The Senator from Utah told McCarthy that Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens furnished a list of 30 names, "beginning with a general" to the Army-McCarthy investigation last spring and asked that the document be kept confidential.
The list "contained all the names of those who had anything to do with" the promotion and honorable discharge of former Maj. Irving Peress, a dentist whom Sec. McCarthy has called a "fifth Amendment Communist," Sen. Watkins said.
He gave the testimony at a public hearing before Sen. McCarthy's investigating subcommittee. The hearing first was scheduled to be opened at 10 a.m. CST. Then it was re-scheduled at a closed session at 11 a.m. and then finally opened to the public.

officers available.
But Sen. McCarthy retorted,
"we're wasting time," and said the
list was not what he wanted.
Mr. Watkins said that if he might give some "advice from an older man." Sen. McCarthy should question the 30 persons on the list in closed session in an attempt to find out who was responsible.
He told Sen. McCarthy that if he would follow this "reasonable procedure," it would "help a lot in pinpointing who was responsible."
Sen. Watkins suggested that if the Wisconsin senator did not want to follow this procedure he turn over the list to the Internal Security subcommittee, of which Watkins is a member and "jet our committee proceed."
