the country may derive advan-
tages that are at least COM
parable to what it has suffered
in these respects. The Presi-
dent did not spell out what ad-
vantages he might hope for.
He could have meant it would
have been an advantage if the
public hearings being televised
from Capitol Hill resulted in
loss Of influence by Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin. Or his remarks could be
interpreted as seeing advantages
in a cleanup of the Army.
A possible clue to the Presi-
dents meaning came in a later
expression of continued conf
dence in Secretary of the Army
Stevens. whose row with Sena-
tor Mccarthy set off the current
hearings.
No Direct Endorsement.
The President refrained from
any direct Endorsement of Mr..
Stevens handling of his rela-
tions with Senator Mccarthy,
however.
He was asked whether Mr..
Stevens, who is in his tenth day
of testifying before.a Senate sub
committee investigating the
the charges and countercharges
in his row with the Wisconsin
Republican. has his full support.
Gen. Eisenhower said Mr..
Stevens was selected for his job
with great care and he knows
of nothing that would cause him
to lose confidence in Mr.. Stevens
administration of the Army. On
that basis, the President said.
he is backing Mr.. Stevens 100
per cent.
The President, whose manner
at his news conference last week
indicated utter disgust and ir-
ritation over the Mccarthy
Army row, was careful to try to
restrain his emotions in discuss
ing the matter today.
He was reminded that last
week he had said he hoped for
quick conclusion of the hearings,
and yet Army counsel had OBJ
jected yesterday to Republican
proposal to cut them short. He

was asked if this involved a con-

The President said with a
smile that he had noted in ac-
counts of his last weeks news
conference that his appearance
had seemed more important
than what he had to say and
that he would try to be more
careful today.
Then, rubbing his hands to-
gether and speaking slowly, he
said that when he had expressed
hope that the hearings would be
quickly concluded, he meant, of
course, concluded with effective
answers to the main issues.
Putting his hands on his desk
and leaning forward to speak
with great earnestness, Gen.
Eisenhower said he had only one
