Senate Silent Over Canadian Protest
Washington sources say a Canadian government protest prompted letters between the State Department and the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. The panel, led by Chairman Pat McCarran, will not discuss the exchange while pursuing charges that the Institute of Pacific Relations shaped U.S. policy with Communist influence. The dispute centers on testimony naming Herbert Norman, Canada’s UN delegation head, as a former student at a Cape Cod Communist school in 1939, which Ottawa says is false. Norman has been cleared and has served in Tokyo.
