Ohio Republicans push for New Deal liquidation and anti Communism drive
At the state convention in Columbus Ohio Republicans launched a platform calling for complete liquidation of the New Deal and defeating the current New Deal governor. They labeled New Deal Democrats as intertwined with Communism and the CIO PAC. Former Gov John W Bricker challenged Truman and warned that if Communists prevail in Ohio America is lost. The platform urged tax cuts and veterans housing, opposed peacetime price controls and extended OPA, and backed a bi partisan foreign policy while vowing to scrutinize the state department. Retired director Jay M Cogan dies at 81 in Canton.
