McCarthy said Wednesday night he tried to tell President Eisenhower his side in the angry Army- McCarthy row before it “ex ploded” publicly but failed to get a White House ap pointment. The Wisconsin Republican told reporte-s he tried to arrange the appointment because he thought the President “was not getting all the facts, and before we had a spectacle here, he should get my version." The White House declined com ment on McCarthy's disclosure. McCarthv said sometime between Jan. 22 and Feb. 24 he asked Victor A. Johnson, director of the Senate OOP Campaign Committee, to seek the appointment through MaJ.Gen. Wilton B. (Jerry) Persons, the President's liaison man with Con gress. “Jerry, whom I like a lot, hasn't called back.” McCarthy said. Net A Snub But McCarthy said he did not consider this a snub since the President is “a busy man." He said he could not remember the exact date he sought the appoint ment. but said It was “well before this thing exploded." McCarthy, meanwhile, said he was “at a loss” to decide whether to go ahead with tba Army-Mc- Carthy hearings bemuse. ol pressential order forblddlnßJflßTOk’ monjr.. gbout a high layel JgßjplP . last Jg875l qn He would not give a flat yes or no on whether he and his staff will boycott the stormy hearings which are to resume Monday.' But McCarthy said the President’s se crecy order was “completely un fair to my staff,” and said I» Eisenhower was “making a gwve mistake.” “I can’t understand someone say ing in one breath, ’I want all the facts on the table. I want the in vestigation to continue,’ and in the next breath saying, ‘I will not let the facts come out,” McCarthy told reporters.
