Trial Balloon for Henry Cabot Lodge for President
Raymond J. Crowley reports on a possible Republican trial balloon naming Henry Cabot Lodge as a presidential candidate. The context follows Lyndon B. Johnson's sudden ascent to the presidency, stirring GOP turmoil and prompting rethinking among leaders including Dwight D. Eisenhower who supposedly urged Lodge to run. Lodge, ambassador to South Vietnam, denies running but notes Eisenhower would be treated with respect.
