Mccarthy Challenges Critics
To Name Reds They've Found

who have other work to work
nights with me.
If you hear any Senator on
the committee saying. Let's have
a rule that hearings cannot be
held unless you have two Sem
ators. or three Senators, keep in
mind that he doesn't need a
rule. All he need do is appear
and sit on the committee.
Will Move to Milwaukee.
He was to address another
group here at noon today and
then leave for Milwaukee where
he will speak tomorrow night.
He has another speech scheduled
in Oklahoma City Saturday
night.
Just before Senator Mccarthy
started his broadcast address to
some 1000 members and guests
Of the Irish Fellowship Club here
last night, one man called out:
Give 'em hell, Joe; you're in
your own ball park now"
Senator Mccarthy evidently
felt he was as he fired back at
critics of his investigating meth
DDS and also carried on his con-
troversy with Army Secretary
Stevens.
Referring to Mr.. Stevens, the
Senator said. II didn't start the
fight, but I think maybe I'll have
to finish it."
Quotes Red Party Report.
Senator Mccarthy also quoted
from what he called the main
report" to the national confer
ence Of the American Communist
Party last September. saying it
laid down "the party line" and
admonished Communists to stir
up fights between him and the
administration and to be as
rough as possible on him, but
to take care at the same time
not to praise Gen. Eisenhower.
1t said. in effect. he said, that
I'VE have to take care of him
Eisenhower later"
Senator Mccarthy said he was
going to send a copy of the
report Ito my good friend Mr..
Eisenhower, so he will know that
the Communist Party has linked
us as one"
The latest dispute between
Senator Mccarthy and Mr..
Stevens centers around an Army
report last week charging the
Senator and the chief counsel
OF his investigating committee,
Roy M. Cohn, tried to win spe-
cial treatment for G. David
Schine, a former staff member
drafted as a private last fall.
Senator Mccarthy said he
had not tried to pick a fight
with Mr.. Stevens, whom he de-
scribed as too nice and too
naive to cope with Pentagon
politicians"
"All we were doing was ex-
posing fifth amendment Com
muniStS, assuming they would
be gotten rid Of" he said. And
all of a sudden, hell broke loose. !"
The Senator said the Pentagon
politicians, whom he did not
name, feared exposure" in the
subcommittee probe into Army
handling of Communists and
were giving Mr.. Stevens bad
advice" He said he had a high
regard for Mr.. Stevens per-
sonally.
But at news conference be-
fore his dinner address, Senator
Mccarthy said that. as OF now,
he was backing Mr.. Cohn ito
the hilt."
He was asked what he would
do If the Investigations sub
committee, after it's forthcom-
ing investigating, should decide
that Mr.. Cohn had used i'm
proper influences on the Army
in behalf Of Schine.
my action will be determined
by what decide myself" he re-
piled. He added. however, that
the subcommittee "of course can
control the hiring and firing Of
committee personnel"
In answer to another question,
Senator Mccarthy said he did
not regard himself as on the
defensive" in his battle with
Army officials. He said he heard
several times in the last four
years that he had been knocked
out" but that he was going right
on digging out Communists"
