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.

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 PANEL DISCUSSION: Culture, Politics Viewed Geographical, cultural and po- 1 litical problems of Indochina were learned.
