McCarran Opposes 31 July Deadline for Crime Inquiry
Senator McCarran said the senate rules committee destroyed the effectiveness of a nationwide crime inquiry by imposing a July 31 deadline. He urged approval of a $50,000 inquiry into organized gambling and rackets without a time limit, noting the vast field cannot be covered by July 31. Kefauver seeks to remove the deadline amid partisan concerns.
