ing Committee ordered Reming-
ton kept on the Department Of
Commerce payroll" To whom was
this order addressed? BY whom
was it made? When? Where?
How?
No Time to Answer Charge.
There never was any such order
and the conspirators who framed
this bold lie knew it. There was
no limit to their evil imaginations
as they concocted. prepared. had
printed, and circularized those (to
them known lies. They paid to
have it done. too. Buffers cam
paign expenses show this is so.
Please keep in mind that this
was done but a few days before
the election when there was no
opportunity to correct the lie.
Finally. I direct the commit
tees attention to the picture on
the bottom Of page of the four
page tabloid From the Record.
showing Earl Browder. the Com
munist leader. and Senator Ty-
dings in intimate camaraderie. It
appears that my arm is behind
Mr.. Browder in friendly embrace.
Under the picture there appears
these words. Communist leader
Earl Browder. shown at left in this
composite picture, was a star wit
ness at the Tydings committee
hearings, and was cajoled into
saying Owen baltimore and others
accused of disloyalty were not
Communists. Tydings (right) an
swered: oh, thank you, sir
Browder testified in the best in
terests of those accused, natu-
rally"
Here is a case where the evil
intentions and wicked designs of
the conspirators who assembled
this lying pamphlet were caught
red-handed. OF course there
never was any such picture of
Browder and myself as was ex-
hibited to the Maryland people
and voters. I had never met nor
seen Browder before he came be-
fore our committee. I treated him
as I treated all other witnesses.
When he refused to cooperate I
asked that he be cited for con-
tempt Of Congress. After the
election the transparent dishon-
esty OF the photograph let the cat
out Of the bag. Since election
these conspirators, in and out of
the Senate. have scurried hither
and yon trying to shift RESPONSE
bility for the fake.
Says Fake Was Confessed.
Some of them have since con-
fessed the picture was manufac-
tured and faxed. OF course the
word composite" was stated, but
we all know the word composite"
is not generally used or even un-
derstood by many people. Like
wise. we all know that one picture
is worth thousand words. That
picture brings into clear focus the
intent Of the conspirators in their
moral squalor to deceive the peo-
pie Of the State of Maryland in
the selection Of a candidate for
one Of the highest offices in the
world.
The four illustrations I have
shown speak eleQuently of the
character Of this pamphlet. They
show the character OF those who
originated it. The Butler Cam
paign Committee paid for it. The
Butler Campaign Committee cir
cularized it. The Butler Campaign
Committee took all the advan-
tages which flowed from these
malicious falsehoods. When 1t
was called to Mr.. Buffers atten-
ton, neither he nor those asso-
ciated with him had the funda-
mental manhood to denounce it
for what it was.
At this point I wish to call to
your attention some articles in
the Baltimore Sun that were writ
ten but few days before election
by Mr.. Odell Smith, a correspond
ent. One articles reads: Senator
Tydings accused his Republican
opponent of publishing the faxed
photographs and outright false
hoods in a last-minute effort to
besmear the Senator's (Tydings)
record.
Mr.. Smith interrogated Mr..
Butler about this charge. Here is
what Mr.. Butler replied to Mr..
Smiths question. I quote: 1.-THE
headquarters of John M. Butler,
the Republican nominee, denied it
had authorized the printing and
distribution of the paper, but
spokesman said. We knew that
some such thing was being pub
lished.'"
Then Mr.. Odell Smith, the Sun
papers correspondent, continues
with a direct quote from Mr.. But
Ter himself. Here's what Mr..
Butler said: "He (Senator Tyd-
ings) wants to boast of those parts
of his record that he chooses for
public exposure. He is now whin-
ing because parts of his record
have been opened to the public
view."
After the publication had been
printed and before the election,
MIR. Butler knew of the faxed
photograph and outright lies.
Yet his answer to my complaint
to these deliberate lies was che
