The Wisconsin Republican said
he had been urging the staff
members not to resign. He added
that if they did resign it would
be "the greatest victory the Com

Senator Mccarthy went ahead
with the hearing, although the
Senate met at 10 am, while the
inquiry was still under way, and
no authority had been received
for the hearing. For this rea-
son only friendly witnesses were
called to testify, since any pos
sible contempt citations might
be challenged on the ground

thorized to hold the hearing.
One of the ironies in connec-
ton with the hearing was that
it developed that while the in
vestigation was dealing with al
legged Communists in defense
plants the three persons named
by James w. Glattis of Boston,
the former undercover FBI
agent as Communists or having
Communist connections were
employed in plant having no
defense contracts at the present
time.
The plant was the Allis-
Chalmers branch in the Boston
area. However. Senator McCar-

Mr.. Wojchowski was in the
hearing room. in answer to a
Mccarthy subpoena, when his
name was brought into the testi-

A short, stocky man with
closely cropped hair, Mr.. Woj-
chowSki was asked by Senator
Mccarthy if he wished to say
"yes or no" on whether~he was
a Communist. The Wisconsin
Republican offered him time to
get a lawyer and think about
what he would like to say.
Without being sworn as a wit
ness, Mr.. Wojchowski said I'D
like to say something first"
mo, no." Senator Mccarthy
interrupted. eve do not allow

Mr.. Wojchowski said he was
not prepared to testify at this
time. He demanded to know
what the charges were against
him and who his accusers are.

yourself when you were on the
stand"
He added that Senator Nc

When Mr.. Wojchowski said
he had the right to know who
the stool pigeons" and inform

shouted for a Capitol policeman
to remove the man from the
hearing room.
Mr.. WojchowSki was escorted
from the room. shouting back as
he was led through the door that
Senator Mccarthy cant cause
me to lose my job"
For 35 minutes of the hearing,
Senator Mccarthy was conduct

the other three Republican and
three Democratic members failed
to show up. Then Senator
Mundt, Republican, of South
Dakota, who had been attend
ing an appropriations subcom-
mittee meeting, appeared and
took part in the proceedings.
One of the practices being OBJ
jected to by some members of
the subcommittee is any one
man hearing.
Mr.. Glattis testified that he
joined the Communist Party as
an undercover agent in 1948 and
remained in the party until last
May. He and another witness,
William H. Teto, of Ashby,
Mass, who also joined the party
