader,
and was told:
Mac (Senator Mccarthy has
gone out on a limb and kind of
made a fool of himself, and we
have to back him up now"

Larsen also testified:
l. That Mr.. Service and John
Carter Vincent, among others in
the State Department, tried to

Hurley when Gen. Hurley was
Ambassador to China in 1945. Mr..
Vincent. now Minister to Switzer-
land, was at that time director
of the State Departments Of1ice
of Far Eastern Affairs.
Larsen said Mr.. Service, Mr.
Vincent and others tried to "sabo-

ports to the department "that
were in some instances almost the
opposite of what Hurley reported
regarding the situation in China

Evacuation Program
AT Arlington Farms
Is Half Completed

Washington's own displaced
persons problem Government
girls ordered to vacate dormitories
at Arlington Farms and Langston
is being solved with scarcely a
ripple of attention.
With the evacuation program
about half completed, Federal
officials said yesterday they have
to rehouse approximately 892 girls
between now and July 81. the
legal deadline for ousting all
present occupants. Since Febru-
ary "a. 881 women and girl en-
ployes have been housed elsewhere
In the city.
Three of the five Arlington
Farms dormitories already have
been evacuated-the Kansas, Ne
, braska and Alabama Halls from
which 1923 occupants have de-
parted. A total of 1,640 girls were
living comfortably If not luxuri-
ously at Arlington Farms on Feb
ruary "a. when the vacating pro-
gram was ordered. About half of
the remaining girls, those in
Maine Hall, will be evacuated by
July 16 and the remainder In
Louisiana Hall by the July 81 dead
line.
Biggest Project for Women.
Arlington Farms was the biggest
wartime housing project for
women in the Washington area.
At the war peak. officials said. be-
tween 1000 and 5000 persons oc-
cupied the dormitories.
John c. Junek, manager of resi-
Dental halls for the Public
Buildings Service, said the evacu-
alton program has been "a smooth
closeout so far" He doesn't an
ticipate any trouble because the
girls have been very cooperative
and patient, he said.
At Langston, at Oklahoma ave-
nue. and Twenty-fourth street
NE. there were three dormitories,
the tenants numbering 1873 colored
girls on February "a. Now there
are rs who require rehousing, So
having found homes elsewhere.
One dormitory is now occupied.
Many Prefer Slowe Hall.
The housing problem for these
girls was more difficult, Mr.. Junek
said, because it was hard for the
colored girls to find suitable liv-
ing quarters in nearby communi-
ties. But Howard University has
come to the rescue. AS students
graduate and vacate rooms in Car
yer Hall. one of the university's
dormitortes, girls from Langston
have been permitted to take up
residence there.
Many Of the girls expressed a |
preference for rooms In Slowe
Hall, a wartime dormitory at
Third and L street NV. Some
have transferred there.
The Federal Housing Adminis-
tration and other agencies are CO.
operating to find living quarters
for all the displaced girls.

traptions. at least ten Of them. in
that office. It was bristling with
machinery. And I understood that
whatever I said would go into
records and on discs 80
At another point, Larsen said
Mr.. Surine pointed at him and
said: You are equally guilty"
That. Larsen continued, sort of
got me little bit mad" He said
Mr.. Surine then told him:
you are equally guilty with the
others. but If you will testify cor
rectly you can be Of a great help
to us and everything will be much
easier for you"
Later on, Larsen said under fur
ther questioning that some of the
'bristling machinery" he saw in
Mr.. Surine's Office was electrical
typewriters. But he insisted there
were recording devices too.

heard what the Justice Depart
ment was going to do.
AS Of last week. he still hadn't
heard from the Justice Depart
ment.
No U. s. Violation Held Involved.
Justice Department spokesmer
have never commented officially on
the case other than to say it was
under study" II was learned
however, that at least until last
week the attitude at Justice was
that no Federal violation was in
volved. that this was a disciplinary
problem rather than one to dig
nifty with a grand jury investiga-
tion and that it was q purely local
matter.
From one officiah 1t was learned
that additional information
reached the department a month
or two ago from a non-police
source but it was not considered
Of much Importance.
As for the legal status Of wire
tapping, Supreme Court Justice
Jackson. while Attorney General
in 1941. summed 1t UP this way:
There Is no Federal statute
that prohibits or Furnishes wire
tapping alone. The only offense
under the present law is to inter-
cept any communication and di-
vulge or publish the same. Any
person. with no risk of penalty,
may tap telephone wires and
eavesdrop on his competitor, en-
ployer or others. and act upon
what he hears or make any use of
it that does not involve divulging
or publication.
THE courts do not stop people
from tapping wires. No one has
ever been or under present law
could be convicted of that by it
self. What has been stopped is
the use Of evidence to enforce the
law against criminals"

toned by Pvt. McHale. 1t was
said.
Other policemen assigned to the
United States Attorneys office also
were interviewed by the police in
vestigators. Their statements, ac-
cording to the same sources.

had overheard about arrange
ments being made for this "as-
signment."
Refuses Comment.
1t. Shimon, now assigned to the
Second Precinct. replied with mo
comment" when asked by The
Star if he did q job for Senator
Brewster, If he carried out an as
signment for q Senate committee
or If he had anything to do with
the Hughes investigation.
Both Mai. Barrett and United
States Attorney George Morris
Fay denied they had instructed 1t.
Shimon to undertake an assign
ment for O Senator or Senate
Committee.
( Both Francis D. Flanagan, now
chief counsel Of the Senate In
vestigations Subcommittee, and
William P. Rogers, chief counsel
when the same group under its
former name made the Hughes
investigation, said 1t. Shimon did
not work for the committee to
their knowledge.
Mr.. Flanagan said 1t. Shimon
was at no time on the committee
payroll and MIR. Rogers said no
committee member ever gave him
any information that would sug-
gest it was acquired by wire
tapping.
The Shimon case was O hot
potato from its start last August,
partially because Of unoficial
complaints that 1t. Shimon as
sisted in the divorce proceedings
OF a socially prominent WASH
ington couple. p
Told to Make Own Probe.
Allegations Of wiretapping sent
Maj. Barrett hurrying to the Jus
tice Department. He was told
there to make his own investiga-
tion and promptly transferred 1t
Shimon from Mr.. Fay's ofice to
the 14th Precinct.
When Inspector Robert BRYANT
chief Of detectives, and Capt
Robert v. Murray, assistant chief
completed their investigation, Mai.
Barrett sent their report to Mr..
Fay to determine whether the
case warranted prosecution. Mr.,
Fay sent the report back the next
day. advising Maj. Barrett that it
should go to the Justice Depart
ment since the police chief had
consulted at Justice in the first
place.
Maj. Barrett also included IN the
report the finding Of his investi-
gators that 1t. Shimon was negli-
gent about handling evidence in a
narcotics case. Maj. Barrett told
reporters ct the time it was more
than likely that 1t. shimon would
be cited before the Police Trial
Board on the negligence charge

Mr.. Rich, in collaboration with
Thomas Hudson Jones. a sculptor
designed the Tomb of the I'm
known Soldier.
Present plans, to be approved
by President Truman and De-
fense Secretary johnson, call for
enlarging the granite plaza area
SO as to provide more space for
public gatherings, the announce
ment said. Additional trees and
shrubs also will be planted at the
plaza and adjacent to the recep-
ton building.
Additions Are Scheduled.
New permanent sentry boxes
also are to be installed. Additional
display cabinets will be placed in
the memorial rooms to provide
for exhibition of decorations and
awards which will be bestowed on
the World War II Unknown by
the United States and other
countries.
The department estimated that
the work to be done In and around
the tomb would cost $350.000.
Bids for the alteration and con-
struction work at the tomb will
be called for about August Is and
the contract is scheduled to be
awarded early in october.
A minimum area Of the plaza
near the tomb will be screened
off while construction work is go
ing on so that the public may
continue to visit the memorial
shrine.
Selection To Be Made From Six.
The World War II Unknown will
be selected in Independence Hall
in Philadelphia May 26. 1851,
from among six armed forces
members who gave their lives
overseas and whose identities
were never established. A Naval
vessel will bring the body to the
Naval Gun Factory here. The
body will lie in state in the Capitol
rotunda until the state funeral.
The six bodies will be selected
from among unidentifiable armed
forces dead in Is permanent mill
tary and national cemeteries
overseas under direction of the
Army Quartermaster Corps, which
has returned to this country, vir-
tually all the identifiable war dead

A Defense Department spokes-
man said the plans for the new

testify one way or the other con-
cerning Mr. Service"
Larsen replied. that Mr.. reuri-
foy had not.
Questioned by Surine.
The committee record on Lar
sens testimony quotes him as say
ing that Senator Mccarthy called
him to his Office last March 18
Larsen repeated to committee a
version of that meeting which he
said he had outlined to Represent
ative Dondero, Republican, OF
Michigan. Larsen's account went
this way:
II said, 7 had some difficulty at
McCarthy's place
Il said. Mr.. Mccarthy is very
busy man, with many phone calls,
and we didn't get around to a
proper discussion. He would ask
me a question, then he would have
an interruption, SO he turned me
over to a young man by the name
Of Don Surine.
Il went downstairs with Mr..
Don Surine, AN investigator of
McCarthy's, and there I got into
a little bit Of a hot dispute with
MIR. Don Surine. just after he had
started to question me.
"'He had a list of questions, and
he got no further than, How did
you get involved In the spy case
or the Amerasia espionage case?"
I objected. I said I prefer to have
1t as the Amerasia leakage of in
formation, or stolen documents
case, rather than the spy case.'
Magazine Article Changed.
"He said. But you wrote an ar
ticle in Plaintalk "a magazine) >
II said I objected to DR.. Don
Levin's labelling that story the
State Department espionage case.
Don Levine was editor of the
magazine. Larsen testified that
Levins and his publisher re-
vised the article Larsen wrote
SO that it was beyond Larsen's
recognition.)
Continuing his account with
Mr.. Surine. Larsen declared:
II said. If you put Espionage"
in, for goodness sake put it In
quotation marks. because ."
certainly know nothing about es-
pionage.'
With that, Mr.. Surine got up
and pointed his fingers at me:
Are you defending Amerasia?'
Il said, No sir, am defending
myself. I am sorry to say,
I still have to defend myself. And
now I think I will be going
DictaphOnes In Office.
Then the phone rang, and I
could clearly understand that Mr..
Mccarthy was on the phone, and
I also could very well conjecture
that Mr.. Mccarthy had had q
little recording device upstairs and
had heard every word that had
been said, and was now calling
Mr.. Surine to tell him the heck
with that questioning Of Larsen.
