One newspaper clipping to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated February 10, 1974. This is an editorial written by Morrie Ryskind from the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner entitled "Semantic Inflation." He laments the discord between unions and union members regarding impeachment, and says that he has letters from union members resenting their union periodicals demands for Nixon's impeachment. Ryskind insinuates that the House Judiciary Committee, and specifically Peter Rodino (D-NJ), has received money from labor unions, and is therefore biased.
