McC Corthy's Counsel Jousts
With q Pointed Legal Lance

has lived so long without brains
or guts." Mr.. Williams con-
tented himself with asking If
1T was not also true that the
Senator had gone on to say that
II the Senators who made the
report believed these things to
be true 1t hehooved them to
challenge the seating of Nc
Carthy at the opening Of the
new Congress the next day."
With the third committee wit
ness. Broadway Columnist Wal
ter Winchell. Mr.. williams raised
q sharp legal technicality. Actu-
ally. under the circumstances it.
was using lance where a tooth
pick would have done. Mr.. VIM
chell, exuding none of the conf
dence and flnality that charac-
terize his amplified utterances,
pictured himself as a new kind
OF newsman. That is, he does not
chase stories; stories chase him.
During the Army-McC Cartty
hearings. MIR. Winchell reported,
he was standing outside the eau
Gus room, and along came some
white male whom he could not
name. but whom he would rec
ognize on sight-and pressed
into his hands a copy of the 2A4-
page document. dramatically in
troduced by Senator Mccarthy
as an "FBI letter" by j. Edgar
Hoover.
Senators Amused.
Mr.. Winchell. to the amuse-
ment Of even the Senator's. art
lessly said he assumed it was
somebody who wanted to be help
full with some trivia"
Mr.. Williams wanted to know
how Mr.. Winchell knew it was a
copy of the document Senator
Mccarthy was handing around
If he had never seen Senator Nc
Carthy'sI document in the first
place.
Mr.. Winchell could not say,
and Mr.. Williams said he thought
"The Chair might consider in
its wisdom striking the testi-
mony."
On other occasions, Mr.. Will
liams has suggested not that the
committee has gone too far in
presenting its case against Sena-
tor Mccarthy but that it has
not gone far enough. In the
lengthy reading of the Army
Mccarthy hearings, MIR. Williams
pointed out that Committee
Counsel Chadwick skipped a few
pages. Also he has attempted
to place Senator McCarthy's al
legged misdemeanors against a
background of constitutionality
and Senate precedence.
| Mr.. Williams, in other words,
is bringing up a large legal hose
to play on the documents that are
smoldering on the long commit
tee table. Whether he can ex-
tinguish them the next few days
viii tell. Everyone agrees he has
his work cut out for him.

on several occasions. "Out Of the
facts, the law arises"
Senator McCarthy's lawyer.
Edward Bennett Williams. has
some rather gaudy facts on the
record to cope with. but he has
already given ample notice that
he is quite equal to the law.
No one. in fact. has contrib
uted more to the judicial atmos-
phere Of the censure hearings
than young Mr.. Williams. q
lynx-eyed, wavy-haired SMOOTH
tongiled young man who wears
shirts with buttoned down collars
and mas an air Of fierce atten-
ton. In q roomful of lawyers he
has yet to be outdone in the use
OF such legal terms as "pagina-
tion," "categorization" and "ap-
plicability."
AS he begins the case for Sem
ator Mccarthy. he must defend
the Senator before the Senate
and betimes defend the Senator
from himself. That is to say, he
must keep the articulate Sena-
tor Mccarthy from sounding of.
Plenty Of Success.
He has in the four days past
enjoyed considerable success.
Except at the opening session
when Senator Mccarthy added
his bass to Mr.. Williams tenor
in questioning Senator john
sons qualifications as an impair
tial member Of the committee.
the Senator from Wisconsin has
been q quiet man.
Since then Senator Mccarthy
has confined his remarks to
a receptive audience outside
the hearing room. NO one
blames Mr.. Williams for these
outbursts. Since they are in the
nature of criticism. however
they could conceivably be added
to the charges of contempt for
the Senate that the. Senators
are considering. Mr.. Williams

/ committee, scarcely ever ad-

spectful eff I may, sirs."
| Mr.. Williams strategy is ap.
parently based on an attemp
not to deny that the Senator
said and did the things he i.
charged with, but that he was
driven to them and was alway.
within his legal rights.
! When a reporter for the AS
sociated Press testified the Sen.
ator told him that Senator
Flanders, the author OF the
censure motion should be taker

did not challenge the statement

No Relation to Defense.
The 34-year-old counsel said
the information he sought to
elicit from Gen. Lawton has no
relation to national defense and
that ''it is absurd" to say the wit
ness should not relate his con-
versation with Gen. .Zwicker.
Chairman Watkins said he
was not in a position to rule and
asked if Mr.. Williams insisted on
the general answering the ques-
ton.
While Mr.. Williams and Sem
ator Mccarthy conferred. Sena-
tor johnson. Democrat. of Col
orado, vice chairman of the spe-
cial committee, entered the dis
cussion to say he thought there
was nothing in the Presidential
directive that should could keep
Gen. Lawton from answering
questions if no question of ma
tional security was involved. !
II think the committee is being
deprived of information it should
have" said Senator johnson
against whom Senator McCar-
thy raised questions of prejudice
when the censure hearings got
under way last week. "a Sena-
tors political life is at stake and
if national security is not in
volved we should have the in

Senator Watkins said an inn

and suggested 1t should be con-
sidered in a closed committee

Accusation of Marshall.
Senator Flanders said Senator
Mccarthy accused Gen. Marshall
of treason" in a Senate speech
June IA, 1851.
The Vermont Republican said
that although Senator Mccarthy
accused the five-star general of
treason he made no follow-up
effort to prove the charge or
have the case prosecuted.
Criticism and political at
tack from the floor of the Sem
ate is one thing" Senator
Flanders stated. "A charge Of
treason is something quite diff
ferent. A charge Of treason
cannot be shrugged off with the
explanation that it is merely
political attack ..... Senator
who makes such a charge
against a fellow American brings
the Senate into disrepute unless
he is prepared to prove the
charge
Senator Flanders, in another
letter to Chairman Watkins,
urged the cenSure committee to
look into the activities of two
former aides of the Mccarthy in
vestigation subcommittee. The
two are Roy M. Cohn, former
subcommittee chief counsel, and
G. David Schine. former unpaid
consultant of the subcommittee
who is now in the Army.

The Vermont Republican
specifically urged the Watkins
group to get all evidence possible

and Pvt. Schine in April. 1853.
when the two supposedly were
looking into alleged subverSive
influences in this country'S in

Senator Flanders said by their
conduct on the Europen trip Mr..
Cbhli and Pvt. Schine brought
| the Nation into disrepute and left
the world wondering whether we
knew what we were doing and
whether any reliance could be
| placed in our official actions"
| After the committee recessed
Senator Mccarthy made a brie1
appearance on television and
said he did not blame Gen. Law
ton for following the advice OF
Pentagon lawyers.

| Hypothetical Question.
s.
! After Gen. Zwicker had given
what Senator Mccarthy said
were unsatisfactory answers
about the Peress case at the
New York hearing, Senator
Mccarthy framed a hypothetical
question to the general. The Sen
ator asked whether a general
who allows an honorable dis
charge to be given to a major
who has pleaded the fifth
amendment should himself be
separated from the service.
| When Gen. Zwicker said he
did not think so, Senator Nc
Carthy replied:

Hoover assured him he would be
arrested in such an event.
The conversation, Mr.. Winch
ell said, ended when MS. Hoover
also gave assurances he wasn't t
kidding" Mr.. Winchell testified
that he thereupon returned to
the Shoreham Hotel and took
the copy into the bathroom
where he burned and flushed
it.
Winchell Is Hazy.
Despite haziness about the
man who slipped him the docu-
ment, Mr.. Winchel1 maintained
that he was convinced it was q
copy of the letter or memoran-
dunn that caused so much COM
motion and controversy at the
hearings last May.
The Winchell testimony drew
no comment from Chairman
Watkins except his disclosure to
reporters later that the COM
mittee had no intention Of "pur-
suing" that angle any further.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey submitted to
the Legislature yesterday a rec

out new or increased taxes.
1t was the third straight year
that Gov. Dewey had sent a
budget exceeding a billion dol
lars to his republican controlled
legislature. The spending pro-
gram outlined for the fiscal year
beginning April / exceeds by
1898 million his 1853 1854
budget of $1,000. 400. 600.
In a message tinged with opti-
miSm about the future, Gov.
Dewey indicated he felt business
and employment prospects for
the State in the year were good.
He said he stood ready. however,
to take emergency action to
check any recession.
In the light Of the available
evidence" he said. there is no
reason for anticipating a serious
recession"
The only extra tax will he IN

which the State intends to take

parimutuel betting and leave less
for the tracks.
Gov. Dewey estimated revenue
for the new fiscal year at $40
million greater than this year.
This he attributed to higher
levels of production. employment
and consumption In 1883"
