Anti Morris Sentiment Grows Over Subpena Powers
Mounting Senate resentment toward Newbold Morris risks hindering his bid for subpena powers in the anti corruption drive. Morris criticized Republican critics during testimony before the permanent investigating committee on surplus tanker deals. Senators McClellan Nixon expressed doubt about his fitness to lead the payroll cleansing effort. Morris attacked McCarthy and others, calling McCarthy a terrier and condemning the chamber's atmosphere. He weighs a lecture tour to highlight what he calls a vile atmosphere in hearings. Bills seek subpena and immunity powers. House and Senate committees consider action after tanker inquiry.
