Democratic Senators Deny McCarthy Soviet Walkout Charge
Three Democratic senators John L. McClellan Henry M. Jackson and Stuart Symington rejected McCarthy's claim they staged a Soviet style walkout from his permanent Investigating subcommittee. They called the accusation false saying their resignations were a protest against McCarthy's one man rule. McCarthy cited re election plans and compared them to Molotov style walkouts as he spoke on Meet the Press. Monroney disputed McCarthy calling his investigators Keystone cops and vowed to seek Senate rule changes to curb investigations.

Washington officials expressed cautious optimism for an early Korean truce after the Communists proposed resuming armistice talks. While they anticipated a possible end to the three year war within days, they warned that administrative issues and translation of treaty texts into English Korean and Chinese could delay a signed agreement.
