McCarthy Defends Lustron Payments Amid Senate Probe
In a Senate hearing, McCarthy acknowledged a $10,000 Lustron payment but called the arrangement proper and a public service. Strandlund said relations were not close and first met him in 1948 at a race track. Evidence showed letters between the Senate Investigations Subcommittee and the RFC over Lustron loans before bankruptcy. Detours include Benton among the crowd. Gillette lamented McCarthy’s absence. A separate Detroit report noted a potential strike by 200 ships officers was averted as federal mediation began, with a mediator to be sent to lead talks.

McCarthy Inquiry Expands On Lustron Loans and Wisconsin Ties
The Senate subcommittee pressed further into McCarthy's finances tied to Lustron loans and questioned the relevance of his financial affairs to the inquiry. Witnesses described $10,000 from Ray Kiermas used for loans totaling about $72,943 at Appleton Bank and suggested possible kickback concerns. Strandlund noted the Lustron article’s value partly due to McCarthy's role as housing committee vice chairman, while Benton urged broader examination of McCarthy’s pre Senate conduct, including Wisconsin cases and alleged divorce mill actions.
