It was learned reliably that

The proposed settlement, still

to receive any information re-

right and a duty to give such
information to this investigat-
ing committee.
He added that the meat" Of
the whole Army McC arthy row
was the question Of security
versus giving the necessary in
formation to the American
people,"
Senator Symington recalled
that he had questioned Francis
p. Carr, subcommittee staff di-
rector, at length about how
the committee files were ham
died. Then he went on to say
that he was distressed" to hear
Mr.. Carr's description of the
files and the reactions" of Sen
ator Mccarthy. The Wisconsin
Republican had heatedly chal-
lenged Senator Symington's
questioning of Mr.. Carr late
Monday. and the latter replied
that in all his years in Govern
ment. he had never heard of
files being kept so "sloppily."
The session opened with every
indication that the protracted
hearings were near an end.
Senator Mcclellan questioned
Senator Mccarthy about his
knowledge of who might be
pulling the strings" to protect
Communists in Government.
Clifford Mentioned Again.
Senator Mccarthy again
brought in the name of Clark
Clifford, legal counsel to former
President Truman, and said that
his only knowledge of what part
Mr.. Clifford may have played
was contained in the monitored
telephone conversation between
Senator Symington and Secre-
tary Stevens.
do you judge that Clark Cliff
ford is responsible for this
mesS?" Senator Mcclellan
asked.
II don't charge anything. All
I do is call attention to the
cause" Senator Mccarthy re-
piled. "He was brought in some
how and was advising Mr.. Stew
ems"
Senator Jackson brought up
the 2A-page letter allegedly
written by FBI Director j. Ed
gar Hoover to the Army about
Communists at Fort Monmouth.
Mr.. Hoover has said that he
never wrote such a letter, but
that it contained information
which he sent in the 15-page
memorandum to the Army in
1851.

torted that he was amused"
He said that one day the
Democrats on the committee
charged that he should be jailed
for possessing such information
and the next day expressed con-
Germ over the fact he had OBJ
tanned it.
Senator Mccarthy said he did
not advise Mr.. Stevens of the
letter because sit would have
been worse than silly to call him
up and say, did you know you
had this in your flles?'"
Mr.. WEIGH told reporters he
"sort of thinks" he can COM
plete his croSS-examination of
Senator Mccarthy today. Acting
Chairman Mundt, of South Da-

for what Mr.. WEIGH says" but
in any event will be happy if the

BY prior agreement among the
principals in the case, the pub
lie hearings will be formally

mony.
Senator MMndt told reporters
the subcommittee will publish a

cesses." His guess. he said, is
that Congress will quit on or
around August Is.
Offering a foretaste of what

There were accusations by

''it's important to the Nations

,"Waste of Time" Senator Says.
Mr.. WEIGH wanted to know
why Senator Mccarthy did not
call Army Secretary Stevens at
tention to the allegations of
Communist infiltration of the
Army included in the 2A-page
FBI document. He pointed out
that the Senator received the
document in May 1858. and that
It mentioned possible subversive
activity at the Army's secret
Fort Monmouth IN. j. radar
laboratories. and that the report
was dated 1851.
Mr.. WEIGH accused Senator
Mccarthy of wasting valuable
time" in not calling Mr.. Stevens
attention to the report if allega-
tions in the document were true.
1t was then that Senator Nc
sCarthy said he had found it q
