Winston Churchill
Knighted By Queen
WINDSOR, Eng. (IP) Queen Elizabeth II today for
mally invested her first minister Prime Minister Win
stpn with the Order of the Garter the
highest personal honor a British monarch can bestow.
In a private investiture ceremony
in the throne room of ancient
Windsor Castle, the young Queen
handed Churchill the golden Insig
nia of the Order of the Garter and
personally buckled below his left
knee the blue velvet symbol of the
order. She pinned to his chest the
star of the garter and hung around
his neck the golden collar. '
Then two fellow knights draped
his shoulders with the blue mantle
of the garter.
King Arthur’s Knights
This afternoon, Churchill and his
fellow knights will file in glittering
procession to St. George's Chapel
whefe the Queen utters the tradi
tional words, “It is our will and
pleasure that Sir Winston be in
stalled.”
Churchill then will take his in
tricately-carved seat in the chapel
choir and so be formally installed
in the order, a brotherhood of chiv
alry Inspired by King Arthur and
the Knights of the Round Table.
The Queen bestowed these hon
ors on Churchill a year ago and he
wore the decorations at her ooro
nation. Today’s formal ceremonies
set the seal on his garter knight
hood.
Centuries of history go with the
golden collar and the blue velvet
garter that place Churchill among
the little band who are “dearly be
loved" by the Queen. Membership
in the 606-year-old Most Noble Or
der of the Garter is limited to 26
knights.

Carr Disputes
Testimony Os
Army Secretary
WASHINGTON HP)
Francis P. Carr testified to
day that Army Secretary
Robert T. Stevens proposed
last Oct. 2 to use Pvt. G. Da
vid Schine as his personal
observer in Army intelli
gence schools.
Carr also testified that Stevens
suggested on Nov. 6 that Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy forget the Army
and start investigating the Air
Force and the Navy.
Carr, staff director for McCar
thy’s "Senate investigating subcom
mittee, replaced McCarthy in the
witness chair at the Army-McCar
thy hearings to give the Wisconsin
Republican time to rest from a
weekend speaking trip to the mid
west.
Carr also said;
1. That while their plane was ap
proaching Ft. Dix, N. J., last No
vember he heard Stevens say
“something like, ‘Now will be a
good time to get that picture with
Dave’.” Stevens has denied asking
ito have his picture taken with
Schine; the private said Stevens
did ask.
CALLED SCHINE HOSTAGE
2. Army counselor John G.
Adams referred consistently to
Schine as a ‘ hostage.”
3. Roy M. Cohn told Carr that
Adams was "trying to trade us in
formation about some homosex.
uals in the Air Force for informa
tion about our next investigation."
Perspiring freely under the klieg
lights, the chunky Carr told of ac
companying Cohn, McCarthy sub
. committee counsel, to a conference
at Stevens’ office Oct. 2. They dls
enssed other subjects, Carr related
but the subject of Schine also
came up.
Take Care of Schine
It was his recollection that Stev
ens was the first to mention Schine
then the unpaid chief consultant
to the subcommittee. Schine later
was drafted, on Nov. 3, and the Ar
my has not given him any special
assignment.
The Army has charged McCarthy
Cohn and Carr with using improp
er influence in an effort to get
special treatment for Schine. The ■
