They did not wish to mount major
attack In an effort to destroy uie

would lay waste Uielr own peoples.

McCarthy Testifies 'Blackmail' Used
Against Him By Army Counselor Adams
WASHINGTON I Sen. Mc
Carthy (R-Wlsi swore Thursday
that Army Counselor John G.
Adams tried to blackmail him out
of calling Army loyalty board
members before him lor question
ing about communism, "graft and
corruption."
McCarthy aald Adams used "a
combination of salesmanship and
threats" in a three hour talk at
McCarthy's Washington apartment
on the night of last Jan. 22.
And, McCarthy aald, Adams
made It "very, very clear" that
If the investigation were not called
off an unfavorable report about
Roy M. Cohn, .chief counsel to the
McCarthy subcommittee, would be
made public.
At Uiat time, McCarthy said,
"they had not thought up" the
charges subsequently filed against
McCarthy, Cohn and Francis P.
Cair, staff director for the aub-
cominittee. -
.. "I told him we Just would not
be blackmailed." McCartny swore.
In KWllt recital of his relations
with Secretary of the Army Stev
ens and Adams, McCarthy also
testified:
1. Stevens and Adams sought to
divert bis subcommittee from Its
investigation of Reds In Uie Army
and suggested to him at a Nov.
8 Pentagon luncheon that "there
must be" Communist infiltration
of uie Air Force and Uie Navy
which the subcommittee could in
vestigate. 2. As early as last September,
he urged Stevens to "lean over
backwards" against giving any
special conslderaUon to O. David
Sclilne, wealthy young consultant
to Uie McCarthy subcommittee
who luccd prospective drafting in
to the Army.
3. Stevens, in his presence, asked
Schtne to pose with Stevens for
a photograph St McGuire Air
Force Base last fall. Stevens has
testified he does not believe he
proposed Uie1 picture that he
certainly had no recollection of it.
4. In his opinion, Uie Army took
reprisals against MaJ. Gen. Kirke
B. Lawlon because Lawton coop-
erated with McCarthy's investiga
tions subcommittee. McCarthy said
he believes Lawton, commander
of Ft. Monmouth. N. J., failed to
get a promotion to uie permanent
rank of major general because of
such cooperation.
McCarthy contended it was his
committee's efforts to go behind
uie scenes In the Pentagon and
find out who was "coddling" Com
munists Uiat led to the filing of
charges against him and Bis com
mittee staff.
"I think, that is responsible for
the hearings here today," be de
clared.

SEATTLE. Wash. Mt . Secre
tary of . state Dulles Thursday re
jected British -and French argu
ments that the united Nations
should not act on Indochina while
peace negotiations with the Com
munists are under way at Geneva.
He appealed in effect for speedy
action by the U.N. Security Coun
cil to send a peace observation
commission to Southeast Asia, as
serting that "knowledge has never
yet been an impedment to honest
negotiation.".
Dulles did not mention Britain
and France by name but U. S.
diplomats In Washington said those
nations have been .the principal
source of arguments which Dulles
said have "little validity."
In a speech prepared for the
International Rotary convention
here, Dulles discussed major top
ics of American foreign policy with
emphasis on these points:
1. Today there is perhaps too
much dlference between the mem-
bera of the non-Communist world."
Dulles deplored the lack of unity
but said it is probably Inevitable
in the development of common
policies among free nations. He
presumably reforred to differences
about acUon to save Indochina
from Communist control,

orable discharge Feb. 1 of MaJ.

described by McCarthy as'a tilth

Peress declined last winter to
answer questions from McCarthy,
invoking the fifth amendment's
protection against forcing a wit
ness to give testimony against
himself.
McCarthy served notice that
once the current hearings are out
of the way he Intends to get army
loyalty board members before
him.
Bay H. Jenkins, special counsel
to the Senate investigations sub
committee, completed direct ex
amination of McCarthy Just before
the subcommittee recessed for

Under the established procedure,
Jenkins will cross-examine him

Both Stevens and Adams, also
under oath, have denied they tried
to divert the subcommittee to in
vestigation of the Navy and Air
Force.
Army. Counsel Joseph N. Welch
listened with his head cocked at
tentively to McCarthy's testimony.
He seemed to have thrust aside
any emotional hangover from his

3. The first condition must be

By EDDY GILMORE

Secretary Anthony Eden called on
the Indochina peace conference
Thursday to narrow East-West
differences without delay or admit

the differences are both wide and
deep, but he said his delegation
Is "still willing to attempt to re
solve them."
"But If Uie positions remain a
they are today." he ald, "then
It Is our clear duty to aay so to
uie world, and to admit that wa
have failed."
Eden spoke at a semi-public ses
sion of the nine-party Indochina
conference. Despite his avowed
willingness to make further effort .
to reach a cease-fire, he left no
doubt that he considered the out-
looa grim. He said the past two
days of debate bad deepened the
differences between the West and
ine communists.
"I say this with Infinite rearet
he added, "but It Is our stern duty

BASIC ISSUES
He stated uiat there were deen

Issues of supervising a cease-fire
and of handling the problem of
Laos and Cambodia, two of the
associated states of Indochina.
Eden firmly rejected the Com.
munist proposal Uiat the Indochina
ceasefire be supervised by a four
nation commission, made up - of
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Sweden
and Switzerland. ,-.
"I am convinced," he said,
that a group of four powers, two
supporting uie views of either side,
can only lead to deadlock. My rea
son for refusing to accept such a
proposal is not Ideological. It la
simply that it wouldn't work." ,
He repeated hi own proposal
that the supervisory body be made
MP of the five Asian countries
which recently took part In the
conference at Colombo, Ceylon.
These were India, Pakistan, Cey
lon, Bum and Indonesia. Theee
countries, he said, "would form a
Just and impartial commission."

Laos and Cambodia that there Is
no civil war In their countries,
but that they have been Invaded
by Communist-led Vtetminh forces.

CHINESE ACCUSE
However, most of Chou's
