Werdel Backers Denounce Absenteeism Charges as Misleading
A committee of E. J. Peters, Dr. R. de Campos, and Mrs. Harry H. Holley released a statement defending Congressman Thomas H. Werdel against claims of absenteeism. They note official records show he missed only 26 roll calls in four years and often paired votes, with many so called absences due to quorum calls or official duties. They cite illness and family emergencies including hospitalizations in 1950 51 and his mother’s cancer surgery in 1952 as affecting attendance.
