Ncither of these four Republicans had anything to do with the Am- erasia probe and it was outside their province to meddle with a Senate committee of which they are not members. Text of Secret Testimiony Since Senator McCarthy §8 anx- ious to have Larsen’s secret testi- mony published, here is the ver- batim text of what Larsen told the investigating committee: Asked by Senator Green of Rhod¢ Island what Senator Wherry hac told him, Larsen replied: “He told me somewhat laughingly that he was the expert on homo- sexuality in the State Department, and we laughed and I said, “Well in that case I am very sorry, Senator. I cannot help you because I am not a homosexual.’ “I also told him, ‘T do not like McCarthy's methods or rather the methods of his assistant” Then Mr. Wherry said, to the best of my memory, ‘Oh Mac has gone out on a limb and kind of made a fool of himself, did we Have to back him up now.'” At this point, Senator McMahon of Connecticut mischievously in- quir “When Senator Wherry said he was an expert on homo- sexuality in the State Department, did he state his qualifications?” “No, he did not,” replied Larsen. Suspects Dictaphone When Larsen was called to Sen. McCarthy's office, he said he had the feeling his conversation with McCarthy was being recorded. He explained that an assistant watched the clock and ushered him into McCarthy's presence on the button of five o'clock, as if waiting for tie exact moment. “‘it down and tell me what you know about the Amerasia espion- age case,’ Larsen quotéed McCarthy as saying. I thought to myself, ‘I have a feeling someone is being recorded around here’ I had a hunch . . " However, McCarthy didn't get very far with Larsen because the phone kept in‘errupting. “McCarthy didn’t get a chance to say anything,” Larsen continuéd. “The phone rang, and he said to some woman on the phone, ‘T can't be there at that time. I am tied up. Tell them I have to go to China or I'm having a baby.'” Finally McCarthy announced he was too busy and turned Larsen Dr. Courtney asks, then Let us find out what the frée enterprise sys- Looks likeé the President is having some trouble about Communists in Washington. Gosh, is this Missouri going to get stuck on a sandbar, too?— (Cincinnati Enquirer.) TAmconiiénres "ty &wines' BDWC MEMBERS “MEET office “had a great many dicta- phones and other contraptions—at least ten of them in that office. It was bristling with machinery, and I undérstood that whatever I said would go down into records and on discs.” Larsen didn't like Surine's high- pressure tactics, however, and angrily walked out oz the inter- view. Ferzuson is Gentle Describing his third Republican interview, Larsen said that Sen- ator Ferguson’s office was mniore considerate, even offered to send a car.to pick him up. When Senator Green asked why he had gone to see Senator Fer- guson, Larsén replied: “Just In the same manner I wanted to see Mr. Jaffe, I was quite willing to see Mr. Ferguson.” This frank testimony about Re- publican pressure tactics irritated GOP Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, who sat in at the closed- door hearing. “I can now see you are not ser- ious in your answer,” Lodge snapped, after Larsen had ¢x- plained. “Certainly I am serious,” insisted Larsen. “I was just as willing to talk to Mr. Ferguson as I wis to Mr. Jaffe.” Lodge s Rough T thifik that statement pretty well disqualifies the witness,” pTo- tested Lodge. “What other advantage would it have beefi to myself to -See Fér- guson?” argued: Larsen. “You refuse to answer the qués- tion and that is the end of that” shouted the Senator from Massa- chusetts. | After Lodge had cooled dowh, Green continued his questioning. “Did you understand that these (Republican) senators had—I won't say conspired—had tdlked together about you?” Green asked. “Well, T felt that they were all very eager to use me as much as possible,” Larsén replied. “I mean do you think they knew about each other having seen you?” Pressed the Senator from Rhode Island. “Oh yes, definitely, because tiey asked me, ‘you saw McCarthy on such and such a date’ Oh_ yes, they all knew where I had been.” “Let me just say,” Lodge blurted again, “the job of this committee is to . . . find out who was guilty and find out why they weren't punished and that transcends any political consideration.” Lodge didn't comment, however, on whether Wherry and Ferguson had been motivated by politics.
