case.
Sheriff Frank Cahoon and RAINY
Jennette of Buxton testified as to
the good character of the defend
ant. Clerk C. S. Meekins was put
on the stand to show that he had
no previous court record. The

some uncertainty about the date
the LISTS had wrecked. Mrs. Asa
Gray of Waves REMEMBERED the
date February 1, 1948) and
with that information for a
lead it was easy for the
Tourist Bureau representative to
find story in The Coast
land Times which gave the COM

addition to the LIST at Rodanthe,
similar vessel had come ashore
at Waves on the same date, but
the latter craft has been destroy

Passing of a Lonely Senator

useful means of transportation
for Republicans. The party
turned its back on him.
History will show too that
Senator Mccarthy was a
failure as symbol of the fight
against communism. The his
torianS will find nothing
tangible in all the long record
OF his bombast.
The truth is that the death
blow to the influence of Amer
lean communism was dealt by
the labor unions. The day that
American labor kicked out its
Com munists, they were
through as a political force.
At one fell swoop they lost
money. organization and the
cover of a respectable purpose.
The legacy of McCarthyism
is still with us. 1t has left deep
scars on the lives of many
Americans. The suspicious it
has aroused still cause difficult
ties for this country in it's
foreign relations. Because it
was briefly so spectacularly
successful, the specter of its
resumption still haunts many.
Only time will show whether
the seeds McCarthyism planted
are still viable. Meanwhile
men and women will be judged
for a long time by the courage
and character they displayed
or failed to display while Nc
Carthyism seemed triumphant.

Senator Mccarthy Pathetic Figure at End;
Three Reasons Explain His Rapid Decline

State Dulles, experienced so
precipitous a decline.
Three things were respon-
sible.
While the news was still on
President Eisenhower, Senator
Mccarthy dared to include
him in the condemnation he
had previously leveled at the
Roosevelt and Truman adj
ministrations. His bad timing
was fatal.
1t cost him the support Of
Republicans who tolerated
him as the scourge of Demo-
Gratis and were able in their
own minds to rationalize his
tactics as a means of bringing
Republicans back to power.
This loss was swiftly reflected
in a rapid cooling-of of the
press which is so favorable to
Mr.. Eisenhower.
Censure by the Senate al
most inevitably followed. SEN
ator McCarthy'S attacks on
President Eisenhower made
possible the bipartisan opera
ton which resulted in formal
censure by the Senate.
That cenSure had no practi-
cal meaning. despite its drama,
for it left Mr.. McCarthy's SEN
iority unimpaired. He remain
ed a powerful member of the
crucial Appropriations Com
mittee-a place in which he
could do damage to many of
the objects of his displeasure.
He continued his threatening
role as chairman of the investi-
eating committee. He retained,
in short. all the prerogatives
and perquisites of a Senator.
The final cruSher came with
the election of a Democratic
Senate in 1854. The victorious
Democrats took away his chair
manship and with it went the
glory. the staff and the power
of subpoena.
At that moment Senator Nc
earthly had run his course. The
election had proved that his
coattails were no longer a
