WASHINGTON @-Republicans
On the Senate Investigations Sub
committee looked today for an APP
proving word from Sen. Mccarthy
(R-Wis) which might telescope
sharply the inquiry into the Wis
cousin senator's bitter dispute with
Pentagon officials.
Sen. Dirkson (R-Ill) said
"serious consideration was being
given to an Army-sponsored pro-
posal to limit further testimony in
the controversy to the chief an
tagonists - Mccarthy and Secre-
tary of the Army Stevens.
Fate of the suggestion appeared
to hinge largely on McCarthy's
reaction.
Although SEN. Mcclellan Cd
Ark and other Democrats stood
firmly for testimony by all six
principals" Republican mem
bers who outnumber Democrats 4-3
seemed to be lining up for a short
cut. Some of them are known to
feed the inquiry is doing the COP
no good.
Sen. Symington Of Missouri, say
ing he spoke for the Democratic
subcommittee members, declared
in statement last might:
"Most serious consideration has
been given by the Democratic
members Of the committee to
limiting of further testimony to
only two of the principals. We feel
that all six principals, having been
accused, should be heard"
Ways to shorten the televised
inquiry were discussed at a secret
subcommittee session after yes
terday' hearing produced long
wrangles during cross-examination
Of Stevens by Mccarthy and his
chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn.
Also involved was the Army
counselor, John G. Adams. He and
Mccarthy disputed the meaning

and means Of expedMing and

ceedings."
AT the session late yesterday,
Jenkins was directed to make such
survey in cooperation with the
other attorneys in the case.
Sen. Potter (R-Mich) would not
comment publicly in advance Of to-
days session, but he is known to
have told friends he thinks every
major point concerning any OF the
Nice arthy-Army charges could be
covered by testimony of cCarthy
and Stevens.
Mundt said he doubted much
progress could be reported imme-
diately but held out hope for some
compromise. He said it was OBJ
vious the hearings would continue
some time" at their present pace.
In any event, Mundt said, the
committee wasn't going to "abdi-
cate" by stopping the hearings
without judging the dispute. In
stead, he said arbitration" will
be tried in an effort to narrow the
charges, eliminate some principals
and cut down On the number of
Witnesses. i
Mccarthy, as his own counsel,
could report whether he cared to
take the brunt Of testimony and
possibly eliminate Cohn and Fran
els P. Carr, his subcommittee
chief of staff, as principals under
Army charges that they sought
favored military treatment for a
former aide, Pvt. G. David Schine.

day that there might be an effort

yesterday that Representatives"
of the Army secretary had COM
municated with members of the
Mccarthy subcommittee in Jan.
uary "and said that If Sen. Nc.
earthly persisted in his plan to call
members of the (Army) loyalty
board who had cleared Commu-
nistS," Stevens office would issue
nasty report" about Cohn.
Stevens said he had been told
that Adams "called on some mem
bers of the committee" but he
hadn't heard of any such threats.
Cohn asked if Adams hadn't
asked the help of senators Ito stop
the issuance of subpoenas to men,
bers of your loyalty board which
has cleared Communists"
''He told me substantially along
that line, yes" Stevens replied.
Dirksen said he had never been
approached about any threats" to
Cohn. Potter said in a separate
interview that while the loyalty
board matter was discussed with
him, 81 never heard anything about
Cohn. Stevens said it was his under
standing that under a presidential
order, loyalty board members were
not to be made available for testi-
mony.
Cohn said, however, that a mem
Der of an Army screening board
he named as Sherrod East had
been subpoenaed by the investigat-
ing committee and chad appeared
without any legal objection" Oct. 9.
Stevens said at first East's name
didn't "ring a bell" with him but
later conceded Cohn had talked to
him about the matter.
The committee has promised to-
day at least four versions Of a
proposed news statement McCar-
thy said Adams tried to get him
to issue last Oct. 20 but which he
refused to approve.
Mccarthy contended that he told
Adams on plane ride to Fl. Mon
mouth Oct. 10 that a draft ne said
Adams had made after conSulta-
ton with Cohn was unacceptable
because / felt it would be con-
Strued by the press to mean that
we were withdrawing from the in
vestigation of communism at Fl.
Monmouth and we were not
Adams contended that there was
no attempt to stop the inquiry. He
said the statement showed that on
its face.
A proposed draft read to the
committee would have quoted Nc
Carthy as saying that his commit
tee had brought out the names OF
suspects in the secret radar labora-
tory "and from here forward the
Army should be able to finish the
job we have started"
Mccarthy said this showed the
Army's anxiety to end the hear
ings. But Adams said Mccarthy
was leaving out an important para
graph which read:
"There are still some witnesses
under subpoena by the subcom.-
mittee and they will be heard later
this week in New York in exccu-
tive session. Following those hear
ings it is our present plan to hold
open hearings on the same subject,
probably in New York"
"That doesn't mean closing the
hearings" Adams said, adding to
Mccarthy: "Read the whole men,
orandum in context"
Lets keep our tempers," NC
Carthy told him. "Let us make
this clear, Mr.. Adams. am not
accusing you of any wrong intent. "
"Oh, aren't you?" Adams re-
piled.
Don't interrupt, please" Nc
Carthy said. "Please don't inter-
rupt until I finish"
"You aren't accusing me OF any
thing?" Adams demanded.

QUESTION: Why is this Sab
bath so dedicated with this spe.
cial reading Of the Red Heifer"?
ANSWER: In the case of the
Paschal lamb that was consumed
during the original Passover fes-
tival in the days of the Temple,
it was a rule that only those who
were ritually pure and clean were
forbidden to partake of the lamb.
They could, however, after the
affixed period of uncleanliness, be
purified. with the mixture con-
tanning the ashes of the Red
Heifer.
This additional reading and
special Haftorah were thus in
stituted to remind the populace
that it was time to be careful in
preventing ones self from coming
in contact with the dead so that
one be pure in order to be able
to eat the Paschal lamb. Or, if one
had become impurified, he was
reminded of the advisability of
observing the required cleansing
process through the ashes Of the
Red Heifer, in order to become
pure again in time for Passover.
Today, when we no longer have
this purifying process, these read
ings serve to remind us of the
ancient purity of our people, as
well as to advise us to be pure
in mind and in heart, in order to
properly enjoy the Passover
seder. Thus it is that on the Sab
bath that usually falls after the
Purim festival it is customary to
read these special portions and to
dedicate the Sabbath as "Parshas
Porch" as part of the preparatory
practices before the coming of the
Passover festival.
