WASHINGTON
Senator
McCarthy
today
said
he
has
"persistent
reports,
tips
and
rumors"
that
the
army
Is
shadowing
his
staff
and
witnesses
in
his
controversy
with
high
army
officials.
Backed
In

by
Roy
M.

sub-committee,
the
Wisconsin
Republican
senator
said
in
an
Interview
in
advance
of
today's
televised
hearings
Into
the
row
that
he
wants
the
subcommittee,
which
he
has
stepped
off
temporarily,
to
find
out
whether
these
rumors
are
true.
They
were
discounted
by
two
of
the
army
principals
in
the
case.
Pte.
a.
David
Schine,
former
McCarthy
aide
about
whom
has
swirled
the
raging
dispute
was
recalled
to
the
witness
chair
He
was
called
to
testify
now
only
about
a
photograph
of
him
and
Stevens,
Introduced
at
the
hearings
earlier.
The
McCarthy
side
contended
that
this
photograph
helped
back
up
Its
claim
that
Stevens
was
friendly
with
Schine
at
the
very
time
that
Stevens
now
says
McCarthy
and
his
aides
were
improperly
putting
pressure
on
him
in
Schine's
behalf.
McCarthy
and
Cohn
in
turn
have
accused
Stevens
and
his
aides
of
seeking
to
get
the
senator's
sub-committee
to
halt
or
divert
a
search
for
subversives
in
the
army.
There
have
been
denials
on
both
sides.
7he
army
contends
that
the
Stevens-Sthlne
photo
was
"doctored"
by
removing
at
least
one
person
originally
in
the
picture.
Schine
said
that
was
true,'
but
