Brewster Issue Dead"
AS for Senator McCarthy's eff
forts to line up a new counsel
for the Government Operations
Committee, a Senator comment
ed: II think the Brewster issue
is dead" @
Two committee Republicans
repeatedly were opposed to con-
f1rming Mr.. Brewster for the
post. Committee Democrats
were said to be solidly against
the choice, but were withhold
ing comment in the belief the
appointment would be killed by
the Republicans.
Following meeting late
yesterday Of his inquiry sub
committee. Senator Mundt, Re-
publican. Of South Dakota, said
1--WE made a lot of progress" in
laying the outline Of q report on
the Army McC arthy dispute.
Senator Mundt said the re-
port would be Gin eight to 10"
sections. The main sections
would include the subcommit-
tees findings, its recommended
tions, and the dissents of in
dividual members.
He said it was already evident
that the seven Senators could
find a wide area Of agreement. I"
Senator Mundt added there
would even be unanimity on some
of the findings and recommends
tons. The ranking subcom-
mittee Democrat, Senator Nc
Clellan Of Arkansas, agreed with
the chairman.
A Library Of Congress specialist
is condensing the 950-page sum-
mary Of Army-McCarthy testi-
mony. That job, Senator Mundt
said, would be completed by
Tuesday when his group probably
will meettnext. Senator Dirksen,
Republican, Of Illinois, and Sen
ator Jackson. Democrat. of
Washington. were selected as q
report-drafting subcommittee.
One section Of the report will
deal with what Senator Mundt
described as collateral issues
which arose during the hearing
These may be important issues,
but ones regarded as irrelevant to
the McCarthy-Ar fracas.
For example, Senator Mundt
said, this section would deal with
the conflict Of prerogatives and
functions between the Legislative
and executive branches Of the
Government. It might also deal
with the propriety Of Senator
McCarthy's use Of a confidential
FBI document concerning al
legged subversive activities in
the Army, and the question of the
right Of Congress to subpoena
Executive Branch personnel.
A majority Of the Mundt SUBJ
committee, the three Democrats

of Michigan, were known to favor
