GOP Demands Wider Probe On Amerasia
Twenty one Republican senators urged a broad Senate inquiry into the Justice Department role in the Amerasia secret documents case from World War II. Sen. Tydings urged patience for his subcommittee’s current probe, while Sen. Capehart blocked the move. Leader Lucas warned against multiple investigations, and Ferguson pressed for Judiciary Committee focus on the case. The dispute centers on why some defendants faced light penalties for restricted documents and loyalty questions in wartime.
