Most of them were held in Room 357 or Room 357 of the Senate Office Building in Washington. Hearings were also held New York City , at the federal courthouse at Foley Square or at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Some executive sessions took place at Fort Monmouth , New Jersey and in Boston.

Senator Joseph McCarthy began witch hunt of communists in the government . McCarthy claimed that there were known communists in the State Department. He held investigations and hearings and did ruin many careers. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower so feared his influence with the public that they did nothing to stop him. When McCarthy attacked the US Army as a hotbed of communist activity, the Senate finally censored him and he died a broken politician.
