Indians Now On Warpath
Against Group Of Bills
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2#. <UJO—
A group of organised Indians went
on the warpath Friday in an op-
eration fer smoother than their
forebearers used In forays against
the while man.
The attack was against a group
of pending bills, enactment of
which would take away many
privileges and treaty rights In-
dians now enjoy. The weapons
were logical explanations, some
impMsioned pleading, and un-
mmambltcu.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. (U.B-*
Army Secretary Robert T. Stev-
ens was reported ‘‘Jubilant’’ Friday
over the “100 per cent” backing
President Eisenhower gave him in
his feud with Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy over treatment of Army
witnesses before the Wisconsin
Republican’s investigating com-
mittee.
However, this development did
little to settle the battle of words.
McCarthy lashed back with a
charge that Stevens had made a
"completely false” statement in
reporting he had received “assur-
ances” Wednesday from members
of McCarthy's investigating sub-
committee that they would not
permit "abuse” of officer witnesses
in the “future.”
Stevens remained silent on Mc-
Carthy’s latest charge. A high ad-
ministration source revealed the
embattled secretary feels he won
his fight late Thursday when Mr.
Eisenhower endorsed his declara-
tion “never to accede” to Army
officers being “browbeaten or hu-
miliated” by McCarthy.
Dramatic Climax
This pledge, which Stevens de-
livered from the While House,
came as a dramatic climax in the
•ecretary’s dispute with McCar-
thy.
It put a large dent in the “com-
plete accord” announced between
the two men only the day before.
It defeated the energetic maneu-
vering of Republican leaders to
prevent the feud from blowing up
lotions between McCarthy and the
White House
In charging that Stevens had
made a “completely false” state-
ment, McCarthy said the subcom-
mittee made “absolutely no con-
cessions’' at Wednesday’s meet-
ing. Togpromise not to abuse wit-
nesses in the future. McCarthy
said, would amount td admitting
they wene abused in the past.
Feels He Wen Victory
But it was learned that Stevens
feels the support of the President
will prompt other Republican
members of the subcommittee “not
to let McCarthy get away with
abusing officers.”
McCarthy also said Brig. Gen.
Ralph W. Z wicker, whose appear-
•nee before McCarthy two weeks
ago touchad off the explosion,
would be recalled for questioning
about his complaint to Stevens Of
treatment before the subcommit-
tee.
McCarthy told the Camp Kil-
mer, N. J., commander he was not
“fit” to wear the Army uniform
after Zwickcr refused, under or-
ders, to answer questions about
the promotion and honorable dis-
charge of MaJ. Irving Peress, New
York dentist labeled by McCarthy
as a “Fifth Amendment Commu-
nist.”
As a result of the Zwicker inci-
dent, Stevens told Army officers
not to appear before McCarthy’s
subcommittee and planned to ap-
pear himself in a showdown ses-
sion Thursday, but the memoran-
dum of understanding” reached
Wednesday wiped out the Thurs-
day hearing and Stevens lifted his
ban on officers’ testifying before
McCarthy.
Stevens *8 teaming Mad*
Stevens was reported, however,
to be “steaming mad” at interpre-
tations widely given the agree-
ment as a “surrender” by him to
McCarthy. He issued his statement
late Thursday after a two-hour
White House meeting declaring he
had “not receded at any time from
any of the principles upon which
I stand.”
“I shall never accede to the
abuse of Army personnel under

m
Banks From Destroying Records
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, Feb. I
26. CUJ9—A federal judge Friday j
extended for 90 days a temporary ,
injunction preventing two banks!
controlled by political boss George;
Parr from destroying their rec-1
ords. 1
Judge James V. Allred took the ;
action after a hearing that lasted I
only five minutes. The banks did 1
not contest the extension of the in-
junction.
Internal re /onue agents reported
that records of the Texas State
Bank at Alice and the San Diego
State Bank at San Diego have dis-
appeared almost under their noses.
Texas Rangers have been standing
guard outside the banks since the
temporary injunction was grant-
ed.
The injunction was asked by the
Internal Revenue Service. Parr,
who is ‘president of both banks,
was subpocned for Friday’s hear-
ing in Corpus Christ! along with
other bank officials.
However, no witnesses
called. An attorney for the rev-
enue service told Allred that
lawyers for both sides had agreed
banks as part of a slate and fed-1
eral investigation of virtually all
Pkrr’s activities.
Judge Allred’s
order said:
is . . . ordered that the above and I
foregoing order shall expire May'
28, 1954, unless further extended,'
by order of this court.”
