McCarthy Labels Charts Dishonest
WASHINGTON, (JP) Senator
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) has
blasted as “dishonest” Army-pre
pared charts showing the number
of. times Private David Schine was
absent from duty compared with
time off for the average trainee.
McCarthy called it a “deceptive,,
phony chart.”
Army witnesses defended the
charts. And the Fort Dix, N.J.,
commander—Major General Cor
nelius Ryan—-said, “I do not think
anything put out by the Army is
dishonest.”
The Schine .chart contained
black squares denoting the pri
vate’s passes. The lettering indi
cated that Schine got 16 passes,
and was away from Fort Dix on
all or part of 43 days during the
period.
The other chart had white
squares with black lines in them,
indicating most.of Schine’s fellow!

Lyon Blasts 'Paw'
For Mudslinging
John Lyon, State Party vice clique chair man, yesterday charged that Sion’s Paw
“dragged through the gutter” and sought “in every conceivable manner” to beatthewin
ning'candidate in this spring’s All-University elections.
“It is rather ironic,” Lyon said, that “the very man whom Lion’s Paw tried so hard t®
beat is a member of‘this esteemed and honorable’organization.”
Lyon made his statements in a letter and statement to a Daily Collegian reporter,
Lyon said the old Lion’s Paw members had “groomed” Robert Smoot, sixth semester
chemical engineering major and a new member of Lion’s Paw, as its candidate for All-
University president " for “a long time.” He said Smoot had been groomed for the job since
I his freshman year and had re
ceived "choice appointments.”
Lyon said after Smoot did not
get the Lion Party nomination, a
representative of Lion’s Paw con
tacted State Party and "in a mid
night meeting was pressured to
knife in the back State Party’s
nominee for All-University presi
dent (Lewis Wade, secretary of
the Mineral Industries Student
Council) by substituting the ‘more
popular one’.”

Grad Announcements
Seniors may still pick ,up invi
tations and announcements for
graduation at the Student Union
desk in Old Main. Receipts must
be presented in order to obtain
them.
■ trainees got only four passes and
were away from Fort Dix all or
part of nine days.
Senator McCarthy contended
most of the day that Schine’s
.chart was deliberately calculated
to give the television audience a
false impression that Schine had
: black marks against his record. He
said over and over again that the
same sort of symbols should have
been used in both charts to give
the audience a fair impression.
But three Army witnesses a
general, a colonel, and a lieuten
ant—testified they saw nothing
dishonest about the charts.
Lieutenant Colonel John Mur
ray testified that he had prepared
the charts. He stated there was no
intention to suggest that the black
•marks' on the Schine chart car
ried any sort of stigma.
Murray explained that the chart
for the average trainee looked :
whiter because it was a rush job ;

Grant Presented
For Driver Work
The University was presented
a grant of $5OOO by the Allstate
Insurance Company, to be used in
promoting the work in driver
training education.
Marion R. Trabue, dean of the
College of Education and direc
tor of summer sessions, who re
ceived the_ check at a luncheon
Friday, said the funds will be
used to provide scholarships for
teachers enrolling in the program
at the summer sessions. Priority
will be giv e n to teachers in
schools about to inaugurate work
in driver training, while teachers
now working in this field will
have second priority.
and there wasn’t time to prepare
it the-way the Schine chart had
been. But McCarthy wouldn’t.ac
cept that and said he was sorry
to see Murray covering up for the
real authors—something Murray
said he was not doing.
Another point in today’s hear
ing, Colonel Kenneth Belieu, tes
tified that Roy Cohn blew his top
because he was refused admit
tance to a secret radar lab at Fort
Monmouth, N.J., last October.
Belieu is aid to Secretary of the
Army Stevens.
Belieu repeated what. Army
counsel John Adams had pre
viously sworn to—that' Cohn de
clared: “This is war with the
Army.” Belieu quoted Cohn as
saying, also: “I don’t understand
why you let communists work in
here and won’t let me in. I have
access to FBI reports. We’re go
ing to investigate the heck out of
you now.”

Wade Withdrew
I In a statement to the Daily Cofe
'legian March 18 Wade said he
had declined to withdraw as a
candidate for All-University pres
ident in favor of Smoot. However,
he refuted his first statement that
night. Wade said he had been un
der considerable • pressure from
factions in both the State and
Lion parties to withdraw.
Wade’s resignation and later
withdrawal of his resignation oc
curred the same day as the
“Clean-Up Campus Politics”
meeting, chaired by Donald Her
bein, in the name of the senior
men’s hat societies.
Lyon said the meeting was ar
ranged by “Lion’s Paw and its
stooges to nominate a groomed
candidate-’(Smoot) and smear the
Lion Party’s choice (Jesse Arnelle,.
All-University President) while
he and others were out of town.”
At the time, Arnelle was travel
ing with the basketball team, tak
ing part in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association tournament.
Organizers Named
Lyon named Charles Gibbs,
eighth semester arts and letters
major; James Dunlap, eighth se
mester arts and letters major;, and
Herbein, eighth semester arts and
letters major, as the men who
had arranged for the meeting.
None of these three were mem
bers of Lion’s Paw.
The “clean-up” meeting died
when the tide of student feeling
at the meeting turned against the
sponsors and Wade’s resignation
failed to materialize.
Lyon said the Lion’s Paw rep
resentative had contacted John
Fink, State Party clique chairman.
Lyon said Fink told the party ex
ecutive committee about his meet
ing with the Lion’s Paw man but
would not reveal the name of the
person who had contacted him.
Fink Denies
Fink yesterday denied he had
been contacted by a member of
i Lion’s Paw in regard to Wade’s
. resignation. He said, however,
that once Wade had decided to
resign, “several persons” spoke
to him “about the possibilities of
having Smoot run.”
Lyon said Lion’s Paw tapped
Arnelle to “influence the vast
amount of political appointments
(160) made by the All-University
president, without which Lion’s
Paw has no power. They didn’t
want the man, but they had ,to
tap the office.”
“It is indeed ironic to see that
no matter which party wins the
election, it is really only Lion’s
Paw that wins. The students don’t
have a chance, only they don’t
know it,” Lyon said.
