Probe From Army
By }. A. o'Leory

can, of Wisconsin, today accused
the Army of trying to black
mail" him into dropping his
Senate investigation of Com
munist inf1ltration by making
public its critical report against
Roy Cohn. chief committee
counsel.
The Wisconsin Senator said
John Adams. Army legal adviser,
came to his apartment some
time ago and told him of the
report that was being prepared
on Mr.. Cohn. The Senator said
Mr.. Adams implied the report
would be released if he continued
his investigation of the Army.
Senator Mccarthy also made
public a memorandum from his
files accusing Army Secretary
Robert Stevens of having urged
him Ito go after" the Navy. Air
Force and Defense Department
instead of the Army.
Digest of Meeting.
The memo purported to be a
digest of a meeting held at the
Pentagon between Mr.. Stevens
Senator Mccarthy. Mr.. Cohn
and Frank Carr. associate COM
mittee counsel.
Mr.. Adams also was present at
what the memorandum described
as luncheon on Friday. Mo-
vember 6. The memorandum
continued:
Stevens asked us to outline
what evidence would be produced
at our scheduled hearings on
the Army Signal Corps, which we
did. Stevens said that if we
brought out everything he would
have to resign. He said he had
been in office for 10 months, and
would have to take responsible
ity. He said they were particu-
larly worried about us seeking to
identify those who were respon-
sible for not acting to get rid
OF Communists and security risks
In the Army. and who had or
dered their reinstatement.
"Mr. Stevens asked that we
hold up our public hearings on
the Army. He suggested we 20
after the Navy. Air Force, and
the Defense Department instead.
We said first Of all we had no
evidence warranting an investi-
cation Of these other depart
ments. Adams said not to worry
about that. because there was
plenty of dirt there. and they
would furnish us the leads. Mr..
Stevens thought this was the an
Swer to his problem.
We said this was not possible
because we have already planned
our next investigation, which
was one of subversion in defense

Case Involving Girls
Mystery Deuth
BY the As.oeioted Pres.

ROME, Mar. 12.-Premier
Mario Scelba's shaky young gov

resignation of National Police
Chief Tommaso Pavone follow
ing court testimony linking him
with Italy's biggest postwar
scandal-the mysterious death
of Wilma Montesi. a high So
ciety party girl.
Resigning last night, Chief
Pavone in a statement denied
indignantly and in the most
categorical manner" allegations
implying that he had shielded
and received gifts from-one
of the men prominent in the
case.
Chief Pavone said he would
take legal action to clear his
name.
Blow to New Coalition.
1t was a major headache for
Mr.. Scelba, who won final par
liamentary confirmation yester-
day for his month-old coalition
government by only a 17-vote
majority in the Chamber of Dep
uties. During the parliamentary
debate the Communists accused
the regime and Chief Pavone in
particular of trying to hush up
the MonteSi scandal.
Chief Pavone, whose job cor
responded to that of the FBI
head in the United States, said
he was resigning to have the
liberty necessary to protect my
person"
Mr.. Scelba appointed Raffaele
de Caro-. a minister without
portfolio, to head an investiga-
ticn into the whole tangled case,
in which many high persons
have been named, including
Piero Piccioni, >son of Foreign
Minister Attilio Piccioni.
The nude body of the Montesi
girl was found on the beach at
Ostia. Rome's nearby Lido, last
April. The police report said
there was no reason to believe
she had died of anything other
than accidental drowning.

report said Mr.. Cohn voiced
threats that Secretary of

Senator Mcclellan said he ia
vored a public airing of the
charges with Mr.. Cohn testify

Potter demanded an immediate

Senator Mccarthy, however,
said he doubted a meeting could
be held today, since he has to
leave at S pm. to fulfill a speak
ing engagement in Wisconsin.
He plans to return to Washing
ton on Monday.
ANY one who has a charge
made against him, including Mr..
Conn.," said Senator Mcclellan,
els entitled to a fair and decent
hearing. I'm sure the minority
members of the subcommittee
are going to give him every op-
portunity to deny the charges or
make any explanation he may
wish"
Senator Potter said thar if
the charges are without founda-

to Mr.. Cohn.
When a reporter pointed out
that the Army report also indi-

It was a common practice for
policemen to accept gifts in 1850.
Attorney Charles E. Ford told
a police trial board today.
He said he has under subpoena
many of the top brass in the
Police Department. from the
Chief Robert v. Murray on
down, including many inspec-
tors" to testify about gifts they
received.
There's nothing wrong with
that" he declared.
Mr.. Ford made the statement
during the hearing of admins
trative charges against suspend
ed Inspector Beverly c. Beach.
who is accused of taking a $3.50
gift from Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt Whitney. wife Of the
former Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy.
The attorney spoke of his in
tention to query policemen about
gifts they received in an effort
to have the board rule whether
Inspector Beach was accused of
accepting the money "for police
services" as the charge states.
He said that If the money was
accepted for police services he
would have no need to call the
top policemen.
Murray Bans Practice.
Former Police Chief Robert J.
Barrett was in charge of the
Police Department in 1850. Since
Chief Murray has been in Office.
he has issued strict orders to
policemen not to accept gifts
from persons with whom they
have official business.
Mr.. Ford said there is moth
ing wrong in a policeman taking
a gift. as long as it is not for
police services or not given to
keep a policeman from enforc-
ing the law.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert D. Wise today called sew
eral Georgetown businessmen,
who testified that they con-
tributed to a 7th precinct
Christmas fund in 1850. 1nspec-
tor Beach is accused of collect
ing money to buy Christmas
baskets for needy families and
then using part of the money
for a private party for 7th pre-
cinct policemen and their fam
lilies.
Those called and the amounts
they said they contributed were:
Joseph M. Wise, Georgetown
real estate man. $40; Eric B.
