Adversaries over Army Report -- Army legal adviser John G. Adams, left, and Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis), shown entering New York's federal building together last October, were on opposite sides of the fence today. Sen. McCarthy cried "blackmail" today at the army report that he and his chief counsel, Roy Cohn, applied pressure for special treatment of a drafted aide, David Schine. The senator said Adams had told him the army report would be released unless Sen. McCarthy's subcommittee halted its investigation of the army.
