Adams Admits Pleased by Possibility in McCarthy Probe
Army counselor John G. Adams testified on the McCarthy Army hearings that the Army had no desire to halt the Ft. Monmouth investigation though he said he was pleased by the prospect of a suspension last fall. He denied trading favors for Pvt. G. David Schine or attempting to appease Senator McCarthy. He said any special consideration for Schine came from the subcommittee portraying him as essential to its work and that any favor for McCarthy was to avoid open hostility. Adams faced cross-examination by Ray H. Jenkins who pressed for a yes or no on ending the investigation, and Adams indicated the answer was negative. He noted previous remarks about Roy Cohn's anger and stressed his concern was about prolonging the inquiry, not admitting to an end.
