And a federal judge from Philadelphia, friendly, 56-year-old James P. McGranery, was called in today to serve as the nation's attorney general and try to pick up the pieces of the anti-corruption drive. McGranery—if confirmed by the Senate, and it looks as if he will be—must come to Washington in the slippery aftermath of the biggest governmental explosion to rock the capital since President Truman's middle-of-the-night dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The known casualties: J. Howard McGrath, attorney general. McGrath plummeted out of the cabinet of his old friend Harry Truman yesterday with a few tears, a statement that he was paying "the penalty" for doing his duty as he saw it, and a tip to his successor: Bring asbestos pants with you. Newbold Morris, Republican "cleanup chief" for the administration. McGrath fired Morris with rare abruptness just before going onto the greased skids himself. Morris fed pigeons from a park bench for a while, then averred he was fired because he couldn't turn his corruption-in-government investigation into a whitewash. The man at the top, Harry Truman, announced the "resignation" of his 1948 campaign manager, McGrath, as calmly as you please.
