Who's for Whom
P: Margaret Truman showed up at a party wearing a Harriman button, expertly eluded newsmen who wondered if she had cleared it with dad.
P: Lieut. General Leslie Groves (ret.), wartime boss of the atomic Manhattan Project and now a Remington Rand Inc. executive, plumped for Taft. "We want an American realist, not an internationalist, in the White House," he said.
P: Taft headquarters at Washington published results of a poll showing 55% of 1,028 Wall Street bankers and brokers for Eisenhower, 42% for Taft.
P: The Scripps-Howard chain of 19 newspapers across the nation plumped for General Eisenhower. Reason: "He is a warm, friendly, modest man, who may not know too much about politics, but knows a lot about what is good for the country . . . He is a natural and inspirational leader . . . He radiates hope and contagious confidence in America."
