Though Communists had sometimes sneaked in behind this respectable façade and made Graham look a little silly, he himself still commanded the respect of many Southerners. Ohio's John Bricker last week brought up the old, discredited question of Graham's fitness to handle confidential information as an atomic adviser. The first Senator on his feet was North Carolina's conservative old Clyde R. Hoey. He disagreed, Hoey admitted, with many of Graham's principles.

...Communism is our most powerful enemy. It is the strongest modern expression of a social idea-we must fight it but treat it with respect. We must study it well, deeply, and in all details so as to combat it, not with arms and force which are means of ephemeral victory, but by showing the masses-to whom we promise happiness in heaven while Marx promises happiness in mortal life-that long before Marx, St. Paul taught social justice, and that we can and must now put our theories into practice...
