St. Clair Hits Probes At H.Y.D.C. Meeting

James D. St. Clair LL.B. '47, the Army's assistant counsel in the McCarthy hearings this spring, told the Young Democrats last night that Congress should keep clear of the President's powers.

In this implied slap at McCarthy, St. Clair said that "the Defense Department had the better method of exposing security risks." The Senators should limit their investigations, to those that are actual bases for law-making, he added.

He criticized the President's "Gag Rule" as hampering the Army's case.
