...Nassau, B.W.I., California's vacationing Bill Knowland threw McCarthy down hard. "This Administration has not been and in my judgment will not be in the future soft on the issue of Communism," he said. Arizona's Barry Goldwater said that McCarthy's charges against Ike were "not true." Even Maryland's John Marshall Butler, whose 1950 election victory is widely credited to McCarthy, deserted his idol, calling the attack "most unfortunate and uncalled for." Of the 22 Senators who had voted for McCarthy a few days before, only Idaho's Herman Welker publicly took...
...would be impossible for a sane man to attack President Eisenhower for being soft to Communism. The inescapable conclusion must be that Senator Joseph R.

The cramped space leaves little room for quiet study when others are searching for books. But the soft Grey wall to wall carpeting combined with handsome furnishing are pleasant, and the collection of 1500 important course and tutorial books, while currently limited, will increase by a thousand a year until the shelves are filled with books needed by the commuter. Although the non-resident ahs used the library...
