under which his aides would
notify Mr.. Mundy of checks being
cashed Independently and that he
assumed his stan mad followed
through on his orders.
He said he reported the extra
funds to Mr.. Mundy when he
could reach him but that, after
the campaign got into high gear"
in the final days, this was some
times hard to do.
At Office, Mundy Says.
On the contrary Mr.. Mundy
said he was present daily in his
Office within a few blocks of
campaign headquarters during
this period.
Mr.. Jonkel had said Mr.. Mundy
informed him only in a general
way on the Maryland law and
that he himself had little
specific knowledge on the subject.
Mr.. Mundy, in two official re-
ports filed by Senator Butler with
the Senate. listed $55,813 in con-
tributions, and disbursements of
$63,503. He advised Mr.. Jonkel
to file his own supplementary
report, he said. when the latter
wrote to him last February 26
that he had received and spent
an additional S27,10O
Mr.. Mundy said he agreed to
act as campaign treasurer, after
he and Mr.. Butler came to Wash
ington and conferred with Sena-
tor Mccarthy last July. Also
present were Robert Morris,
minority counsel for the Senate
committee that investigated the
Mccarthy charges of communism
In the State Department, and Miss
Jean Kerr, member of the Sena-
tors staff, the witness said.
Senator Mccarthy campaigned
against Mr.. Tydings after the
committee headed by Mr.. Tydings
rejected the Wisconsin Senator's
charges as a hoax Senator
Mccarthy contended Mr.. Tydings
had "whitewashed" the investi-
cation.
Opened Campaign Account.
Mr.. Mundy said that, after he
accepted the assignment, he
opened a campaign account in
the First National Bank Of Balti-
more.
1T was my thought the account
should contain the complete his
tory of all deposits and disburse-
ments of the campaign, he added.
The treasurer explained he re-
ceived few checks directly. They
came over from campaign head
quarters, he said, usually with a
letter of explanation.
The witness said he filed a re-
port on his campaign account on
November 27 with the Circuit
Court of Baltimore, as required
by Maryland law. These amounts
also were reported to the Senate
by Mr.. Butler.
A copy of Mr.. Jonkel's letter
to Mr., Mundy was forwarded on
February % to the subcommittee,
along with a copy of Mr.. Mundy's
reply. The latter was made the
basis OF supplemental report to
the Senate by Mr.. Butler.
Were the amounts listed by
Mr.. Jonkel included in your off,
cial report?" Mr.. Mundy was
asked.
Not in Report.
"They were not included in my
report" he replied. II had no
knowledge of them until a few
days before I received Mr.. JON
kel's letter. I have had little
connection with the campaign
manager since the election"
Under questioning by Senator
Margaret Chase Smith. Republi-
can, Of Maine Mr.. Mundy said he
first was informed that Mr.. JON
kel was planning to report addi-
tional sums to him by Attorney
Ennis Stockridge of Baltimore.
The witness explained that,
after he learned of the investiga-
ton. he advised Mr.. Butler to
seek the counsel of a friend who
could be completely trusted"
Il thought some one should act
as co-ordinator to bring out the
true facts" he said. That is, not
just say we were innocent, but to
bring out the facts just as if we
were going into court"
At that time, Mr.. Mundy added
he knew that. Senate investiga-
tors were going over his campaign
account.
How did Mr.. Stockridge hap
pen to be in touch with Mr.. JON
kel before you received the letter
from the campaign manager?"
Mrs. Smith asked.
Il suppose Mr. Stockridge was
in conference with Mr.. Jonkel
He told me in no uncertain terms
that there was something like
$27,10 which had never been re-
ported to me and had never
passed through my account. He
may have told me he got the in
formation from Mr.. Jonkel."

letter of February 26 with Mr.
Butler? asked Committee Counsel
Edward A. McDermott.

port, as requested by Mr.. Jonkel?'
