A parade of top Soviet general
officers last week paid glowing
tribute in the Moscow press to the
leadership of the armed forces by
the Communist party-and Stain.
The tributes, coming on the
Soviet army day last Tuesday, laid
such heavy stress on party devo'
ton that they suggest an internal
necessity to impress the point
upon armed forces, party and
public.
The mentions of Stain had
just a hint of the unabashed ex'
travagance which attended use Of
his name in the press during his
lifetime, an indication that Stain
ism still reigns in Moscow, al
though the leaders glory has beer
somewhat dimmed in death.
The stream of laudatory articles
gives the impression that the
party's prese rulers have
reached some sort of understand
ling with the armed forces. The
ARTICLES read almost as if all ha6
been dictated by the same source
las if in the discharging Of an obi
lgation.

forces safely under control, the

of the Army's charges. Under

Mr.. Stevens testified that:

January 81 meeting was to get
an Interpretation of existing di-
receives governing testimony by
members of the Army Loyalty
Board. The Mccarthy subcom-
mittee was anxious to subpoena
members Of the board at that
time and the Army felt such
testimony was prohibited by
executive order.
2. The Army accepts full re-
sponsibility for initiating the
charges against the Senator. al
though it had help in preparing
them from H. Struve Hensel,
then general counsel of the De-
partment of Defense and now
an Assistant Secretary Of De-
fense. Mr.. Stevens said he also
discussed the Schine matter with
Defense Secretary Wilson.
3. Mr.. Stevens did not "put
out" the charges in the sense Of
making them public, and he sees
no discrepancy between his prior
denial of this and his testimony
yesterday that he accepted re-
sponSibility for their preparation.
The charges were sent to men,
bers of the subcommittee at the
request Of Senator Potter. Re-
publican, of Michigan, and from
there were leaked to the press.
Senator Mccarthy said he
thought this discrepancy in Mr..
Stevens testimony indicated
that "his memory is very bad
or it's perjury"
(Following is the earlier testi-
mony of Mr.. Stevens, given in
reply to questions Of Senator
Mccarthy on May 6:

Senator Potter'S letter. An an

Potter and to all members of
this committee and other men,

inquired about it.

hearings on the Army McC Carthy
feud. They have been cleared for
submission to Special Counsel
Ray H. Jenkins by all seven sub
committee members. Other calls
from Senator Mccarthy and his
staff have already been submit
ted by the Senator. The Army,
however, has been reluctant to
release its own transcripts until
assured all parties to the dispute
agreed.
Chairman Mundt announced
late yesterday that he has
asked the Army to furnish a
letter today authorizing release
of the conversations to Mr.. Jen-
kins. The subcommittee will
then decide whether all, or any,
are to be made public as part of
the hearing records.
The investigation resumed yes
terday after a weeks recess oc-
caSioned by a fruitless attempt
to persuade the President to
relax a no-talk ban prohibiting
top officials from testifying on a
January 81 meeting in the JUS
tice Department. At the meet
ing, according to earlier testi-
mony by Army Counselor John
G. Adams, Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams suggested that
Mr.. Adams prepare a chronology
cal report on the activities of
the Mccarthy staff in allegedly
seeking better treatment for Pvt.
Schine, former chief staff con-
sultant to the subcommittee. The
President issued an executive
order on May II forbidding any
of the participants to testify on
the meeting.
Iron Curtain Charged.
Senator Mccarthy promptly
charged that the administration
had rung down an Iron curtain"
which would make it impossible
for him to prove his assertions
that there was a conspiracy to
stop his investigation of Com
munist infiltration in the Army.
When the President refused TO
modify his order, it appeared for
a time that the hearings might
not be Sesumed. However. Army
Secretary Stevens issued a state
ment on May 81 accepting full
responsibility for preparation of
the Army's charges against the
Senator, and yesterday the in
vestigation reopened as sched-
uled with all hands present.
