Mainline

Wherever he went, in whatever country he visited, Senator Malone applied himself to the purpose of his visit with the mind of a trained engineer. Two things were uppermost in his thoughts. They were these:


—What was the relationship between facts and events as he saw them, and the strategic position of these United States; and


—What was the cumulative effect of other countries' policies upon the workingmen and investors of his own Nation, whether in industry or on ranch or farm?


He reported his findings to his colleagues in the Senate, in floor debates; the committees on which he served published literally thousands of pages of his reports. The people of Nevada re-elected him to the Senate in 1952.


For the next two years Senator Malone was chairman of the Minerals, Materials and Fuels Economics Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. He went on to rank as minority member of the latter Committee and a member of the Senate Committee on Finance.
