McCarthy Wins Point in Fight on FBI Letter
Senator McCarthy won a procedural point in his bid to admit the FBI letter into evidence at the censure hearing as Senate investigators ruled the document secret. The six member committee, deferring to Attorney General Brownell, said the 21 page document must not be released publicly while McCarthy pressed to study it himself. The session focused on McCarthy's dispute with Brig. Gen. Ralph Zwicker over questioning in a closed hearing. He defended his statements as aimed at uncovering the truth and denied abusive remarks, saying Zwicker was arbitrary and evasive.
