MCCARTHY is BACK IN
WITNESS ROLE TODAY

nee building and McCarthy's office
where Carr had testified all the
memoranda were dictated to Mrs.
Driscoll-was on the fourth floor.
Yet, WEIGH said, Carr had said
In one of the memos that "again
today John Adams came down
mere after the hearing" Carr said
Adams came to his first floor Of
nee after a hearing on the third
1ioor. He said he dictated the
memo later in McCarthy's office
but perhaps it wasn't a "happy
phrase" that he used.
Memos Not Routine
Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) told
newsmen 1.-THE evidence clearly in
olcates that these memoranda
were not made up under the nor
mai processes in most offices with
which l am familiar"
Cohn wound up his testimony
with tribute to Mccarthy. Some
spectators thought they deteced
talnt notes of a swan song, but
Cohn told reporters he has no plan
10 resign his job. Mccarthy said
there is mo chance" the subcom-
mlttee will fire the chief counsel.
Mccarthy said he recognizes the
subcommittee has majority-vote
control over hiring and firing staff
members, "but Roy has shown he
is the type we want as chief coun-
sel-the charges have been proven
false"
Winding up his testimony, Cohn
called Mccarthy "a great Ameri-
can" and said he had never
known a man who has less unkind-
ness, less lack of charity"
Cohn declared he thinks McCar-
thy and Carr were "badly treated
IN having to sit here when their
only crime has been that of doing
their level best to protect this ma
ton against menace of Commu-
mist infiltration.
Sen. Mcclellan DARK asked
Cohn whether he felt he had ga
capacity to control this commit
tee"-an appraisal previously Civ
en- by Adams.
"Sir," Cohn replied, 81 haven't
commented on it because | think
the statement itself is too ridicu-
lous to deserve any comment"
Sehine's Work
Mcclellan questioned Cohn about
the exhibits he had produced to in
dictate Schine's work after the
latter was indicted in the Army,
asking at one point: where is the
rest of it?"
Cohn said these exhibits repre-.
scented only very small part" of
Schine'S product. He said Schine's
notes weren't kept, and that the
subcommittee did not keep drafts
of reports that Schine wrote.
Mcclellan told newsmen after.
ward 1.-THE testimony didn't sus-
tain the necessity for the leaves of
absence to the extent to which
they were granted to Schine." Tes-
timony has been that Schine got
frequent weekend and evening
passes while doing basic training
at Fl. Dix, N. ].
Carr testified Cohn broke off a
vacation in Florida in mid-January
to return to Washington to work
on a subcommittee report. Army
witnesses have contended Cohn
rushed back to Washington after
Adams told him Schine might be
sent overseas.
Carr agreed with James st.
Clair, assistant Army counsel, that
subpoenaS for Army loyalty board
members were issued by the SUBJ
committee on Jan. 10, the day aft
er COINS return. Both sides agree
the issuance of these subpoenaS did
much to bring the McCarthy-Army
dispute to head.
WEIGH asked Carr about a Dec. 9
memo in which Carr told McCar-
thy he was convinced that they
(Army officials) will keep right on
trying to blackmail us as long as
Schine is in the Army"
n Years OF BIaekmaiI"
WEIGH said that since Schine's
tour OF duty as draftee would be
two years, Carr must have been
convinced that you were in for
two years of blackmail," and he
added:
"What were they threatening to
do to him besides letting him wear
the uniform of the United States
Army"
well, don't know that they
were threatening to take him out
and shoot him or something like
that" Carr said.
II don't think so,'' WEIGH said:
