Shortly before 1 o'clock one morning in early August, U.S. Army Sergeant Dale McCuistion, 27, driving through the streets of Izmir, Turkey, headquarters of NATO land forces in southeastern Europe, was crowded over to the curb. Men in plain clothes poured out of an unmarked civilian car and a Jeep, yanked McCuistion out of his station wagon. Convinced that he was about to be robbed, McCuistion put up a fight, but was soon overpowered and hustled off to a dungeonlike room underneath an old stable...
According to the story McCuistion later told his superiors, an English-speaking Turk, later identified as an agent of the Turkish Finance Ministry, charged McCuistion with black-market purchases of Turkish lire. When McCuistion denied the charge, five Turks began to work him over. For 18 hours he went without water, food or sleep while his captors questioned and "beat me unmercifully. They rabbit-punched me from behind and kicked me. I was afraid they would kill...
...Turkish Custom. Early the following morning, while McCuistion was still being held incommunicado, Turkish police picked up U.S. Air Force Sergeant Giacomo Recevuto, of Brooklyn. And that afternoon Izmir Police Chief Nevzat Emrealp informed NATO authorities that he wanted to have "a little talk" about currency black-marketing with two other U.S. sergeants, James D. King of Ruth, Miss, and Joseph Proietti of Mt. Kisco, N.Y.

Ignoring Wendell Willkie, Chairman Dies applied himself to the wobbly reputation of C. I. O.'s National Maritime Union. A burly, tattooed, gap-toothed ex-Communist and ousted union official, William C. McCuistion, testified that 28 N. M. U. officers (including President Joe Curran) were Communists, that 93% of the 40,000 members were deluded nonCommunists. Witness McCuistion's mother, crinkled Mrs. Dolly Crawford, declared that Joe Curran once told her just how Communists would take over the U. S. by passive infiltration into unions, Federal offices, etc. On the same day that Mrs. Crawford testified, Joe Curran...
...Curran and the red-faced rage of Martin Dies, New Orleans police asked Washington police to hold Witness McCuistion, charging that he had had a hand in beating and shooting to death a Curranite last September. Chairman Dies roared that it was a dirty union trick, called upon the U. S. Department of Justice to protect Witness McCuistion. The suggestion that New Orleans police had worked hand-in-hand with a C. I. O. union to discredit the committee amused profane, posy-wearing Chief of Detectives Johnnie Grosch. In New Orleans, he recalled his prowess at hounding...
