Republicans Split Over Postwar Advisory Council
In Washington on June 24 a dispute arose among Republicans over the 49 member postwar advisory council named by national Chairman Harrison E. Spangler. Some argue the panel leans too pro conservative and isolationist, while others question whether such a large group can agree on specifics. Ball, Burton and others contend the council could influence the party platform and postwar policy including international cooperation. In Stockholm Copenhagen police linked a murder to a young Dane who had written a magazine story foretelling the case.
