R, H. —Official U.S. Navy Photo, By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (® — The sizzling feud between Sen. McCarthy (R- Wis) and Sen. Symington (D-Mo) threatened to erupt agajn today to delay the McCarthy-Army hear- ings’ progress toward a final wind- up. Francis P. Carr was recalled to the stand in the 34th day of tele- vised hearings before the Senate Investigations subcommittee, with McCarthy and Symington making belligerent noises at each other. They have tangled repeatedly dur- ing the last few weeks. Carr is chief of staff of the sub- committee, which McCarthy nor- mally heads. The Wisconsin sena- tor has stepped off the group while it investigates his dispute with high Army officials. Acting Chairman Mundt (R-SD), seeking to conciliate the McCarthy- Symington row, said in an inter- 'Y | view Symington had asked a “hy- pothetical question” about possible subversives on the subcommittee’s staff at yesterday’s session and that it was a “misunderstanding” when McCarthy lit into the Mis- sourian. But McCarthy told newsmen it is up to Symington to ‘put up or shut up.” He accused Symington and Army §pecial Counsel Joseph N. .Welch, with. whom he had clashed before, of joining in at- tempting to fasten “guilt by implt- cation” on McCarthy staff mem- bers. Symington said he was “dumb- founded’ by McCarthy’s outburst at the close of yesterday’s session, but he stuck to his contention that the subcommittee’s files*had been “dangerously handled” under Mc- Carhy’s regime and were poten- tially open to looting. Symington said in a statement the point he was making was that! all staff members had access to the files and some of them had not been cleared for “top secret” in- formation. “If by chance there was one rot- ten apple in the barrel—which there has been in other agencies—it might in turn be disastrous to our security,” he said. All of this had little direct bear- ing on the charges of Secretary of the Army Stevens and Army Coun- selor John G. Adams that McCar- thy and Roy M. Cohn, subcommit- tee chief counsel, brought‘improper pressure in trying to get favored Army treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a former subcommittee consultant. . The McCarthy side countercharg- ed that Stevens and Adams tried to use Schine as a “hostage” to sidetrack a McCarthy investigation of alleged Communists in the Army. The subcommittee voted on party lines May 26 to dismiss Carr as a principal to the case. é Carr’s testimony, generally given in short and laconic replies, sup- ported the sworn accounts~already given by McCarthy and Cohn in flat disagreement with those of Stevens and Adams. Carr, a 37- year-old former FBI man,. said he regards all the McCarthy camp’s charges as true. He testified that Adams once told him there was “a high-administra- tion decision” to buck a move by McCarthy to call Army loyalty | He also quoted Adams as saying there were “probably 200” Com- munists or fellow travelers in the Army who could be called for questioning by the McCarthy sub- committee. McCarthy and Cohn have said Schine, while on weekend and eve- ning passes from Ft. Dix, N. J., worked diligently on subcommittee business. Carr said he did not re- call ever having seen a memoran- dum submitted by Schine. McCarthy said at one point he had “an unwritten rule, a rather strong one, that when any member of the committee (staff) interro- .gates anyone who doesn’t want his THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Rice, acting commanding offi- cer, Naval Air Station, presents an award check to Harold C. Thompson, for his beneficial suggestion. (See story for details.), Sizzling McCarthy-Symington Feud May Erupt Again Today the file, knowing that too many people have access to those files.” Carr, robust and _perspiring, worked his way steadily through three pitchers of ice water and hundreds of’ cross-examination questions before yesterday’s climax came with Symington directing in- quiries at him. After Carr had testified that one member of the subcommittee staff of investigators has “‘top secret” clearance and ohers have “secret” clearance, Symington commented: “It would be unfortunate if we had a subversive on our staff and he hadn’t had clearance and the he examined an agency and in that agency he got information which made it possible for him to’ betray the country.” “It would be unfortunate and most unusual,” Carr replied, add- ing that “there are no subversives on our staff.” When Symington asked if staff members had “clearance from the FBI,” McCarthy broke in to say Symington was making “the impli- cation . . . that he knews of some subversive on the staff.” “He does not,” McCarthy said. “If he knows of any subversive, then he should take the stand and| . tell about him. Otherwise, he owes a duty to apologize to the young men who have been working day and night to get rid of Communists . . « without the help, may I say, of men like Sen, Symington.” Dynamite Stick Explodes In Strike Brawl TOKYO (#—A dynamite stick ex- ploded in the midst of a fist-swing- ing brawl between strikers and temporary employes yesterday in- jusad 50 persons at the Omi Silk Strikers were storming barricad- ed gates of the company plant nea Osaka.
