McClellan (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators John L. McClellan (Democrat, Arkansas); Henry M. Jackson (Democrat, Washington); Stuart Symington (Democrat, Missouri); Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (Democrat, North Carolina); Joseph R. McCarthy (Republican, Wisconsin); Karl E. Mundt (Republican, South Dakota); George H. Bender (Republican, Ohio). Present also: Robert F.

Tierney, investigator; Ruth Y. Watt, chief clerk. The Chairman. The committee will come to order. The Chair wishes to make a brief introductory statement as we open these hearings. The series of public hearings that this subcommittee begins today were scheduled by the chairman pursuant to action of approval taken by the subcommittee in executive session on last Friday, March 11. Senator Bender. I do not like to interrupt you, Mr. Chairman, but since we are working under these conditions - that is, in this boiler-shop environment, with the construction of the new building across the street - I am wondering if we could not move to new quarters which would be more satisfactory. The Chairman. May I say to the distinguished Senator that we will try to get better accommodations, but in view of the commitments for other quarters of other committees, we were unable to do so for today. So we will have to proceed under these unfavorable conditions today and we will undertake to find a more suitable committee room for other hearings. The purpose of these hearings is to inquire into all of the actions and circumstances attending the Department of the Army's handling of the induction, change in orders, promotion, and the honorable discharge of Dr. Irving Peress. The subcommittee shall undertake by proper evidence to establish for the record and for public information all of the true facts relating to the Department of the Army's action in these areas.
