Others Like Us

Carr Doesn't Think ArmyIs
''Coddling Communist" Now
Mccarthy Staff
Director Testifies
AT Today's Session

WASHINGTON Up - Francis P.
Carr testified today 81 don't think
at this time the Army is coddling
communists" But he said he
thinks Secretary Stevens and
Army Counselor John G. Adams
event to great lengths to prevent
exposure" of persons who cleared
Communists in loyalty investiga-
tons.
Carr, staff director for Sen. Nc
Carthy's Investigations subcom-
mittee, made the statements in an
exchange with Army Counsel
Joseph N. WEIGH in the 34th day
of the McCarthy-Army hearings.
Carr had agreed with WEIGH that
McCarthy's proposal to call Army
loyalty board members before him
was one of the main factors in
bringing on the collision" be-
tween Army officials and the sena-
tor.
Legal Issue
WEIGH suggested there is a grave
legal issue as to whether the Nc
earthly subcommittee could re-
quire testimony from Army loyalty
board members about cases they
had handled. He said Honestly
patriotic" persons could take the
view it would be "pretty awkward
to call up the judge and say how
come you decided the way you
did,"
Carr said: at may be a little
awkward, but l can't see if they
were doing their job and doing it
right they would have anything to
fear"
The issue is one which will hang
over from the present hearings as
Mccarthy mas said he intends,
once they are over, to renew his
efforts to get loyalty board men,
bers before him.
Old Problem
Sen. Dirksen (R-IlD commented
it is the old issue of separation of
powers between the executive and
legislative branches of govern

Dirksen said the issue will have
to be settled some day, including
the question of whether q congress
