The Conservative Daily Mail said Stevens' reversal of an earlier decision showed the Wisconsin Senator is an extremely powerful figure.

I Arrives Home, Goes Marilyi III With i 11 fi V- I Li Pneumonia McCarthy was In a position to destroy Secretary of the Army Robert T. Stevens. President Eisenhower, who spent 40 years of his life in the Army, was the only man who could possibly have taken McCarthy off Steven's back. If Mr. Eisenhower had tried to do so it would have produced an irreparable breach between the genteel wing of the Republican party and the dead end kids represented by McCarthy.

Senator Dirksen of Illinois, chairman of the Senate Republican Campaign committee. stepped into this perilous situation as a peacemaker, and arranged the luncheon meeting where the Army made an unconditional surrender to McCarthy.

STEVENS Page 8 Go Between Senator Joe building at the end of the hectic day, he said mournfully: "It seems like I'm always going around this place with an oil can." Dirksen was asked if he had been in contact with President Eisenhower in arranging the meeting where Secretary of the Army Stevens threw in the sponge. "I really can't comment on thnt." he said, The completeness of Stevens' capitulation can best be measured by the fact that in his "memorandum of understanding" with McCarthy he with drew a previous order which forbade Brig Gen Ralph W.

Zwicker to answer a Mc-Carty subpoena. It was McCarthy's "abuse" of Zwicker at a hearing last week that originally produced Stevens'short-lived burst of defiance of McCarthy.
