...Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas Murray. The real danger to the U.S. today, said Murray, is not all-out war, for which the U.S. already has big hydrogen weapons "beyond rational bounds," but a series of Red-started limited wars in which the Communists might inflict "a kind of piecemeal defeat." In such wars, said Murray, the U.S. would need "great numbers of tactical nuclear weapons of low-kiloton yield.

He proclaimed that 1) Nixon was "the principal architect of defeat" in 1958; 2) Nelson Rockefeller, suddenly alone among Stassen's four alternatives, was "the man the Republican Party should nominate in 1960 in order to win"; 3) Pennsylvania's 70-odd-vote delegation to the G.O.P. convention in 1960 should be led either by Senator-elect Hugh Scott or by Harold Edward Stassen.

There are many ways to get around them. In Virginia unionists in the building trades have found a simple way to defeat the anti-closed-shop provisions of the state law: when a nonunion member shows up on a construction job, union members just get "sick" until he is fired. Union growth has hardly been hampered. Since the Virginia law was passed in 1947, union membership has grown from...
