Charge of Impeding
Probe Called Lie

The charge that I tried to
impede the subcommittee's in
vestigationS and to diScredit
the subcommittee - 1 brand
this charge as malicious lie,
First: No responsible person
in the Department of Defense
or in any of the military de-
partmentS has, to my knoWl-
edge, tried in any way to i'm
pede the subcommittee's inves-
legations or to discredit this
subcommittee by the issuance
of any reports or otherwise. On
the contrary, every effort was
made fully to cooperate with
the subcommittee in it's i'm
portant work.
Second: Not until February
"a, 1854, did I have any init
nation that the Department
of the Army had been having
difficulty with Senator Nc
Carthy, Roy Cohn or anyone
else with respect to G. David
Schine. BY that time the con-
troversy between the Depart
ment of the Army and Sena-
tor Mccarthy, Roy Cohn and
others had fully matured
without any participation by
me.
Third: The only part I
played with respect to such
controversy occurred subse-
quent to March /. At that
time I was still general counsel
of the Department of Defense
and in such capacity I was
asked to supervise the prep
aration of a chronological
statement of events with re-
spect to the pressures eXerted
on the Army by Senator Nc
Carthy and Roy Cohn for spe-
cial favors for G. David
Schine. When Senator Potter

relevant and improper issue
raised by Senator Mccarthy
solely to divert attention from
himself. Nevertheless, it is ap-
propriate to make reference to
my letter dated February II,
1916, to the commissioner,
Bureau Of Internal Revenue,
in which I asked for a tax
ruling in respect of the pro-
posed dissolution of one of the
partnerships and presented a
full description of the busi-
ness which had been carried
on since March, 1888, to that
date. My interest in the busi-
ness was always we'll known
and there was not the slightest
improperly about such i'm
terest or anything illegal or
unethical about it.
Moreover. as a result of an
unfounded anonymous letter,
the business carried on, par
ticularly in the years 1943-
1945. was investigated in 1948
by the United States Senate
Special Committee Investigate
ing the national defense pro-
gram and the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. Such special
committee never even called
upon me for any explanation
and I did not even know until
within the last month that
there had been any attention
given to the matter by such
committee. In 1949, after a
thorough investigation, the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue
and I agreed on my Federal
income tax returns for the
calendar years 1943, 1914 and
1945 with only minor changes.
There was merely a normal
adjustment of some disputed
deductions. as in the case of
any taxpayer.
Nevertheless, when I first
received definite information
that Senator Mccarthy and
certain members of his staff
had been circulating rumors
and stating that they were out
to get me, I wrote on March
20. 1854. to the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States de-
manding that the Department

Tax Refunds Be Scanned

While these charges in re-
spect of my business activities
some ten years ago should not
be permitted to divert the at
tention of the subcommittee
from the pertinent issues in

there should be a forum in
which irresponsible charges
such as these may be fully ex-
plored in the interest of COM
mon fairness and decency. I
stand ready at an appropriate
time to submit to a full and
complete inquiry by this SUBJ
committee or any forum de-
Signated by it, with respect to
my financial activities of any
character at any time, mclud-
ing but not limited to the mat
ters referred to by Senator

fair play, obviously Senator

of such forum. but should ap-

Defense Aide Calls
One Charge a Lie;
Senator Comments

The tert of reply by H.
Strupe Hensel, Assistant Sec
retGry of Defense, to charges
made by Senator Mccarthy
Republican, OF Wisconsin, as
filed tDith the Senate InDeSti-
cations Subcommittee:
H. Struve HenSel hereby files
his reply to the Statement
submitted at the request of
mporary subcommittee"
signed by Senator Mccarthy
and filed with Senator Karl
E. Mundt on or about April
20, 1854.
Only four paragraphs of
Senator McCarthy's 46-para-
graph statement refer to me.
Such four paragraphs. to wit:
Paragraphs 60. both inclusive,
make three charges against
me:
(A). That I tried to impede
the subcommittee's investiga-
tions and to discredit the sub
committee Paragraphs Z, 8
and 81.
(B). That I was motivated
in so doing by a desire to block
an investigation of me "by the
subcommittee for misconduct
and possible law violation"
Paragraphs Z and g., and
(C). That during World
War II. particularly during
the years 1943, 1914 and 1945.
my private interests conflicted
with my duties and RESPONSE
bilities in the Department of
the Navy.
2.
All of these charges are
false, untrue and malicious
and must have been known to
be false and untrue by Sen
ator Mccarthy when he made
them.
3.
The first two charges are
the only ones which can pos
sibly be relevant to these pro-
ceedings. The third charge is
completely outside the scope of
these proceedings and was OBJ
viously designed by Senator
Mccarthy in an attempt to
divert the subcommittee and
the public from the serious
charges made against him. I
will. nevertheless. dispose of
each of the charges in order.

Calls Private interests
Charge Lie and Irrelevant


The charge that during
World War II. particularly
during the years 1943, 1914
and 1945. my private interests
conf1icted with my duties and
responsibilities in the Depart
ment of the Navy-I brand
this charge as malicious lie
and as irrelevant to these pro-
ceedings.
Paragraph 8 of Senator Nc
Carthy's statement in which
he makes such charge is de-
signedly vague and based on
innuendos and implications.
He does not fatty allege that
I did anything wrong. He mere
ly does his best to imply it
all without being specific.
This Paragraph 8 refers in
veiled terms to a canned
corned beef hash sales agency
operated in various forms by
Mr.. Arthur L. Peirson since
March. 1888. During such 16-
year period. Mr.. Peirson sold
canned meat products, manu-
factured by others. largely to
hotels, institutions, steamship
companies. food product dis
tributorS, railroads and the
like. In other words, he was
a wholesale distributor of a
limited line of canned foods.
Most of such products were
sold under brand names owned
by Mr.. Peirson such as "Cal-
leo" and ARTS Brand" Dur
ing the war period, Mr.. Peir-
sons distribution was limited
by wartime restrictions to pri-
vate steamship operators and
distributors of food products
to steamships and his prices
were fixed under Office of Price
Administration ceilings.
Throughout the entire 49,
year period. Mr.. Peirson, and
no one else, was the only
dominant force" in all of the
Peirson businesses which were
carried on by him successfully
through a corporation, then
two successive limited partner
ships, and finally another cor
poration. In all of such con-
Germs Mr.. Peirson had the ma
1or interest, ran the business,
and devoted his full time to
it. My interest was limited to
a perfectly legitimate and un-
conventional minority flnan-
cial interest. I took no active
part in the conduct of the
business but merely acted in
general as a member of a
board of directors would act,
with particular emphasis on
banking connections.
The Peirson business has
been carried on for so many
years that it would be impos-
slble to recount in this reply
the details of it's operations
over such 16-year period. More
over. it would be undesirable to
burden this proceeding with
such details in reply to an ir-

Of failure to approve his false
charges.
Since Senator Mccarthy as
serts that the private and
financial affairs of those in
volved in the current proceed
ings before this subcommittee
should be publicly scrutinized,
it is equally appropriate that
the financial affairs, including
income tax returns. Of SEN
ator Mccarthy, who is also a
party. should be subjected to
the same public scrutiny.
Therefore, when the subcom-
mittee designates the time and
the forum to hear the facts
about my financial affairs and
the accusations of Senator
Mccarthy with respect there
to. it should at the same time
require Senator Mccarthy to
subject to the same scrutiny
his financial affairs, which
have been under investigation
by a designated subcommittee
of the United States Senate.
In such inquiry. Senator Nc

Denies Effort to Block
Investigation of Himself

The charge that was mo-
tivated in so doing by a desire
to block an investigation of
me "by the subcommittee for
misconduct and possible law
violation" I brand this
charge as a malicious lie.
First: Not until March %,
1854, did I have any intima-
ton that Senator Mccarthy
was investigating me or any
of my past or present activi-
ties. This was some three
weeks after I had started to
supervise the preparation Of
the chronological statement
submitted in answer to. Sen
ator Potter's letter and a
month after I had first
learned of the pending con-
troversy.
Second: AS far as I know.
there has never been, and is
not now. any investigation of
me by the subcommittee as
such.
Third: AS best I can de-
termine no investigation of me
or any of my activities was
started by Senator Mccarthy
until on or after March 10 or
IL. 1854. In his press confer
ence on March IL, 1854, con-
corning this controversy, Sem
ator Mccarthy made no mem
ton of me and no charges
against me.
Fourth: Not until March %.
1854, as I am informed, did
Senator Mccarthy request Of
the Department of the Treas
ury my income tax returns.
Everyone knows that an in
vestigation of a mans finan-
cial activities always starts
with his income tax returns.
Fifth: On February II. 1854,
my nomination as Assistant
Secretary of Defense was sent
to the Senate by the President
for confirmation. The nomi-
nation was confirmed by vote
j on the floor of the Senate on
February 10. Senator McCar-
thy made no objection what
soever to my confirmation. II
any investigation of me had
then been pending, it was Sem
ator McCarthy's duty to have
brought it to the attention OF
his fellow Senators.
Sixth: When the subcom-
mittee reached q determine
ton that these proceedings
would be instituted. ! under
stand that it agreed that no
new Investigations would be
undertaken until the proceed
ings had been heard and de-
termined. Nevertheless. Sem
ator Mccarthy. having learned
that I had forwarded the
chronological statement OF
events to Senator Potter. with
out the knowledge of the other
subcommittee members and in
violation of such agreement,
directed certain of the sub
committees staff to commence
a purported investigation OF
me and my private finances
during the period of World
War II, some 10 years or more
ago. I am informed that, in
complete defiance Of the rules
of procedure of the subcom-
mittee, this purported inves-
tigation is continuing. 1t Is
respectfully requested that.
unless and until the subcom-
mittee approves such activi-
ties, Senator Mccarthy should
be required to deliver to the
special counsel tor the sub
committee all documents. rec
