Kennedy Defends Speech as Record Fights Ban
In Washington Kennedy urges the people to judge his remarks, claiming the majority of clippings from Republican papers support him while Democrats ignore his words. The House Judiciary Committee orders expulsion of his speech from the Congressional Record. Kennedy cites Lincoln and defends liberty and the ballot while noting his speech will linger in public memory despite official removal. A Dallas note reports the Southern Mercury barred for advertising a state lottery. Postmaster Witwer cites the lottery law and notes non mailability of such ads, with newspapers planning separate editions for mail and home use.
