Evening star., 1954-06-10

ing the Republican S0th Con-
gresS, had been assistant general
counsel of the Defense Depart
ment during the Truman ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Jenkins also questioned
the Senator with reference to
the case Of former Mai. Irving
PereSs. the New York dentist
who pleaded the fifth amend
ment in refusing to testify for
the Mccarthy committee with
reference to Communist af1ilia-
tions.
Mr.. Welch objected to this line
Of questioning on grounds it
opened up a brand-new issue.
But finally Senator Mccarthy
did state he told Mr.. Adams that
he had every reasonable belief
that he-Adams-had hand in
giving Maj. PereSS an honorable
discharge two days after he tes-
titled before the Mccarthy COM
mittee. He added that he told
the attorney he was going to
find out the names of everyone
who had had a part in that ac-
tion.
Senator Mccarthy said his
conversation with Mr.. Stevens
relative to the treatment of Pvt.
Schine, who was drafted last
November 8, occurred in the
apartment of Mr.. Schine's null
ti-millionaire parents in New
York.
Il told Bob Stevens it would
be a great mistake If anything
was done to give him preferen-
tial treatment" Senator Nc
Carthy declared. He added that
such treatment would be misin-
terpreted in the press.
Mr.. jenkins concluded his di.
rect examination of Senator
Mccarthy during the morning
session. His cross-examination
was to begin after a noon recess.
That was to be followed by Ques-
tioning at 10-minute intervals
by members of the suhcommit-
tee and Mr.. Welch.
Mccarthy Takes Stand.
Senator Mundt excused Mr..
Cohn as a witness yesterday,
with the understanding that
other Senators will have him
back on the stand for fur
ther questioning later. Senator
Mccarthy himself was sworn to
begin his testimony.
Armed with charts and q
pointer, he painted a grim pic
ture of undercover communism
as he said it exists in this coun-
try today. Only few questions
were put to him, and his initial
testimony had no direct bearing
on the formal charges in his
dispute with high Army off,
cials. He used a large map of
the United States with areas
blocked of in different colors
to indicate the Communists
leadership alignment.
Before the Fisher matter
erupted. Mr.. Welch. with the aid
of hotel and night club tabs, had
sought to show that Pvt. Schine
was actually le-dating with
Mr.. Cohn on nights when he was
supposedly on pass from basic
training camp at Fort Dix, N. j.,
to do committee work."
