Shelton, the first of the "uncooperative" newsmen to go to trial, called no witnesses when his case was heard last week in Washington by Federal Judge Ross Rizley. Instead, Defense Attorney Joseph L. Rauh Jr., chairman of Americans for Democratic Action, argued that the investigation was illegal because it served "no valid legislative purpose," that the subcommittee had no more right to question Shelton than any other "man off the street," heard his testimony solely to "expose him and others to contempt and ridicule." The investigation was a "reprisal" against the Times, which had frequently criticized the segregationist views...
...lawyer's statement to the jury, Paul Hughes, 35, is "base, venal, greedy" and "a louse," who admitted taking money for his fake evidence of crimes by Senator Joe McCarthy and his investigators (TIME, Jan. 30). In all, Hughes collected $10,800 from Joseph L.

...United States senator can ever hope to attain.

...itself represents a remarkable transformation of attitude. One needs only to recall that less than three years ago, its author was apparently ready to believe that Senator McCarthy had stored a private arsenal of Lugers, revolvers, and machine guns in the basement of the Senate office building. Whether Rauh feared at the time that Private Schine, the military member of the McCarthy menagerie, might be preparing to lead a march up the Capitol steps did not become entirely clear from the testimony at the recent Hughes perjury trial in New York City. But the trial revealed that responsible and otherwise...
