Take 20 Years To Get Truth Army Hearing Mundt Says
Washington June 21 Sen Mundt said the McCarthy Army controversy has emerged but the past cannot be fully unraveled. He warned the inquiry could run 20 years without revealing the last kernel of evidence. The Senate committee sat 36 days. Mundt planned a meeting to gauge agreement for the formal report. Special Counsel Ray Jenkins offered to help write the report as long as necessary. Jenkins hinted at possible Senate run and support from McCarthy or Secretary of the Army Stevens. Mundt predicted the panel would dismiss Hensel as a principal, with a severe rebuke to McCarthy, and noted Flanders’s alive resolution to strip McCarthy of chairmanships if contempt persists. The core charge remains improper pressure to aid Schine and alleged attempts to block a probe into Communists in the Army. affidavits from Schine and Hensel are in the record for possible submission. no vote yet due to McClellan and McCarthy absence. Jenkins weighed political plans. Flanders claimed McCarthy’s contempt based on unanswered 1952 questions about finances.
