Censure Panel Chooses Top Issues On McCarthy Inquiry
Washington Senators on the McCarthy censure panel indicate they will drop some counts and draft rules to constrain hearings. They may exclude 46 charges, with focus on a Lustron Corp fee for a housing pamphlet and assertions that government secrets were unlawfully obtained. The committee plans to curb sensational proceedings, favor limited scope and public hearings without broad media coverage. Ellender argues the Lustron charge reflects no moral wrong if Wisconsin voters re-elected McCarthy in 1952. The panel also weighs whether McCarthy incited employees to violate their oaths or misuse security information.
