For the most part the US Senate hearings conducted by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950s were designed to expose communists in the film industry and to an extent question whether communists had penetrated the US Government. Eventually the Senate censured McCarthy for practices not in line with the Senate's respect for policies and procedures and personal privacy.
For a time, however, the general public was, to a degree, alarmed by McCarthy's accusations. His position was given some credence by the conviction of Alger Hiss and the trial of the Rosenbergs, charged with giving atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union.
Of note is that for short time New York lawyer Roy Cohn and Robert F. Kennedy were on McCarthy's staff.
