Mundt Demands Names Of British Ships Alleged To Carry Troops
Sen Mundt says the Eisenhower administration should reveal the names of British ships alleged to have transported Chinese Communist troops along the China Coast. Sen McClellan backs canceling the secrecy order, while Sen McCarthy notes the order came from a government agency. The subcommittee discussed a demand to publicly state views on the issue, with testimony tying Wheelock Maiden Co. to at least one troop transport and Britain seeking a transcript. Magnuson criticized Britain for trade with enemies as London avoided specifics on the unidentified ships and tonnage.
