Elsewhere, Franklin D. Roosevelt '04, candidate for governor of New York, spoke in the Union, was later swept into the Albany State House, and returned to the Yard in the spring to deliver the Phi Beta Kappa oration. Herbert Hoover was not so generous with his time; he was able to speak for only a few minutes on his way through the Square, but, in a CRIMSON-sponsored poll of the University, he was found to be the most popular candidate among Harvard men anyway...
Wise old Albert E. Hart '80, Eaton Professor of Government, solemnly announced that he was "strong for Hoover" because "the most important thing is that he is a real businessman and knows our economic situation perfectly." It is hoped that if Hoover had known the political situation at Harvard, he would not have been pleased: the Hoover-for-President Club was found to be padding its membership rolls and placing on it signatures of non-Hoover supporters.

He is considered a bellwether of the far right, but, while many of his views...
...Senate, adroitly led by Chief Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson (see below), defied tradition by not only refusing to restore House cuts but cutting even deeper. (One surprising victim: J. Edgar Hoover's almost sacrosanct Federal Bureau of Investigation, clipped some $150,000.) And with the Republican leadership sitting back in amused tolerance, Johnson & Co. turned with special glee on the President's pet program for fighting the propaganda war against Communism, the U.S. Information Agency. The Senate not only accepted the House's $38 million cut in USIA's $144 million request (which Ike publicly called...
