Stassen Plans to Remain as Secretary for Peace
Harold Stassen announced in Washington that President Eisenhower requests him to stay on as secretary for peace and he agrees. He also asks all eight task force chairs to continue, including Dr. Ernest Lawrence. The move tempers Nixon opposition and follows Stassen’s preconvention push against Nixon. He will travel to the United Nations for a brief Disarmament Commission session before February talks on missiles and broader disarmament with Russia and allies.
