...first to challenge Candidate Dewey's version of history, he was not the only one to note the discrepancies. Fortnight ago Michigan's Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg, in his only speech of the campaign, gave Dewey full credit for agreeing to bipartisan liaison at the top level. But he admitted that the bipartisan approach "was first initiated informally in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee under the chairmanship of Democratic Senator Tom Connally of Texas." Ailing, 77-year-old Cordell Hull added a plague-on-both-your-parties footnote from a Bethesda, Md. hospital...
...Truman's face was drawn. There was no concealing that the Vinson bobble (TIME, Oct. 18) had hurt. But Truman strategists hoped that their candidate still had a Sunday punch which would knock Tom Dewey off his high pedestal and force him to fight on Truman's level...
Last week fast-moving ECAdministrator Paul Hoffman made a fast trip to Europe to try to stop the dismantlement and removal-for reparations-of industrial plants in Western Germany. Eastbound, he rode on the presidential plane with Secretary of State Marshall. ("It was," said Hoffman, "the highest-level hitchhike in history.")

He was natty in a dark blue suit but he needed...
...year ago the U.S., Britain and France agreed that Western German industry should be restored to about the 1936 level.

Meanwhile, in the U.S. Congress a feeling began to grow that plant removal was a wasteful business, that it might hinder the Marshall Plan and add to the U.S. taxpayer's burden. Hoffman wants to be able to tell Congress next year that waste has been minimized...
...Talk? For the couch treatment, patients must not only be supine but intelligent (with I.Q.s, many believe, of 115-120, about college level). Psychoanalysis works best on neuroses (most often of the upper income brackets); it is no good for most psychoses. Besides the protracted, cumbersome and expensive method of the couch, what specific treatments do psychiatrists use? The one that occupies most psychiatrists' time is face-to-face talks about the patients' here-&-now problems...
