Excerpts From Speech

A FAIR ROUND-UP of what he has been saying in these Senate speeches can be culled from a broadcast Sen. Jenner made from Louisville, Ky.. on Friday night. Here are some excerpts “that speak for themselves. “My personal conviction is this so-called bipartisan foreign policy is the most vicious political instrument ever devised in our history for the purpose of poisoning, perverting and paralyzing the Independence of thought and action, and the political freedom of the American people, “It is the damnation of America and has . become the curse of Europe and Asia as well, *, . & monstrous, face-saving fraud . . . bipartisan fanatics . . . high priests of a new political religion, who, in order to save their own miserable hides are seeking to force a shotgun wedding of an elephant and a jackass, and are asking us to fall down in awestruck, terrified worship of the freakish offSpring ———master-minded bythe most ruth-— less collection of political crackpots and cutthroats ever assembled together in the execu- . tive branch of government. .
