McCarthy Tells Of ‘Disagreement’ With Cohn WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy said today he and Roy M. Cohn “disagreed” on trying to get Pvt. G. David Schine away from his Army duties and "I thought Roy was wrong." McCarthy said, however, that he did not actually feel Cohn was "unreasonable," although he used that word to describe Cohn's attitude in a telephone talk with Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens. The cross-examination of McCarthy was interruped dramatically by Sen. Ralph E. Flanders (RVt) who handed McCarthy a message informing him he intended to make another Senate speech today attacking McCarthy. Flanders, in a Senate speech two weeks ago, compared McCarthy to Adolf Hiter. McCarthy again challenged Flanders to testify under oath at The sheriff's office also said a thermos jug and some food had been found with the valise. Mounted deputies, using 50 blood-hounds, immediately took off across the desert in search of the kidnapper of Mrs. Smith. The sheriff's office spokesman said footprints had been spotted and were being traced, although it was uncertain who had made them. Florence Junction is about 50 miles east of here. Footprints about four miles off Highway 60-70 between Florence and Apache Junction also were being followed in one of the most intense manhunts in Arizona history. Special FBI agents, mounted posse members, the Arizona Highway Patrol and radio-equipped squad cars stationed in the search area took part.

Flanders (RVt) who handed McCarthy a message informing him he intended to make another Senate speech today attacking McCarthy. Flanders, in a Senate speech two weeks ago, compared McCarthy to Adolf Hiter. McCarthy again challenged Flanders to testify under oath at the Army McCarthy hearings. Contradicts Adams In the 32nd day of the hearings, McCarthy testified: 1. Army counselor John G. Adams did not complain to him about "abuse" from Cohn in Schine's behalf. This contradicted Adams' sworn testimony about a Dec. 9 conversation with McCarthy. 2. Schine was not indispensable to the subcommittee, but his group dropped two proposed investigations, of the movie and press sections of the U.S. Information Service, because of his departure for Army duty. 3. Stevens never asked him to call off the subcommittee's Fort Monmouth, N.J., hearings. Reminded that Stevens had testified that he did make such a request, McCarthy said "the secretary has proven he has a very, very bad memory."

An additional $500,000 is expected from a Hill-Burton federal hospital grant sometime in August. The need for the hospital has been established with Hill-Burton administrators, and the St. Jude priority is high on the Hill-Burton list. The successful completion of the drive has been under the leadership of Stonehouse, who has neglected his other interests in order to devote full time to the drive. Stonehouse stated that the campaign goal has been accomplished through the cooperative efforts of the petroleum industry, manufacturing, the medical profession, service and church organizations, and individual public subscriptions which include large-scale fund drives in Fullerton, Placentia, La Habra, Anaheim, Buena Park, Yorba Linda and Brea. Among those sending congratulations to Stonehouse was Oscar Schultz, president of the Mother Colony Hospital Association of Anaheim.

These and other startling revelations were told Anaheim city officials, civic and business leaders and county officials last night as top Disneyland executives discussed the fabulous project soon to be built in south Anaheim. The occasion was the regular monthly meeting of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Board of directors at the Anaheim Elks club. C. V. Wood, vice-president and general manager of Disneyland, told awed guests of the gigantic land of "yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy" that Walt Disney, famed cartoon creator, plans to build in Anaheim. As a member of the group that made the original search for the "best location money can buy" for the project, Wood told guests how the search which alone cost Disney $15,000, gradually narrowed down to a five mile radius around Anaheim, and how the present site—west of Herbor boulevard, east of West St. and straddling Cerritos—was picked and purchased with the cooperation of 15 property owners in the area. Work to Start Wood said first work on the project was slated to get under way by June 17 — next Thursday — when some of the trees on the site would be removed. Completion of the wonderland is scheduled for July 1955. Idea for the project was first evidenced by Disney, Wood said, in 1939, when he purchased land in Los Angeles county for his studio and set aside 10 acres of the property for an idea he called "Disneyland." Since that time Disney has been planning the project although the first active work toward the development was not started until about 10 years ago when his plans began to take shape. Now plans for the amazing development call for a river containing seven million gallons of water to be constructed to float a Mississippi sternwheeler steam boat that will make regular trips with passengers up and down the river. Along the river will be constructed replicas of such historical spots as Mt. Vernon, and others.
