Zwicker Faces Senate Investigators Again
Washington—(U.P.)—Brig. Gen. Ralph W. Zwicker was summoned before Senate investigators today for another round of questioning on the Peress case. This time he could tell all.
It was his refusal 13 months ago to say who ordered an honorable discharge for Maj. Irving Peress that helped lead to a public airing of the controversial Army-McCarthy dispute. Peress had refused to tell Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.), then chairman of the Senate. Investigating subcommittee, whether he was a Communist.
Sen. McCarthy branded Zwicker as unfit to wear the Army uniform for refusing to discuss who was responsible for the Peresh discharge. But Zwicker said presidential directives and Army regulations forbade him to do so.
For the new investigation, however, those wraps are off. The Army has since released a full
Heart Disease Study Approved
Research in the synthesis of compounds of possible use in the treatment of hypertension and other heart diseases will be conducted at the University with a $7,128 grant from the National Heart institute, a division of the U.S. Public Health service.
Dr. Joseph H. Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, is director. Research associate for the coming year will be Henry Cecil Caldwell Jr., a doctoral degree candidate from Walnut Grove, Miss, and Dale Robert Dill of Yates Center. Dill, a senior, will begin graduate work on the project.
Dr. Burckhalter said that during the past year several compounds were made. These will be sent to an independent laboratory for analysis to be checked against the chemical results of the KU researchers. The next step would be to make arrangements for biological testing of the drugs. However, the work here will continue to be the synthesis of new drugs.
A member of the faculty since 1947, Dr. Burckhalter has synthesized drugs of proven medicinal use for amoebacidal dysentery and malaria. His research is sponsored both by government and commercial firms. ___

As a prelude to Zwicker's testimony, the investigators were to hear Lt. Gen. Walter L. Weible, deputy Army chief of staff, who along with Army counsellor John G. Adams made the final decision to give Peress his requested discharge in the face of McCarthy's demand that the major be court-martialed.
Grendel Is Coming!—Adv.
Members of the investigating subcommittee yesterday criticized three generals who made up the Army personnel board that recommended a discharge for Peres. Sen. Karl Mundt (R-S.D.) said the board operated in a "haphazer .. picnic-lunch atmosphere." Its members admitted keeping no formal notes and failing to clarify among themselves when the discharge should become effective.
