Humphrey (aghast): You cannot stop me from making a statement and adjourn this! You don't dare! Symington (banging his gavel): This hearing is adjourned! Don't ever tell me as a United States Senator and chairman of the committee what I dare or dare not do!
Where upon the flustered Symington stood up and rushed from the hearing room. That evening, he entered a Washington hospital for a previously scheduled hernia operation. He will be out of action for at least three weeks, and so will the subcommittee. But it is safe to predict that the U.S. has not heard the last of the conflict between George Humphrey and Stuart Symington.
