This two car accident about 9 a.m. Wednesday at 19th and Trade
Streets resulted in heavy damage to both cars. John A. Wiemals,
22, of 539 N. Winter St., driver of the overturned car, was treated
by first aidmen and taken to Salem General Hospital with a
fractured jaw and face lacerations. He was treated and released.

President Eisenhower told his
news conference that the United
States has lost international pres
tige as a result of the row be
tween Sen. McCarthy and the
Army.
In Salem, Secretary of the In
terior Douglas McKay termed the
current hearing "very unfortun
ate, which isn't doing anybody
any good."
And Senator Cordon back in
Washington seems to have discov
ered that the McCarthy-Army
hearing is "hurting" the Repub
lican Party, and "is accomplish
ing utterly no good."
In truth the spectacle is dis
turbing and disgusting. But Mr.
Eisenhower can't escape personal
responsibility for the build-up
which McCarthy has had. As
candidate for President in 1952
he appeased the junior senator
from Wisconsin to the extent of
removing from his speech a pass
age praising General Marshall.
And as President he directed or
permitted departments to knuckle
under to McCarthy until finally
the Army got its back up (and
now has the President's firm sup
port). As for Cordon, his grief seems
to be solely for the effect of the
hearing on the Republican Party.
That naturally is of concern to
him since he is a candidate for
reelection this year. But Cordon
has never evinced any concern
over the wrongs done by McCar
thy to the cause of honest in
quiry or to respect for the truth.
I was in Washington in 1950
shortly after McCarthy had made
his brazen statements charging
there were varying numbers of
Communists in the State Depart
ment. I recall

Flood
Threats
Increase
PORTLAND UFi The Columbia
River flood potential contained in
mountain snow packs increased
in the past month, the Soil
Conservation Service reported
Wednesday.
Nearly all snow courses along
the headwaters of the Columbia
and i t s principal tributaries
showed an increase in water
content in a May 1 survey.
River forecasters said, however,
that the figures have not been
evaluated completely. They will
undergo study until next Monday,
when the Weather Bureau and the
Soil Conservation Service will issue
a joint forecast on the flood
danger.
The last joint forecast, based on
an April 1 snow survey, warned
of a possibly dangerous flood
along the Kootenai River in
Northern Idaho, of some flood
danger in Cascade Range streams
of Eastern Washington and British
Columbia, and of lesser danger
along the lower Columbia.

Ike Asserts Hearing
Hurts U.S. Prestige
WASHINGTON un President
Eisenhower said Wednesday . the
McCarthy - Army row has cost
the United States a loss of inter
national prestige and, to some
extent, of national self respect.
He hopes, he told his news
conference, that the incident will
provide advantages that are at
least comparable to those losses.
He took occasion also, in
answering questions, to say he
knows nothing that would cause
him to lose confidence in Secre
tary of Army Stevens' adminis
tration of the Army. On that
basis, the President said, he
would back Stevens to the limit.
Eisenhower told- his news con

the whole business would be con

Dulles is understood to have
State Department briefing President Eisenhower believes Indochi
na is a far worse place to involve
American forces than was Korea.
The senators and House mem
bers met with Dulles for one hour
and 45 minutes Wednesday after
noon. Responsible informants quot
ed the secretary as saying he in
tends to press ahead to forge a
"united front" to protect Southeast
Asia, even if Britain withholds co
operation. Dulles was represented
as being confident, however, that
eventually Britain would decide to
join the United States and otner
interested anti-communist nations
in this plan.
He has invited nine countries to
join Britain. France, Australia,
New Zealand. Thailand, The Phil
ippines and the three Indochina
states of Vietnam, Laos and Cam-

Dulles is reported to have
stressed it is vital to American
security the United States continue
to work closely and harmoniously
with Britain as well as France in

Hoover Backs
Secret Data
As Authentic
By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON (Jt .Sen. Joseph
R. McCarthy took the witness stand
Wednesday and, in dramatic sworr
testimony, refused to aame an Ar
my intelligence officer who, he
said, gave him secret FBI material
warning of Russian spy danger at
Ft. Monmouth. N. J. j
Roaring his refusal before a
tense throng of spectators at a tele
vised hearing, the Wisconsin sena
tor told Army counsel Joseph N.
Welch:
"Neither you nor anybody else
will get me to violate the confi
dence of loyal people.' You can try
until doomsday.
Welch reminded McCarthy of his
oath to 'teD the whole truth and
implored him to do so. But' McCar
thy stuck to his position and was
upheld by Sen. MundJ (R-SD), act
ing chairman of the investigating
subcommittee. !:
Highlight ef Hearing
McCarthy's first appearance as
witness provided one" of the high
lights of the 10-day-old airing of his
row with high Pentagon officials.
It was McCarthy's day in anoth
er respect, too. . "
He established, through FBI Di
rector J. Edgar Hover. that the
secret material in question was a
condensed version -mostly word
for word of a spy warning the FBI
sent to Army intelligence Jan. 28,
1951. i
The Army lawy er had challenged
McCarthy's version of this materi
al in the form of a letter purport
ing to be from Hoover as a "per
fect phoney."
Taken from Memo'
Hoover sent word through a sub
committee aide that ie never wrote
such a letter. But after a recheck
the aide. Robert A. Collier, said
Hoover told him (he letter was
taken almost verbatim, from a
much longer FBI riemo issued on
that same 1951 day;
Then arose the question of where
I McCarthy got the fetter.
w ith a showmanlike nourish,
special counsel Ray H. Jenkins
called out the name of his next
witness: "Sen. McCarthy!
There w as a gasp from the stand
ing room only audience.
Qualifies Stand ;
McCarthy glowered at Jenkins
said he'd be glad to take the stand
but insisted on one thing: That aU
other senators in the inquiry be
made to testify under oath, too, on
the sources of their information.
Then McCarthy strode from the
committee table to the witness
chair, took the oalh.
He said he waived any senatorial
immunity lie might have.
Then, when Jenkins asked him
to say in his own words where the
secret FBI data came from. Mc
Carthy took the stand from which
he never retreated:
"I will not under any circum
stances reveal the source of any in
formation I may get as, chairman
of this committee."
McCarthy is the regular chair
man of the Senate investigations
subcommittee. He has stepped
down from the po4t for purposes of
these hearings.
Had Warning
McCarthy produced the letter in
an effort to show that the army
dragged its feet in rooting out al
leged subversives although he said
it had ample warning.
Stevens has repeatedly denied he
was dilatory and Wednesday, be
declared that the Army ordered a
full FBI investigation of Ft Mon
mouth in April, 1353 two months
after he took office.
