...White House and endorsed Case as exactly the kind of candidate the Republicans should have. Then the Republican National Committee sent National Chairman Leonard Hall, Vice President Richard Nixon, House Speaker Joseph Martin, Pennsylvania's Senator Ed Martin and Foreign Operations Administrator Harold Stassen to New Jersey to speak up for Case. Indignantly, old (80) former Governor Walter Edge came charging out of retirement to defend Case against the "party wreckers." Probable net result of the whole Republican anti-Case movement: a noisy backfire, a net gain for Case...
Innocence by Disassociation. But Candidate Case has had trouble with another issue that turns one way in the nation, another in New Jersey: corruption. Nationally, the most important corruption issue at the height of the campaign is the Federal Housing Administration scandal, a hangover from a Democratic Administration. In New Jersey the old mess in Trenton overshadows the old mess in Washington. Democrats are constantly and joyfully reminding the Republicans and the voters that one recent Republican governor (Harold G.

At least six generations of Cases have lived in New Jersey. Clifford's great-grandfather, Peter Case, was a court crier in Somerset County a century ago. His uncle, Clarence E. Case, now living in retirement in Somerville, was a state senator and for 23 years a State Supreme Court Justice...
...mother (now a spry 75, still lives in Poughkeepsie) could muster part of the money, and Clifford made the rest by working at odd jobs, which included playing the pipe organ at churches on Sunday. In his junior year, Clifford met Ruth Miriam Smith, a freshman at the New Jersey College for Women. They were married four years later, now have two daughters, a son and one granddaughter, who calls her grandfather by a nickname that has clung to him since his childhood: "Buddy...
