Administthtion On, ChallOne WASHINGTON, May 44. (il 3 )- , —The Eisenhower administration today clamped a secrecy lid on a now-famous meeting which helped prepare the way for the Army's challenge to Senator Joseph R. Mc- Carthy (R-Wis). , The "don't talk" edict brought swift protests from Democrats on the McCarthy-Army Investiga tions subcommittee. They de manded that top federal officials —up to ,but not including Presi dent Eisenhower—be called, if necessary, to find out whether the ,Army's actions were master minded at the highest level of government. The meeting in question was held Jan. 21 and was attended by, Sherman Adams, the President's top assistant;' and Attorney Gen eral Herbert Brownell. Army Counseloi• John. G. Ad ams testified Wednesday th a t Sherman Adams advised him at this meeting, held in Brownell's office, to keep a written record Of the, Army's troubles with Mc-, Carthy's office over Pvt. G. David Schine. Later publication of this record led to the 'present blazing row. , T l , r .

Haac said the Unitarians are not eligible under the require ments for membership set down in the working papers of the new group. The requrements read that any group included in the defini tion of Protestant as set down by the National Council of Churches is eligible. The Unitarians are not included under this definition. Although Haac said Christian Scientists and Friends would also be excluded, Warren Smith; clerk, of the State College Friends Meet ing said Thursday representatives of the Friends will meet with the PSCA committee to work out any differences that may exist. The Christian Science organiza tion , is note at present a member of PSCA and., according to the rules of its church, is not permit:- ted to affiliate with any campus organization. John Tomlinson, publicity di rector of the Emerson Society, cit ed the statement of orientation in the new group's working- papers as being the basis of exclusion of many "lib eral-protestants" and the Emerson Society in particular. The orientation statement be gins "Believing that God incar nate in Jesus the Christ . ." Tom linson said many "liberal-protes tants"' object to the belief that God is. not incarnate in every man. Final approval of the working papers of the University Christian Association has been delayed un til more definite financial and personnel details can be worked out.

Only students whose names appear on' the instruc tors' lists will be permitted to take 'the conflict examinations. Mum Meet Today Democrats on the sub committee pressed for more de tails of .the meeting, and down over the televised hearings came the administration's secrecy lid. Joseph• N. Welch, counsel to the Army officials, said Adams had been instructed to say no more about the meeting. These instruc tions, he said, came from the act ing head of the Defense Depart ment, Robert Anderson. Welch added that he understood Ander son was transmitting them for somebody else. That pointed to the White House, and the White House Assistant Press Secretary Murray Snyder, when asked if the order originated there, would say only: "I have no information to give out."
