...regular order of business began with an 8:30 breakfast with Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall. After Hall, in rapid order, came California's Senator Bill Knowland, Convention Chairman Joe Martin, Platform Committee Chairman Prescott Bush and a string of others, including Detroit's Mayor Albert Cobo, who is running for governor of Michigan. Dick Nixon's Republican critic, haggard Harold Stassen, appeared on the sixth floor, conferred for an hour and a half with Presidential Staff Chief Sherman Adams before seeing Ike for ten minutes. The immediate aftermath of Stassen's visit: the first live...
...they had found the formula and the man for the job. The formula: run someone against Williams who can whittle down his big edge in A.F.L.-C.I.O.-dominated Wayne County (Detroit), where approximately half of Michigan's voters live. The man: Detroit's respected mayor, Albert E. Cobo, 62, who in 20 years of public life has never lost an election. But before Cobo could take on Williams, he had to prove himself by running his first partisan race against the 1954 G.O.P. gubernatorial nominee, former police commissioner Donald S. Leonard...
...last week's primary Cobo won the 1956 nomination, rolled up 349,228 votes to Leonard's 158,203. On the Democratic ballot, the 45-year-old Williams, who thrashed Leonard with equal ease in the 1954 general election, got 418,432 votes in running unopposed for an unprecedented fifth term. Republican leaders found some comfort in the fact that in 75 of 144 key Detroit precincts-accurately used in the past to forecast election trends-Cobo ran well ahead of the 1954 G.O.P. ticket. To win in November, say the Republicans hopefully, Cobo needs only...
There is a stronger possibility that the G.O.P. may give him some headaches at home. Leading prospect for the Republican nomination for governor is Detroit's Mayor Albert E. (for Eugene) Cobo, 62, who has been elected in nonpartisan contests to seven terms as city treasurer and three as mayor. Cobo's supporters think that the popular mayor, who has always pulled a big vote in Democratic Detroit despite the opposition of Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers, might cut into the heart of Governor Williams' strength...
With a keen camera, Director Bunuel examines the piles of rubble, squalid hovels and garbage heaps where people scrounge for food like animals. The acting, by a cast that is largely amateur, is as nakedly authentic as the settings, particularly in the performance of Roberto Cobo as Jaibo, the frighteningly cruel leader of the gang, and Miguel Inclan as the old blind beggar who intones a litany of hate for the boys, "One less, one less," as Jaibo is shot down by the police...
