Speech #710193824

I rise to protest against the speech made by our good friend and colleague on the floor of this House. in which speech he condemned an official of the city of New York and said to this Houhe that some one sold Commissioner Whalen a gold brick. It is my opinion from the evidence I have that some one sold the gentleman from New York a foolish story. The gentleman from New York said to this House that Commissioner Whalen came before the Committee on Immigration and identified certain documents as the official documents of communistic propaganda within the city ofNew York. This charge appears on page 8769 of the REcoRD. I do not want to misrepresent my colleague so let me quote what he said to the House: The fact remains. however. that many people became alarmed when the commissioner of police came to a committee of the House and these documents were presented to the committee.
