He heard the memorandum read
but offered no objection. He went
from there back to the Pentagon.
There newsmen asked him II he
had retreatedp when he met Me-
Carthy face to face. He replied
that he did not consider himself
person who capitu,ates." That
was when he made his first Sug-
gestion that there was a part of
the memorandum" not in writing.
He said he had "every reason
to believe Army personnel will not
be abused by the committee" in
the future. Wednesday night he
began calling members of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's White House
staff.
BY then he had time TO get a
reaction from inside and outside
the Pentagon: a very widespread
view he had surrendered to Nc
Carthy; that he had talked tough
but not when the showdown came.
Before noon yesterday he was
repeatedly very upset by the gen.
erai impression he had caved in.
The Washington Star, for instance,
on the front page, said Army mo.
rale was shot to pieces by his
performance.
Late in the day, according to
some of the senator's who had sat
in with Stevens and Mccarthy, the
Army secretary wanted to make
an addition in writing to the "mem-
orandum" issued the day before.
In effect, they said, he wanted
them to agree no witness before
their committee would be
abused"
He got no such document. Nc
Carthy said later any such agree
ment would be an admission wit
nesses had been abused in the
past, which he denied had been
done.
Finally, Stevens got tough again.
He issued a statement, backed by
the White House, which said he
had not surrendered and that:
If any Army people are abused
in the future, II shall once again
take all steps" at his disposal to
protect them. And he added:
From assurances l have received
from members of the subcommit.
> tee, | am confident that they will
not permit such conditions to de.
velop in the future"
Immediately Mccarthy said il
was completely false" for Stevens
to say he had such assurances
Absolutely no concession was
made that any witness was
abused" Mccarthy said.

discharge. Mccarthy calls Peres:

fact, he had told the generals t.
stand back while he tackled Nc
Carthy on this point in a public
hearing that had been scheduled
for yesterday.
The hearing was called Of
Wednesday after Stevens spent two
hours behind doors with Mccarthy
and three Republicans in his sub
committee: Senators Mundt, Soutt

Potter, Michigan.

them but the generals too. It gave
Stevens nothing.
