Mccarthy Hassle
Has Repercussions
In Army Department

WASHINGTON R-One of Secre-
tary of the Army Robert T. Stew
ens's chief aides has resigned,
deploring what he termed lack
of "full fighting support" from
higher up for Stevens in his trou-
bles with Sen. Mccarthy (R-Wis).
John F. Kane, a special assis-
tant under Stevens and before that
under former Army Secretary
Frank Pace, announced his resig-
nation from his $10,000-a-year job
yesterday in a letter congratu-
lating Stevens on the gallant
battle you are trying to put up
for the Army"
Kane, reached by phone, did not
say which of Stevens superiors
he felt hadn't rallied to the secre-
tary's side in the dispute over
McCarthy's handling of an Army
general questioned in secret ses-
sion. The Wisconsin senator has
been criticizing the Army for the
way it has dealt with alleged Com
munists in its ranks.
Army Excluded
But the only officials who rank
above Stevens are Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense Roger M. Kyes,
then Defense Secretary Wilson and
Kane did say he excluded "every-
body in the Army" from his lack
of support charge.
The Chicago Tribune said last
night that Stevens was reliably
reported" to have resigned.
But associates and Mrs. Stevens
said early today the secretary had
absolutely" and definitely" not
resigned.
Stevens, away from Washington,
could not be reached for comment.
Administration officials and Nc
earthly have been embroled in
controversy since Stevens several
weeks ago asserted he would not
stand by and allow Army witness
es to be browbeaten by congress
sional committees or by anybody
else.
This happened after Brig. Gen.
at Camp Kilmer, NJ, had com.
planned to Stevens about the way
Mccarthy questioned him on the
discharge of Maj. Irving PeresS,
a dental officer whom Mccarthy
called Fifth Amendment Com
munist."
Order To zwicker
Stevens ordered Zwicker and an
other general to ignore a McCar-
thy subpoena, fbut later rescinded
this order after a "peace confer.
ence" with Mccarthy and Repub.
hcan members of McCarthy's
Senate investigations subcommit-
tee.
The agreement was generally
regarded as a Stevens retreat
an Interpretation the secretary
challenged. Stevens-after a round

ferences-issued a new statement
reemphasizing his determination
never to permit abuse of people
under him. Mccarthy has stead.

abused any witness.

mention Mccarthy by name, but

Versatile Albert Leads
he Ideal Actor S Life
By Hal Humphrey

Eddie Albert leads the kind of
life that most actors dream
about but never attain.
. In the past year he has starred
In several Of TVS top dramatic
productions, won critics praise
in q new night club act he
createdswith his wife. Margo, and
is now in Arizona doing the role
Of Ali Hakim with the film COM
pany Of "Oklahoma!"
The versatility Of these juicy
roles, any one Of which the
average actor would gladly hook
his eye teeth to play. did not
come to Eddie by. accident. He
planned it that way, and in
doing so, took steps which
ordinarily would be considered
fatal to an acting career.
After gaining hts first fame in
the Broadway play, Brother
Rat" 18 years ago. Eddie came
to Hollywood where he appeared
IN the movie version Of that
comedy. His picture making was
sporadic, however. because
Eddie's ideas frequently didn't
,jibe with those of the studio
heads. One thing he never could
be accused Of being was a yes
man.
On one occasion he and Folk
Singer Burl Ives took of for

Eddie did sign UP for q situa-

Topped.
Until showing of last week for
the Oklahoma" movie location,
Eddie was emceeing NBC-TV's
Saturday Night Revue" He
plans to resume those chores
when he gets back. Margo may
appear with him then, doing
some of the song and dance
numbers they did in their night
club act.
Pinning Eddie down on his
future plans is impossible. He
doesn't know what he will do
next, and seems to prefer it that
way.
"TV has been a wonderful
thing for actors. Until it came
along the actor was always in a
buyers market. But TV changed
all that. Now, for the first time,
there is sellers market for the
actor.
"The only trouble with this
lush TV demand is, it has caused
us to grab the first thing which
comes along. We don't know
how long it win last" says Eddie,
grin11ing
Regardless Of the status Of the
actors market, I have a feeling
Eddie will go right on doing
what he wants to do.

The same gags and sketches

This is the opinion Of Henry

"It's all very simple" " explains
the quick-witted, Morgan. "Peo-

honey and down-to-earth fun
and banter.
That's what makes it so
tough to follow a great guy like
Garry Moore. He'Saa, natural at

A few years ago Eddie took on
a TV job which any other actor
would have considered the end
Of the line-emceeing a daytime

five hours a day.
Here again Eddie was able to
make 1t count as experience, one
which lasted five months. It was
soon after that he headed for
New York and TV roles which
became the envy of all Of his
actor colleagues.
OF all the ups and downs in

eyebrows and exclaimed:
I'm an expert at straight

radio in 1888 as an announcer.
All I ever did was straight COM

had no sponsor.
Later when I did get COM

Mr.. Stevens said the Army has
taken no action against three
other officers connected with the

this:
The three were only carrying
out provisions Of a congressional
law (the doctor draft law and
regulations, and, in the Army's
opinion, mo acts performed by
them manifested the slightest
indication of Communist SYM
pathy nor any other dereliction
of duty"
Mr.. Stevens said the three
were Maj. Gen. William E. Ber-

mandant at Camp Kilmer, N. j.,
when Maj. Peress was stationed
there, and Maj. John j. Nc

center at Camp Kilmer.
One other officer who handled
administrative papers connected
with the Peress case, MIR. Stevens
wrote, has been discharged for a
reason totally unrelated" to the

President Sends
Gen. Collins 70
Wet Nam Post
Former Chief of Stuff
To Lead Anti-Red
Efforts us Envoy
By jones {. Roper

President Eisenhower is rush.
ing Gen. j. Lawton Collins. to
Wet Nam to try to keep the
remnants of the divided country
from falling to the Communists.
Gen. Collins, former Army
Chief of Staff, few out of Wash
ington last night for Saigon,
where he will coordinate Ameri-
can efforts to hold the tottering
Indo - Chinese state together.
American military and economic
aid may follow.
The truce ending the Indo-
Chinese war provided that the
Communists would get military,
control of part of Wet Nam, with
the rest being technically inde-
pendent. The Communists, how
ever, have been pressuring the
free" part of Wet Nam, and
Wet Namese Premier Nego Dinh
Diem has been feuding with his
own Army commander. Evidence
points to a probable Red con-
quest of the entire country.
Lineup Changes.
The dispatch of Gen. Collins
to Saigon is only one of a series
of shifts in Americas diplomatic
lineup in the Far East. 1t was
learned today that William j.
Sebald, veteran of many a diplo-
matte duel with communism,
soon will be appointed Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State for
the Far East.
Mr.. Sebald will replace Everett
F. Drumright, who will receive
the personal rank of Minister
and be sent to Hong Kong as the
United States Consul General.
DR.. Drumright succeeds Julian
Harrington
Mr.. Sebald, a graduate of the
University of Maryland, served
as political adviser to Supreme
Allied Headquarters in Tokyo for
seven years, anw now is United
States Ambassador to Burma.
He speaks Japanese and has
written books in the language.
Mr.. Drumright has specialized
in the Far East almost all the
time since he entered the For
eign Service in 1880. He has
been Deputy Assistant Secre-
tary Of State for one year.
U. S. Concerned.
Gen. Eisenhower designated
Gen. Collins as q special United
States representative, gave him
the personal rank of AmbaSsa-
dor-and promised that the
assignment would be of limited
duration. In announcing the
move, the White House said
that since the Indo-C Chinese
truce, "the U. s. Government
has been particularly concerned
over developments in Wet Nam,
a country ravaged by eight years
of war, artif1cially divided into
