The Army-McCarthy hearings were temporarily converted into a Harvard Law School reunion yesterday, as two graduates, working on opposite sides of the controversy, met face to face for the first time since 1941.
It all began when Army lawyer Joseph 'Welch asked McCarthy witness George Anastos '38, LL.B. '41, "Are you a graduate of that suspect place--Harvard?" When Anastos replied that he was, Welch confronted him with James St. Clair, a classmate of Anastos, whom Welch calls "his brilliant young assistant."
"Hello, George," said St. Clair to his classmate. "How are you."
"All right," Anastos replied.
But before the conversation could get underway, Senators Mundt (R.S.D.) and Jackson (D-Wash.) called a halt, lest the hearings become a class reunion.
