More Discord
Over Mccarthy
Hearing Seen
Stussen Lushes Out
At'HeudIine Hunters
In Reply to Senator
By Jack Bell
Assoeiotad Pross Stoff Writer

The Eisenhower administra-
ton seemed headed today for
continued conflict with Senator
Mccarthy, Republican. of Wis
consin despite cautions from
some Republican quarters
against broadening the Sena-
tors dispute with top Army
officials.
Foreign Administrator Harold
E. StaSSen looSed a fresh attack
on Senator Mccarthy yesterday
with an assertion that 1--WE need
less headline hunters and more
Eisenhower hackers for the good
of America"
With what some lawmakers
surmised was White House as
sent. Mr.. Stassen asserted Sem
ator Mccarthy had made a "le-
gion of false statements" in
Senate speech Wednesday in
which the Wisconsin Senator
said it was criminal folly" to
continue to give financial aid to
allies who ship goods to Red
China. Mr., Stassen wouldn't
say if the issue was discussed in
his meeting with President
Eisenhower yesterday.
Mr.. StasSen used strong terms
at a news conference in spite of
what an influential Republican
Senator said was his advice to
the White House: Let Senator
McCarthy's row with Army Sec
retary Stevens run its course
without unnecessarily tanning
further the flame of party dis
unity.
Eisenhower Supporter.
The Republican Senator, re-
garded as one Of Gen. EiSen-
hower's staunchest supporters,
declined use Of his name but
told an interviewer of his coun-
sci to White House officials.
II just reminded them" he
said, that Mccarthy is going to
be a Senator for four and half
years more and there will be
lot of occasions around here
when we may need Republican
votes"
Mr.. Stassen, whose agency
faces rough going in Congress
on its $50 billion new foreign
aid request. made clear yester-
day he does not expect to find
Senator Mccarthy among those
voting AYE"
Senator Mccarthy and Gen.
Eisenhower are at odds over a
presidential order cutting of
testimony about a high-level
administration conference at
which the Army's dealings with
Senator Mccarthy and his aides
were discussed. Gen. Eisenhower
issued his ban on grounds the
Constitution requires separation
of the executive and legislative
branches of government, and he
said the order was aimed at
keeping the televised Senate in
vestigation of the dispute ION
the rails" not at hindering it.
Mr.. Stevens then said charges
against Senator Mccarthy came
from the Army and not higher
up.
Senator Mccarthy, who has
voiced the opinion that Gen.
Eisenhower was acting without
full knowledge of the situation,
criticized the order again last
night at a Chicago plane stop
on his way to Wisconsin. He
termed it peculiar" because
Gen. Eisenhower wants the
public to have all the facts
except those on the one meet
ing"
"SlOw, Painful Suicide"
He said the Senate hearings
are causing the Republican
Party's "Slow and painful suicide
before the television cameras"
He refused to disclose what

Mr.. StaytOn said that the ONLY
serious problem confronting his de-

the number of deer wounded by
