McCarthy Challenges Truman Espionage Claim Debated
In Washington Senator McCarthy condemned Democratic Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell for urging the grand jury path against Harry Dexter White amid claims Truman promoted a suspected Russian spy.

Gas price cuts followed as Baltimore distributors Sun Oil and Socony Vacuum trimmed wholesale gasoline prices by three-tenths of a cent due to oversupply, with retailers expected to mirror the move.
