McCarthy Aide Denies Earlier Testimony In Army Hearings
Francis P Carr testified that Army officials tied talk of special treatment for Pvt. G David Schine to halting McCarthy probes of Reds in the Army. He disputed Adams and Stevens accounts of threats by Roy Cohn and said Schine worked under McCarthy’s supervision and spent time in New York on subcommittee business. Carr cited multiple instances where officials allegedly sidetracked the inquiry with promises of favorable treatment. He also questioned McCarthy’s removal from a car and noted Schine’s hotel dinner with Cohn and two women.
