This would not be a bad thing, were the hearings merely the squabble over Private Schine to which McCarthy has referred. But they are of far greater importance. Charges on both sides range from blackmail to flagrant misuse of authority. To these, the hearings have added the possible charge of perjury. And beneath these questions lie the broad issues of Congressional investigations and the Army's security program...
