Stand Fast in Walkout in McCarthy Panel Fight
Three Democratic senators refused to serve on Senator McCarthy's investigations committee, triggering a walkout criticized by a Republican as a possible magic formula to stop all Congress work. Matthews claimed 7,000 Protestant clergymen back the Communist apparatus, with names of Catholic priests and Jewish rabbis, though he cited Protestants in his magazine piece. McCarthy announced accepting resignations of Symington, McClean, and Henry Jackson, while Mundt urged Democrats to reconsider and warned against setting a precedent of halting committee work by walking out.
