would ask profound questions based upon their lack of learning about the economic meaning of these changes in employment and changes in cost of living, which it was my duty to explain. Then they began asking things which had nothing whatsoever to do with the release before them. They began asking tricky questions to trap one. This man saw that these were traps, that they were the kind of questions that a skillful and unscrupulous lawyer would try to get a witness to admit or deny that something had happened by sort of surprising him with a roundabout technique.

These very questions that the public doesn't like that McCarthy indulges in, leading them to say that they agree with his aim but his method is poor, are questions that are exactly like the kind of questions that newspaper people ask a public officer that they are interviewing - exactly. Of course, if you read back into the Hearst press of years ago, they are the kind of questions that they ask the gentleman who was found running down the hotel corridor when a lady fainted in another room. They are exactly the same kind of questions - to trap into admissions. But only the Hearst press indulged in this intrusion into people's private lives.

Of course, the press also feels it right to make an intrusion into the private lives of every public officer here.
