Vice President requesting the
appointment because "it con-
tanned false statements about
me-" and then continued:
"You are not fooling any one,
Senator"
With Chairman Mundt rap
ping for order, Senator Syming-
ton grabbed a microphone to
reply:
1.-THE American people have
had a look at you for six weeks
and you're not fooling anyone,
either, Senator"
Senator Symington accused
Senator Mccarthy of creating
lend runs of diversion after end
runs of diversion, in fact. so
many diversions that we would
have stopped this hearing long,
long ago if you hadn't thrown us
into so many side issues"
Earlier, Senator Mccarthy de-
clared the Presidents power to
prevent congressional commit
tees from receiving information
on loyalty matters should be
tested at the earliest possible
time by contempt proceedings.
Senator Mccarthy did not
make clear who he thought
should be the defendant in such
contempt proceedings. But he
conceded that a congressional
committee does not have the
power to subpoena the President.
Part of the Senator's row with
Secretary Stevens arose from
the Army's refusal to al
low members of its loyalty
screening board to testify be-
cause of a presidential order
barring such appearances.
Under questioning by Senator
Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois
Senator Mccarthy reviewed his
World War II military record as
Marine. He commented that
he was glad to have that oppor-
tunity in view of the smear
stories about him in the Com
munist Daily Worker and other
such publications"
Senator Mundt told reporters
yesterday the subcommittee will
meet in executive session to-
morrow morning to decide
whether it can write a single
report on which all MEM
berS can agree, or whether
it will produce separate reports
rejecting the party-line split
which has aligned the four Re-
publicans against the three
Democrats on several procedural
votes
Indications are that both sides
will write their own reports in
spite of Senator Mundt's fire.
quently expressed hopes that
everybody can be friends and
agree on a single analysis OF
the investigation.
WEIGH Tries for Point.
At one point yesterday. Mr.
WEIGH seemingly scored a point
by producing an application for a
reserve officers commission filed
by Pvt. Schine. Mr.. WEIGH said
the application was signed by
Senator Mccarthy, who hao
previously denied that he ever
signed an application for Pvt
Schine.
At the time, Senator Mccarthy
did not dispute the point. But
later, in the afternoon session
after choking the documents. the
Wisconsin Republican returned
to the fray.
Senator Mccarthy pointed
out that his name and that
of his chief counsel. Roy
M. Conn, had been signed al
witnesses to a statement by Pvt
Schine denying he had ever helc
membership in any subversiv'
organizations. He said he though
Mr.. WEIGH had been confused
when he suggested the Senator
signed an actual application TO
a commission on Pvt. Schine'
behalf.
Mr.. WEIGH said he would agree
"if you add that this loyalt!
oath accompanied the applica'
ton" Senator Mccarthy said j

but was not attached at the TIM
he affixed his signature.
At another point, Mr.. Welci
said that If Senator Nc
Carthy had given the Arm!
