course, these points Of order" are for
the most part artificial, and not genuine
points of order, but as all of Senator
McCarthy's friends know, it is not the
means Cor methods) that count, it is
the end.
But here is the disturbing thing. Is
not this the Communist philosophy
that the end justifies the means? Is not
the Senator applying this principle in
the same way that the Communist
lawyers did when the top Communist
leaders were on trial before Judge
Medina? AS recall. those lawyers were
declared in contempt of court because
of their tactics Of obstruction, and their
systematic attempt to make circus out
Of serious trial. Senator Mccarthy
proves himself once again one of the
ablest practitioners of Communist
tactics. He too is Systematically trying
to make circus out of those hearings,
and in this way to obstruct Justice. Is
he not in contempt of "court," indeed.
in contempt of the people of the United
States? Stanley Cream.
Thousands, perhaps millions. of the
people who have been listening to the
Mccarthy Army hearings have at least
learned one thing, if nothing else,
namely: The reason Congress spends
so much of the taxpayers money and
does so little.
In the Mccarthy Army hearings,
each of the seven members of the
Senate subcommittee and three differ
ent lawyers 10 in alb frequently
ask witnesses the same identical 'ques-
tions. If the operation of this commit
tee is typical of all other committees Of
both houses of Congress, then some
body should have interest enough
in the welfare of the country to amend
the laws governing the operation of
such committees so as to give the
chairman authority to decide when
questions of fact in issue are satisfac-
torily established.
AS an impartial observer Of said
hearings, it is my opinion that only
two of the many participants know
where they are headed, namely Sena-
tor Mccarthy and Attorney Jenkins.

After viewing the Army McC Carthy
hearings, have become bleeding
heart" "a subversive term in the Nc
Carthyites dictionary for Secretary
Stevens. It is apparent that Mr.. Stevens
is man of gentleness, decency and
integrity, who was told by his Com
mander in Chief to cooperate with
Senator Mccarthy.
These qualities, to some people, ap-
pear to make the Secretary look weak
in comparison to the bully tactics of
the opposite camp. But the real weak
ness lies not in Robert Stevens, but
must be laid to President Eisenhower
when he directed his officials to "co-
operate" to the utm list with teammate
Mccarthy.
The famous surrender" luncheon
amounted to Munich. And the ugly,
inevitable climax, now being witnessed,
could have but one part for Robert
Stevens to play-that Of fall guy for
the administration.
Ambassador Charles Bohlen was al
most fatally mauled by the man-eater
from Wisconsin but was rescued in
time by the Democrats. Ambassador
Arthur Dean was also not only mauled.
but was completely abandoned to his
fate by the administration.
How many more decent, capable Of
ficials are going to be served up as a
propitiatory offering to this Unsuitable
monsters NAV?

Anv one who has seen the picture of
Secretary Stevens and Private Schine,
whether in a group or otherwise, must
conclude that Private Schine must have
been asked to occupy such command
ing position in the picture next to the
Secretary It is not conceivable that
he would have done so on his own in
such select company. Had the Secre-
tary not proposed it himself. it is
