Memorandum for Mr. Boardman

WINCHELL SAID:

~New York City: A political scandal, ladies and gentlemen~ that received puny attention in the New York papers was the Paul~ughes case. Hughes was acquitted ot perjury. The New York World Telegram-Sun uns one 01 the very Jew newspapers to feature the verdict on the editorial page as well as·its opinion. The following slap in the/ace is tram that exciting editorial: ~egardless ot the verdtct~ the Hughes case uncovered for the Dublic a shabbu Dlot to smear Senator Joseph~Carthy. Whether one likes Senator ACCarthy or not~ the \ftort to use bogus, derogatory

tn/ormation against him merits only contempt. Another sequel to the Hughes trial must be the flushed faces in the ALW' (that's the Americans lor Democratic Action) which, says the World Telegram-Sun edttortal~ ~s made so much righteous ·to-do about the use oj paid i~or.mers. 1M

CO.MMENT:

For your inlormatto~. Hughes was acquitted on 2/3/56 '01 per jury.. He had been charged with lying to a gr~nd jury inuesttgating Harvey Abt~sOlD.

WINCHELL SAID:
