The Senate Democratic Policy Committee decided today to invite Chairman Pat McCarran of the Senate Judiciary Committee before it next week to explain his blocking of the House-approved displaced persons bill.
Senators said that if Sen. McCarran continues his refusal to act, Republicans may join with Democrats in an effort to force the measure out of the committee and before the Senate. Sen. McCarran opposes the bill and has stated that he can see no basis for Jewish complaints on the United States displaced persons program.
