Accuse Each Other.
| Mr.. Mckinney said Col. Nc
Cormick, like Joe Stain. wants
lthe United States to withdraw
its moral and physical support
from Europe and permit that
workshop of freedom to drop into
the lap of communism.
Commenting on Mr.. Mckinney
speech, Col. Mccormick said "the
Tribune during the last two days
has shown Mckinney up as q
crook. He has tried to muddy the
water by telling lies about the
Tribune and me.
I'm not going to pay any atten-
ton to his lies. but I'm going to
continue to show up his corruption
and that of the administration"
The Tribune attacked Mckinney
in connection with a stock deal
in which the Democratic chairman
made $4,000 profit on a $1,000
investment.
Mr.. Mckinney acknowledged
that he had purchased stock in a
Philadelphia tractor company, now
in bankruptcy, from Frank Cohen,
and sold it back to Mr.. Cohen IL
months later at high profit. Mr..
Mckinney said. however, there was
nothing shady" in the deal, and
that Cohen bought the stock back
at such a high figure because he
wanted to get control Of the firm
before selling out to South Amer
lean firm. Mr.. Mckinney said the
deal later fell through.
"Scuttle" Tactics Charged.
Mr.. Mckinney accused some
Republican leaders of "scuttle and
run" actics.
1 They are disciples of doubt
trying to sneak into Office in a
cloud of negative criticism" he
charged.
I'm their frenzied scramble for
power they are resorting to tao
tics which are undermining con-
fldence in government"
He asserted that a Campaign
of fear and smear" is making
decent patriotic men and women
hesitant about entering Govern
ment service" And charged the
present national campaign is be-
ing waged similarly to that in
Maryland in which John M. But
Iler. Republican. last year unseated
Millard E. Tydings, veteran Dem
ocratic Senator.
1 In the Maryland campaign, he
said, fraudulent newspaper"
\ which printed a fake photo
/ graph" of Senator Tydings appar-
emily in friendly conversation with
Communist Earl Browder was in
lspired by Senator Mccarthy and
was. printed-at cost or below cost
in the plant Of the Washington
Times Herald-which is owned by
Col. Robert Mccormick and pub
lished as the Washington edition
Of the Chicago Tribune"
"Was that ethical?" Mr.. Nc
Kinney asked"
Maryland Campaign Brought Up.
He said some Republican leaders
see in the Maryland campaign of
last year "a blueprint for victory
in 1882"
In Los Angeles Senator Nc
Carthy said the Gillette Senate
committee. currently investigating
Senator McCarthy's activities, has
indicated there is no evidence he
had anything to do with the al
legged fake photograph" of Mr..
Tydings.
Mr.. Mckinney charged that II
Chicago voters Had to rely upon
the Chicago Tribune as their only
source Of news-then they would
be as badly misinformed as those
unhappy millions behind the iron
curtain-where truth is bootleg
commodity"
There is more than one SINH
larity between the Tribune and
the Russian mouthpiece, Pravda,' -
Mr.. Mckinney continued.
Both of them edit the news to
fit the party line.
''Moreover. these lines are
sometimes parallel.
Both Blame Truman.
"When Russia breaks prom
A Use, Joe Stain blames the United
a States and Harry Truman. Sc
does the Chicago Tribune.
when Russia precipitates 9
q world crisis, Stain blames the
n United States and Harry Truman
So does the Chicago Tribune.
when Russia starts a shoot
Il ing war, Stain blames the United
d States and Harry Truman. 81
& does the Chicago Tribune"
