Taft campaign funded partly by government says Ferguson
In a prepared statement Ferguson, a Democrat and former Senate candidate, alleged Taft’s successful 1950 campaign in Ohio benefited from government tax money through deductible political advertising by large firms. Taft pegged outlays at about ten cents per voter. Ferguson urged a ban on deducting political ads as ordinary expenses. Monroney proposed a ten cent per person limit and a $250,000 cap in small states to curb spending.

Washington, backing a UN General Assembly move, would have the Big Four—U S, Soviet Union, Britain and France—discuss disarmament in private, chaired by Mexico’s Luis Padilla Nervo. The question now rests with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky, whose response signals willingness or reluctance to pursue the private talks.
