...ex-Congressman from Kentucky, an ex-Justice of the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, Fred Vinson is still best remembered for his hard, intelligent work on tax bills in the House. As Jimmy Byrnes's successor in OES, he has worked mightily to hold the line against inflation. An easygoing man with a quiet disdain of officious fuss-&-feathers, he was sure to be confirmed by the Senate: he is the archtype of the middle-of-the-road, politically wise New Dealer...
Tripartite. In Milwaukee's normally Republican, heavily German Fifth District, isolationist ex-Congressman Lewis Thill was trounced by six-foot, ruddy Andrew Biemiller, 38, a man of three parties. Biemiller was first a campaign manager for Socialist Norman Thomas in 1932; then a Progressive floor leader in Wisconsin in 1541; a Democratic jobholder ($4,600 a year in WPB) until he ran for Congress...

For a solution, much depended on the character of the man appointed to head OPRD. WPBoss Nelson has neatly avoided...
...Republican primary the choice lies between a 57-year-old bachelor, Wellington D. Rankin (brother of pacifist Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin) and Jew-baiting, Fascist-minded ex-Congressman Jacob Thorkelson. Ignored by Montana's larger city newspapers, Jakie Thorkelson has conducted a busy rural campaign. His "issue": international bankers. All signs pointed to Rankin's nomination...
