Senator McFarland Politely Accused Over Socialism Record
The Nogales Legion convention featured Sen. Ernest W. McFarland and Rep. Harold A. Patten discussing trends toward socialism. McFarland voted Yes on federal education and public housing—claims of hypocrisy arise as critics note his opposition to housing bills in Congress and his wide approval of New and Fair Deal legislation. Patten, contrastingly, voted against housing bills despite past support from labor groups. Critics say Washington distorts reality while McFarland’s voting record appears inconsistent with his public anti socialism stance.
