Senator Hurls Questions At Secretary Stevens (Continued from Page One) radar laboratories "Commies have free access." "I say Commies do not have free access to those laboratories," Stevens flared. Three days before the Nov. 16 meeting in his office with Cohn and Carr, Stevens recalled, he had said at a news conference that he knew of no current espionage at Ft. Monmouth despite the head lines growing out U McCarthy's prcfce there. Stevens said Carr and Colin told him McCarthy "felt t had pulled the rug from under him." At the meeting with the sena tor's two aides, he said, "there was plenty of what was Toing to happen now." McCarthy: "You say they told you I was unhappy?" Stevens: "That's correct." McCarthy: "And they told you the investigations would continue?" Stevens: "They certainly did." When McCarthy asked how that was an attempt to win preferen tial treatmcn for Schine, Stevens retorted it was "all part of a pat tern, in my opinion." His voice dripping with sarcasm, McCarthy questioned Stevens about what he called the "promo tion" of Schine to private. He asked whether there was any1 rat ing fever than private. Stevens turned around and had a whispered exchange with Army officers sitting near him before replying. "No," Stevens said. "He started as a rocruit and is now a private." A roar of laughter almost drowned out Stevens' additional statement: "I don't consider that a promo tion."
