Senator Mccarthy notified
Williams that he would come
here Thursday to testify as q
Government witness In Hughes
I perjury trial.
{ The Government says Hughes
was refused job as an investi-
gator for the Wisconsin Repub-
Iican's subcommittee. and then
went to Senator McCarthy's op-
ponentS and told them he had a
job on Senator McCarthy's sub
committee and could furnish in
side proof" of alleged Illegal
activities by the subcommittee.
The case grew out Of Hughes
testimony before a Federal grand
jury which was investigating
Harvey Matusow. q former Com
munist who later recanted testi-
mony he gave against Is top
Communists.
Rauh Tells of Documents
Joseph L. Rauh, jr.. chairman
Of Americans for Democratic
Action. said Hughes sold him his
story and furnished many docu-
ments about the Mccarthy Sub
committee. some Of them from
a William Decker" The Gov
ernment says all the documents
were forged and Decker was
fictitious.
Mr.. Rauh said he brought
Hughes and his anti Carthy
material to the attention of Mr..
Friendly, Mr.. Rauh's personal
friend, in the summer Of 1854.
Mr.. Friendly testified he and
other executives of the news
paper at first believed Hughes

tion was forged. Senator Nc
Carthy has said Hughes never
was employed by the subcom-

ments convinced him the Hughes
material was bona fide. The GER

that Hughes entire story fell
apart in November. 1854. when
the newspaper began checking

mentioned in them.
The newspaper had tentatively
agreed to run a series Of articles
