If the Senate yielded to O'Danlel'K plea, McGrath said, "we will be taking part in denial of constitutional rights--American rights-to a distinguished American lawyer."

President Truman should not be held responsible because "it simply was a routine appointment," "If there's a.plot, I'm the plot," Connaily said, adding that he had recommended Dooley's' appointment after receiving many endorsements from Texas lawyers. Dooley, Connaily said, is not a political ally. "He's not a part of my machine I don't have such a thing," he Committee had recommended hla' confirmation "after a searching inquiry." "He has a right to confirmation," he said. During a. two-day talk On Dooley last week, O'Danicl mourned: "If he-is confirmed, the folks home will say I'm just weak sister.
