After Roy Cohn and G. David Schine made their cyclonic 17-day tour of Europe last April (TIME, April 20), Cohn said the trip had cost Joe McCarthy's Senate Investigations Subcommittee "zero." Last week Foreign Operations Administrator Harold Stassen revealed that the U.S. Government paid out more than one zero, with numbers attached, for the junket. Stassen said McCarthymen Cohn & Schine drew $74 a day each for personal expenses during their travels. That brought the Cohn-Schine personal expense accounts to a total of $2,540, plus free air transportation that would have cost paying customers an estimated...

...Communist plays." In Bonn, Kaghan said that he was eager to explain to McCarthy and his committee. Moreover, he added, he had been engaged in anti-Soviet propaganda work in Europe "for more years than Senator McCarthy's two junketing gumshoes have been out of school." (Cohn and Schine are both 26 years old.) The Schnuffler telephoned Washington frequently, interviewed scores of anonymous Germans and Austrians, refused all social overtures of the press. Though reporters were startled, Cohn remained cool and collected when his wristwatch alarm went off in the midst of a Vienna press conference. By then...
