The coordinator of the proposed forum, Hershel Shanks 1L, said that since Sen. McCarthy had already accepted, the forum would not be cancelled. Rather, he said, he will try to get "as able and expert" a representative of one side as Sen. McCarthy is of the other.
Former President Truman has still not indicated to the Law School Forum whether or not he will accept its invitation to debate the issue of Communism with Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, Hershel Shanks, 1L, coordinator of the proposed forum, said last night.
Sen. McCarthy said Thursday that he would be willing to accept the bid, provided Truman did the same. Shanks said, however, that although McCarthy had signified his acceptance in Washington, he has not sent official word to the Forum.
The topic of the proposed debate: "How We Americans Should Deal With Communism" has been tentatively set for March 5, but Shanks has stated that he would change the date to suit the speakers.
Last night, Shanks said he had not received McCarthy's acceptance. A Boston paper reported he had.
