Army Doctor Hides Behind Constitution in McCarthy Probe
An Army Doctor at Murphy Army General Hospital in Massachusetts invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering if he is a Communist or if his Army commission was blocked for loyalty form refusals. He also deflected questions on orders to testify and whether he joined the Communist Party. Senator McCarthy pressed for truth as Eisenhower aides weighed in with caution. Meanwhile GOP Chairman Hall sought to bridge rifts, and McCarthy claimed no feud with the President.
