Senate probe clash over secrecy and Hearst links
In Washington the Senate committee probing German propaganda had a sharp exchange as Senator Reed pressed Alfred L. Becker and Major E. Lowrey Humes about witnesses and the identity of informants. Becker refused to reveal names citing secrecy and ret service, while Reed challenged alleged political motives and publication of affidavits involving Hearst, Bol Pasha, and von Bernstorff. Humes defended the committee's handling, and Becker defended public disclosures as in the public interest. Colonel McCarthy returned from New Orleans to discuss army storage and deprivatization plans.
