Later in the press conference, the President threw out a hint that the Secretary might have to leave Government for another, personal reason. Said he: "Mrs. Hobby placed me on notice some many months ago." (Her 77-year-old husband, Texas' ex-Governor William P. Hobby, has been seriously ill with arthritis.) "If she has to go," added Dwight Eisenhower, "I will be very, very disappointed . . . She has done a mighty magnificent...
Humming through Georgia one night in his brand-new Oldsmobile, Georgia's ex-Governor Herman Talmadge, on his way home from a rousing speech to some farmers, ran into one of his state's worst rural problems. Two stray mules suddenly loomed up before his car on the road. "I hit one and turned over," recalled Talmadge. "It killed the mule. I'm just a little bruised." His car was a total wreck.

Soon afterward, the offensive began to roll. Len Hall became a White House regular. Last month Ike appointed Arizona's ex-Governor Howard Pyle as administrative assistant in charge of patronage on federal-state projects. A few days later, he called in Washington's Governor Arthur Langlie to urge him to run against Democrat Warren Magnuson for the Senate in 1956. Last week Ike approved plans to talk personally to every Republican national committeeman, every member of the financial committee, every state chairman, and delegates from every major Republican women's group...
