M’Hale Firm Represented Capone-Linked Brewery

of the Democratic National Committee, repeatedly has appeared ® before federal boards and agencies which the Democratic ‘administration of which heé is a part controls, has claimed huge fees for winning payments from such agencies and made huge profits out of companies doing business with the federal government. It comes after The Times suggested that Mr. McHale had disqualified himself for ‘membership on the Democratic’ National Committee by these activities, and should resign from it. ; Maybe that is just coincidence. But if they were working together on such a bipartisan control scheme as Mr. Pulliam so heatedly denies, we'd have to . admit he couldn't have timed it better.

Gene Pulliam says ‘somebody is lying.

HIS hysterical attack by the Star on The Times, and on individual Times writers, is based on what the Star represents as an anonymous letter.

It drags in quite a lot of local gossip which is no doubt painful to the tender ears of its publisher, and infers, without ever plainly saying, that The Times has published all this, and is responsible for it. This is not true and Eugene Pulliam knows it is not true. ;

It comes, though, at the climax of a bitter fight by some Marion County Democrats to take control of their party away from the McHale machine. It comes after The Times revealed that Mr. McHale, while an influential member
