Army Report
Hits Counsel
Of McCarthy
WASHINGTON, March 12 (IF)
—Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-
Wis.) and Army Secretary Rob
ert T. Stevens collided again to
day as charges and countercharges
of pressure, blackmail, and lying
exploded around the case of a
drafted member of McCarthy's
subcommittee staff.
What set off the latest spectac
ular flare-up within and around
the McCarthy subcommittee was
an Army report accusing the Wis
consin senator and his chief coun
sel, Roy Cohn, of turning on pres
sure for favored treatment for
Pvt. David G. Schine.
Schine is Cohn's pal and was a
consultant to the McCarthy com
mittee until the was drafted into
the Army last November.
McCarthy bitterly protested
that the report was an attempt at
"blackmail." Just as bitterly,
Stevens protested McCarthy's re
lease of an unsigned memoran
dum the senator said was from
committee files—a memo that said
Stevens had asked that the sub
committee shift its hunt for Reds
from the Army to the Air Force,
Navy, and. Defense department.
The Army report at the heart
of the newest clash said Cohn
told Stevens he ' would be
"through" and the Army "wreck
ed" if Schine was sent overseas.
It said McCarthy repeatedly ask
ed that he be assigned to the New
York area, where he could assist
the subcommittee on the side.
At the McCarthy news confer
ence, Cohn sat pale and solemn
beside the Wisconsin senator.
McCarthy said he had no in
tention of firing Cohn.

Coeds to Decide on Ele ti n issue
A decision to release. the Wo
men's Student Government Asso
ciation's final electiOn figures was
again postponed yesterday when
Senate unanimously agreed to
take a vote among women stu
dents.
Women may vote on the issue
at the primary elections Tuesday.
Final elections will be Thursday.
The vote is a compromise mea
sure taken when Mary E. Brewer,
assistant to the Dean of Women,
said Senate was not legally able
to release the figures in view of
a vote taken in 1951.
When a proposal to release the
figures was being considered in
November 1951, womerr voted at
house meetings that they did not
wish to have the results released.
Eighty-five per cent of the women
students voted. Two-thirds of
those voting opposed releasing the
figures.
Because of the results of this
vote and because women may see

points. the Panthers advanced a
full team, eight men, into the
quarter finals. Nevertheless, there
is a possibility that three of these
will be eliminated in the quarter
finals.
Homan, with less than ten sec
onds left in the first period, took
his opponent. Dick Anderson of
Syracuse, down for two points.
Homan scored an escape point in
the second period and then from
a standing position secured a dou
ble arm lock and tripped Ander
son to the mat for the fall. The
time was 5:53.
Adding another point to the
Penn State total, Lemyre pinned
Frank Yatsu. of Brown with a
three-quarter nelson and body
press at 1:16 of the bout. Lemyre
had a quick takedown and found
little trouble in making Yatsu ob

"Ignorance of the law is not
blissful—but blistered!"
Those are the words of Capt.
Philip A. Mark, head of the Cam
pus Patrol. He cited a case to
prove his point.
A student, given a ticket for a
parking violation, decided to drive
to the patrol office to pay his
fine. He drove down Pollock road
during class hours. He was
stopped by Mark and given an
other ticket for a traffic viola
tion. Total in fines: $5. The stu
dent? Blistering.
Three other students were given
tickets yesterday for driving on
Pollock road between 7:30 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m. This brings to 38

a traf f i c violation crackdown
started four days ago.
But students are striking back.
Two days ago a sign flapped in

tabled the proposal to release the
figures.
Miss Brewer said whether the
figures are published is immater
ial, but Senate cannot act against
a vote taken of the students. She
said the women should be able
to vote again.
According to the motion passed
unanimously by Senate, if the vote
shows that women wish the final
election figures released, WSGA
will release them. The primary
election figures will not be re
leased.
Patricia Ellis, senior senator,
said the attitude expressed by the
vote taken in 1951 was practically
the result of the fact that the pro
posal was presented in a negative
manner. Miss Ellis said at that
time WSGA opposed releasing the
figures and presented the proposal
negatively.
