McCarthy denied toAiy that he felt any "hostility" for President Nathan M. Pusey of Harvard University, but said he still has "no respect for the man." McCarthy testified under cross-examination at the trial of a former Harvard psychologist charged with contempt of Con gress for refusing to name his old associates in the Communist party. Attorney Calvin P. Bartlett, counsel for Leon J. Kamin, 27, sought to show that McCarthy's Jan. 15, 1954, interrogation of Kamin in Boston was an attempt to expose Communism at Har vard to the "glare of publicity" because of the senator's "hostil ity" toward Pusey. McCarthy said exposure of Communism was "always in the back of my mind" but it was not the "primary purpose" of the in quiry. He said his main purpose at the one-nlan hearing was to "eliminate Kamin from defense work. He was a radar technician."

Stevenson could enter a Demo cratic national convention today with a probable 450 votes of the 600 expected for a majority, Collier's magazine said today. In an article by Theodore H. White, based on his own survey and that of Collier's editorial of fices across the country, the mag azine said New York's Gov. Aver- ill Harriman, on the same basis, can be counted 'for "an easy 150" convention votes. Tennessee's Senator Estes Ke- fauver is figured for 70 or 80 votes as of today, but a possible 350 to 400 "if he goes out and fights in the primaries." The magazine assumed Stev enson's candidacy and assumed Harriman would be at least a tactical candidate but said it was not yet certain whether Kefau ver would decide to make the primary ' races he must fight to enter the convention as a real contender. In totaling up convention votes the magazine figured for Steven son: Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota after a possible first ballot for favorite son Sen. Hubert Hum phrey, Michigan probably after a first ballot vote for Gov. G. Mennen Williams, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Missouri; part of the vote of New Jersey, Tennesee, Maryland, Connecticut and Mas sachusetts; Mississippi, Louis iana, Georgia, North Carolina and most of Alabama. It figured the Far West as "unpredictable" but noted strong support in Washington, New Mexico and Oregon for Stevenson. The mag azine did not make a numerical break-down of estimated conven tion strength. It figured for Harriman: New York "with the possible excep tion of Sen. Herbert Lehman, who is flatly for Stevenson"; part of New Jersey, Massachu setts and Maryland; the District of Columbia, Utah and Idaho. Kefauver's possible 350 to 400 convention votes could be gath ered only by primary races in the big primary states, the maga zine said. New Hampshire, Wis consin, Ohio, Nebraska, Florida, West Virginia, Oregon, Montana, Arizona and California.
