were present during approxi-
mately half of the three-hour
meeting. Gen. Trudeau is
presently overseas, but Gen.
Ridgway and Gen. Mudgett
are available to answer any
questions that may be asked
of them regarding the discus
sion that took place while
they were present.
The second episode in this
connection began on Novem-
ber is, when Cohn, accom-
panied by Mr.. Adams, came to
my Office. Cohn referred to a
statement by me at a press
conference on November 13
to the effect that / was not
then aware of any current
espionage at Fort Monmouth.
Cohn said that Senator Nc
Carthy was considerably upset
as he felt that my statement
had pulled the rug out from
under him."
! few to New York the next
morning and again invited
Senator Mccarthy to lunch.
He was plainly provoked at
the comments had made. We
agreed on a statement that I
would make at q joint press
conference which Senator Nc
Carthy and I held following
lunch. It boiled down to my
saying that the Army had no
evidence of current espionage.
This was no different in sub
stance from my statement of
November 13 to which Senator
Mccarthy had objected. I still
have no evidence of current
espionage at Fort Monmouth.
An unsigned memorandum
Of November II, also made
public March IL by Senator
Mccarthy. states it was at this
luncheon in New York that I
again suggested the committee
Evening star., 1954-04-23

go after the Navy and Air
Force. That is not true. Col.
Cleary and Mr.. Adams were
present throughout. They
heard no such suggestion and
are available to supply infor-
nation regarding what was
said at this luncheon.
Now as to Senator Nc
Carthy's charge of blackmail.
This charge was included in
the Senator's memorandum
dated December 9 and also
made public March IL. For
more than three months, this
most serious charge-that the
chairman of this committee
had been blackmailed by the
Secretary of the Army-was
kept Secret-not only from the
public. but from the other
members of this committee.
During the 80 days in which
he kept it secret, he continued
to make flattering remarks
about me in public.
The occasion of the black
mail outburst on March IL
was publication of the Army's
chronological account of the
Schine affair. Nevertheless,
six days later-on March 18-
Senator Mccarthy was quoted
in the New York Herald Tribune
as saying that he had no "ill
feelings" against me, that I
was a very fine fellow" and
honest"
Is this the description of a
blackmailer?
Evening star., 1954-04-23
McCorthy's Letter
To Stevens Recalled

Senator Mccarthy wrote me
a letter dated December %,
1853, which he has made pub
lie. purporting to disclaim any
effort on behalf of Pvt. Schine.
Schine.
The statements are in strik-
ing contrast with the numer-
Gus efforts made both before
and after that day to obtain
preferential treatment and
special assignments for Pvt.
Schine. to say nothing of the
attempts to obtain a direct
commission for him.
Toward the end Of Decem-
ber, Mr.. Adams advised me
that Schine was headed for
the Provost Marshal General
Center at Camp Gordon. Ga.
Mr.. Adams told Cohn that
the chances were that Pvt.
