WASHINGTON R-Sen. McCar.
thy (R-Wis) moves back into the
witness role today for probably the
final scenes of the stormy and
wide-ranging inquiry into his dis
pute with high Army officials.
Mccarthy professed readiness
for a quiet windup, but there was
opposition questioning = viii c h
could lead to new disputes - over
the origin and timing Of IL typed
memoranda in support of the Wis.
consin senator's "b ack m T.
charges against Secretary of the
Army Stevens and Army Counselor
John G.. Adams.
Joseph N. WEIGH, Boston lawyer
who speaks to Mccarthy only on
the record, touched off a verbal
battle over the memoranda yester-
day as the Senate Investigations
subcommittee heard the last of tes-
timony from Roy M. Cohn and
Francis P. Carr.
WEIGH, special counsel for Stew
ems and Adams, made an effort to
discredit the memos and suggested
that Mrs. Mary Driscoll, McCar-
thy's secretary, had not typed one
of them as she had testified.
WEIGH Ignores Demand
Mccarthy demanded that WEIGH
take the oath and give any infor-
nation he might have ''that Mrs.
Driscoll is not telling the truth. "
WEIGH, who has clashed with Nc
earthly before, ignore ID the de-
mand.
Mccarthy voiced confidence that
he has refuted the Stevens-Adams
charges that he, Cohn and Carr ex-
erted improper pressure to get
preferential Army treatment for
Pvt. G. David Schine, a former
aide drafted last Nov. 3.
He told newsmen he plans to
''inject nothing new in this thing
that would cause more delay"
Yesterday Mccarthy told the
subcommittee, on which he has
vacated his seat for the current
hearings, that the charges against
Cohn, its chief counsel, and Carr,
chief of staff, have been proved
false. Carr was dismissed as a
principal in the case on May rs by
a 4-3 vote when subcommittee Re.
publicans OVERRIDE Democratic OPP
position.
Army witnesses repeatedly have
denied the Mccarthy Coin charges
that they attempted to use Schine
as a hostage" in trying to side
track an investigation Of alleged
Communists in the Army.
Acting Chairman Mundt (R.SD)
said WEIGH had assured him he
could finish his cross-examination
of Mccarthy during the day.
Whether the hearings would lap
over into seth day tomorrow ap.
peared to depend on the amount
of senatorial questioning.
N Short Questioning
Sen. Symington (D-Mo), subcom-
mittee member who has tangled
most often with Mccarthy, said his
questions would not take "too
long"
WEIGH precipitated yesterdays
principal battle when he suggested
that Jan. Is memo Carr said he
scrubbed out and handed to Mrs.
Driscoll to type was not typed by
her at all.
Mccarthy broke in to say he was
"getting awfully sick of these inu-
endoes." He said Mrs. Driscoll had
testified that she typed all of the
memos.
eff you have any information
that Mrs. Driscoll is not telling
the truth then you should be will.
ing to !. take the oath and give
us the information" Mccarthy
said.
'If not, Mr.. WEIGH, let me say
you should either apologize public
ly to Mrs. Driscoll or take the oath
and tell us what information you
have"
WEIGH replied that the memo
showed on its face that it was from
''Francis P. Carr" He told Carr
that "she never called you Francis
in her life, did she?" Carr said
that while his name was really
Francis p" Mrs. Driscoll usual
ly calls me Frank"
Mccarthy interjected that there
are memoranda in my office
from Francis Patrick Carr, from
Francis P. Carr, from Mr.. Carr
and if WEIGH wanted to accuse
a young lady because she says
Fancis instead of Frank, of lying
on the stand, then he should take
that stand himself"
