...seats are considered sure for the Republicans. Maine has already had its state contest, elected Governor Frederick G. Payne to the Senate. California nominated Republican Senator William F. Knowland on both the Republican and Democratic tickets. In Nebraska, Senator Hugh Butler is sure of re-election and ex-Governor Dwight Griswold is certain to win the late Kenneth Wherry's unexpired term. Vermont's Ralph Flanders, North Dakota's William Langer and Minnesota's Edward Thye are in no danger. Senators Irving Ives of New York and John Bricker of Ohio are far ahead...

His "this summer" phrase seemed calculated only to leave the door open for an entrance into the presidential picture...
Nevertheless, ex-Governor Arnall, who knows all the advantages of patronage, particularly in an election year, showed no signs of firing any of OPS's horde of 11,796 employees, even if many of them had little left to do. Arnall's office warned that prices might go creeping up again, so everybody would have to stand by ready to whack them if they got back to the level of the suspended ceilings...
