Coe sought Senate warrant and FBI help in arrest
The subcommittee agreed to seek a Senate warrant for Coe’s arrest and FBI assistance in locating him. Coe refused on December 1 to inform the Senate internal security subcommittee whether he was a Communist. Two former U S foreign aid officials said Washington instructed them to halt 1949 negotiations, with Coe objecting amid protests from the Czech Slovakia fund representative. Coe resigned from the fund after appearing before the subcommittee. Mundt led the session in McCarthy’s absence, seeking to identify who ordered the breakoff and why.
