Of
Lid Blows off as Hearings Near End
Mccarthy Launches
Bitterest Attacks
In Dispute to Dute

The McCarthy-Army hearings. at
long and welcome last, seemed
headed for an early close this
week end. Earlier in the sessions.
Army Counsel Joseph N. WEIGH had
referred to blowing the "long, hard
furrow." without really knowing how
long or how hard it would be.
Through Fridays meeting, the hear
ings had consumed 80 days and an
incalculable number of man-hourS.
The "box-score" on this page gives
a few more details Of its length to
date.
But no box score could show the
atmosphere of bitterness into which
the hearings descended last Wednes-
day. At the height Of controversy,
Mr.. WEIGH waded in to ask OF
Senator Mccarthy:
Have you no decency, Sir?"
The cause for Mr.. Welch's Ques-
tion-which received no verbal
anSwer-was an attack made by
Senator Mccarthy on a Junior
member of the Boston lawyers flrm.
The attack shed no light on the
issues at stake.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-06-13

Senator McCarthy's sortie came
while Mr.. WEIGH was cross-examin-
ing the Senator's chief counsel, Roy
M. Cohn, on the off-duty activities
of Pvt. G. David Schine while the
latter was in basic training at Fort
Dix, N. j. Few if any persons con-
sidered the line of questioning either
particularly rough or offensive. APP
parently Mr.. Cohn did not.
But Senator Mccarthy took ex-
ception to Mr.. Welch's questions,
and broke in on them with the
cry he knows best-the cry of red"
Stating that this was something he
thought Mr.. WEIGH should know.
the Senator revealed that Frederick
G. Fisher, jr., member OF Mr..
Welch's law firm, had at one time
been a member of the National
Lawyers Guild. This organization.
Senator Mccarthy pointed out, had
been named on the Attorney Cen
erals hist of subversive groups as
early as 1914 long before Mr..
Fisher joined it.
Neither fact was news, either to
Mr.. WEIGH Or to those who read
newspapers. There is no evidence
that Senator Mccarthy thought 1t
was news. Both facts had been pub
liShed even before the present hear
ings began, and the Senator knew
of their publication.
Senotor's Blost
But in his presentation, the Sen
ator. laid the facts out as infor-
nation of value to Mr.. WEIGH. He
spoke. apparently, with relish:
I'm view Of Mr.. Welch's request
that the information be given once
we know of any one who might be
performing any work for the Com
munist Party, I think we should tell
him that he has in his law firm o
young man named Fisher whom he
recommended, incidentally, to do
work on this committee, who has
been for a number of years a men,
Der of an organization which was
named, oh, years and years ago. as
the legal bulwark of the Communist
party :"
Throughout his speech-ignoring
Interruptions by Chairman Karl
Mundt. who was trying to set the
record Straight-Senator Mccarthy
referred to Mr.. Fisher as having been
recommended by Mr.. WEIGH to act
"as assistant counsel for this COM
nittee." This charge was fatty un-
true, as Senator Mundt pointed out.
Mr.. WEIGH had never recommended
Mr.. Fisher Cor any one else) to serve
on the committee staff under special
counsel Ray Jenkins.
The facts, 1t appeared on the
basis of information available even
before the hearings, were these:
Mr.. Welch's law firm was ap-
preached to act as special counsel
for the Army The firm selected Mr..
WEIGH as the senior partner in
charge of the case. Mr.. WEIGH ap-
pointed James st. Clair to assist
him. He took on Mr.. Fisher as q

From Marx to Eternity

Another feature of the week was
the appearance on the stand of Sen
ator Mccarthy as q principal wit
ness in his own right. He had been
on, briefly. once before, but only in
a collateral fashion.
Though communism was not the
issue before the committee, the Sem
ator was allowed-even encouraged
by Committee Counsel jenkins to
establish himself as an expert on
communism. His testimony, which
began Immediately after the Nc
Carthy-Welch f1areup had subsidized,
began with a presentation of the
Red peril as the Senator sees it.
Though he made it a minor pitch
rather than a major one, he struck
out in his discussion of communism
at the newspapers, most of which
have been critical Of his recent &C
tivitieS. In answer to a question by
Mr.. jenkins about fellow travellers,
Senator Mccarthy said:
Let me give you an example.
Let's say am a writer and I will
not join the Communist Party, but
I will associate with Communists, I
can be influenced to expound their
views and preach what they preach,
attack whom they attack. Then you
would list me as q fellow traveller.
We know in this room here
there are fellow travellers who will
preach as the Communists advise
them to preach, who will write as
the Communists advise them to
write. ="
Senator McCarthy's conclusion
was that while there are fewer Com
muniStS and fellow travellers now
than there were in 1850. they are
more dangerous now because they
are underground" Who among the
writer's In the room at the time he
spoke fell into the fellow-traveler
category. the Senator did not say.
In his answer to direct and cross
examination by Mr.. jenkins, the
Senator stuck to his guns that he
and his associates did not misuse
their power to obtain special favors
for Pvt. Schine. He also contradicted
testimony Of number of Army
side witnesses.
Fridays testimony by the Senator
was distinguished mainly by his
breach of witness etiquette midway
through the session. A secretary
whispered to him while Chairman
Mundt was making a statement,
and Senator Mccarthy interrupted
to ask for a two-minute recess in
mid-sentence. His request was re-
fused. Nevertheless, Witness Nc
Carthy got up and left, with the
chairman still talking.
There was nothing left for Sen

Foreign
LonieI Cabinet Falls,
Throwing Indo-C Chino.
EDO Into Confusion

Frances government exploded
yesterday at the end of the seventh
week of delicate negotiations over
the fate of war-ravaged Indo-China.
1t is too early today to judge where
the ricocheting pieces will land. The
one grim certainty is that the Krem-
lin stands to gain.
The French National Assembly set
of the explosion yesterday when 1t
voted. 306-293, to Gust Premier
Joseph Laniel and his cabinet. The
coalition which engineered the kill
ing was said to have double mis-
chief in mind. Some wanted to
soften the strong Laniel opposition
to BOBBY trapped Communist pro-
posals for peace in Indo-C China.
Others sought to ruin chances for
French ratification of the European
Defense Community treaty this year.
At their usually high emotional
pitch. the Assemblymen offered no
advice on how to get an honorable
peace in Indo-China or on develop
ing an alternative to EDO. In French
politics being for something is even
less desirable than in most other
democracies.
Horrible Timing
Timing of the French blowup
could hardly have been more painful.
Q At Geneva France was supposed
to be taking the lead in the Vests
search for q peaceful solution to the
Indo-China war.
. In the Red River Delta area of
Indo-C China, France and her Wet
Namese friends were bracing them
selves for the Communists about
assault on Hanoi, queen city Of
Northern Wet Nam.
. IN Washington the diplomats and
politicians were vacillating between
reSolute Intervention and irreSolute
pleading for caution, lest the United
States be involved irretrievably in a
war against the Orient's teeming
millions on the mainland Of Asia.
There is now a new urgency to
three old questions about the 1ndo-
China crisis:
/. What will the French do?
2. What will the United States
and its allies do?
8. What will the Reds do?
The brutal truth was unacceptable
this week end. The French haven't
found the answer to the first ques-
ton. The United States and its allies
are still searching for the answer to
the second. Only the Communists
know the answer to the last.

appeal not to "aSSaSSinate this lad
further: despite the chairs inter-
ruptions to set the record straight.
It could have gone on for. hours,
possibly. It did not. Near the point
Of tears. Mr.. WEIGH cut it OF with
these words:
''Mr. Mccarthy. will not discuss
this with you further. You have sat
within six feet Of me. and could have
asked me about Fred Fisher. You
have brought it out. If there is a
God in heaven. it will do neither you
nor your cause any good"
The audible manifestations of
approval or disapproval from the
audience" forbidden by committee
rule, indicated that most of those in
the Senate caucus room felt as Mr..
WEIGH did. Senator Mundt made no
effort to stop the applause. Instead.

France

What UtH France do?
The new French team-When it Is
picked and approved-will have to
make another attempt to come to
terms with the Communists at
Geneva. That much the National
Assembly vote indicated clearly. But
the Reds aren't in any mood to be
satisfied with crumbs-or even half
q loaf.
The American delegation has
been the first at Geneva to see the
Reds are supremely confident that
they can take all of Wet Nam by
force of arms If they can stall OF
Frances friends from coming to the
rescue. Britain's Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden gave evidence Of
coming around to this view last
week.
But the Communists have had
another objective at Geneva besides
Indo- China. They attained it yester-
day with the fall of the Laniel gov.

hopes that q new French govern

Ideas Differ
On Youth
Disappearance

TAMPA Up - Police investiga-
ting the case of Pensacola youth
whose bullet marked car was
found here are considering the pos
sibility of voluntary disappearance
as well as homicide.
There are two schools of
thought on it," Detective Inspector
o. c. Beynon said.
No reason has been found why
Glenn E. Mcdonald, 18, should
fake disappearance but at the
same time there is nothing con-
elusive" to point to violence
against the Florida State Universi-
ty freshman, Beynon said.
Mcdonald was last reported at
a filling station in Pensacola Sat-
urday. A youth answering his de-
scription was seen at Tallahassee
service station in the company of
two men later that day.
His automobile, with two bullet
holes near the drivers seat, was
found at a trash dump here Satur-
day night. A third hole, in the left
front window, first believed to be
a bullet hole, was made by some
instrument which left wood s1iVers
in the glass, the detective reported.
Beynon said the biggest objection
to the homicide theory was the
absence of any large blood stains.
If someone had been shot I'M the
front seat, as the bullet holes
might indicate, there should have
been considerable loss of: blood
right there, he said.
There we're some small stains
which are being given laboratory
test, though they are not believed
to be blood.
'sWe are not discounting the
theory of foul play but so far we
have no actual proof of foul play"
Beynon said.
Meanwhile friends of the family
continued checking all filling sta
tions between Tallahassee and
Tampa in the hope some attendant
might remember the youth. Pensa-
cola officers said several men
known to have been hitch hiking
from Mobile to South Florida are
being sought for questioning. Nc

No date has been set for the

traitorous acts while prisoner of
war in North Korea.
Nugent said after his repatriation
in 1858 that he had committed "no
acts of treason" and had made
propaganda broadcasts to save 72
fellow prisoners from execution.
