More Testimony Due In Army Fort Hearing
New York—(U.P.)—Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens teams up with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy today to hear more testimony about "security leaks" that may involve espionage at the Army's Fort Monmouth. N.J. radar laboratory.
Mr. Stevens sat in on a hearing of Sen. McCarthy's investigating subcommittee yesterday and said he was "intensely interested" in testimony that a civilian employee of the signal corps lab was a close associate of executed atom spy Julius Rosenbera.
The hearing, prompted by suspension of five civilian laboratory employees for "security reasons", resumes today at the U.S. courthouse in Manhattan.
The investigation took on added weight yesterday when Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson said in Washington he feared the Fort Montmouth case "might be more than a chance of success" for the first time that his department was conducting its own investigation at Fort Montmouth.
The interior department also announced yesterday it had suspended six employees, not identified, for "security reasons." There was no indication whether the suspensions were connected with the Fort Monmouth investigation.
Interior department agencies regulate supplies of many vital natural resources, and have charge of administration of the territories of Alaska and Hawaii.
Sen. McCarthy said in New York yesterday the Signal Corps radar investigation "definitely involves espionage." He said the subcommittee heard testimony that a sizeable number of army documents concerning radar had disappeared from Fort Monmouth and would be "extremely dangerous" to national security if they fell into enemy hands.

Washington —(UP)— The AFL Executive Council was called into special session today to authorize money and organizers for an all-out drive against the gangster-ridden International Longshoremen's association.
AFL to Fight Longshoremen Association
The federation recently expelled the association for failing to stamp out racketeering. It is now trying to bring the dockworkers into a new AFL-backed union.
A spokesman said the council would be asked at today's meeting to approve a "sizeable" fund for an intensive organizing drive at east coast, gulf, and Great Lakes ports.
The pressure will be on during the next few months because the

National Labor Relations Board is due to hold an election in the New York area to decide which union should represent the longshoremen.
The AFL already claims it has won over 30 per cent of the association's members but it will need a majority to win the election.
Sending organizers onto the docks could precipitate further violence in a dispute already pockmarked by
skimishies between longshoremen who remained with the expelled union and those who have moved over to the AFL.
The spokesman said the council's action today was expected to take some of the heat off two AFL unions now heavily engaged in the long-shoremen's fight—the Teamsters and the Seafarers' unions.
