Again disagreeing with the President, Senator McCarthy reiterated his belief that the influence of Communism in goverment will be the key issue in the 1954 and 1956 political campaigns. But he carefully avoided any reference to John Paton Davis, State Department aid who figured prominently in this week's debate...
Other reporters who thought that members of the Administration had "embraced McCarthyism" pointed mainly to five examples to support their belief: 1) State Department Security Chief Scott McLeod has "exercised his authority in a way that pleased Senator McCarthy," 2) failure of the White House to back Mutual Security Director Stassen in his fight with McCarthy over Greek shipping, 3) distribution by the Republican National Committee of the Jenner subcommittee report on subversion in Government, 4) use of "McCarthy and his activities" by the Republican Party at political rallies, 5) failure of the Administration to denounce McCarthy and his tactics...

All the pressure of great events, on and against which I had mentally so long maintained my 'flying speed,' would cease...
...there is another, wider view of equality, held today by many of this country's foremost lawyers. It is one which makes a good deal of sense. It is the belief that the very act of segregation vitiates the superficial equality of facilities. Despite the talk about equality, a Negro child is treated as unequal by being told that he cannot attend school with white children, for the plain implication is that he is not good enough to go to school with them. If he is so marked, then he is not being treated equally under...
