Partisan Pitches. Once they had wound up, the subcommittee's three Democrats -Maryland's Millard Tydings, Rhode Island's Theodore Green and Connecticut's Brien McMahon-got in a few unmistakably partisan pitches. Straight-faced, they recommended the appointment of a twelve-man nonpartisan commission to go over the loyalty ground again, "human nature being what it is, particularly in an election year." Then they needled Republican members Bourke B. Hickenlooper and Henry Cabot Lodge (who did not sign the report) for not attending sessions regularly, adding that Hickenlooper had read through only nine...
...worn, broke and hankering to live out his days peaceably with his estranged wife and son. He rides into a town behind the frontier to find them. To avoid trouble, he coops himself up in a saloon on a quiet morning while the friendly sheriff (Millard Mitchell), an ex-crony, goes to fetch his wife (Helen Westcott). As Peck waits, trouble seeks him out: a fanatic is gunning for him to avenge a murder he never committed; three brothers of his latest victim are moving in for their own revenge; a cocky young loafer is itching to win glory...

Without even waiting to see the Tydings report, McCarthy announced that it would be "a disgrace to the Senate." Unfortunately for him, however, there were other headlines being made these days...
...line if it took all election season. Indiana's Homer Capehart, backed by 20 other Republican Senators, demanded that the Senate Judiciary Committee open a brand-new, full-dress investigation of the Justice Department's handling of the case in 1945. Maryland's long-jawed Millard Tydings promptly accused Capehart's team of being offside. Tydings' own special Foreign Relations subcommittee was already looking into Amerasia, he said; the Capehart resolution amounted to a vote of no confidence before the committee had even wound up its hearings...
