The newspaper, moreover, has charged that the committee's counsel tried in closed hearings to establish a connection between a witness's former association with the Communist party and the character of the news published in the paper. These alleged attempts at intimidation the Times attributes directly to the senators' hostility to the paper's editorial policy...
