Stevens Testimony
Sought on Clearance
OF Army Employees
sy the AssoeIassd Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin, today asked Secre-
tary Of the Army Stevens to tell
Senate investigators why the
Army won't provide names of
military personnel who cleared
civilians suspected of Communist
activities.
Declaring it was just as i'm
portant to find out who gave
clearance to Communist as it
was to locate a Red, Senator Nc
Carthy had said earlier he would
appeal to Defense Secretary Will
son or even to President Eisen-
hover for the information, if
necessary.
But he told a news conference
today he hopes 1--WE don't have
to go any higher than Stevens"
Tuesday Appearance Suggested.
Stevens had nothing to do
with that order" Senator Nc
Carthy added. "But we would
like to have him come in Tues
day, If that is convenient with
him. to testify in a closed session
of the committee about the stu
alton"
The Investigations subcommit-
tee Senator Mccarthy heads held
four days of hearings in New
York this week during which it
was disclosed that a woman en-
ploye of the Quartermaster
Corps, labeled by Senator Nc
Carthy as 100 per cent Com
munist," had had access to Army
data on troop movements. The
woman was not named, but SEN
ator Mccarthy demanded to
know what military officials had
cleared her for the job.
Col. Wendell G. johnson of
the 1st Army intelligence staff
refused, saying such information
could not be supplied because of
directive issued by former Pres
ident Truman on March 13, 1948.
May Cancel Far East Trip.
On other points, the Senator
said his committee has SO many
leads ahead that he doesn't be-
lieve he will be able to make a
planned trip to Japan, Formosa,
Korea. the Philippines and pos
sibly Indo- China in october. He
said he also probably will have
to give up plans for trips tC
Ireland and Spain later this
year.
In New York an Army colonel
who had drawn criticism from
Senator Mccarthy during the
hearings there said yesterday
there apparently had been a
misunderstanding.
Senator Mccarthy had ac-
cused the officer, Col. Robert A.
Howard, of refusing to say
whether a known Communist
should be kept on the Army pay
roll or suspended. Col. Howard
said yesterday he had under
stood Senator Mccarthy was
asking about a specific individ-
ual of whom he had little first
hand knowledge, rather than
the overall question whether
Communists should be en-

complete report from the Sec
retary of the Army on the new
regulations and their effect when
Congress convenes in January.
Representatives Rees, Repub-
lican, of Kansas an avoWed dry
and chairman of the House Civil
Service Committee, in a separate
interview said he was Surprised
and disappointed" and that the
new policy would mot be a
morale builder or morals
builder"
One lawmaker with military
experience said the situation
was tickliSh because:
"The veterans who have been
in the services and have hair on
their chests, think the men can
handle their liquor. And the
church women and similar
groups are fighting any sales of
liquor, or even beer"
Another, an ex-infantryman,
put it this way:
This is full of political dyna-
mite. I've been flooded with
mail on this liquor issue in the
services. :. Any comment you
make on this just gets you into
trouble"
However, Representative Short,
Democrat, of Missouri. chairman
of the House Armed Services
Committee, commented "It's bet
ter to have this situation under
control"
Unofhcially, high military of
ficials summed up the philosophy
of the new system this way:
Some of the men are going to
drink anyway so we might as
well make it possible-and at
tractive-for them to do it where
we can keep on eye on them and
make them behave themselves. :"
The Army pointed out the Navy
and the Marines have allowed on
base sale of drinks for some
time. The Air Force already had
been permitting sale of drinks
at commissioned officers clubs.
One attraction of the service
sanctioned spas likely will be
low prices. They will not have
to pay Federal taxes and the
overhead of an on-base tavern
would be considerably lower than
that of a civilian establishment.
