Herbert H. Hauge resigns from the state board of control a year after intending to leave. He had joined as an interim member following the Iowa Training School for Boys episode in August 1945 and stayed on as a personal favor to someone.
Sen. Aiken of Vermont pledges Republican support for President Truman’s farm program next year, signaling potential unity on domestic policy.

The article argues Senator Robert Taft could abandon the Senate leadership or retire in 1950.

He recommends tetanus prophylaxis and medical supervision for all exposures.
