Troxal to testify at Senate subcommittee on Far East affairs
The article notes Dr. Troxal reporting to the United Nations and appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee to answer charges by Senator Joseph R. McCurtis. He said a substitute speaker might be hard to obtain but efforts were underway to secure a Far Eastern affairs speaker.
