Democratic test in Army McCarthy hearings raised by Edson
Washington diary notes the Army McCarthy proceedings as a democratic stress test. It argues the probe has escalated beyond a simple clash over Schine to charges against Eisenhower Browner and Hoover, with a chaotic, conflicted trial structure involving McCarthy Jenkins Cohn Adams Mundt. It suggests President Eisenhower should quell the scandal by dismissing charges and refocusing on governance. Also reports a Willing Workers meeting in Winchester Street led by Frances Long with readings and music.
