    • 1959 May 15, “Abuse of equal justice”, in Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman[1], page 28:
      Anyone who hasn't been hypnotized long ago by the torrent of union propaganda knows that enough evidence of union corruption and crime was exposed by the McClellan committee to prove the case for taking away once and for all union labor's above-the law status. Instead of that the senate votes a creampuff piece of "corrective" legislation by heavy majority. Union leaders, encouraged by such jellyfish resistance, are lobbying to get the senate bill diluted down to pattycake dimensions through conference committee compromise.
