Service for McCarthy To Be Held in Senate
Funeral services for Senator Joseph R. McCarthy will be held Monday in the U S Senate chamber. The Wisconsin Republican died Thursday night at Bethesda Naval Hospital from acute liver inflammation, at age 48. His death reduces Senate Republicans to 46 seats as a special Wisconsin election is expected this fall. The chamber service follows a long public feud over McCarthyism and his anti Communist crusade. Leaders from both parties expressed sorrow while calling for reflection on his career and legacy.
