Stevens to Continue as Army Secretary
A high administration source says Robert Stevens will stay as secretary of the Army despite criticism over his clash with Senator McCarthy Wisconsin. The source notes advisers warned against a televised hearing and that delaying the hearing could have worsened Stevens's image. The row centers on Stevens demand for protections for Army witnesses from abusive treatment. McCarthy says he has no White House problems and notes differences with Stevens over allowing questions about Maj. Irving Peress. The outcome hinges on future probes and timing by McCarthy's subcommittee.
