So that was the Wh te House meeting - which, apparently, launched the Army report that started the public rumpus. ~Counsellor AdBIDB, today, made the most strllng and definite acouaat1ons thus far. He repeated, in positive terms, the charge .that Roy Cohn~ threatened to "wreck the army" and have Army Secretary Stevens ousted from hls , Adams de scribed a str.ange sc ene - and it sounded mighty s tran e.

EISENHCMER MCCARTHY re 1 nt E enhowr, ay, expressed his opinion of the Army Intelli en c e offi c er, who, ill allegedly, gave secret FBI 1nformat on to Senator McCarthy. The President calling it - in ubordination, and reprehensible. Senator McCarthy says tha officer did it - because he felt the army was not acting on the FBI information about Communists. The President retorts that, in such a caae. the officer could have made a protest at the inspector General'• office. We hear the Army is investigating, trying to t1Jid the culprit. Probably he'd be liable to court-martial, for passing secret FBI information along to a Senator. Today, President Eisenhower de~lared that the AJ'llt 1s perfectly capable or digging out any security risks in its own ranks. )fut - an occasional inquiry from congreaa , could be useful. The President quoted an old army saying: "That which 1s not inspected ~ deteriorates.") WISCONSIN Senator McCarthy is famous for the trouble he - start, or gets into.

The music - no, not hearts and flowers, Mike. Liver and onions - I mean - liver and flowersl
