Once convinced he was right. he fought for his convictions with resolute courage and uncompromising determination. regardless of the odds against him. PAT MCCARRAN rose to greatness as a statesman. jurist. and legislator. in a way that is typically American. He had a humble start in life as the son of poor immigrants from Ireland. It was no easy task for him to acquire an education. but his early struggles shaped his career and built the strength of character that was to serve his State and the Nation so ably in his long and brilliant career. No one in the Senate battled more vigorously than he to make America strong. to drive out the poisonous influence of communism. and to defend our Republic against every other form of unAmerican doctrine.
