Ives of New York Senator Builds Esteemed Freshman Record
Freshman Senator Irving McNeil Ives of New York stands out in the 80th Congress for sagacity and activity, especially on labor legislation. A perfectionist editor with a disciplined work habit, he writes meticulously, votes on clearly worded bills, and puzzles over Sunday work. His closest friend is Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, linking New York’s labor model laws to his legislative influence. He longs for a good banana split and maintains simple tastes despite a demanding schedule.
