Questioning Of Wechsler Is Disclosed
The Senate Investigating subcommittee released 186 pages of transcripts detailing secret-session exchanges between Chairman Joseph R. McCarthy and James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Post. Wechsler admitted membership in the Young Communist League 1934 to 1947, quitting at 22, but said his writings oppose communism. McCarthy said he was not convinced Wechsler broke with communism and accused him of aiding it by attacking dissidents. Wechsler framed his testimony as a reprisal claim against the Post for criticizing McCarthy, seeking review by the American Society of Newspaper Editors on press freedom. McCarthy noted an exempt class from investigation and promised to continue.
