Now  we  are  on  the  telephone  conversation  which  you  could  not
understand,  and  which  I  couldn't  understand.  Do  you  want  to  say
under  oath  that  you  feel  that  that  should  be  considered  as  an  indict-
ment of  Mr.  Carr,  on  the  8th  ?

Mr.  Adams.  I  felt  that  that  was  an  indication  to  me  that  if  I  didn't
get  up  there  Mr.  Carr's  eii'orts  to  assist — not  to  assist,  his  efi'orts  that
he  persisted  in  telling  me  that  he  was  undertaking  to  reduce  the  fire,
the  temper  which  Senator  McCarthy  was  expressing  against  the  Army,
would  cease.     You  just  don't  make  an  offer  like  that  for  nothing.
Senator  Mundt.  My  time  has  expired.  We  will  start  in  at  March
5  when  we  resume.
Senator  Jackson  ?

Senator  Jackson.  Mr.  Adams,  I  would  like  to  resume  the  previous
line  of  questioning,  and  I  would  like  to  invite  your  attention  to  para-
graph 25  on  page  12  of  the  bill  of  particulars  submitted  by  Mr.  Cohn,
Mr.  Carr,  and  Senator  McCarthy.
In  paragraph  25,  page  12  of  this  document  that  I  referred  to,  I
quote :

On  or  about  October  21,  1958,  Mr.  Adams  renewed  his  suggestion  that  the
subcommittee  conduct  an  investigation  of  the  Navy  and  Air  Force  and  drop  the
investigation  of  his  department.
Mr.  Adams,  is  that  allegation  true  or  false  ?
Mr.  Adams.  The  allegation  is  false.
Senator  Jackson.  Paragraph  26  on  page  13,  again  referring  to
the  same  document,  states,  and  I  quote :

On  or  about  November  6,  1058,  Mr.  Stevens  and  Mr.  Adams  suggested  that
the  Navy,  Air  Force,  and  Defense  Establishment  proper  would  be  appropriate
objects  of  investigation  instead  of  their  administration  of  the  Army,  and  Mr.
Adams  offered  to  supply  information  about  them.
