TUESDAY, DECEMBER, 28. 1954 BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER NEWS PAGE THREE McCarthy Feud, Censure Made Top News Headlines of Year By PAUL R. MICKELSON Assorialed Press General News Editor The biggest news story of 1954 had all the elements of a Broadway smash hit. It had two big acts and a wonderful supporting cast. It had a record run and a record audience.

Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's feud with the United States Army and his condemnation by the United States Senate was the big: headluier of the year. A real melodrama of politics with dramatic scenes off the main singe wings, it was topped near year's with the Wisconsin senator's open break with President Eisenhower. The Supreme Court's decision that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional was ranked the second biggest story of the year by editors in the annual Associated Press poll, but it didn't came close to harvesting the entotions headlines devoted to McCarthy and his battles. The Army hearings starred McCarthy and Joreph Welch, attorney for the Army, and millions saw and heard it over TV and radio.

Together with the censure hearings, which brought condemnation by a 67 to 22 vote against McCarthy for abusing congressional committees. the Carthy feutis required 61 days of official testimony. No other story, except for past wars and daily weather forrensts, ever achiered such recorda for suslained page one play in American newspapers. At the finish, the Republican party, like the Communist-hunting senator, had one arm in a sling with the 1956 presidential elections not very far away. 2.

'The Supreme Court's decision in May unanimous. It held states do not have the right to separate Negro and' white people in different public schools. The ruling did not end segregation at but set further hearings, now held up due to the death of Justice Robert H. Jackson, to decide how and when to end the practice.
