Like Civil War Prints. General Walker appeared in his fast-moving, heavily armed, two-jeep convoy and ordered the attack speeded up. A U.S. night attack-hitherto a North Korean specialty-helped. As enemy frontal resistance lessened, headquarters spokesmen in Tokyo talked confidently of U.S. "pursuit," of an enemy "rout." This was an exaggeration.

At least, with Taft, the G.O.P. would be able-in fact forced -to make a frontal attack on all those issues which were slicked over and evaded in the G.O.P.'s overconfident 1948 campaign. Standing on such a hot and public spot, Mr. Republican in Ohio began the biggest fight of his political career...
