Fedder Story Denied By Investigator
Baltimore printer William H. Fedder testified before a Senate committee that three Butler campaign workers including Donald A. Surine forced him to ride in a car to recover a letter from Butler headquarters. Surine called Fedder’s charges a fantastic fabrication, while Fedder admitted lying about mailing thousands of postcards and returning stamps and a $500 check. The testimony followed Fedder’s earlier claim of a midnight ride and threats tied to payment for printing services in the 1950 Maryland senatorial race.
