David Scbine in an effort to get Uie investigation sioppea, or (2) sougnt to "ap pease" sen. McCarthy. Adams said any special consid eration lor Schlne stemmed only from Uie McCarthy subcommit tee s picturing him as essential to its rk, and that any special deference for McCarthy was a matter of trying to avoid "open aosuiuy. Adams was back in the witness chair, at the McCarthy-Army hear ings jar toe second day this ume :or cross-examinatloa. At Uie outset, he swore Secre tary of the Army Stevens never instructed him to try to halt the Mccartny inquiry Into alleged se curity risks at Monmouth and that he never attempted to stop It. But be said, as Stevens did ear lier, that they wanted Uie "type of hearings" ended. Stevens had characterised those hearings as "hammering the Army on the head. For the rest of the forenoon ses sion, Ray H. Jenkins, special coun sel 10 tne benate investigations subcommittee, pressed questions which turned largely sbout these contentions. Jenkins climaxed this phase of his cross-examination by asking whether Adams was saying the Army had "no desire, however slight to slop the McCarthy In- vcsngnuon. denKins asked for a yes or no answer. Adams hesitated. He asked that the question be read back to him by the stenographer.

Speaking for the first time In the Korean discussion, Bidault said reunification should be guar anteed by an all-Korean commis sion in which both North and South, Korea would be represented In pro portion to their population, Bidault called upon the North Koreans to show a sincere desire for the creation of a united, demo cratic and independent Korea. He said the United Nations is the most qualified organization to des ignate observers to watch the pro posed elections. Replying to Communist allega tions that the United Nations had become "accomplice of an aggres sor country." Bidault declared such a statement is neither truth ful nor provable. He added: "To accept this would be in ef fect to deny on our part Uie very principles of Uie international or- ganization in which we have place our hopes and in the service of which we have placed our forces." roe French minister said that it was evident North Korea had committed Uie aggression by sud denly penetrating the territory of its neighbor in armed force with-. out previous recourse to any pro cedure of conciliation or arbitra tion and without any warning. Bidault said he wanted to set forth two principles which the French delegation considers funda mental: "L No project on Korea's unifi cation is conceivable if It does not include a real, effective guarantee that all representation of the Ko rean people within the common organs which might be Instituted will be proportional to the num bers of citizens consulted to each part of the country. . 2. It will be extreme! neces sary, if these elections can bo con sidered as valid, that the condi tions of the freedom of ballot be verified and , attested by neutral observes endowed with, "rfft-t t powers of control." . Earlier, the IS nations which fought under the United Nations uag in &orem wci reponcu w have considered at a private, ses sion the question of wiadina; up the Korean phase of the Geneva, conference. Top diplomats of the IS met for more than an hour to work out plans for bow and when to write off this part of the conference as a failure. There was no immediate word as to whether they actually decided on a cutoff date. But in formed Western sources said the 18 were generally agreed there was no possibility of a negotiated setUement with Uie Communists of the Korean problem at this time.
