Mr Wilson said he believed Senator McCarthy's counter-charge that the Secretary of the Army, Mr Robert Stevens, sought to have the investigation of alleged Communism switched from the Army to other branches of the services "was never a proper one.”
"It is my opinion that the charge was never a proper one and that it was never so," Mr Wilson told the Senate Armed Services Committee at a public hearing.
Mr Wilson had previously told the Committee that the Armed services were not "coddling Communists" a charge McCarthy has made repeatedly and that he had “absolute and complete confidence" in Mr Stevens.
Senator Estes Kefauvor asked whether Mr Wilson regarded the Army report
* truthful.
"I certainly would," Mr Wilson replied.
Mr Wilson also told the Senators he had confidence in John G. Adams, Army Counsel, "as far as I know" about him.-- Reuter.
