Second Turnabout
Witness Poses New
Problem for FEC
Ex-Red Says Testimony
Was Changed Several
Times by U. 5. Lawyers
By Mary McGrory

The Government has on its
hands today the problem Of
countering testimony from its
second turnabout witness in the
40-day old Lamb hearings.
Lowell Watson. self-described
ex-Communist, yesterday fol-
lowed Mrs. Marie Natvig, another
Government witness, in repudiat-
ing testimony given in the con-
troversial case last fall. A Kansas
dairy farmer, Mr.. Watson told
the hearings that his testimony
had been revised as often as four
or five times by direction of
Federal Communications Com
mission attorneys.
The FEC inquiry was started
by Edward Lamb'sapplication for
renewal of his radio-TV license
in Erie, Pa. Mr.. Watson was
recalled to the stand by Mr..
Lambs counsel, Russell Morton
Brown.
Joseph M. Kittner, chief FEC
counsel, told reporters after the
hearing that "any suggestion that
anyone on the Commission staff
improperly induced testimony is
wholly unfounded and patiently
false"
On one occasion last Septem-
Der. Mr.. Watson declared yester-
day. he told former FEC at
torney Walter l.. Powell, jr., that
he was dissatisfied" with the
changes made by Mr.. Powell and
complained to another FEC
lawyer, Thomas Fitzpatrick.
Revised Testimony.
"He (Mr. Fitzpatrick) told me
to go into an Office and put down
my own revisions. Mr.. Watson
said. II did this on 13 pages of
hand-written material. Fitzpat-
rick said he would help me. He
said my changes had merit but
that they didn't fit the pattern
and he told me to forget them"
On specific points relating to
his previous testimony at the
hearing, Mr.. Watson made the
following points:
/. That before the hearing be-
gan, he was shown pictures of
Mr.. Lamb SO he could identify
him in the hearing room. Even
SO he got Mr.. Lamb, whom he
had testified to meeting in Toledo
on Communist errands, confused
with former Attorney General
Howard McGrath, whose firm is
handling the case for Mr.. Lamb.
2. That Mr.. Powell hit on Eu-
gene Stoll (known in the party
as Gene Johnson. another Gov
eminent witness, and self-de-
scribed former Communist, as the
logical man to have introduced
him to Mr.. Lamb.
8. That Mr.. Powell assured
him tMr. Watson) that Eugene
Stoll was ready to testify that
he had introduced Watson and
Lamb. (Since then, Mr.. Watson
said he has come up with the
person who really did introduce
him to Mr.. Lamb. one Louis
Borer. whom he described as "a
of the Section Commit
tee of the Communist Party dur
ing my tenure"
4. That Mr.. Powell induced"
him to take a line from Commu-
mist Party literature about the
Scottsboro case and attribute it |
to Lamb.
Mr.. Watson, who now serves
as a consultant on communism
for the Justice Department, said |
that his false testimony had |
been the result of constant and |
