Witnesses Claim Voice Of America Held Hebrew Broadcasts
Two Voice officials testified before Sen. McCarthy's subcommittee that the State Department ordered suspension of Hebrew language VOA broadcasts just as Soviet anti Semitic campaigns intensified. Gerald Dooher and Dr Sidney Glazer said the directive was signed by Red Harris and later rescinded by Wilson Compton. Glazer noted VOA used broadcasts to Israel and other Jewish communities, while Compton said action remained under review. Details followed an executive session with Raymond Gram Swing's testimony.

Halleck vows tax relief in time at Lincoln Day dinner
House majority leader Charles A. Halleck told a Charlotte Lincoln Day audience that tax reduction will come in good time after Congress assesses minimum spending obligations. He urged Southern Democrats to join the Republicans, praised the 7th Fleet move from Formosa, and criticized ongoing wage and price controls and civil service "deadwood" in a push for fiscal reform and freer enterprise. He argued Taft Hartley Act needs a fair test and blamed the Truman administration for stalling its operation.
