The VICE PRESIDENT. The resolu- tion will be received and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration. The resolution «S.

Not only were substantial sums of con- tributions and expenditures not properly re- Ported to Maryland suthorities as required by jaw. but also a proper accounting was not made to the Secretary of the Senate as required by the Federal Corrupt Practices Act": and Whereas such report, with respect to the literature used in the campaicn of Senater JoHN MaxsHaLt BcTies, contains findings us follows: wr . * a “The tabloid from the Rreorp cortains Misleading half truths. misrepresentations, and false innuendos that maliciousy and without foundation attack the loyalty and patriotism mot only of former Senator Mul- lard Tydings. who won the Distinguished Service Cross for battlefieid heroism in Word War I. but also the entire membership of the Senate Armed Services Committee in 1950. “2.
