I'm a tad puzzled. Lex can't vouch for Amazo's honesty but says he HAS to be honest because he's an android. That's ... pretty much vouching for it, right?
I remembering finding that puzzling in 1976. I believe that Lex by "honesty" means "goodness", "uprightness" (particularly since this is after the heroes choose Uncle Sam, a paragon of virtue, as their home plate ump). It's Amazo's VERACITY that is unquestionable. I mean... that is of course not true and never was before or after in any Amazo story. But they needed SOME excuse to have a villains ump that would be acceptable to the heroes.
Is that Dick Dillin art? There are some Bronze Age comics artists whose styles stick with me, and I can recognize them like a Las Vegas security camera. I think. 80% chance it's Dillin, 20% chance it's Irv Novick.
