Senate passes amended McCarran bill with internment plan
Washington notes the Senate voted 70 to approve a strengthened McCarran bill adding compulsory registration of Communists and allowing concentration camps if invasion or insurrection occurs. The plan drew White House concern over civil rights and doubts about catching Reds, as president’s stance remained unclear. The measure moves to the House for action amid conferees to resolve differences with a similar House bill lacking the camp provision.

President Truman dismissed Louis A. Johnson from the Defense post and asked General George C Marshall to become Secretary of Defense. Marshall, 69, accepted at his Leesburg home, while Capitol Hill debated legality due to a ten-year military service rule. The White House backed Marshall, with Truman reversing a prior stance that Johnson would stay and Johnson praising Marshall as an inspiring choice.
