Honorable weak label for Caudle rocked by House panel
A House judiciary subcommittee called former Atty. Gen. Caudle honorably motivated but weak as a government official and labeled him a scapegoat in his 1951 firing for outside activities. The panel, led by Chelf and Keating, found Caudle never sold himself for riches or power yet criticized the department’s decay. Rep.
