Full Probe Of Clark's Activities Is Demanded
Rep Hillings urged a full inquiry into the Justice Department during Tom Clark’s 12 years in the agency and his later tenure on the Supreme Court.

The investigation centers on Clark’s period as attorney general 1937 to 1949 and related actions by Caudle, fired in 1951 for outside activities.
