Mr.. Kennedy, both arms laden
down with books, snapped back,
Don't warn me! Don't try it
again, Cohn"
Jackson Comments.
A few minutes lat in his
Office Senator Jackson issued a
one-sentence comment: "This is
one Senator that's not going to
be intimidated by anybody"
Senator Mccarthy apparently
has no plan to bring up any
material relating to Senator
Jackson's past actions. Saying
that he thought too many ex-
traneous matters already had
been injected into the hear
ings, the Wisconsin Republican
told newSmen in Milwaukee:
1T do not intend to go into
any Senator's background at
these hearings. I think we
ought to finish the pertinent
testimony and get back to reg
ular committee business as soon
as possible"
One of the main Army charges
in the current investigation is
that Mr.. Cohn threatened to
wreck" the Army and "get" the
Job of Army Secretary Stevens
because the Army wasn't being
good enough to Pvt. Schine, Mr..
COINS close friend and a for
mer unpaid staff conSultant to
the subcommittee.
Mr.. Cohn and Senator Nc
Carthy have discounted all re-
ports that Mr.. Cohn has quick
temper and have denied at
length that he would ever
threaten to "get" anybody.
Senator Mccarthy has also
testified that the only time Mr.,
Cohn ever seemed "unreason-
able" was concerning Pvt.
Schine. It was Senator Jackson'S
ridiculing of Pvt. Schine and his
memorandum that caused Mr..
COINS temper to flare yesterday
afternoon.
The Schine document was
brought up by Senator McCar-
thy, who said it was an example
of Pvt. Schine's understanding
of psychological warfare. The
Senator said Pvt. Schine had
submitted ii to the State Depart
ment.
Hits Schine Plan.
Senator Jackson opened his
questioning on the document, by
noting that at the top of the
Schine plan the first sentence
read, This is plan of long
range strategy for immediate
execution.
"You are apparently reading
from something different than I
am" Senator Mccarthy told him.
Mine says, Fight Fire With
Fire."
In a series of ironic questions,
Senator jackson jabbed at Pvt.
Schine's references to Higher
clergy, pastoral letters" Sep
aration of Church and State"
els he for it or is he against
it?" Senator Jackson asked;
free entry to a free MARKET"
special appeal to leaders Of
community thought - Elks;"
universal appeal-pictures, car
toons, humor. pin-ups."
Senator Mccarthy protested
that Pvt. Schine'S memorandum
seemed to him to be "a pretty
detailed suggestion as to how you
can put across the anti-Commu-
mist ideas" But Senator Jack
son demanded:
Really, Senator. when you
look at this document, in all Seri-
BUSINESS do you think that this
qualified a man to investigate
multi-million dollar information
agency? In all seriousness, Sem
ator."
Radio Station Issue.
Mr.. Cohn and Senator Nc
Carthy testified that Pvt. Schine
gave invaluable assistance to
the subcommittee investigation
of two United States Information
Service radio stations. Senator
Jackson. however, said that "the
truth of the matter is that as
a result of having this man go
into it, it did not give us the
information that Radio Corpora
ton of America and the Mass
achusettS Institute of Technol-
ogy had Endorsed this project.
I'VE did not have any of that
information given us as a COM
mittee. ] think that is a COM
plete mistake"
Senator Mccarthy told him he
was completely incorrect" and
Mr.. Cohn said he hoped to de-
velop on Monday true facts
about some of the things which
Mr.. jackson said here this after
noon.
1t was almost Immediately
after this that Mr.. Cohn made
his threat to Mr.. Kennedy to
get" Senator Jackson.
Earlier in the day, Senator
Mccarthy testified on q number
Of points involved in the Army's
charges that he. Mr.. Cohn and
subcommitte staff director Fran
els Carr had sought preferential
treatment for Pvt. .Schine.
The Senator denied that Mr..
Cohn had put Army Counselor
