Rumor mill ignites Dewey bid and trade debate
The piece traces a Washington rumor that Governor Dewey might run for president in 1956 and details a proposed succession scenario. It also analyzes the one year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, arguing for stricter limits with Red-dominated countries and outlining risks of trading with Soviet satellites. It notes visitors H. C. Preslar and Morris Higley and ends with a playful query about who is the cotton picker or maize header.
