By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON-Senators In-
vestigating the McCarthy-Penta-
gon row voted unanimously yes-
terday to subpoena all records of
the telephone calls involving key
figures in the increasingly bitter
dispute.
But Sen. ,McCarthy (R-Wis.)
blocked for the time being the
reading of an almost word-for-
word transcript of one call in
which McCarthy allegedly sug-
gested weekend leaves for Pvt.
G. David Schine "for the purpose
of taking care of Dave's girl
friends."
SECRETARY of the Army Stev-
ens testified under oath at the
first of the day's two televised ses-
sions that McCarthy made this
suggestion to him in a telepihone
conversation monitored and taken
down in shorthand by a Stevens
aide last Nov. 7.
Angrily, McCarthy cried it
was "indecent and dishonest" for
Stevens to recordla conversation
without the knowledge of the
person at the other end of the
line.
Stevens touched on another ma-
jor point before yielding the wit-
ness stand temporarily to his of-
fice assistant, Jack Lucas, a wor-
ried-looking man who said his
transcript of the McCarthy-Stev-
ens call was complete except for
a few words-maybe five, maybe
15-that he didn't cTtch.
THE ARMY secretary said he
met with McCarthy Nov. 6-the
day before the alleged call about
Schine's- affairs-and told the
senator he wanted the Army to
"carry out" an investigation start-
ed by the McCarthy subcommitte6
at Ft. Monmouth, N. J.
Stevens touched off the big
row of the day by telling of the
phone call in which he said Mc-
Carthy told him 1), maybe Schine
could have a few weekend leaves to
foster his heart attachments, and

Political Clubs
Plan eetings
Republicans and Democrats will
each have their day, Monday and
Tuesday respectively, to encourage
University students to partisan po-
litical activity.
Sponsored by the Department
of Political Science in conjunction
with the Young Republican and
Young Democrat clubs, a special
program in the morning and early
afternoon each day will consist ofj
a panel discussion and special
group meetings with party leaders
and student representatives from
other colleges and universities in
Michigan.
Important party leaders will be
on campus during the two days to
tell students how they can be-
come active in political party work
in an a ocational, but useful way.
Tim Richard, '57, a member of
the executive board of the YR's, is.
in charge of the Republican Day.
Persons interested in the GOP ac-
tivities may contact him.
Joyce Greenbaum, '56, of the
YD's is in charge of the Democrat
in debate over whether Commu-
nist China is an honorable big
power.
This move for a cease fire,l
known to have countrywide sup-!
port and strong Cabinet back-
ing, is the heart of the French
position. -France's delegation will
argue that case at the confer-
ence which begins Monday to de-<
cide whether peace can be ar-
ranged in Korea and Indochina.3
The French position is known to
run counter to at least a part of
the American delegation's ideas on
what should be done.c
