Sawyer McGrath Statements Differ Over Morris Case
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer and former Attorney General McGrath clash over the Morris matter. Sawyer says he asked McGrath to probe Morris ship deals more than six months before Morris was named to a cleanup post. McGrath testifies he knew nothing of Morris’s deals when appointing him in 1952. Congress may summon both officials to explain the maneuvers. Morris was fired as cleanup chief after a period of tension with McGrath. President Truman reportedly removed McGrath from his cabinet.
