McCar- thy (R-Wis) claimed today the story told in long-secret monitored telephone calls “blows up” the Army’s case against him in his bitter battle with top Pentagon of- ficials. Before taking off for Ripon, Wis., to make a speech marking the 100th anniversary of the Repub- lican party, McCarthy-left no doubt that he regarded yesterday’s hec- tic developments as a prelude to final victory in the swirling con- troversy. He told newsmen that disclosures during the televised Senate probe into the dispute of hitherto-unpub- lished transcripts of Army-moni- tored phone conversations, be- tween Senate Investigations sub- committee senators and Secretary of the Army Stevens, “blows up their whole case.” “Leg Jam” Broken The calls spilled imto the hear- ing record one after another yes- terday, breaking a log jam over their release that had held them back since soon after the public inquiry began April 22. The calls quoted Stevens, in a March 8 talk with Sen, Symington (D-Mo) shortly before the Army filed its “pressure” charges against McCarthy and his aides, as saying allegations of preferen- tial treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine “‘were very much exag- gerated.” The Army’s formal charges accused the McCarthy camp of . seeking by improper means to win special privileges for Schine, a former consultant to the investigations. : subcommittee headed by McCarthy. The calls also disclosed that Sy- mington. joined forces with the Army side at one point in the dis- pute before it got to the hearings stage. Symingten’s Advice Symington was quoted as advis- ing Stevens to seek advice from Clark Clifford, a former top aide to President Truman, and as tell- ing Stevens. that Deputy Atty. Gen: William P. Rogers was “one other fellow that is on your side.” The Missouri ‘senator gave this explanation as the content of his transcribed discussions with Stev- ens came to light: He had willingly taken “sides” with the Army in an effort to help stop McCarthy’s reported abuse of Army witnesses; that he had not talked to any principals in the case outside the hearing room once the subcommittee took on its investi- gations; and: that he did not know if Stevens ever went to Clifford. Rogers, already named in Mc- Carthy contentions that adminis- tration officials outside the Army had a hand in the case, said in a speech at Willimantic, Conn, last night that “there are many more important things” to attract the attention of the American peo- ple than “these congressional hearings.” He refused comment as to which of the two battling groups he sympathized with. More Calls To Report With the hearings in recess until Monday, several more of the phone calls between Stevens and subcom- mittee members and the McCarthy camp principals remained to go into the public records. The calls were originally taken down in shorthand by Stevens’ secretarial staff. Still to come are the calls of Sen. McClellan (D-Ark), and of McCarthy and his aides—and all were promised when the proceed- ings start again before the TV cameras Monday. The six-weeks-old hearings came |to an explosive climax yesterday lin fast-breaking developments jover Army charges that McCarthy and his staff sought preferential treatment for Sehine after he en- tered the Army, and Mcfarthy counter-charges that the Army used Schine as a “hostage” ‘to halt investigation of communism in Army installations.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (®—An Austrian- born janitor, shaken foecause the ="~*se-held back « commission « his Annapotis-g:aduc‘tc2 son, says he’s to blame because he bought insurance 17 years ago from an organization now on the attorney general’s subversive list. In halting sentences, Andrew Yadlowsky explained last night he was sold on a policy for his son, Peter, because members of the In- ternational Workers Order told him it was cheap and he could get sick benefits from it. Yadlowsky, a naturalized citizen, said he never j belonged to the IWO. Son Didn’t ‘Know “My son didn’t know anything,” said Yadlowsky in a telephone in- terview from his Jersey City, N. J., home, “and he has to suffer because I insured him. ... He never paid anything ... He was 13 years old.” Peter Yadlowsky graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy yester- day along with 851 classmates. But the Navy has said that he and two other midshipmen—Harold I. Pol- lack, Hartford, Conn., and Paul Shimek Jr., Hazen, Ark.—cannot be commissioned until security checks on them are completed. Meanwhile, the three were to go home and await the outcome of the investigations. Yadlowsky said he was at An- napolis, Md., yesterday and had discussed the situation. Pollack’s parents were on hand for the grad- uation exereises, but were not reached for comment. In Hazen, Shimek’s parents were not availa- ble for comment. No Loyalty Question A spokesman at the Naval Acad- emy told the Hartford Courant: “The question of loyalty is not involved in Pollack’s case. Rather it is a question in the broad cate- gory of what is called ‘security.’ ” He did not elaborate. Pollack stood 118th in the class of 852, the 114th class to win dip- lomas from the Naval Academy. In Hartford, neighbors described him as “a very nice boy” and his {family as ‘good solid Americans, very patriotic with no foreign idegs.” Teachers who knew Pol- lack in high school had warm praise for him.

Misuse Of Water Guns Reported Park — authorities collected several water guns being used in the Bayview Park last night. The guns were taken from children in the park after wide- spread reports of people being “shot” with the guns, The water guns being filled with perfume, gutter water, vinegar and other liquids have been reported. Woman Tells How Affair Led To Slaying DETROIT (#—“I couldn’t think of anyone but Jules. He gave me a | sense of security that I never be- fore had felt.” Thus, Mrs. Edith Small, 30, at- tractive, brunette *mother’of thiee. young children, described yester- day her infatuation for Jules M, Lack, New York industrialist slain by her jealous husband. Dr. Kennth B. Small, a Detroit dentist, is in jail at Allegan, Mich., awaiting trial on a charge of mur- dering the wealthy, 45-year-old president of an air conditioning firm. Police said Dr. Small found his wife last Saturday in a plush summer home in southwestern Michigan. And there he pumped two bullets from a German Luger into Lack as he played cards with friends. Mrs. Small, accompanied by her attorney, nervously described her emotions at a news conference— the first time she had talked di- rectly with reporters since the Meeting Told shooting. She told of meeting Lack on a Florida vacation. “I don’t know whether it was love or not,” she said, but added that when Lack returned to New York, “I was When she returned from Florida, “Kenneth knew something was wrong,” Mrs. Small said. “I guess I greeted him rather coldly. “TI couldn’t go on living a lie so I told him.” On her husband’s urging Mrs. Smalk said she went to a psychia- trist. “The psychiatrist said that I had a father fixation and that Jules was like a father to me. Jules was a boxer and a football player and had a wonderful build,” she said, “but he didn’t look like my father.” Mrs. Small said she dropped the psychiatric treatment, deciding that-“‘the best way to straighten the matter out was a separation between Kenneth and me.” Mrs. Small said that although she had decided to drop the divorce (Continued On Page Eight) Thieves Invade © VFW Clubhouse Thieves who broke into the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars Clubhouse on Elizabeth Street early today Te-| ceived more than $100 for their ef- forts it was reported. According to Grady Wood, ma- nager of the club, the break-in oc- curred some time between two and six o’clock this morning. He id that the thieves entered by} smashing a rear window and then proceeded to smash the coin box on a pin-ball machine and force several cabinet drawers open. Mey also pilfered a collection box on the bar of an estimated $50-75 dollars. The Sheriff's Department is in- vestigating the robbery. Miller was later released on $500 bond set by Crim- inal Court Judge Thomas S. Caro after he was picked up on the violation warrant. The arrest was ordered by the county commission. They charge that Miller has flout- ed zoning laws. It marks the second time in re- cent months that Miller has run afoul of zoning laws — he was ar- rested earlier by city police after he constructed an addition to his Key Tackle Shop‘on Roosevelt Boulevard without obtaining a per- mit and in violation of zoning. He was fined $25 in city court at that time, but no action was taken in forcing him to tear down the addi- tion. Permit Denied The present situation arose when Miller announced his intention to build a trailer park in an area zoned for residence on Stock Is- land on the road leading to a drive- in theater. a5 About two months ago, Miller pe-'y titioned the county commission to change the zoning to allow cons- truction of the trailer park, They set a public hearing at ‘hich time, several Stock Island residents ap- Peared ‘to protest building of the trailer patk and the commission turned down his request. The protests were based on the premise that there are several ex- pensive homes being built in the area. The residents also complain- ed that because of the proximity of the trailer park to the drive-in theater and the dog track, heavy traffic would create a hazard, par- ticularly because of the expected large number of children who would presumably reside there. Miller also applied for a permit to build the trailer camp from Jess Slone, county building inspector. He was turned down on the basis that it was illegal. Construction Started But Miller went ahead and start- ed construction anyhow. At the Present, sewage and water facili- ties have been installed and the park has been graded. It was re- ported today that at least three three trailers have already been moved onto the property. County Commissioner Joe Allen said today that he, along with the other commissioners, have been beseiged with complaints about the alleged law violation. He said to- day that he feels it is his duty to see that zoning laws are enforced. “If they want to throw the law out, it is alright by me — but as Jong as it is on the books, it is our duty to enforce it,” said Allen, “We have got to protect Stock Island home-owners,” he added. “We can’t enforce the law on some people and let others do what they want.” Penalty for violation of county zoning laws can range up to a six month jail term, upon conviction. It was also pointed out today that it is a “continuing offense” — that every day Miller remains in viola- tion constitutes an additional law infraction. The County commissioners have indicated that they will stand firm in requiring the law to be in en- forced.
