National Affairs Review:

Michigan and Henry c. Dworshak
Of Idaho, a minority report signed
by all Democrats John L. McClel-
Ian of Arkansas. Henry M. Jackson
of Washington and Stuart Syming-
ton of Missouri, and two supple
mentary reports submitted by Sena-
tor Potter and by Senator Dirksen.
The majority summed up its find
ings this way: "We find no evidence
OF dishonesty or bad faith on the
part of any Of the principals in this
controversy as distinguished from
frequent evidence Of mistaken judg-
ment, injudicious action and indis-
Greet activities"
The minority was tougher on all
persons. Each. the report said,
merits severe criticism" for his
actions in the matter.
Senator Potter stood almost side
by side with the Democrats. Sena-
tor Dirksen wished to make only
two points to supplement the
majority report:
First, he thought the Army had
written its so-called Chronology of
Events in order to pressure the Nc
Carthy committee into withdrawing
its request for testimony from
Army Loyalty Board personnel, and.
second, he believed the famous
monitored telephone calls showed
the Army was overstating its case.
The reports boiled down to this:
Both sides, in the opinion of the
committee, were at least partially
right In their accusations and at
least partially wrong In their de-
malls. BY implication, both sides
had lied.

because of Frances NATO veto on

Adenauer government is advocating
another tack-to bypass France by
writing some kind of triangular
treaty with Britain and the United
States. This possibly could link
Germany into NATO on the same
kind of terms that Yugoslavia is
attached to it through the pact with
Greece and Turkey.
Even this scheme. however, needs

Germany complete sovereignty. For
France theoretically still has one

occupation. Since the French very
probably will not be able to agree
to give West Germany genuine sover-
eighty Gncluding the right to rearm
as it chooses), they may get sticky
about relinquishing their occupation
role. Then the best Britain and
America could do would be to offer
Chancellor Adenauer "two-thirds"
sovereignty.
All sides are hoping things don't
come to this pass. They almost did
once before. however, when the three
Western allies were making the
switch from military occupation to
allied civilian control. The French
dragged their feet. so Britain and
America started talking about "bi-
zonia" which would have left West
Germany two-thirds under civilian
occupation, one third under mill
tary occupation. France eventually
yielded to the pressure and accepted
the civilian formula.
To avoid this kind of scramble
again, the West is waiting-not 30
patiently-for France to come for

fire in ndo-China and the even
more recent collapse of the Euro
pean Defense Community plan did
little to endear Americas allies to
the veterans.
The anti-CommuniSt note was
sounded strongly by the Legion's
featured speakers, chief among
whom were President Eisenhower,
Francis Cardinal Spellman of New
York. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair
man Arthur Radford and Ambassa-
dor Henry Cabot Lodge.
Most of the resolutions passed at
business meetings fell into four
categories: Foreign policy, military
affairs, veterans affairs and Ameri-
canism. Chief actions taken by the
delegates follow.
Foreign Policy
On the line Of anti-communism,
the Legion took these steps:
. Urged the Government to "seri-
ously consider" severing relations
with Iron Curtain countries.
. Recommended restriction of
trade with the Soviet Union. (Such
trade already is under strict con-
troll
Q Asked that the Communist bloc
be warned that further aggression
will be met by United States action,
either unilateral or collective.
. Opposed admission Of Commu-
mist China to the United Nations.
In this same general field the
Legion also expressed regret at what
it termed abandonment of the
massive retaliation" policy, and
made clear its hope that a policy of
massive appeasement" would not
be substituted. Never a leading
partisan Of the United Nations, the
Legion rejected a move to call for
United States withdrawal from the
world organization, and passed in
stead a lukewarm Endorsement of
the u. NJ
In the area of what might be
called indirect anti-communism Gas
opposed to the direct type aimed
pointedly at the Soviet bloc), the Le-
gion took q number Of actions:
. Urged the rearmament Of West
Germany.
. Expressed opposition to any
agreement outlawing nuclear weap-
ons until such time as teeth could
be put into such an accord.
. Criticized the British and French
governments for their actions at
Geneva which resulted in the par
tition of Indo- China.
. Deplored Frances action in kill
ing. for all practical purposes, the
EDO plan.
. Approved the adoption Of
"Bricker-type" amendment, which
would restrict the Presidents power
to make certain types OF tnterna-
tional agreements. (The Bricker
amendment proposal was defeated

Legion Review:
Veterans Convention Here
Acclaimed as Big Success

BY this week end, it was all over
including the shouting. But for al
most a whole long. loud, glorious
week. the 36th national convention
Of the American Legion has been
everything the veterans had hoped
for.
From all points Of the compass
came the Legionnaires and their kin
folk-an estimated 10000 of them.
For week they brought confusion
to Washington, form of activity
closely allied to carrying Goals to
Newcastle. But no one minded (even
the overworked Metropolitan Police)
In fact. the Capital seemed to enjoy
watching the Legion perform as
much as the Legion enjoyed per-
forming.
And for all their good timing, the
Legionnaires were an orderly crew.
Those among them who were offici-
ally accredited as delegates and al
ternates were busy in the bargain.
The Big Parade
The high point. of course, was the
parade down Pennsylvania and Con-
stitution avenues. Billed as the big
gest thing since the Grand Army
marched for two days back in 1865.
the Legion's Tuesday march-past had
q little of everything-including the
hokum and advance billing that
normally goes with a circus parade.
Legion public relations men esti-
mated the number of marchers at
125.000. Disseminated policemen, as
signed to make head-count at
Sixth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., CLICKED 1854 participants.
Even so, it was quite a parade,
replete with housekeeping major

Some Washington merchants,
looking for a bonanza In the dol
drums just before Labor Day, were
disappointed in the dictionaries
apparent reluctance to part with
the money they had brought to town
with them. Others-notably hotel
men-were overjoyed at the capacity
crowds they we're catering to.
It was the Legion's first visit to
the Capital, but assuredly not its
last. Commissioner Renah Cana
j., lier, speaking for the District, invited
the Legion back in 1859.
So the National Capital will have
at least five years to rest up for
another Big Parade. The Legion tt
self will have only q year to re-
cuperate. It's Miami In 1855.

"It's the most unheard of thing I
ever heard Of" Senator Joseph r.
Mccarthy, Republican, Of Wisconsin.
said last week, and most observers
were inclined to agree with him.
In the course of one week he had
been criticized by all members of
one investigating committee and had
been bottled up by the stern attitude
of another. It was an unheard Of
and q most significant-week for
Senator Mccarthy.
Here were the two key actions:
. Formal reports of members of the
Mundt committee were made public.
Views of the Senators varied, but no
matter how you sliced them, all were
anti-McC arthy.
Q The new Watkins committee
opened up its investigation, and the
swift-moving judicial proceedings
froze out the obstreperous Wisconsin
Senator.
Joe Mccarthy had been set back,
but a new week was opening. and he
was scheduled to have another day
in court. The Great Mccarthy Saga
was far from ended.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-09-05

whether guilt could be proved in o
court Of law was another question.
The majority made several rec
concentrations for reform of COM
mittee procedure, most Of which
were aimed at curbing the free
wheeling activities of Senator Nc
earthly and his staff.
The minority and Senator Potter
took Senator Mccarthy to task for
using the two-and-one-quarte
'purloined letter" in the hearings
and for asking Federal employees to
come to him with other secret doc
uments touching on security matters.
No report recommended that any
one be fired. Mr.. Cohn, of course.
had already resigned. None of the
principals had any comment to make
on the reports. None indicated he
would step down or change his way
Of living.
The reports left matters about
like this:
Secretary Stevens and Mr.. Adams
had lost good bit of standing and
therefore some usefulness on Capt.
tol Hill. There was much speculation
that their designations would be
accepted as soon as it was politically
graceful to do so.
And Senator Mccarthy and his
famous methods also had lost
standing. The senatorial slaps had
pushed him little farther toward
the fringe Of political responsibility.

The Hearings

All Of the Mundt committee re-
ports were turned over last week
to the Watkins committee. And the
Watkins group solemnly added them
to large stack Of documents which
so far represent almost the entire
work Of the group.
After three days of hearings it was
clear the Watkins investigation was
no circus, no trial. 1t looked some
thing like an appellate court. some
thing like q routine congressional
study committee.
The contrast between the Mundt
and Watkins investigations, held In
the same room. was so striking that

Reaction

So far, these neutralist sentiments
have not influenced official policies
of any of the countries in Western
Europe.
The unco-ordinated out-pouring
of alternatives to the EDO approach

fact that it will be the episode
Washington will remember. The
real work was done In sessions

at the National Guard Armory,
where capacity restrictions had been
relaxed by order Of the District
Commissioners especially for the
Legionnaires.

was one Of mo compromise" with

The Reports

The Mundt committee spent SO
days looking for answers to these
questions: Did Senator Mccarthy,
his Chief Counsel Roy Cohn and
his Chief Of Stah Frank Carr put
improper pressure on the Army to
deliver Mr.. COINS friend, q. David
Schine, from the horrors Of buck
private's life? Or, did Secretary Of
the Army Robert T. Stevens and
Army Counselor John Adams put
improper pressure on the Mccarthy
committee in an attempt to halt an
investigation Of the Army?
There was also the more popular
question. raised after the two sides
had directly contradicted each other
in public statements and testimony:
Who lied?

fled.
