Ushered in to Dewey, the colonel produced a second sealed envelope, this one containing a lengthy dispatch from Marshall. After reading the first two paragraphs, which warned that disclosure of the contents might impede the U.S. war effort, Dewey silently folded the document, put it back in the envelope and returned it to the colonel. He explained that he did not want to be bound in discussing important campaign issues. Two days later, in Albany, the colonel approached Dewey with a dispatch almost identical to the one he had refused to read in Tulsa...
...with pride to the achievements of the last 3½ years, and broad-brushed plans for the future. In only one respect did the Platform Committee turn down a strong presidential hint: instead of the short, concise statement he would have liked, Ike and the G.O.P. delegates got a document of 13,500 words, twice the length of the 1952 Republican platform. 1,500 words longer than the 1956 Democratic effort...

The issue has been synthetically whooped up by Filipino nationalists and complicated by maladroit handling by U.S. authorities in the Philippines and in Washington. The Philippines Act of Independence of 1934 gave the U.S. the right to maintain bases there after the islands became independent. In 1947, a year after actual independence was granted, 23 such areas were defined, only three of them major: Clark Air Field, 50 miles north of Manila; the Navy's Subic Bay installations on the northwest...
