Senator McCarthy further said he hoped nothing would occur to stop the ordinary processes of the draft procedures in Schine's case . . ..
On the next occasion when Secretary Stevens, Senator McCarthy and Mr. Adams were together, which was within a very few days, Mr. Adams raised the subject of Mr. Schine. Senator McCarthy told Secretary Stevens and Mr. Adams that Mr. Schine was a nuisance, but that Senator McCarthy did not want Mr. Cohn to know of these views on Mr. Schine.
OCTOBER 18—NOVEMBER 3
During this two-week period, Mr. Cohn and Mr. Adams spoke in person or on the telephone almost every day concerning an assignment for Private Schine in the New York City area . . .
It was on these occasions that Mr. Adams first stated that the national interest required that no preferential treatment be given to Mr. Schine . . . Mr. Cohn replied that if national interest was what the Army wanted he'd give it a little and then proceeded to outline how he would expose the Army in its worst light and show the country how shabbily it is being run.
NOVEMBER 3
Mr. Schine was inducted into the Army and was placed on 15 days' temporary duty in New York to complete committee work. The day following, Senator McCarthy said to Mr. Adams that members of the press and others might ask why Private Schine was still in New York. Senator McCarthy requested Mr. Adams to have the temporary duty in New York canceled . . .
NOVEMBER 6
At the invitation of the Secretary of the Army, a luncheon attended by the Secretary, Mr. Adams, Senator McCarthy, Francis Carr and Mr. Cohn was held in the Pentagon. The principal subject of discussion at the luncheon was the Fort Monmouth investigation. During the course of the luncheon, however, Mr. Cohn asked when the Army would be able to arrange for a New York City assignment for Private Schine. Senator McCarthy also stated that he was interested in Private Schine's receiving a New York City assignment and suggested that Schine might be sent to New York with the assignment of studying and reporting to the Secretary on evidence of pro-Communist leanings in West Point textbooks.
Mr. Cohn also requested that Private Schine be made available for committee work while he was undergoing basic training at Fort Dix. Mr. Stevens said that, if necessary to complete pending committee work, Private Schine would be permitted to leave the post on weekends [and] in the evening . . . Normally, said the Army, soldiers in their first four weeks of basic training at Fort Dix are not permitted to leave the post in the evenings nor are they given weekend passes. This rule is a local one and is subject to modification . . .
