rodoys Dueing Kieggted With Sharp Words as Weopon

Where they did finally meet
was on the question Of honor
itself. Mr.. WEIGH and Mr.. Cohn
apparently have drastically diff
ferent ideas Of what constitutes
an honorable man.
Mr.. Welch and Mr.. Cohn
agreed that Mr.. Stevens is an
honorable manor at least
agreed that Mr.. Cohn still
thought Mr.. Stevens was such a
man around last Christmas.
But" said Mr.. Welch, recall
ing Mr.. COINS memorandum Of
November 2. "of a man you
thought was courteous and gen.
tie and kind and honorable. you
wrote these words:
"'He (meaning Mr.. Stevens) +.
suggested that we (meaning the
Mccarthy Committee) go after
the Navy, Air Force and Defense
Department instead. Mr..
Stevens thought this was an an
Swer to his problems"
Mr.. WEIGH suggested that for
Mr.. Stevens to inform on his
brothers in n{arms in the Pentagon
would comprise a most serious
breach Of honor.
Mr.. Cohn couldn't see it at all.
No ethical question at all was
involved. apparently. in his view.
He offered this curious explana-
ton. if not defense. of Mr.. Ste

Force and Defense Department.
II think was very careful" he
said. ito say which was the fair
and honest thing to say that
neither Mr.. Stevens or Mr.. Adams
ever suggested that there would
be false information or tnat they
wanted any untrue or unfair or
false things done concerning the
Navy and the Air Force or any
place else"
Mr.. Cohn. in short, left the i'm
preston he feels that loyalty to
oneself surpasses that due to
ones friends
Mr.. Welch tried and tried
again, but he could not get Mr..
Cohn to say that Mr.. Stevens
proposal, in underworld parlance,
could be called rafting"
mo, sir" said Mr.. Cohn, II
don't think of it that way"
Meanwhile, other duels were
brewing. Senator Symington has
asked Senator Mccarthy to step
outside-to the Senate floor, as
a matter Of fact. where, Senator
Symington says, he will stand
on senatorial dignity.
If the thing ever develops,
Special Committee Counsellor
Jenkins probably cannot be
counted on to hold their coats.
He doesn't seem to want to hold
anything much at the hearings.

ton which he has in regard to
this investigation. He retorts
by saying that he wants all OF
the old SmearS investigated"
At another point in his bitter
attack on the Missouri Senator,
Senator Mccarthy said:
II will not sign any of Mr.
Symington's letters for him
But let me repeat. while this has
nothing to do with this hearing,
If, in order to get Symington to
be a decent, honest individual,
and get on the stand here where

will be made to tell the truth so
I can croSS-examine him, I will
do almost anything in the world.
II that includes the creation of
a special committee, I will now
consent to go before that special
committee, and I will be glad
to answer any of these smears
that appeared in the Daily
Worker or any place elSe."
Army y-monitored phone calls
showed earlier that Senator
Symington worked closely with
Secretary Stevens at the start

with Senator Mccarthy and his
aides. The Missourian suggested

Stevens. The reading of the
Evening star., 1954-06-09
By Mary kAcGrory

Once upon q time II o man was
called q liar by another man. he
had q sure-fire way Of ending the
argument, II not the man.
He could meet him with sword
drawn or pistol primed some
morning before breakfast in a
quiet place known as the field Of
honor. Friends came along, and
q doctor. The man who left the
field alive had the last word.
The congressional hearing is a
large, bloodless and cumbersome
substitute for dueling, which has
been outlawed. No doctor is in
attendance at the Mccarthy
Army hearings. because the only
thing likely to be slain Is a mans
good name, and there's no cure
for that. Army Secretary Ste
vens and Mr.. Adams are not
even always in the room while
the question Of their honor is
thrashed out under the klieg
lights.
Still, there are occasional
echoes Of the days when knight
hood was in flower. Army Coun-
sellor Welch yesterday told young
Mr.. Cohn that he didn't see why
Mr.. Cohn had to fence with him.
AS a matter of fact, though.
this pair has done little else but
fence during the seven days that
Mr.. Cohn, who will answer the
call to arms in the National
Guard on Friday, has been on
the stand.
The first time they clashed
over a cropped photo, Mr.. WEIGH
was as deft as Douglas Fair
banks in his palmiest days, and
had Mr.. Cohn running all over
the field waving a wooden sword
at phantom enemies. But young
Mr.. Cohn is now on guard and
has become an artful dodger
Of Mr.. Welch'S tough questions.
Early in the game Mr.. WEIGH
had several 10-minute periods
as a demon swordsman, during
which he tried to press Mr.. Cohn
to the wall and sometimes cut
of his answers. But the next
day he explained he had been
accused of trying to tear Mr..
Cohn limb from limb and he
reverted to his earlier role of
one lawyer questioning another.
Mr.. WEIGH has moved around
constantly in choosing the ground
on which to engage Mr.. Cohn.
It seems every time they meet it
is on a different question. They
have had several academic dis
cussions on the constitutional is
sues involved. Yesterday morn
ing, they drafted a joint state
ment under the title of Lets
make the country feel a little
better" on the subject of our
beautiful Army. Navy and Air
Force"
