Dispatched Heckler. Returning to Washington, Ike next day headed a National Security Council meeting, prepared campaign treks: a one-day sortie into Virginia and Florida, another to Tennessee, Texas and Oklahoma.

There were several reports that holders of big blocks of the stock were pushing it on over-the-counter brokers at 15% under the market price. On the American Exchange the stock became...
