Ike had attempted to toss responsibility for budget cutting back to Congress with his letter to House Speaker Sam Rayburn proposing minor cuts (TIME, April 29), but that tactic impressed neither Congressmen nor constituents. Now it was time for pressure on all fronts. Rallying point for the attack: the Republican platform...
...made a speech identifying the Treasury Department's onetime Director of Monetary Research Harry Dexter White as a Soviet agent, and strongly implying that Harry Truman was disloyal. Brownell now says: "I felt the matter was so serious that it had to be brought to public attention in fast and dramatic fashion."

Closing fast from almost last at the start was English-bred Gallant Man, ridden by California's great Willie Shoemaker. Driving for the wire, Gallant Man inched past Iron Liege. And then Jockey Shoemaker made a horrendous mistake. Thinking he had crossed the finish line, he eased off Gallant Man and stood up in the stirrups. It checked Gallant Man for an eye flick-and in that instant the issue...
