Admirers in Nebraska are planning to back him in the Nebraska primaries. As leader of the G.O.P. in foreign affairs Vandenberg has distinguished himself as a far-sighted and liberal statesman. He has thrown weight behind the Marshall Plan in opposition to the majority of his party. He again refuted partisan politics by backing the Lillienthal nomination. In national affairs Vandenberg stands for federal aid in education to backward states, limited military service, civil rights legislation, enforcement of anti-trust laws, and profit sharing in business.Gov. Thomas E. Dewey—A middle of the road Republican. Dewey's advantage lies in the need to appease both Left and Right wing in the G.O.P. His record as governor of New York is the best ivailable evidence as to his probable jlatform. Under him New York now las an F.E.P.C. and a liberalized unempoyment insurance program.
