...congressional side of the argument, the face of the G.O.P.-as TV saw it-was a sad face indeed. Its composite features: genial Chairman Mundt, the "tormented mushroom"; Illinois' orating Everett Dirksen ("Old Bear Grease"); Idaho's Henry Dworshak, who didn't know when he was being insulted; Michigan's well-meaning but generally ineffective Potter; and, of course, McCarthy...
...from the three Democratic Senators on the Mundt committee, none at all from the four members of his own party. Illinois' Dirksen, who was making mellifluous pro-Eisenhower noises a few months ago, is now revealed as McCarthy's staunch supporter on the committee: Idaho's Dworshak, who was publicly insulted by McCarthy a few weeks ago, has masticated his pride and does what Dirksen suggests; Michigan's Freshman Senator Potter seems adrift; Chairman Mundt, trying painfully to be impartial, has won himself a new name-The Tormented Mushroom...

Dworshak thereby helped set up a combined target on the Senate floor for those who are 1) against Hawaiian statehood, 2) against Alaskan statehood, and 3) against statehood...

Why should I fight it unnecessarily?" There was a way out. Dworshak, some of whose mining constituents see a rich field for investment in Alaska as a state, got a promise from Chairman Hugh Butler that Alaska would be approved by the committee soon after Hawaii. With that assurance. Henry Dworshak provided the swing vote in another 8-to-7 decision, this one to report...
