ousted plans to hold a closed ses-
sion next week to chart the future
course of the inquiry.
The group adjourned yesterday

Connecticut.
Witnesses were heard for the

cusation that Senator Mccarthy
acted improperly in selling an ar

Corp. for $4,000.
At the time, the corporation
was heavily in debt to the RFC

ever, that all the loans in ques-
ton have been paid. In addition,

bring up the Senator's financial
dealings to establish "wrong-do-
ing" He explained this was done
to show what might have mott
