Charges Made And McCarthy's Replies In Public Hearings By JOHN CHADWICK WASHINGTON (® The special —Genate committee set up to con- sider the proposed censure of Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) held nine days of public hearings on five sets of jin saying what he did about Hen- |drickson, who joined in the Elec- tions subcommittee report, be- jcause, he said, the New Jersey | senator had told him he would sign the report even though he did not agree with it insofar as : : it differed from the proven facts. % his election to the Senate, McCarthy called the subcommit- jrefusing him the right of cross- tee report “entirely dishonest.” examination, and acting under a!

Williams, follow: Charge 1 — That McCarthy showed contempt for a Senate elec- tions subcommittee that investigat- ed him in 1951 and 1952 denounc- ing it and refusing its invitations or requests to testify and to supply it with information about his ac- tivities. First headed by Sen. Gillette (D-lowa) and later by Sen. Hen- nings (D-Mc), the Elections sub- committee issued a report on Jan. 2, 1953, raising numerous qués- tions about McCarthy’s financial affairs and accusing him of refus- | ing to cooperate in any way. Its probe was undertaken after former Sen. Benton (D-Conn) in- troduced a resolution on Aug. 6, 1951, for an investigation of Me- Carthy with a view toward his ex- pulsion from the senate, Not Denied McCarthy, in answering this charge, did not deny that he had accused the Elections subcommit- tee of ‘complete dishonesty” and of “stealing” tens of thousands of dollars from the pockets of the taxpayers “to dig up campaign material” against him. But he and his lawyer contended the Elections subcommittee con- ducted “an illegal and improper investigation”, exceeding its au- Page 2.

Part of this charge was that Mc- Carthy was in possible violation of the Espionage Act in receiving and keeping the document and that he had allowed it to fall into the hands of a “gossip columnist’, Walter Winchell. At the McCarthy-Army hearings, McCarthy said to Secretary of the Army Stevens, “Mr. Secretary, I would like to give you a letter . . from the FBI.” The 2% page document, marked “personal and confidential via liai- | son”, was in the form of a letter, |dated Jan. 26, 195%, feom FBI |chief J.

Edgar Hoover.” Testimony at those hearings brought out that the language of the “letter” was identical in part with a 15-page memorandum which Hoover had sent to Army intelli- gence about possible subversives at Ft. Monmouth, N.J., Army Sig- nal Corps center. “Army” Document McCarthy told the censure com- mittee the “letter” face that security information had been deleted.
