...Sweeping. The interesting news that McCarthy's team had followed up a doctored photograph with a doctored letter was accompanied by some even more interesting disclosures. The bogus letter was based upon a 15-page memorandum sent by the FBI to the Army and was marked "confidential." The memo was headed: To Maj. Gen. A. R. Boiling, from John Edgar Hoover, and bore no signature. (The bogus letter was headed "Sir," was signed "Sincerely yours, J. Edgar Hoover, Director" and was marked "Personal and Confidential.") McCarthy testified that he got the letter from an officer in Army intelligence. From...
Appalling Accusations. The "other side" took the form of eleven interoffice memos, purported to have been written in the last six months by McCarthy or Cohn or the subcommittee's executive director, Francis Carr. Several memos bore the same dates as entries in the Army's report. For example, on January 14, the day the Army said Cohn promised to "wreck the Army" if Schine were sent overseas, a "Roy Cohn" memo to "Senator McCarthy" said: "John Adams has been in the office again. He said that if we keep on with the hearings on the Army...

...Creeping Socialism." Last week President Eisenhower took a short step in John Kennedy's direction. During the 1952 campaign, as he swung through depressed Lawrence and Lowell, Mass., Ike had promised to do something about New England. His follow-through came in the form of a memo to the principal defense-procurement agencies, giving his vigorous endorsement to an Office of Defense Mobilization program for stepping up defense spending in blighted areas. The plan's principal features: 1) to set aside from 20% to 30% of major defense contracts for areas of unemployment, providing that plants...
...President's memo did not specify any industries or any regions, but the South was certain that Ike meant New England, and Southern politicos rent the air with cries of alarm. "An invitation to corruption," Georgia's Richard Russell called it. "Creeping socialism," said Arkansas' Bill Fulbright. Georgia's Walter George, ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, declared that it would be better for the Federal Government to pay unemployment compensation to New England's jobless rather than "to throw the economy of the nation out of kilter" by encouraging the expansion of industry...
