	Ralph E. Flanders, McCarthyism and the Censure of Joseph McCarthy
		Flanders appeared at the church forum March 5, and Elizabeth French of Springfield, his secretary at the time, believes it was the crowd's criticism of McCarthy that led to the Vermont senator's decision that the hour was at hand for a public statement on the matter.
		Flanders said he was subjected to "persistent" questioning by the press in Melbourne where "the same question appeared and reappeared at luncheons, dinners and informal meetings." The senator continued in his memoirs, "At last it became clear that the impression was gaining ground that an American brand of Naziism was in the process of formation.
		Flanders said McCarthy's headline-grabbing ventures were diverting the nation's attention from Korea, Indochina, Italy, France and England--lands that were in need of this country's attention and help as they fought to maintain their governments in the face of communist challenges.

		Flanders was one of the most prosperous places in Europe, giving the Duke a major source of revenue, and the Free County gave him a foothold in the Empire and in the old Kingdom of Burgundy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Flanders
		Flanders is an unpicturesque lowland, whose level is scarcely above that of the sea, which accounts for the fact that a great part of it was for a long time flooded at high water.
		Flanders then received a French governor, but the tyranny of the French soon brought about an insurrection, in the course of which some 3000 French were slaughtered in Bruges, and at the call of the two patriots, de Coninck and Breydel, the whole country rose in arms.
		Philip sent into Flanders a powerful army, which met with a crushing defeat at Courtrai (1302); after another battle, which remained undecided, the King of France resorted to diplomacy, but in vain, and peace was restored only in 1320, after Pope John XXII had induced the Flemings to accept it.
