...McCarthy heyday when the Senate, on the strength of a 1951 Internal Security Subcommittee investigation, withheld confirmation of his appointment as a U.S. delegate to the U.N. (Senators objected to his connections with the Red-infiltrated Institute of Pacific Relations and his editing of a 1949 State Department white paper which flatly blamed Chiang Kai-shek for the fall of China.)

He accepted the positions of president and editor of the Herald Tribune...

From Tribune Owner John Hay Whitney, presently U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, came an announcement: on Whitney's return from Britain next January, he will take over as president and publisher of the Trib. Said Whitney: "Mr. White has informed me of his desire to resign [his] offices, and his resignation has been regretfully accepted...
