Cohn Reported
Pictures Existence

Pursuing that question, Mr..
Cohn advised that there was
in existence a picture Of the
Secretary and Mr.. Schine.
Please bear in mind, gentle
men of the committee, to
whom I am addressing my re-
marks, that after four hours
in court, so to speak, at which
time one is somewhat ex-
hausted, it is utterly impos-
sible for any human being in
my opinion to remember every
word that was said. In all fair
ness to the Secretary and his
distinguished lawyer, and in
all fairness to Senator McCar-
thy and his aides, I will not
here say definitely or positively
one way or the other that Mr..
Cohn told me that the picture
which was in existence of the
Secretary and of Mr.. Schine
was a picture of them
alone. I remember distinctly
that considered it important
enough that I requested the
picture be furnished me.
I want here and now in in
tersperse parenthetically and
state this: That Mr.. Welch has
co-operated with me in the
furnishing of all the witnesses
and every document that I
have called for 1000 per cent.

I can say the same thing for
Mr.. Cohn.

had seen the photograph
some day or so before l pre-
sented it, because l did not
know when I would be called
upon to question or cross
question the Secretary of the
Army. Nothing was said to me,
I am sure. about the photo
graph being altered. changed,
edited or otherwise. I accepted
it at its face value. called the
committees attention to this
tact, which l think probably
may be significant: l first
asked Mr.. Stevens about this
photograph when it was not
before me. The members of
the committee know that. I
asked him whether or not he
had been photographed with
David Schine. Then called
upon my aides to produce the
photograph, and 1T was done
so.
I next asked whether or not
he was photographed with
David Schine alone. Whether
asked that he was photo
graphed with David Schine
alone as a result of anything
that Mr.. Cohn may have said
I do not know. Whether I
asked that question as a re-
suit OF having the photograph
before me when I asked the
second question showing the
two of them alone, 1 do not
know.
Gentlemen. that is my ver-
sion of that incident, with this
further statement: That 1
would not under any circum-
staAces present to this COM
mittee a spurious document.
No intimation has ever been
given me by Mr.. Welch or
Mr.. Stevens or Mr.. Adams
that I would be handed a
document that was not genu-
Inc and authentic. No in
timation has ever been made
to me by Mr.. Cohn or any
member of his staff that any
document would be handed to

you did have this picture of
Schine and the Secretary?

Nothing Said to jenkins
About Cutting Out Person

Mr.. Jenkins-Mr. Cohn, was
the photograph introduced
yesterday delivered to me by
you or a member of your staff
prior to my crosS-examination
of the Secretary?
Mr.. Cohn Yes, Sir. n
Mr.. Jenkins-Was anything
ever said to me up to this time
about any person being cut out
, of that photograph?
Mr.. Cohn-No. sir. I do not
think anything was ever said
to you about any person being
cut out Of that photograph. I
would like to tell you, in the
interest Of accuracy, exactly
what was said and exactly
what was done.
I told you. sir, that on No
vember II when Mr.. Stevens
flew down with us to Fort Dix
to see Mr.. Schine that as we
were getting off the plane
there were a couple of Army
photographers. Mr.. Stevens
said they were Air Force pho
tographers. They very we'll
might have been, sir. There
were a couple of military pho
tographers, let's say, who were
waiting at the plane. Pvt.
Schine was waiting there, and
so was Gen. Ryan.
1 believe I mentioned to you
that Col. Bradley was there,
that Col. LaVelle was there. I
believe I mentioned to you,
sir, that Col. Bradley will be
one of the people we will call
as witness for us in this pro-
ceeding. I stated to you that
as we got off the plane and
these photographers stepped
up, Senator Mccarthy said
that we had to leave for Bos-
ton very soon and as far as he
was concerned he did not want
any pictures taken, he wanted
to get right inside and start
working.
At that point Mr.. Stevens
walked over to Private Schine
and said, This is picture I
would like to have. 1t is one
have wanted, SO let's have it
taken now"
l heard that. Senator Nc
Carthy heard that. and Mr..
Carr heard that. A picture was
thereupon taken.
I believe you akSed me, sir,
whether or not such a picture
was in existence. I believe I
told you that I thought that
it was, at which point I con-
tacted Private Schine. Private
Schine said yes. there had been
such a picture in existence;
that he had had it framed on
the wall of his office until re-

Cohn Doesn't Recall
Using Word Alone

Mr.. Cohn-No, sir, and I
don't believe, and I hope Mr..
jenkins will bear me out in
this, that I ever used the
word "alone." And I might
say don't think the fact that
Col. Bradley is standing to
the side changes the thing
one iota. But I don't believe
I ever used the word "alone"
to Mr.. Jenkins or anyone else.
Senator Mcclellan - The
point is, as the picture was
presented yesterday, it was
to corroborate the allegation
and the question that had been
asked Secretary Stevens with
respect to him wanting his
picture taken alone with Mr..
Schine.
Mr.. Cohn-Senator McClel-
Ian
Senator McClellan-Now, at
the time the picture was pre-
sented. counsel interrogated
Mr.. Stevens obviously under
that impression.
Now, did you give him that
impression that it was a pic
ture of the two taken alone?
Mr.. Cohn-No. the impress
sion which 1 gave him, I hope,
which is what the facts as I
know them were, was that
there was a picture of Secre-
tary Stevens and Mr.. Schine
taken at the request of Secre-
tary Stevens.
Senator Mcclellan: Well,
you recognize that as it was
presented yesterday, in testi-
clony elected from examina-
ton by counsel, that the testi-
mOny as OF yesterday did not
present the facts as they are.
Do you recognize that?
Mr.. Cohn-Sir. in that
Col. Bradley was standing
to the side, and the fact that
Mr.. Adams might be standing
next to them. yes.
Senator Mcclellan - Well,
that was not a picture of two
people alone.
Mr.. Cohn-Sir-
Senator McClellan-It was
a group picture. and the pic
ture of these two was standing
side by side and looking at
each other as you say. has

one question. Is the original
picture from which we now
have before us, what you call
a blow-up, is the original pic
ture in your possession or can
you produce it?
Mr.. Cohn-No, but I am
sure we can. I have an awful
lot of papers, and stuff to at
tend to and it is not in my
possession, but ! would say
this: I am sure it is under my
control, to the extent that we
can get members of the staff
it must be around some
place, and I am sure we can
get that up here.
Senator McClellan-Roy, I
just want to ask you. if at the
time counsel yesterday was
questioning Secretary Stevens
trying to elicit from him that
at his own request he had
had his picture taken with Mr..
Schine alone, did you then
know that the picture that
was on exhibition and being
made a part of the testimony
was taken out of a group pic
ture and not a picture of Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Schine alone?
Did you know that yourself
yesterday when those ques-
tions were being asked?
Mr.. Cohn-No, sir, and as q
matter of fact I did not even
catch the word "alone" put in
there by Mr.. jenkins. I did
not hear that word and I did
not catch that, Senator Nc
Clellan.
Senator Mcclellan - Well,

picture, and your producing it,
and making it available to
counsel for the purpose of

Senator JackSon-There are

Mr.. Stevens. If those respon-
Sible for making them repeat
them under oath, and you
deny them under oath before

is guilty of perjury.

will be the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
Mr.. Jenkins-I do, so help
me God.
Senator Mundt-You may
testify.
Mr.. Jenkins-I desire to
make this statement with ref
erence to the photograph about
which I cross-examined the
Secretary yesterday.
It is a part of my duty not
only to act as counsel for this
committee but in doing so to
investigate the facts. The first
several days after I was en-
ployed were spent by me in
investigating the side of this
controversy sometimes re-
ferred to as the Army's side.
Necessarily. I have had to be
at these committee hearings
during the two sessions in the
daytime and spend a great
deal of time in the evenings
with the committee investi-
eating its side.
Pursuant to that duty and
in order to enable me to pre-
sent the facts to this commit
tee as fairly as know how. I
have after each afternoons
session spent considerable time
in the Office of Mr.. Cohn, some
three or three and a half
hours last evening, some con-
siderable time last week. In
the course of my conversa-
tions with Mr.. Cohn he told
me of more than one request
by the Secretary to be photo
graphed with Mr.. Schine. He
= tol me that he had documen-
tary evidence to subStantiate
that charge. I considered it
extremely important in the de-
termination of one of the is
sues at least in this con-

cent events. at which time I
believe it was taken down.


I asked if he could get that.
He said he thought he could.
He went up to New York. He
procured that picture. He
brought it down. I did not
see it, and I might say to you,
sir, I did not know whether
Col. Bradley was standing in
the background or not. AS I
think back on it, I think that
there were three or four pic
lures that were taken on that
day. 1 think Mr.. Adams was
in a couple of the pictures.
Now, Mr.. Schine sent that
picture down here. 1t was
given to some members of
the staff. They took it down.
stairs to have copies of the
picture made. Copies of the
picture were made. One of
the members of the staff asked
me what to do with it. l told
him to send a copy of the
picture of Stevens and Schine
up to Mr.. jenkins. a blown
up copy. That was done.
I now find on inquiry of a
member of the staff that they
saw some third person who
was not recognizable and was
not recognized standing to
the side: that Mr.. Stevens
and Mr.. Schine were facing
each other and looking at
each other. There was a third
person standing on the side
and they thought that that
person had no relevancy. had
nothing to do with it, and
that the picture wanted was
the picture of Stevens and
Schine. That is what was
blown up. that is what was
sent up to you. I did not see
it before it was sent up.

How would that work? Slick!

less Taylor lands An enterprising gent could buy up
grazing properties and the rights with Them and then

He'd get the grazing rights pay the government so

his profit would be least $22 500 income with

bug his range-weary eyes out at bathing beauties.
Other sections of these bills would have up boards
composed of stockmen only largely
lands would be used-or misused far the public
might be concerned. The Forest Service would have
been stymed in administering every single resource
the forests.
Those bills blocked in the First Session; never
got out Of committee Protests of conservatonsts de-
luged Congress. While this went at Washington,
other action was going on out in the field.

Businessmen threatened with boycott If they
didn't knuckle under
Did these Americans knuckle under? One or two did,
the others were and still are, white-hot.
Congressman D'Ewart is regarded a man of high
order and principles He still may believe that those
letters spirited out of his office know pulled
