Then, late in August, came a scud of rumors linking Javits with Communist-front organizations ten years ago. A prime source of the rumors: Jay Sourwine, former counsel of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee when it was headed by Pat McCarran and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator in Nevada.
