McCarthy Demands Amerasia Testimony Be Made Public
Senator McCarthy accuses and challenges Senate investigators to reveal the secret Amerasia testimony from Emmanuel Larsen. He claims the records will show who is telling the truth in a clash with Deputy Undersecretary John Peurifoy over Larsen’s statements and possible leverage for favorable testimony. The inquiry remains largely closed as chairman Tydings resists partial release to avoid distorting the case.
