...unions to hold secret ballot elections at least once every five years, report to the Government on where the money comes from and goes. Kennedy managed to draft a bill that was both 1) hard-knuckled enough to win the indispensable endorsement of Arkansas' labor-investigating John Mc-Clellan, and 2) so kid-gloved that the A.F.L.-C.I.O. does not plan to denounce it. The lone committee naysayer: Arizona's right-wing Republican Barry Goldwater, who called the Kennedy bill "milk toast," vowed to serve up his own hardtack substitute on the Senate floor.

Child in a Hurry. John Joseph Gunther was born Aug. 3, 1901, in North Side Chicago. From his father, Eugene Mc-Clellan Gunther, a convivial drifter, he inherited big-boned bulk and heroic alcoholic capacity. From their schoolteacher-mother, Lisette Schoeninger Gunther, John and sister Jean took on lifelong respect for book learning.

But the evidence against them was there nonetheless. It added up to another chapter of the story of how mobsters took over segments...
Lausche, who has been politely mentioned as a presidential possibility by such powerful Southern Democrats as Georgia's Richard Russell and Arkansas' John Mc-Clellan, turned his thoughts only momentarily toward Paul Butler. "My strength," explained the five-term governor, as if to the inexperienced and the young, "has been that no one has been able to dictate to me-bankers on down to labor leaders, strip miners, truckers, the utilities and the whole raft of them...
...Arkansas Democrat John Mc-Clellan, the investigators said they hoped frankly that gentle Hugh Cross, hitherto a highly reputable public servant, would resign. Hugh Cross decided last week not to stay and fight. In a letter of resignation to President Eisenhower, he called the still-fuzzy charges against him "baseless." Wrote he: "I am realistic enough to know that, unfounded as they are, the mere pendency of such charges impairs my further service on the commission and its proper functioning in the public interest." Replying that he appreciated "the years of diligent service you have rendered." the President accepted star...
