...determination to defend itself and Western civilization against the political and military forces of Communism." (She failed in an effort to get a Republican nomination in Connecticut for U.S. Senator.) In all, she delivered 47 radio and TV speeches during the Eisenhower campaign. The most effective: a coast-to-coast telecast on the Administration's record on Communism in Government. Into her speech she cut newsreel clips and phonograph records of testimony from Whittaker Chambers, Communist Nathan Gregory Silvermaster and others...
...proved that a religious TV show could put a dent even in Milton Berle's huge audience. Among the impressed observers was President Ross Siragusa of Admiral Corp., maker of radio and TV sets.

He described the force of aggressive Communism, which with "America as its final and chief target" had steadily moved closer "to the sources of supply on which our existence depends." Earnestly he denounced "those who assert that America can live solely within its own borders...
...poison pen pals of the U.S., who began smearing Ike Eisenhower more or less covertly before the New Hampshire primary, were hard at work last week on an around-the-clock, coast-to-coast basis. In Washington, Los Angeles, Seattle, St. Louis, Chicago and New York, the smudgy little dodgers, the slick pamphlets and the "confidential" newsletters oozed a campaign of character assassination such as the U.S. has not seen since the 1928 campaign against Alfred E.
