David Schine, McCarthy aide, for a commission in the Army.

McCarthy later said the papers showed he only signed as witness to Schine's signature to a loyalty oath. (AP Wirephoto) Centered Around Schine Summary of Probe Pinpoints Disputes WASHINGTON UP- -Here is a summary of the Senate investigations subcommittee's inquiry into the dispute between Sen. McCarthy and top Army officials: The Original Charges--Secretary of the Army Counselor John G. Adams accused McCarthy and two subcommittee aides, Roy M.

Cohn and Francis P. Carr, of using improper pressures to win favored Army treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine, a subcommittee consultant who was drafted. McCarthy and his aides in turn accused Stevens and Adams of trying to use Schine as a in efforts to cause McCarthy to halt or divert an investigation of alleged subversives in the Army, particularly at Ft.

Monmouth, N.J. They also accused Assistant Secretary of Defense H. Struve Hensel of seeking to discredit the subcommittee. The subcommittee dismissed Carr and Hensel as principals on a 4-3 party-line vote May 26. Pertinent Past Testimony Stevens denied trying to halt McCarthy's probe, but testified he objected to methods he said gave a distorted picture.

He said McCarthy's aides subjected. him to threats of an "exceedingly serious" nature in seeking Army favors for Schine. Adams testified Cohn threatened that if Schine were sent overseas Stevens would be "through as secretary" and the Army wrecked. He said Cohn brought pressure that was "extremely hard to Cohn said Stevens and Adams repeatedly Monmouth probes. sought to He stop said the Ft.

Adams often referred Schine as "the "stop at nothing" to block hostage" and once said he would mittee questioning of members of the Army's top loyalty board. McCarthy denied under oath seeking favors for Schine and said he does not know of "one iota" of improper influence on behalf of Schine. He testified Army officials filed "blackmail" charges against him and his aides to prevent exposure of those who "coddled" Communists. McCarthy portrayed Stevens as a "fundamentally honest" man who was "mousetrapped" by others into a plot against McCarthy and the Republican party. Carr testified Adams made per- Minor Accident Here Causes Slight Damage Samuel H.

T. Central College in Naperville since Othmann Firing, who resigned. sistent demands that the McCarthy probes of the Army be stopped. Yesterday's Highlights Carthy said he regards as true everything in his side's complaint against Stevens and Adams. He termed "very insulting" any gestion that he would allow favors for an Army private to influence his investigations.

Special Army Counsel Joseph N. Welch recalled that McCarthy had said earlier he had never seen an application by Schine for an Army commission. Welch produced a signature by McCarthy on a printed form and said it was, part of Schine's application. and McCarthy finally agreed McCarthy had witnessed Schine's loyalty oath, which accompanied the application. Welch suggested McCarthy was not being gracious in saying.

as a witness. that the charges against Cohn and Carr had been proved baseless. McCarthy said he could not be gracious if false charges were made against them. Welch and McCarthy tangled again when the Army lawyer said the senator had no monopoly on Communist-hunting. Welch finally said he does admire "the work you do when it succeeds." He and McCarthy agreed there is room for both the Army and congressional committees in the search for subversives.

McCarthy said he regards the situation in the Central Intelligence Agency as worse than in the Army. Oppenheimer Data Lost, Found Again WASHINGTON in Rep. Hinshaw (R-Calif) said Wednesday a semi-secret summary of the ceedings in the security case of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, and some secret FBI documents were lost or stolen last Friday night.

They were recovered again Sunday, in a lost-and-found railway office, but Hinshaw said the sum-! mary's temporary disappearance was one reason the Atomic Energy Commission voted to release a transcript of the proceedings. The theory was that the lossi compromised the security of the summary and that it may have, in a sense, become public property. Hinshaw said the Senate-House atomic energy commission, of which he is a member, received a letter from the AEC telling this story: AEC Commissioner Eugene Zuckert had the papers with him but missed them when he left a train Friday night at Stamford, Conn. The commission met Saturday to, consider the matter, three of the five members being present. They voted 2-1 against releasing the transcript.

On Wednesday, a second was held with all five present. vote was 4-1 this transcript, time in favor complete of releasing the except for security deletions. The commission got in touch with all witnesses and obtained their consent to publication. The commission has said it will, the make the ruling- whether noted atomic scientist should continue to be barred from. atomic data as a security risk-by the end of this month.

WASHINGTON McCarthy said today he has "no idea" how many informants his investigations subcommittee has in the government, but each of his 14 investigators has individuals who supply information and tips. McCarthy was questioned by Army Counsel Joseph N. Welch at McCarthy-Army hearings about the sources of his information from within the government. Welch was having a clear hand in the fast-waning stages of the hearings to put his questions to the senator. Members of the hearings subcommittee were all passing their rounds.

after the luncheon recess, leaving the field to the Army lawyer. Senators Engage in Rows Throughout the forenoon' session, Welch had had little time with the witness owing to prolonged political wrangling among the senators. In often-heated exchanges, Sen. McClellan (D-Ark) accused the Republican administration of "lack of capacity" to govern. And McCarthy, blaming the Democrats for "promoting" the charges against him, predicted they will "suffer and result.

Other bleedenators also pitched into it. "Welch put a number of whether questions the to McCarthy as to senator had tried to get an army commission for G. David Schine, his wealthy young, unpaid staff aide who was drafted last fall. McCarthy insisted he hadn't. On the contrary, he as he has before, he asked Secretary of the Army Stevens to lean over backward not to do favors for Schine.

He commented: "He has leaned over very far backward. Dave is still a private." McCarthy Denies 'Leaning' Welch asked McCarthy whether he himself had "leaned over backward" on the matter of a commission for Schine. "'I did no leaning." McCarthy said. As for Schine himself, McCarthy said, "I think Dave was anxious to get a commission. I think it was a normal attitude of any young man going into Welch had gone earlier into the question of what association McCarthy had had with Schine's wealthy parents, Mr.

and Mrs. J. Myer Schine. McCarthy said he had visited their homes in New York City and at a lake at Gloversville, N. Y.

McCarthy said, however, he had "very little close relationships" with Schine's family. He recalled that one occasion he spent the weekend at the Schine place at Gloversville. Roy M. Cohn, chief counsel to the McCarthy subcommittee, also was present, McCarthy said. Tries to Tie Up Incidents Welch Suggested it was shortly after this that Scuine began his etforts, which were unsuccessful, to get a commission as an army officer.

McCarthy did not connect the two in relation to time. He insisted he took no part in efforts to get a commission for Schine and called Welch's questioning silly harangue." The only thing he ever did, McCarthy said once more, was to ask Maj. Gen. Miles Reber on July 8 how Schine should go about applying for a commission. Reber was then liaison officer to Congress.

There were efforts also by James D. St. Claire, assistant to Welch, to dent McCarthy's story that Army Counselor John G. Adams tried to "blackmail" McCarthy into dropping his plans to call Army loyalty board members before his investigations subcom- mittee. Says Adams Used 'Blackmail' are in charge of this event.

McCarthy insisted Adams did use "blackmail" tactics and gave him to understand that if he proceeded with his plans an "embarrassing" report would be circulated about Cohn. At another point, McCarthy read his World War IT record to the hearing at the suggestion of Sen. Dirksen (R-Ill). McCarthy said he regarded his Turn to No. 1.
