Struggle Within GOP Shapes Eisenhower Admin
Washington Nov 22 The first signs of a power struggle within the new Eisenhower administration emerge as two veteran Republican leaders Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio vie to shape the party's path. Dewey backs an internationalist wing while Taft emphasizes internal threats from communism. Dewey hints at a possible secretary of state role for himself but suggests John Foster Dulles instead. Taft may become Senate Republican leader, affecting legislation. Other notable figures include George M. Humphrey, Harold Stassen, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., Richard Nixon, and Everett Dirksen, all eyed for future influence. Eisenhower must balance these factions to maintain program support.
