WASHINGTON, May 5 (iP) Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) took the witness
stand today and, in dramatic sworn testimony, refused to name an Army intelligence officer
who, he said, gave him secret FBI material warning of Russian spy danger at Ft. Mon
mouth, N.J.
Roaring his refusal before a tense throng of spectators at a televised hearing, the Wis-
Malone Orders
Investigation
Into 'Mowing.
PITTSBURGH, May 5 (PM—Dis
trict Attorney James F. Malone
ordered today an investigation in
Allegheny County of what he
termed "macing of state em
ployees by Gov. John S. Fine."
Gov. Fine was not immediately
available for comment.
Malone said he has received
reports that state employees in
the county are being required to
contribute 1 per cent of their
wages to a political campaign
fund for the Republican party.
State law prohibits the forcing
of any state employee to contri
bute to campaign funds.
The district attorney said he has
ordered county detectives to ques
tion all state employees in the
county and added:
"Then the employees need have
no fear of reprisal. They can be
assured of public support. I pledge
to them in return for their help
relentless prosecution of those in
volved."
Malone said he sent Gov. Fine a
letter, which stated in part:
- 'Since all this is being done un
der your direction, I am not telling
you anything you don't already
know."

WASHINGTON, May 5 VP)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
today praised John Foster Dulles
as the greatest secretary of state
in his memory and sharply re
jected talk of a major U.S. diplo
matic defeat at the Geneva con
ference on Asia.
No one, the President said, can
count a battle lost while it is still
going on.
Pledging unqualified support for
Dulles, who flew back from Gen
eva yesterday, Eisenhower told
his news conference the United
States will continue to work for
a collectiYe security arrangement
for Southeast Asia.
But Eisenhower declined to take
the view that Dulles has suffered

consin senator told Army Coun
sel Joseph N. Welch:
"Neither you nor anybody else
will get me to violate the confi
dence of loyal people . . You can
try until doomsday."
McCarthy's Day
It was McCarthy's day in an
other respect, too.
He established, through FBI Di
rector J Edgar Hoover, that the
secret material in question was a
condensed version—mostly word
for word—of a spy warning the
FBI sent to Army intelligence Jan
26, 1951.
The Army lawyer had chal
lenged McCarthy's version of this
material—in the form of a letter
purporting to be from Hoover—
as a "perfect phoney."
Hoover Denies Letter
Hoover sent word through a sub
committee aide that he never
wrote such a letter. But after a
recheck the aide, Robert A. Col
lier, said Hoover told him the let
ter was taken almost verbatim
from • a much longer FBI memo
issued on that same 1951 day.
Then arose the question of
, where McCarthy got the letter.
! With a showmanlike flourish.
Special Counsel Ray H. Jenkins
!called out the name of his next
witness: "Sen. McCarthy!"
McCarthy glowered at Jenkins
I—said he'd be glad to take the
stand but insisted on one thing:
!That all other senators in the in
quiry be made to testify under
loath. too, on the sources of their
nformation.
any defeat. As for the Geneva
conference, now nine days old, the
President said it "has produced
no surprises. The expressed fears
of some have proved unfounded."
Speaking with emphasis, the
President. thus discounted qualms
expressed in advance by some
Congress members that Dulles. in
dealing with the Russians and
Chinese Communists around the
conference table at Geneva. might
"appease" the Soviet bloc.
Eisenhower made his statement
zhortly after conferring with
Dulles at the White House amid
signs that a storm over the suc
cess or failure of Dulles' efforts
at Geneva was blowing up on
Capitol Hill.

Reds Push Nearer
To Dien :ien
HANOI, Indochina, May 5 (W)—Hordes of Vietminh troops dug
new trenches and foxholes today within grenade hurling distance of
Dien Bien Phu's dwindling barricades. A few hundred yards away,
more French Union paratroops and tons of supplies dropped through
sheets of rebel antiaircraft fire to bolster the weary defenders.
Despite dense tropical rain, Fly
ing Boxcars piloted by American
civilians, and Dakota transports
swooped low to drop their pre
cious human and materiel cargoes
into the beleaguered bastion's
heart. The northwestern Indochi
nese plains fortress has been hold
ing out against massive Commu
nist-led attacks for nearly two
months.
As fervent preparations were
pushed on both sides of the barri
cades for what may be the final
rebel drive, U.S. Air Force Globe
masters winged from Southern
France with 450 French army and
air force technicians bound for
Indochina. In a similar airlift
three weeks ago, U.S. planes took
1000 French paratroops to Indo
china.
The Vietminh "mole men," using
picks, shovels, knives and their
hands, bored in toward the maze
of barbed wire protecting the
shrinking French perimeter on all
sides. Heedless of the pelting sea
sonal rains that have turned the
area into seas of mud, the rebels
narrowed to 40 yards the distance
separating them from the barri
cades.

NEW YORK May 5 (.P)—Adm.
Robert B. Carney, chief of naval
operations, said today Navy se
curity checks are as tight as it
can make them—and were so even
before Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's
Army probe.
Carney addressed a luncheon
of the Public Relations Society of
America, and answered a number
of questions afterward.
He was asked if the Navy made
"any tightening of security
checks" as a result of the Ft.
Monmouth probe by the Internal
Security subcommittee headed by
the Wisconsin Republican senator.
"They were as tight as we could
make them . . . Within the limits
of the investigative resources we
had, we were doing the most we
could to make damn sure we were
locating and getting rid of the
subversives. We have no place for
them."
Carney also asserted his belief
that a lot of valuable information
is being withheld 'unnecessarily
from the public.
For instance, he said, he feels
that information "we have regard
ing the emergence of the Russians,
in their effort to become a mari
time power. should be made thor
oughly public in our country."
Truman Slams Hearing
NEW YORK, May 5 (,LP)—Former
President Harry S. Truman is
quoted in Newsweek magazine to
day as calling the McCarthy-Army
hearing the "sort of thing that
should be left to Barnum & Bai
ley."
