...McKellar with shoes on. Working hand in glove with McKellar, he tied the 81st Congress' appropriations machinery in knots, staged a one-man committee filibuster against a liberalized bill to admit D.P.s to the U.S., and almost succeeded -with McKellar-in mutilating the Marshall Plan last summer. To control or retaliate against Senators who stand up against him, the silver-haired spokesman of the silver bloc swings a big club: chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee, which passes on all claims against the Government and judiciary patronage...
