Appalling Problems On Control Of New H-Bomb

McCarthy Defies Critics in Midwest Firebrand Tour
In Chicago a Senate committee chief McCarthy challenged critics from Eisenhower to Democrats who oppose his anti communist probes. He vowed to continue the fight, saying he does not care if party leaders disapprove. He defended his methods, pressed for more disclosures, and pledged four speeches across the Midwest with stops in Milwaukee and Oklahoma City. He also taunted Army Secretary Stevens, saying he might have to finish the fight.

Wilson Calls Military Lax Endorses Draft Law Change
Defense Secretary Charles E Wilson urged the Senate Armed Services Committee to back a tough amendment to the draft law denying commissions to doctors and dentists who refuse to state if they are Communists. He warned laxity in enforcing loyalty directives endangers the officer corps as the committee probes Reds in uniform. The plan follows Maj. Irving Peress’s case after she invoked the Fifth Amendment. President Eisenhower said Stevens may have been misinformed, while McCarthy warned the President’s stance reflects his position.
