Cohn Swears Stevens and Adams
Tried to Block McCarthy’s Probe
WASHINGTON, WV—Roy M.<j
Cohn swore Thursday Secretary
Stevens and Army Counselor John
G. Adams tried to block the Mc
Carthy subcommittee’s probe for
Communists in the Army, and
quoted Adams as saying it would
be “a feather in his cap” if no
hearings were held.
Under oath, the 27-year-old
chief aide to Sen. McCarthy also
said it was “true,” as the McCar
thy camp alleges, that the Army
officials tried to “discredit” the
subcommittee.
Cohn said that soon after Ad
ams was employed as Army coun
selor last Oct. 1 Adams told him it
would be a “feather in his cap”
and would “solidify his job” if he
could persuade the subcommittee
not to hold either public or execu
tive hearings on alleged subver
sion at Ft. Monmouth, N.J.
He said Adams made no direct
request that the subcommittee
drop its investigation but made it
' clear it would be “welcome news”
if the subcommittee would turn
the inquiry over to the Army it
self.
Stevens and Adams both insist
ed when they were witnesses ear
lier in the McCarthy Army hear
ings that they never tried to halt
the senator’s investigation.
Disney Cameraman
Stalks Reindeer
In Lonely Arctic
JUNEAU—Imagine the surprise
of Clarence J. Rhode, regional
director of the Fish and Wildlife
Service in Alaska, when he flew
his small plane up the Killik Riv
er on the trail of migrating cari
bou recently and there on a knoll
not far from the summit of the
Brooks Range saw “a regular
mansion.”
The dwelling turned out to be
the headquarters of Herb Crisler,
photographer of wildlife for Walt
Disney’s True Life Adventure ser
ies. Crisler and his wife have
spent the winter there photo
graphing caribou and wolves.
“He should have some wonder
ful pictures,” Rhode says; “he’s
right in the middle of the caribou
migration.”
The Crislers, who are served by
an airdrop each week from Alatno
120 miles to the south, are the
only humans in hundreds of
square miles of the arctic. Their
“mansion” is spotted 300 miles
northwest of Fairbanks, 250 miles
south of Barrow and 75 miles
along the Brooks Range summit
from Anaktuvuk Pass, the only
village in the interior of the arctic.
The Crislers have produced
other pictures for Disney, includ
ing “The Olympic Elk,” and have
photographed sequences in Alaska
for “Bear Country” ahd other
productions.
For the first time in history,
eight cylinder cars outsold sixes
in the United States in 1953.
>----—-- I
Stevens said he was concerned
about the “type” of hearings and
what he termed the way the
Army was being “hammered.”
He said he felt an unfair picture
of the situation was being given
by the McCarthy subcommittee.
Earlier, Cohn had claimed full
credit for the McCarthy subcom
mittee for suspension of 35 sus
pected security risks in the Army
—a claim previously denied by
Adams and Stevens, who insisted
the subcommittee supplied only
minor information which the Ar
my didn’t already have.
Cohn testified it looked to him
like the situation at Monmouth
was such that such action was
being taken only because of the
subcommittee investigation, and
if the investigation were dropped
“the action might very well stop.”
