Democrats Veto Short Hearings on Army Row
Democrats and Army officials oppose a Republican plan to shorten the McCarthy Army testimony by moving Sen. McCarthy to testify Monday. Sen. Dirksen backed by Sen. Bridges aims to replace Secretary Stevens on the stand and allow later closed testimony from Roy M. McCarthy and John G. Adams as part of the ongoing hearings. Senate subcommittee Republicans reportedly back the plan, while Chairman Mundt had not been approached. Democrats call it an attempt to end a televised spectacle damaging to the GOP.
