not hesitate to act in defense of
her national honor, if the rights of
the Hungarian minority in Slovakia

The government declaration. read
by Count Stefan Csaky, minister of

remedied and that Hungary was
now at the limit of her patience" J"

To Speak Tonight
In Prince Georges
BY JACK ALLEN,
Star stan Correspondent.

BALTIMORE, April 30.-Senator
Tydings, campaigning for the re-
nomination of his colleague. Senator
Radcliffe, today had asserted that
Howard Bruce and his sponsors
have failed dismally to show any
real reason why Mr.. Bruce should
be nominated"
The senior Maryland Senator. who
will join with Senator Radcliffe in
two addresses in Prince Georges
County tonight, declared the current
campaign in some respects has
been silly: too silly. indeed for
great office like that of United States
Senator.
Mr.. Bruce's supporters have
stated over the radio that they
would criticize Senator Radcliffe's
record, but there has been too little
OF it for any one to criticize
Sheer nonsense and smoke
screen-that is all these statements
amount to. What they should have
said is that they disagree with Sen
ator Radcliffe's record too little to
criticize it."
On Statewide Radio HOOkup.
Senator Tydings' talk was made
over a Statewide radio hookup.
He said that outside of some
three or four small, isolated in
stances" Mr.. Bruce has not said
one word of public criticism of
Senator Radcliffe's voting record
bn more than 100 votes on the
most important matters coming be-
fore the United States Senate in
the last five years.
That is a powerful indorse-
ment." he said, "of Senator Rad
clif1e by the very man who is seek
ing to get his seat in the Senate.
In the language Of baseball Mr..
Radcliffe thus has a batting av-
erage of $50 out of a possible 900,
even in Mr.. Bruces own estimation"
These are the facts" Senator
Tydings continued, land you who
are listening know they are facts.
You know my statements will stand
the light of scrutiny. You know I
know there has not been any
tangible reason, even a remote
reason, offered to show YOU whv
Mr.. Bruce would make a better
United States Senator than George
Radcliffe has made"
Senator Tydings concluded by as
serting that he knows both men
well and that have had the privi-
lege OF the friendship of each for
many years. A choice between
friends is always one of some diff
Guilty but the facts are so conclusive
IN support of Senator Radcliffe's
candidacy that I feel a recital of
them will convince any person will
ing to be influenced by facts, that
George L. Radcliffe is entitled to the
affection, esteem and support of the
people of this State and Nation"
Senators Radcliffe and Tydings
will speak at 7 o'clock tonight at the |

in Upper Marlboro. and at $50

agents, fanatically devoted to their
leaders. Such agents. he said, num-
