WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Dec. 11.-Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell, addressing State
and territorial attorneys gen.
eral, touched only indirectly last
night on public school racial
segregation-an issue that once
upset initial plans for the meet
ing.
The annual session originally
was to have been held at Biloxi,
Miss, but Attorney General
Eugene. Cook of Georgia vetoed
an appearance there by Mr..
Brownell. MIR. Cook said he
objected because Mr.. Brownell
joined in urging the Supreme
Court to rule against public
school segregation.
Site Finally Chosen,
White Sulphur Springs finally
was selected as a meeting site
only after the group-the State
Attorneys General Association
decided against convening In
Arizona because Of a restricted
clientele policy at a hotel there.
Mr.. Cook, the association
president, was the first to greet
Mr.. Brownen last night and
joined in the laughter when the
Federal official told the group:
"Glad we finally got together
after travelling around the coun-
try"
Mr.. Cook frowned, but did not
comment, when Mr.. BroWnell
made his closest reference to
school segregation-that ''in the
fields which involve fundamental
rights and human obligations in
a civilized society, 1t is the Fed
eral Governments cardinal duty
to assume the equal protection
of the laws of all its citizens"
Urges Curb. on Drugs.
Mr.. Brownell departed from
his text to add that he believed
this was something 1--WE have all
come to recognize"
Turning to other matters.
MIR. BrowneH asked the State
and territorial legal officials to
work with the Federal Govern
me1t against Illegal narcotics
traffic and monopolies that re-
strain trade.

Too Hot for Release
BY John A. Giles

Telephone wires to the Penta-

call by Senator Mccarthy to
Secretary of the Army Stevens,
but a transcript of the 15-minute
talk seems too hot for release.
The transcript, persons who
seen it said last night. showed
the Wisconsin Senator admin
stored a tongue flashing to Mr..
Stevens after the latter ordered
army officers not to testify be-
fore the Senate investigations
subcommittee.
An aide to Mr.. Stevens verified
reports that such a call came
from Senator Mccarthy week
ago and that a transcript was
taken. But the transcript Is not
for the eyes or ears Of the
public and probably never will
be given out. the aide said.

Reported "More Abusive"
Other sources reported that
Senator Mccarthy, in berating
Mr.. Stevens, used more abusive
language than the Senator en-
ployed in his much-discussed
questioning of Brig. Gen. Ralph
w. Zwicker, commandant at
Camp Kilmer. N. j.
AS result of that questioning,
Mr.. Stevens accused Senator
Mccarthy of brow-beating Gen.

from his command. He asserted
at one point that ANY one with

misunderstood.
The Mccarthy telephone call
to Mr.. Stevens was not disclosed
during the tense developments
that were climaxed last week by
the calling off of a televised
showdown between the two men.
The scheduled Thursday session
was cancelled when they along
with other Republican members
of the subcommittee reached an
accord, widely regarded as a sur
render by Mr.. Stevens.
