Drew Pearson's man, Anderson, as

This is the second indication we
have found in the past week that
strong outside forces have joined
with the Democrats in an attempt
to dictate this election in Delaware.
The News-Journal papers just last
week indicated that rumors were
rampant in Washington that big oil
money was being poured into the
state to try and beat Senator John
Williams. Now, we have absolute
proof that Drew Pearson is plan
ming to inject himself into our

Layton, knowing Anderson's repu-
tasion, had a witness listening on
an extension telephone and taking
down notes of what was said. In
the course of the conversation,
Jack Anderson, Drew Pearson s
man, said quote, Congressman Has
kell has violated the law, unquote.
He, charged it violated the law for
Gree1hill Diaries to have a con-
tract to supply milk to Walter Reed
Hospital. He also said he was pre-
pairing to write this story for pub
lication
The fact is that this charge is the
climax of series of events calcu-
lated to defeat me in this election.
You will be amazed at the pattern
of events, but let me first deal with
the charge that or Greenhill have
violated the law.
/ am bringing this matter to your
attention because l believe this
serious charge should be made pub
lie Immediately. Before giving you
the facts on how the character as
sassination plot has developed, l
want to answer this charge that

luteiy and categorically untrue. Be-
fqore l went to Congress, l had
the law checked thoroughly to see
whether there was any conceivable
conflict of interest in regard to my
financial interest in Greenhill
Diaries, or in regard to my finan-
cial interest in any other business
es, including some of the largest
companies in the country, which do
business with the government.

political opponents have left me no
alternative.
Recently Mr.. Jack Anderson,
reporter for the nationally syndi-
Gated columnist Drew Pearson,
telephoned me. Jack Anderson, you
may remember, is the man who was
caught red-handed several months
ago in a Washington hotel room
attempting to rig secret recording
device. According to news reports,
he was registered in the hotel un-
der an assumed name, and when
apprehended, he was with an in
vestigator from congressional
committee. The congressional in
vestigator was promptly fired by
the Committee, and Jack Anderson
was severely reprimanded by the
nations press, but he was not fired
by Pearson.

son called. One of my associates,
Rodney M. Layton. returned the call
and talked to Jack Anderson. Rod
Milford chronicle., 1958-10-31


Jim Hagerty, the Presidents press
secretary, Immediately called the
story lie and 80 correspondents
who were travelling with the Presi-
dent packed up Hagerty against
Pearson.
In addition to Jack Anderson s
specific charge that l bad violated
the law by having a financial in
terest in Greenhill Diaries, which
is absolutely false, he made the in
sidious statemen THAT l might
have used influence to help Green
hill secure government contracts.
That same thinking was obvious in
Ernest Wilson, Jr..'s statement
early in August when he made the
"decaying hounds tooth" reference.
1t was also present in Mr.. McDow-
ellis statement last Thursday.
Innuendos have been made that
l exercised influence. This is Just
plain rot. l want to discuss this
matter of influence l say to you
that | have never written a letter,
| have never made a telephone call,
AofC ACfCI udQ d COlfSIScllOIl,
l have never had a communication
of any kind with any person in the
government about the contracts
bid on by Greenhill Diaries. In ad-
dition, no one to my knowledge has
ever used my name in connection
with any Greenhill bid on a gov
ernment contract.
AS said before. the contracts on
which Greenhill had bid are not
negotiated contracts. They are seal
ed bids awarded to the lowest bid
der on acompetitiye basis. There
is no opportunity whatever for in
fiuence in this type of contract.
Again, as a practical matter,
Greenhill last July was invited to
bid on II government contracts, and
it did not win any of them because
other dsiries underbid them. A few
weeks ago, Greenhill lost a gov
ernment milk contract because an
other dairy underbid it by just $50
on the entire contract.

A few weeks after Ernest Will
sons personal attack on me, Har-
ris B. Mcdowell, Jr., was nomina-
ted as my opponent in this election.
From the outset, he began to issue
public statements raising the ques-
ton of ethics in government. Be
fore long his statements began to
contain sly innuendos, obviously
pointed at me. didn't answer them
either for the same reason.
Mr.. McDowell's statements be-
gan to become more pointed and in
ferred that l had something to hide.
Then, last Thursday morning, he
issued the strongest statement so
far. His statement was aimed right
at me, but still without mentioning
my name.
This is what he said. He called
for a Tightening of loopholes which
permit firms owned by Congress-
men or their families to do busi-
ness with the government under the
guise of corporations. Under the
guiSe of corporation, he said, i'm
plying that I was trying to hide
something.
At another point, Mr.. Mcdowell
said that was clearly contrary to
the spirit Of existing conflict of in
terest laws. That is nothing but an
attempt to infer that l had done
something dishonest
Mr. Mcdowell had obviously
studied the law carefully on this
matter and having studied the law,
he knew that these laws were tight
ly written to prevent any conflict
of-interest, and yet he pursued his
course of trying to cast public
doubt on my character. Only a few
hours after Mr.. Mcdowell made this
statement directed at me, who
should call me on the phone but
Drew Pearson's reporter, Jack An
derson, who charged that | had
violated the very same law that
Mr.. Mcdowell had alluded to. Is
this telephone call something that
just happened, or was it planned?
| leave the final decision on that
question to you, but it is clear in
my mind that someone here locally
Intentionally planted this whole
malicious idea with Drew Pearson.
When this man Anderson was asked
if this was started by a political
opponent here in Delaware, he told
Rodney Layton he was well aware
of that possibility and we have a
witness to prove that Anderson
made that statement
My record on the matter of ethics
in government is / believe clear.
This year in Congress, as a matter
of fact, voted for joint Con-
gressional resolution reestablish-
ing a 10-point code of ethics.
Drew Pearson's representatives
was pushed or decided on his own
to inject himself into this political
campaign in Delaware to defeat
me. II Drew Pearson decided to
jump into our campaign, it isn't the
first time that this discredited col
umnist has tried an eleventh hour
effort to swing an election with
some totally untrue attacks.
In 1856, he tried to peddle a story
in his column against the Presi-
dent of the United States. About
two weeks before his election, he
wrote a story that the President
had suffered mild relapse regard
ing his heart condition. This story
was intended to throw fear into the
public that the President was i'll.
Milford chronicle., 1958-10-31

Let me give you the law which
is involved here. United States
Code, Title IS, Section 431, prohib-
its any member of Congress as an
individual from doing business with
the government.
However, Title IS, Section 433,
makes it perfectly clear that any
member of Congress is permitted
to have a financial interest in a
corporation which does business
with the government 1t dates back
to the turn of the century and has
been on the books ever since then.
In addition, the Attorney General
has rendered numerous opinions
upholding this law since its enact
ment and has had wide public dis
cussion.
Now this is the law. AS a prac-
tical matter, of course, most men,
bers of Congress have at least a
few shares of stock in corpora
tions which do some kind of busi-
ness with the government. Most
Senators and Congressman of both
political parties have stock hold
ings in these corporations. Some
members of Congress have un-
usually large financial interests in
companies doing business with the
government. This is permitted by
law.
