Of now our cases win be presented
completely by Cohn and myself
Cohn and Mccarthy are the only
two witnesses I have suggested to
Jenkins.
Asked how he would react If
Jenkins later requests that Carr
be called as q witness, Mccarthy
said:
II would make no objection to
the calling Of Carr or any other
witness" 4.
He said Carr sis not afraid to
testify If he Is wanted, he'll
be available"
The impassive Carr left the
hearing room yesterday minutes
after his name was dropped from
the lists Of principals and wit
nesses.
Right after the Army wound up
the presentation Of its case Sen.
Dworshak (R.Idaho) presented the
motion TO knock out the charges
against Hensel and Carr.
WEIGH had Just declared he
would insist that Carr and Schine
must be witnesses later.
The 4-3 vote crossed Cars name
from the list Of three against
whom the Army had aimed its
formal accusations. It also dropped
McCarthy's charge that Hensel
had "masterminded' the Arny's
case against him, in the hope Of
diserediting an investigation Nc
Carthy said he had been planning
into Hensel's World War II finan-
cial dealings. Hensel had vigorous
~ denied any wrongdoing.
The Eyes" votes came from
Mundt, Dworshak, Sen. Potter (R-
Mich) and Sen. Dirksen (R-nl).
Voting mo" with Symington were
Sens Mcclellan Ozark and Jack
SON (D-Wash).
WEIGH sought in vain to persuade
Dworshak to separate his dismis-
sal move into two motions, one in
yolving Carr and the other Hen
sci. Dworshak declined to do so,
saying at one point there should
be some balance {"
Mcclellan moved next to call
Carr Immediately as witness but
lost on another ,4-3 party line vote.
Mundt told reporters it would
now take an affirmative vote of
the subcommittee to cali Carr as
4 witness. He said unless some
body makes sworn charge
against Carr, he. sees no reason
to have him testify.

probably would have to give test.
mony against Carr under oath.
Some points remained in dispute
as the subcommittee recessed over
night. One is whether the subcom-
mittee ever did put into its official
records memoranda signed by
Carr making charges against
Stevens and Adams. -
jackson and Mcclellan contend
ed that the memoranda are "the
very basis" Of the Mccarthy
camps charges, and that Carr
should be questioned under oath
about their accuracy. s !.
jackson said Stevens has sworn
that every one Of the charges is
false" Thus, Jackson said, the
subcommittee has released Carr
from testifying after he is sac
cused Of lying" against the Secre-
tary Of the Army.
WEIGH protested vigorously
against dropping charges against
Carr. "Let us not forget that Mr.
Carr made charges against Mr..
Stevens and Adams" WEIGH said.
WEIGH said the Mccarthy camp
based its charges largely on men,
oranda written to the Wisconsin
senator by Carr, whom WEIGH
termed the "strong silent man" in
the case.
WEIGH said it was Carr memos
which raised the charge of "black-
MALI against Stevens and Adams;
which charged the hostage theo-
~" and which made that incredi-
BILE ,charae" that Stevens sought to
