They are the men who have been covering the campaigns of the leading Republican candidates (e.g., the Chicago office's Jim Bell, who has been with Harold Stassen; Boston's Jeff Wylie, who will be with Governor Dewey, San Francisco's Fritz Goodwin, who arrives with Governor Warren), and Frank McNaughton, our chief Congressional correspondent and chairman of the Periodical Correspondents' Association executive committee, who has been close to Senators Vandenberg and Taft...
...Army organizations. It did provide for citizenship after five years, and it brought a new flood of applications to U.S. embassies from Copenhagen to Rome.
