M’'CARTHY IS BACK IN WITNESS ROLE TODAY By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (#—Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis) moves back into the witness role today for probably the final scenes of the stormy and wide-ranging inquiry into his dis- pute with high Army officials. McCarthy professed readiness for a quiet windup, but there was opposition* questioning — which could lead to new disputes — over the origin and timing of 11 typed memoranda in support of the Wis- consin senator’s “blackmail” charges against Secretary of the Army Stevens and Army Counselor John G. Adams. Joseph N. Welch, Boston lawyer who speaks to McCarthy only on the record, touched off a verbal battle over the memoranda yester- day as the Senate Investigations subcommittee heard the last of tes- timony from Roy M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr. Welch, special counsel for Stev- ens and Adams, made an effort to discredit the memos and suggested that Mrs. Mary Driscoll, McCar- thy’s secretary, had not typed one of them as she had testified. “Welch Ignores Demand McCarthy demanded that Welch take the oath and give any infor- mation he might have “that Mrs. Driscoll is not telling the truth.” clashed with Mc- nored the de- McCarthy voiced confidence that he has refuted the Stevens-Adams charges that he, Cohn and Carr ex- erted improper pressure to get preferential Army treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a former aide drafted last Nov. 3. He told newsmen he plans to “inject nothing new in this thing that would cause more delay.” Yesterday McCarthy told the subcommittee, on which he has vacated his seat for the current hearings, that the charges against Cohn, its chief counsel, and Carr, chief of staff, have been Proved false. Carr was dismissed as a principal in the case on May 26 by a 4-3 vote when subcommittee Re- publicans overrode Democratic op- position. Army witnesses repeatedly have denied the McCarthy-Cohn charges that they attempted to use Schine as a “hostage” in trying to side- track an investigation of alleged Communists in the Army. Acting Chairman Mundt (R-SD) said Welch had assured him he could finish his. cross-examination of McCarthy during the day. Whether the hearings would lap over info a 36th day tomorrow ap- peared to depend on the amount of senatorial questioning. Short Questioning Sen. Symington (D-Mo), subcom- mittee member who has tangled most often with McCarthy, said his questions would not take ‘‘too long.” Welch precipitated yesterday’s principal battle when he suggested that a Jan. 15 memo Carr said he} scribbled out and handed to Mrs. Driscoll to type was not typed by her at all. McCarthy broke in to say he was “getting awfully sick of these inu- endoes.” He said Mrs. Driscoll had testified that she typed all of the memos. “If you have any information that Mrs. Driscoll is not telling the truth then you should be will- ing to ... take the oath and give us the information,” McCarthy said. “If not, Mr. Welch, let me say you should either apologize public- ly to Mrs. Driscoll or take the oath and tell us what information you have.” Welch replied that the memo showed on its face that it was from “Francis P. Carr.” He told Carr that “she never called you Francis in her life, did she?” Carr -said that while his name was really “Francis P.‘‘ Mrs. Driscoll ‘‘usual- ly calls me Frank.” McCarthy interjected that there are “memoranda in my_ office from Francis Patrick Carr, from Francis P. Carr, from Mr. Carr” and if Welch wanted to “accuse a young lady because she says Fancis instead of Frank, of lying on the stand, then he should take that stand himself.” Convenient Timing Welch suggested that the memo- | randa had “all of a sudden ap- peared” at a convenient time. | ‘They were made public by McCar- | thy a day after the Army charges | against him and his aides. Welch established that (1) at least on one occasion Carr had | written McCarthy a memo on the| same day he was with the senator, (2) Carr never had acted on | other memo McCarthy had direct- ed to him, (3) every memo pro- duced carried references to Schine, and (4) one addressed to Cohn contained only information he pre- viously had given Cohn over the phone. Carr, who sprinkled his testi-| mony with such expressions as “I don’t think so,” “I don’t remem- ber” and “I am not sure,” said memos such as those addressed to McCarthy and Cohn were dictated | “for the record.” He said he had no “persona! interest” in Schine’s military career. | Welch noted that Carr's office is | on the first floor of the Senate af-| fice building and McCarthy’s office —where Carr had testified all the memoranda were dictated to Mrs. Driscoll—was on the fourth floor. 5 Yet, Welch said, Carr had said in one of the memos that “again today John Adams came down here after the hearing.” Carr said Adams came to his first floor of- fice after a hearing on the third floor. He said he dictated the memo later in McCarthy's office but perhaps it wasn’t a “happy Phrase” that he used. Memos Not Routine Sen. Jackson (D-Wash) told newsmen “‘the evidence clearly in- dicates that these memoranda were not made up under the nor- mal processes in most offices with which I am familiar.” Cohn wound up his testimony with a tribute to McCarthy. Some Spectators thought they deteced faint notes of a swan song, but Cohn told reporters he has no plan to resign his job. McCarthy said there is “‘no chance” the subcom- mittee will fire the chief counsel. McCarthy said he recognizes the subcommittee has majority-vote control over hiring and firing staff | members, “but Roy has shown he is‘the type we want as chief coun- sel—the charges have been proven false.” Winding up his testimony, Cohn called McCarthy “a great Ameri- can,” and said he had “never known a man who has less unkind- hess, less lack of charity.” Cohn declared he thinks McCar- thy and Carr were “badly treated in having to sit here when their only crime has been that of doing their level best to protect this na- tion against a menace of Commu- nist infiltration.” Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) asked Cohn whether he felt he had “a capacity to control this commit- tee”—an appraisal previously giv- en by Adams. “Sir,” Cohn replied, ‘I haven’t commented on it because I think the ‘statement itself is too ridicu- lous to deserve any comment.” Schine’s Work McClellan questioned Cohn about the exhibits he had produced to in- dicate Schine’s work after the latter was inducted in the Army, asking at one point: “Where is the rest of it?” Cohn said these exhibits repre- sented only a “‘very small part” of Schine’s product. He said Schine’s | notes weren’t kept, and that the subcommittee did not keep drafts of reports that Schine wrote. McClellan told newsmen after. ward “‘the testimony didn’t sus- tain the necessity for the leaves of absence to thé extent to which they were granted to Schine.” Tes- timony has been that Schine got frequent weekend and evening Passes while:doing basic training at Ft. Dix, N. J. Carr testified Cohn broke off a vacation in Florida in mid-January to return, to Washington to work on a subcommittee report. Army witnesses have contended Cohn Tushed back to Washington after Adams told him Schine might be sent overseas. Carr agreed with James St. Clair, assistant Army counsel, that subpoenas for Army loyalty board members were issued by the sub- committee on Jan. 19, the day aft- er Cohn’s return. Both sides agree the issuance of these subpoenas did much to bring the McCarthy-Army dispute to a head. ’ Welch asked Carr about a Dec. 9 memo in which Carr told McCar- thy he was “convinced that they | (Army officials) will keep right on trying to blackmail us as long as Schine is in the Army.” “2 Years Of Blackmail” Welch said that since Schine’s tour of duty as a draftee would be two years, Carr must have been “convinced that you were in for two years of blackmail,” and he added: “What were they threatening to do to him besides letting him wear the uniform of the United States Army?” “Well, I don’t know that they were threatening to take him out and shoot him or something like that,” Carr said. “I don’t think so,” Welch said: “The worst we have heard is KP duty on Sunday, isn’t it?” Carr said that was true but that Adams had linked-this with efforts to stop the subcommittee’s inquiry. Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Interesting Contrast Seen In Best Of New Movies HOLLYWOOD — Let’s take a look at some of the current and forthcoming movies — “To you, a grown man, to sug- gest that KP for Schine on Sunday would in some way stop the hear- jings must have sounded absurd,” Welch declared. “T thought it was a little foolish, yes sir,” Carr replied. McCarthy said Welch had show’ himself ‘‘a very brilliant lawyer” but he thought that regardless of “how silly Mr. Welch thinks the activities of Mr. Adams were, they have succeeded in calling off the | investigation of communism ... for a period of three and a half or {four months.” Mrs. Mathias To Be Herself In New Film HOLLYWOOD (#—It’s hard to imagine this happening in the mov- ies, but Mrs. Bob Mathias is going to play her husband’s wife in his film biography. Movie producers are inclined to do the least obvious thing, so it was a surprise to learn today that Bob Mathias and his wife will be | perhaps the first married pair to portray themselves on the screen, At least local observers couldn’t recall this happening before. Elroy Hirsch, Jackie Robinson and other figures have played themselves in films, but have required actresses to play their mates. Mathias, two-time Olympic dec- athlon winner, was amply blessed in this regard. His bride Melba is a lovely brunette who has acted in university plays and on TV. “I’m very excited about it,” she told me. “I’ve always wanted to be an actress, but I never thought I would end up in the movies—not this fast, anyway.” “I’m very happy too,” said hand- some Bob. “She has been reading the script at home with me, and ;the men at the studio suggested | she take a test for the role as my wife. Some other girls did too, but they thought her test was the best.” So now they are spending most of their home hours preparing for |“The Bob Mathias Story,” which | will start shooting Monday. Pro- duced by William Selwyn for Al- lied. Artists release, it’s a unique venture in more ways than the casting. The citizens of Tulare, Calif., Bob’s home town, are put- ting up a hig chunk of the backing. “We've got about 40 home town folks invested in the picture,” Bob remarked. “It was like pulling teeth; I had to make six trips up there to help sell the shares, They’ve put up $60,000 in all. Our budget is around $155,000.” |The locations will be shot in | Tulare—at the high school track where Bob trained for his-triumphs around the high school, parks and other landmarks and at the Mathi- as home. The script? It sticks Pretty close to fact, said Bob, with only a slight deviation for dram- atic value. : The movie makers have footage from the 1952 Olympics at Hel- sinki and are getting some from | the 1948 games at London.

Taylor in jeopardy of a cool hus- band and a herd of elephants. The husband has some sense of loyalty to his overbearing sire, and the dry spell and all heck breaks loose. Three of them were made in Europe with American stars, and they provide an interesting con- trast. “Three Coins in the Foun- tain” was filmed in Rome and Venice and is a decorative travel- ogue against which is played a palatable romantic story. Dorothy ;McGuire, Maggie McNamara, Clif- ton Webb and Jean Peters play Americans in Rome with varying degrees of romantic inclinations. All their problems are more or less resolved for the jnevitable clinch, leaving the audience with a warm feeling, if little else. “Flame and the Flesh” was filmed in Naples and the cast is European with one exception — Lana Turner. She plays.an. Italian girl of negligible morals and pre- sents a Lana you never have seen before. This one scratches her hip and disports herself in a tired suit (outdoors) or slip (indoors). With- out the usual glamorous trappings, she demonstrates an acting skill that few suspected until “The Bad and The Beautiful.” She enacts a of men and almost ruins both their “Indiscretion of an American Wife” is an unwieldy title for a entirely in the Roman railroad sta- “Elephant Walk” puts Elizabeth elephants resent the intrusion of a plantation mansion on the path to their water hole.

Miss Taylor is Properly perturbed throughout. “Dial M for Murder” wrings just about all that'is possible out of an overworked film topic — the wife- murdering husband. This tale is treated to the delicate Alfred Hitchcock touch for tenseness, thus Placing it head and shoulders above the usual thriller. Ray Mil- land, Grace Kelly and Robert Cummings keep the proceedings in an urbane tone and that adds to the buildup of suspense.

The Chaggas live on the south- ern slopes of 19,545-foot Mt. Kili- They’ve grown rich in the last few years because their coffee crops have brought high prices. The Chaggas number all told about 365,000. In 1932 they organ- ized a cooperative society called the “Kilimanjaro Native Coopera- tive Union, .Ltd.’ They were helped in doing so by Roman Cath- olic missionaries and district gov- ernment officers. The union has about 35,000 mem- ERS. Last year the Chagga’s 6,000 tons of high grade “Arabica” cof- fee brought them more than 10 million dollars. The coffee is mar- keted cooperatively. Three years ago the Kilimanjaro co-op group built a four-story com- munity center — with its own of- fices, a public library, small hotel, shops and rooftop restaurant. The center, built at a cost of $280,000 — paid from cooperative profits — was itself a unique ven- ture. It is used by all races. Last Marth the co-op approved Plans to build a new commercial school as an addition to the center. It will cost $140,000 and will also be paid for from coop profits, Missionary schools have, in the same fashion, been open to all re- Bardless of color of skin, but the Moshi School is said to be the first built and paid for by blacks. Teachers will be brought from England. The school will handle 100 students.

Robert Mitchum, one of the most sought- after male stars in the film capi- tal, shares these romantic mo- ments with her in a rugged Tech- nicolor outdoor drama set in the great northwest during the gold- Tush days of 1875, with Rory Cal- houn, the dark reminder of her ra- ther tarnished past, featured The Monroe, as a gold-town en- tertainer, not only has the oppor- tunity to prove that she really can ignite the screen in the romance division, but that she is extreme- ly versatile in the handling of com- pletely varied screen roles. Fresh from her triumphs in “Niagara,” “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “How To Marry A Millionaire,” she unveils in “River of No Re- turn” what she can do with a deep- ly emotional, dramatic assignment. Robert Mitchum has a role that is in the mood of some of his past great successes with audiences in his ten-year reign as a box-office champion. He is the rugged, silent homesteader who falls hard for the magnetic Marilyn — and proves a complete match for her.
