Communist is not fit to wear
the uniform"
Gen. Zwicker, seated in the
committee room yesterday, heard
Senator Mccarthy call him zone
of the most arrogant, one of the
most evasive" witnesses who ever
appeared before the investiga-
tons subcommittee. Talking
later with reporters, Gen.
Zwicker refused to comment. He
said only that he was standing
by if the committee wanted to
question him.
Senator Mccarthy completed
his version of the ZWicker Incl
dent and its relationship to the
Investigations subcommittee in
quiry into the refusal of former
Maj. Irving Peress, a dentist, to
answer questions about Commu-
mist membership or subversive
activities at Camp Kilmer.
Committee Counsel E. Wallace
Chadwick announced he was
preparing an overall cross-ex-
animation. He said he preferred
to wait until Senator Mccarthy
and Mr.. Williams covered all the
main charges in direct presenta-
ton. This was agreeable to COM
mittee members. Several re-
marked that an orderly cross
examination would be better
than a "piecemeal' questioning
of the Senator. Mr.. Williams said
Senator Mccarthy would well
come a vigorous" cross-eXami-
nation.

given thus far if Mr.. Williams
did not want to go ahead.
1--WE want to go further but
we cannot go further" Mr.. Will
liams replied.
At another point Senator Wat
kins told Mr.. Williams he could
argue the matter lat the proper
time but added that we're not
going to break into the taking Of
testimony"
Before the f1are-up over Sem
ator Watkins ruling. Mr.. Will
Iiams led Senator Mccarthy
through a defense against the
charge that he melted" Federal
employees to violate their oaths OF
Office by turning information
over to him.
Lawyer Reads Quotations.
The charge grew out of Senator
McCarthy's repeated invitation
to Government workers during
the recent Army-M Carthy hear
ings to turn over information to
him.
Mr.. Williams read numerous
quotations from the Army-Mc-.
Carthy hearing relating to the
charge and asked the witness If
he made the statements In each
instance Senator MCCARTHY said
he did.
But I did not include general
classified material" Senator Nc
Carthy said. I'm other words I
was not asking them for atomic
bomb secrets or other military
secrets. I was just asking for
evidence of wrongdoing in the
executive branch. AS chairman
of the committee if I did not ask
them for such information I
should be subject to censure."
While Senator Mccarthy said
he did not ask Federal employees
to turn over to him general
classified" information or mill
tary secrets, he argued that the
mere stamping by Federal Off
Gals Of a document as "con-
fidential'' does not make the ma
terial "sacrosanct and inacces-
sible" where there is evidence of
wrongdoing.
The snarl which resulted in
the dropping of the Senator's
defense on two charges started
when Chairman Watkins ruled
that Mr.. Williams was getting
into "a lot of diversion" in at
tempting to introduce the Sena-
tor Williams magazine interview.
Senator McCarthy's counsel
commended that the Watkins rul-
ing against this method of testi-
mony effectively prevents us
from putting in a defense"
against the charge that Senator
Mccarthy invited Government
employees to violate the law and
their oath of Office by supplying
him with information.
This is not a diversion" Mr..
Williams argued. 1T goes to
the heart of the defense"
mot Going to Quarrel"
The young attorney said the
ruling stopped him from show
ing Senator McCarthy's attitude
in requesting information on
graft, corruption, communism
and treason in the Government.
You can quarrel with the de-
cision if you want to-" Senator
Watkins said. But you are not
going to quarrel here"
The 67-year-old Utah Repub-
lican pointed out that the COM
mittee had set up rules of evil
dence to follow in the censure
investigation and then added
fatty:
Il think the ruling is clear
and I'll stand on it,"
Senator Mccarthy jumped
into the discussion and asked
for 80 seconds to make a state
ment. Chairman Watkins said
the committee rules allowed
either Senator Mccarthy or his
attorney, but not both, to make
an argument.

plea to be allowed to speak, say

1t violated the committee rules.
Senator Mccarthy then said
he thought it was important for
the censure committee to know
all the precedents on which he
based his appeal for information
from Government employees and
urged Senator Watkins to con-
suit with other members Of the
committee on his ruling.

Brief Is Submitted.
Earlier, Mr.. Williams sub
mitted to the censure commit
tee a 14-page brief supporting
the McCarthy-sid argument
that the chairman of the Senate
Investigations subcommittee was
entitled to information on
wrongdoing when the Federal
employe believed that the acts
were not being handled correctly
by their superiors. h
The Mccarthy position was
summed up in one quotation
from his Army-McCarthy testi-
mony. It read:
90. I would like to notify
those 2 million Federal employees
that I feel it is their duty to give
us any information which they
have about graft, corruption.

Army-McCarthy inquiry and that
it was his position now.
But the charge that I invited
them (Federal employes) to vio-
late their oath of Office is COM
pletely false" Senator Mccarthy
said. 1T has no foundation in
truth. I invited them to support
their oaths of Office"
In his brief citing legal prece-
dents for the Mccarthy position,
Mr.. Williams stated:
ut is submitted that under
the law and under the oath
taken by employees in the exec
utiye branch that it is not only
their express right to furnish

The Coffee Is Hot

Since coffee has become so much part of
the American way of life 1t is appropriate that
our Government should be taking official notice
of the skyrocketing prices of this imported
commodity. The Federal Trade Commission,
President Eisenhower says, began an investiga-
ton about two weeks ago and feels that the
preliminary findings warrant further inquiry.
The Senate Banking Committee likewise has
decided to investigate the problem.
In its simplest manifestation, the trouble
appears to be that there just isn't enough coffee
to meet the demand The prices, consequently,
have been going up. The South and Central
American producers blame droughts, freezing
temperatures and insect damage for the short
supply. Brazil the biggest producer, cut back
production by destroying coffee trees not so
many years ago because Of overSupply. Coffee
trees planted in the postwar years have not yet
fully matured and the country's production is
about one-third below the 1859 average.
If short supply and increasing demand
without artificial factors constitute the expla-
nation of today's price problem there isn't much
to be done except pay or 60 without There is
