...Harshest? But for all such doubts and disagreements, there was an air of somnolence about the debate. In the first couple of days, the biggest attraction was Actress Marlene Dietrich, who turned up for a while in the gallery. Rhode Island Democrat John Pastore, chairman of the Joint Atomic Energy Committee, wasted a fiery speech on a near-empty chamber. Pastore passionately flung open his blue blazer, clapped his hand over his chest and declared: "I say to those who have doubts about the treaty that I want them to open their hearts and look into their consciences.

Mississippi Democrat John Stennis, another influential member of the Armed Services Committee, also announced that he would definitely vote against ratification.

In 1948 and again in 1950, Cattleman Smith unsuccessfully sought the nomination as Democratic candidate for Arizona Governor-and in neither case did he get any help from Phoenix's two Republican papers. Last year Mecham, running against Arizona's patriarchal U.S. Senator, Democrat Carl Hayden, was the only Republican on the ticket that the two papers did not endorse. Mecham lost...
