In Washington Senator McCarthy pressed his probe into Army Communists as Army doctor Private Marvin S. Belsky refused to say if he is or was a Communist. Belsky, at Murphy General Hospital in Waltham Mass, argued the subcommittee had no jurisdiction over him as a soldier. McCarthy cited President Eisenhower urging witnesses to testify unless security is endangered. The session began with plans for a closed hearing and later public questioning on alleged spying at Nutley New Jersey. Meanwhile Friendship Fire Company holds its regular meeting March 4 at 8 pm with important business and refreshments, urged attendance by Captain R S Ryan.
