Carr to Testify
At Senate Probe
If He's Needed
By John A. Giles and
Allen Drury

Senator Mccarthy announced
today that Francis P. Carr would
be available to testify in the
investigation Of the Army-Mc-
Carthy row and Chairman
Mundt made it plain the sub
committee staff director would
appear as a witness.
In a letter to Senator Mundt
the Wisconsin Republican said
Mr.. Carr was deeply disturbed
to learn" that the committees
action in dismissing him as a
principal in the controversy twas
interpreted by some that he
would not be available to testify"
The announcement resolved
one of the potentially explosive
elements in the televised public
hearings. 1t came just before
Roy M. Cohn began testifying
for the second day in which he
pointedly contradicted sworn
testimony by Army Secretary
Stevens on alleged efforts to OBJ
tain a direct commission and
special favors for Pvt. G. David
Schine.
The four Republicans on the
Investigating subcommittee out
voted the three Democrats
Wednesday afternoon to dismiss
Mr.. Carr and then by the same
vote decided against calling him
as a witness. Democrats i'm
mediately called the action a
"whitewaSh," and public reaction
indicated the charge had struck
a sensitive point.
Carr Willing to Appear.
Senator Mundt said he met
Mr.. Carr yesterday and the latter
told him that "he felt he should
have an opportunity to testify if
anybody wants him."
He then read Senator Nc
Carthy's letter saying Mr.. Carr
would be available as a witness
with the comment that "this
proves the committee action is
reversible"

PARIS. May %. - Optimists
are coming out of the woodwork
again.
After weeks of almost unre-
lieved gloom, the chances of
reaching an agreement with the
Communists on Indo-C China seem
to be imroving. And this in it
self is enough to start off a
stream of speculation about the
pleasant things that could hap
pen once that big hurdle is
crossed.
It's a bit like that moment in
the highwire circus act when it
begins to seem just barely pos
sible that the bicycle with its
precarious load will actually
make it across to the other side.
No lne at this point is breathing
or increasing his fingers. But to
be hopeful now seems less absurd
than it did a few days ago.
To take a determinedly bright
view these are the things which

that the Mellon Institute in
Pittsburgh had developed a syn
thetic varnish that would not
change color or turn yellow with
age. and would give a permanent
coating to protect paintings.
Mr.. Finley added he would be
delighted to send the President
some.
In thanking him, the President
replied that at some future

million in small arms and am

The United States reacted by
flying about 10 tons of war goods,

N. WEIGH made a strong plea for
the retention of Mr.. Carr as q
witness on Wednesday when the
latter was dismissed both as a
principal and a witness.
Whatever you do with him as
a principal, I cling to him as a
witness" Mr.. Welch pleaded,
with the statement that THAT
strong silent man" would be
necessary to clear up many
points in the controversy.
Democratic members of the
subcommittee had reported their
mail is running heavily in favor
of their votes against diSmissing
MIR. Carr as a principal in the
Army-McC Carthy investigation.
But the four Republicans
say they just haven't had time
to read their mail and find out
what it does, say on the subject.

ton, Democrat, of Missouri said
yesterday it had received 80

Senator Jackson of Washing

The Office of Senator Mcclellan

Republicans Dirksen of Illi-
nois, Mundt of South Dakota and
Dworshak of Idaho said they
hadn't even seen their mail.
Senator Dirksen in fact, said his
mail had lust piled up in sacks"
without even being opened.
The Office of Senator Potter Of
Michigan had received approx
mately Is wires. but a clerk said
it was hard to tell whether favor
able or unfavorable comment
predominated.
Senator Mundt commented
that the Mccarthy letter would
make Mr.. Welch quite happy"
and that now "the strong silent

time you wish to question him."

Council, said there had been a
lack of cooperation and q lack
of money for civil defense.
Representative Wilson, Repub-
lican, of Indiana, chairman of
the District subcommittee Of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, asked sharply, what do you
mean by lack Of cooperation?
Would you recommend that we
take funds from the schools. po-
lice and health departments and
transfer them to civil defense. y
The question led on q debate
involving three of the days Is
witnesses, who ended two days of
testimony by II citizens.
Plans Inspection Trips.
Chairman Wilson said after
the hearings ended that he
planned to make several trips
of inspection to District insti-
tutions before the subcommit-
tee gets down to work on the
big problem of writing UP the
Districts appropriation bill.
He said that next week he
will probably go with some COM
mittee members to Blue Plains.
Later he wants to visit at least
six different schools, to get q
clearer personal picture on
which to act on numerous re-
quests by witnesses for more
funds to satisfy vital needs.
Mr.. Wilson said he wants tc
visit three of the worst schools
in overcrowding.
One of the outstanding fea.
lures of the two-day hearing
Mr.. Wilson said, was that nc
witness appeared to ask for q
reduction in the big expenditure
bill.
Referring to the fact that the
big budget is now financed in
part by new taxes and a pro.
posed increase in the Fedora,
payment to the city. Mr.. Wilson
said the testimony showed that
apparently people here ARE will

have needed"
Civil Defense Cut Seen.
The row over civil defense was
a strong forecast of sharp cuts
to come in the city's request for
| $208, 900 for that purpose.
Chairman Wilson charged that
"Orson Wells could do more to
create interest in q 15-minute
radio program through fear psy-
chology than this thing could do
