Struve Hensél, assistant secretary of defense, demanded the group unanimously “dismiss the charges against me ... with a severe re- buke to Sen. McCarthy.” Hensel started out as one of the principals accused by McCarthy and his aides of trying to use Pvt. G. David Schine as a ‘‘hostage” to sidetrack a subcommittee probe of alleged Reds in the Army. The charges named Secretary of the Army Stevens and Army Counselor John G.

Midway in the hearings the sen- ators on a straight party-line vote, 4-3, dismissed Hensel and Carr as principals without express- ing formal findings as to the charges against them. Mundt, who is heading the group in McCarthy’s stead for purposes of the inquiry, said he wants Jen- kins on hand at today’s session because the special counsel may be asked to work up those parts all agreement. Mundt announced further that he is calling on the special staff for a quick report on costs of the long inquiry. The subcommittee al- ready has voted to ask the Senate to reimburse its $214,000 1954 operating fund for whatever it cost to explore the McCarthy-Army case. to his political plans.

If he switches plans, he said, he would be happy to have McCarthy campaign in his behalf. He strong- ly denied, however, that during the hearings he had been any softer in his cross-examination of Me: Carthy than of Stevens. Referring to the sworn denials by both sides in the dispute to each others’ charges, the special counsel remarked also that “cer- tainly, somebody is guilty of mis- statement of fact or perjury.” Hensel yesterday submitted a sworn affidavit for the subcommit- tee record saying McCarthy admit- ted he had no factual basis for the charges against him. Furthermore, Hensel said, we Carthy once offered in a conversa- tion with him to withdraw the charges if this could be done with- out making the senator appear to the public as a “damn fool.” McCarthy left last weekend for a week’s vacation at an unan- ounced spot and could not be reached for comment. He has not against Hensel.
