Fan Mail Surges In Army McCarthy Hearings
Public reaction to the Army McCarthy hearings surges with heavy mail and telegraph responses to Senate subcommittee members. Mundt reports 4 000 to 5 000 letters daily plus 200 telegrams while McCarthy’s office estimates up to 10 000 pieces daily. The wave follows Symington Stevens disclosures and McCarthy attacks on Fisher and Welch.
