Air Force Sergeant
Says Nobody Asked
Him 10 Take Picture
BY the ASsociuted Press

NEW YORK, May IAN Air
Force sergeant who directed the
taking of the controversial
photograph in the Mccarthy
Army hearing was quoted in the
New York Times today as say
ing nobody asked him to have
the picture taken.
The newspaper, in a dispatch
from Washington, said Staff
Sergt. Herbert r. Manchester
of Mcguire Air Force Base in
New Jersey made the statement
to newsmen after testifying in
the hearing.
An issue in the hearing has
been whether Army Secretary
Stevens asked to have the photo
graphs taken.
The staff of Senator Mccarthy
presented in evidence a photo
graph showing Mr.. Stevens
standing with Pvt. G. David
Schine. The Army later con-
tended, and the Mccarthy forces
agreed, that the picture had been

After six days of watching
Senator McCarthy's war with the
Army in the Sd and natural
color of the Senate caucus room,
this reporter took time out to
see it on television yesterday.
You TV watchers see just
about everything.
TV fans lounging in chairs
that must be easier than the
ones in the Senate, get wonderful
closeupS of the witnesses which
persons in the room never see.
TV viewers see the gulp at the
tough questions, the running of
a finger under a collar when the
heat is on. They also get a much
better view of photographs, doc
tored" and undoctored.
The cameras prowl for by
play. They pick up the huddles
between Senator Mccarthy and
his friends. They spot Mr.. Cohn
whispering stop" to the Sena-
tor, and the Senator working it
into a question to Secretary
Stevens.
Follow Mccarthy.
They faithfully tag Senator
Mccarthy, the central figure in
what he calls this circus" They
accompany him on his little
patrols behind the committee
table and catch the set of his
jaw as he pushes forward to
make what he calls a point of
order.
The camera behind the COM
mittee table-where no specta-
tor can go-yesterday picked up
an exclusive bit for TV audiences.
In it's range was Army Counsel
or Joseph WEIGH, shaking his
head at the testimony of Nc
earthly Aide James Juliana.
It was almost like being there,
but not quite. The difference is
in small points. The thing you
miss most on TV is color.
Television cameras do not
bring you the exuberant brown

could make a point of order
about what the cameras do to
him. They unflatteringly record
his countenance in extreme
blacks and whites.
Caucus-room spectators see
these people in the glare of spot
lights so strong they make eyes
glisten. The lights slant across
the service ribbons of Army off,
GERS surrounding Secretary
Stevens.
Some Activity Lost.
The hustle and stir of the cau-
Gus room do not come through
on the screen. At the hearings,
there is constant, heavy, two
way traffic of messengers, re-
porters, photographers and spec
tatorS. The caucus room looks
much bigger on television than
it actually is.
Lost on the TV screen are the
fine points of the seating ar
rangements. The Army and Nc
Carthy sides sit cheek by jowl,
at right angles to each other, at
one end of the committee table.
When Senator Mccarthy jumped
on Assistant Secretary of De-
Tense Hensel the other day, he
was seated only two chairs away.
After the outburst, Senator Nc
Carthy reached over and Dor
rowed a pencil from Mr.. Hen
sells lawyer.
The camera can do a good job
of showing you what people are
doing, but not always in rela-
ton to each other. Yesterday
Secretary Stevens was struggling
with a tough question involving
Army Counsel John Adams. The
camera slid over to Mr.. Adams
and showed him shaking his
head. Whether Mr.. Stevens, too,
could see him was not plain.
Choice of Scene.
Another advantage Of being
there is that you can. if you have
a good enough vantage point,
decide what you will look at
instead of having the camera
make the decision for you. Pvt,
Schine's shoeshine. of all things,
figured in the testimony. You
could, if you were there and
curious enough, check on this
matter. Pvt. Schine's shoes did
have a high polish, whether
commercial or not, could not be
determined. But they did not
have a strap and buckle like
officers shoes-as earlier teSti-
mony indicated they might.
Small matters. these, but there
have been a lot of them in the
big McCarthy-Army hearings.

ton of these subversives.
Secretary Stevens - That is
right.
Mr.. Jenkins-And you knew
that Gen. Lawton himself had
suspended a number on his own
volition, since about october /
didn't you?
Secretary Stevens - That is
right.
Mr.. Jenkins-It might appear
that you did not want or per-
haps were afraid to relieve Gen.
Lawton without first finding out
whether or not he would make
an issue of it, and charge you
with having done it as a reprisal
against Gen. Lawton by reason
of his cooperation with Senator
Mccarthy.
Informative Motive.
Secretary Stevens-The pur-
pose of my call was to inform
Senator Mccarthy that I had
this under consideration.
Mr.. Jenkins-In view of the
fact that you, and you alone,
were charged with the RESPONSE
bility of relieving the general,
did you, and you alone, in view
of his qualifications, the charac-
ter of the work he was doing,
feel that Senator Mccarthy was
in no position whatever, being
in the legislative branch of the
Government, to pass on the
qualities or fitness of Gen. Law
ton to preside over the destinies
of Fort Monmouth?
Secretary Stevens-If I had
come to the conclusion that Gen.
Lawton should be relieved
would have done so. But
thought it was appropriate,
when I started thinking about
it seriously. to advise Senator
Mccarthy, because wanted to
follow my policy of cooperation
here. and I did not want the
committee to feel that I was
acting in a homeopathic
manner.
Mr.. Jenkins-I take it that
the message you got back from
Mr.. Adams was that Senator
Mccarthy would have construed
it as a reprisal against Gen.
Lawton, is that correct?
Word of Displeasure.
Secretary Stevens do not
know about reprisal, but GER
tainly got the word back that
Senator Mccarthy would not be
pleased if Lawton were relieved
Mr.. JenkinS-You did not re-
lieve Gen. Lawton thereafter?
Secretary Stevens did not

have no intention of it.

Of the word you got from Mr.
Adams that Senator Mccarthy

be displeased?

Although Gen. Eisenhower and
