Stop McCarthy Stevenson Wrist . Committee Report To Be Very Mild
A bipartisan Senate Investigations subcommittee likely to publish next week a report that McCarthy condoned pressure by Roy M. Cohn to gain favorable Army treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine. It may also fault Secretary Stevens for softness in handling McCarthy and Cohn, with McCarthy depicted as a bystander who could have stopped the push for Schine’s favors. The report is expected to find Stevens biased in dealing with subcommittee investigator turned private citizen John G. Adams, and to address access limits to information and related presidential orders.
