Mr.. Butler.
Mr.. Boddie testified. however, |
that he gave permission for the
use of his name because "Mr.
Tydings did not have the best in
terests of my racial group at heart. |
My group wasn't receiving any |
crumbs from the legislative cake
much less a slice"
Advertising Man Testifies.
Marshall Hawks, head of a
Baltimore advertising agency, said
he was paid $10,636 by Butler

$2,490 in cash and the remainder
by check. He said all of the
checks with one exception were
signed by the campaign treas
