Monmouth, N. caused "a great de'al of misinformation and excitement." But he conceded McCarthy did "speed up" some suspensions. Stevens denied he was trying to minimize the worth of McCarthy's investigation, but testi fied the Army's own probe for suspected subversives at the big radar center would have reached the same end if McCarthy had stayed out of the picture. Testifying at the Senate Investigation of the feud between McCarthy and military officials, Stevens said the. Army had information of its own on all cases brought to light by McCarthy.

Six persons had been suspended before McCarthy came into the Fort Monmouth picture, he said, and later there were 27 more suspensions. Of those suspended, Stevens said, 13 have been put back to work in non-sensitive positions pending further investigation. Sixteen cases have been heard and boards are in process of making reports. Six cases remain to be heard. Stevens' testimony about the Ft.

Tre-leaven's defense of the County budget Friday before the County Tax Allocation Board: To the Editor of The Port Huron Times I believe it necessary to reply to the statements of Mr. Treleaven to the St. Clair County Allocation Board which appeared in your April 24 issue. While representing the Citizens Commission (not as an official of my company) before the Allocation Board, I pointed out the surpluses available to several County Departments and emphasized the lack of information available which was needed to judge the relative importance of the request of the County Road Commission. This was not intended as a criticism of the Road Commission because sufficient data is not available to justify the operations of that Commission.

I believe that full public disclosure of Road Commission expenditures and detailed budget estimates would Se TAX ISSUE, Page 5.
