Maryland Senator Millard E. Tydings, a long-serving Democrat and third in seniority, enters a three way September 18 primary facing strong Republican challengers. Debates over his record amid whitewash accusations from communist inquiries and a costly campaign with TV and radio outlets frame his bid for a fifth Senate term. His emergency defense emphasizes four Senate terms, WWI service, and a history of independent votes.
As chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, Tydings faces criticism tied to the Korean situation. Opponents argue scrutiny has influenced Maryland voters who are largely Catholic, conservative, and anti-Communist. Tydings responded by taking up the challenge in the race.
