Death ends Joe McCarthy era in American politics
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin died in Bethesda Maryland at age 47 after an acute liver inflammation. The death shifts the Senate balance to 46 Republicans and 49 Democrats, with a likely special election this fall. McCarthy rose as an anti communist figure in the early 1950s, clashing with the Army in a famous televised probe. Presidents Eisenhower and Truman offered condolences, while others recalled his fierce advocacy and controversial career. Funeral plans include a Roman Catholic Mass in Washington before a private interment in Appleton Wisconsin.
