Stassen To Give Lincoln Day Address In New York
Harold E Bris sen of Minnesota the lone avowed 1948 Republican candidate for president is slated to deliver the principal Lincoln day address in New York City on February 13 at the Waldorf under auspices of the National Republican Club of New York. Invitations extended to Thomas Dewey and Robert A Taft with Taft declining possibly on party leader advice. Dewey has not replied. The Lincoln day address is viewed as a display of presidential hopefuls and a preview of a budget balance debate set for February 15 with a push for a 20 percent income tax cut. An unrelated note from New Castle Indiana reports a thief stealing a distributor by removing bolts and lifting a Ford engine cylinder head.
