or sheep in the truck and ex-
posed to the weather.
II never heard that" Mr..
Stevens answered.
Senator Mccarthy bounded
back into the uproar at that
point. He said he was not the
counsel for Pvt. Schine but that
he did not want Ito see a SOL
der smeared" when the facts
were not in evidence.
Senator Mccarthy said he had
a duty to members of his sub
committee staff. He shouted
that if Pvt. Schine received spe-
cial consideration. "let's make
him a party to this circus, if
you will"
Then he added:
"NIr. Schine should be here if
We are going to make him a
party to the smear that is going
on"
Schine at Fort Myer.
Pvt. Schine has been called
here from Camp Gordon, Ga.
He is stationed temporarily at
Fort Myer, Va. for the duration
of the investigation.
Democratic Senators Jackson
of Washington and Mcclellan of
Arkansas stepped into the up
roar to turn on Senator Nc
Carthy his own charge that ques-
tioning had been based on mat
ters not in the hearing record.
They recalled that Senator Nc
Carthy had questioned Maj. Gen.
Miles Reber, former Army liaison
with Congress and the first wit
ness in the hearing, as to
whether his brother, Samuel
Reber. had resigned from Gov
ernment service while under in
vestigation as a security risk.
There is no evidence offered
in these hearings to support
those charges" Senator Jackson
pointed out.
Protest Continued.
Senator Mccarthy. continuing
his protest, remarked that the
charges against Pvt. Schine are
lawfully serious" THE charges
against Mr.. Reber were aWfully
serious" Senator Mcclellan in
terjected.
At another point Senator Nc
Carthy interrupted to say:
1t has been always a rule
OF this subcommittee that no
man is publicly accused before
the subcommittee unless he is
here and has a chance to step
up and answer"
Then why wasn't that pro-
cedure followed with Gen. Re-
ber's brother?" Senator Jackson
angrily demanded.
Senator Mccarthy made no re-
ply.
Senator Mundt, Republican,
of South Dakota, who has re-
placed Senator Mccarthy as
Senate Investigating subcom-
mittee chairman during the in
vestigation, sought to quiet
things by saying Pvt. Schine
would be called '"in due course" "
But that failed to satisfy
Senator Mccarthy. He protested
that he had not obtained a copy
Of the inspector generals report.
r. said the only places he had
seen reference to Pvt. Schine's
treatment at Fort Dix were in
the "left-Wing press"
IF those charges have been
Investigated" Senator Mccarthy
added. Il think Pvt. Schine
should have a copy of the re-
port"
Asks About Phone Calls.
Mr.. Jenkins asked Secretary
Stevens if he knew that Pvt.
Schine allegedly used the Fort
Dix telephone "an inordinate
number of times" to call persons
in New York City.
In particular, Mr.. jenkins
asked if the Secretary knew Pvt.
Schine had called "a girl-friend"
in New York sometimes as many
as four times a day"
NO, sir" Mr.. Stevens replied.
II didn't know that"
The Secretary said he had
learned afterward" that Pvt.
Schine had received long week
end passes for the Christmas and
New Years week ends.
Mr.. Jenkins asked if this was
accorded Pvt. Schine "for the
purpose of appeasing Senator
Mccarthy"
Absolutely and completely
not" Mr.. Stevens said, adding
