Brownell awaits Army probe of McCarthy charges
Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr said the Justice Department will not press its inquiry until the Army concludes its probe into how secret FBI information reached Senator Joseph R. McCarthy. He noted the Army has not located the officer who provided the data, calling that person the chief witness, and he questioned when the Army's work will finish. Brownell denied planning to target Democrats and insisted justice will reach anyone who violated the law, wherever found.
