...Rockefeller Foundation-backed American Film Center (headed by an old Hutchins colleague at Yale and Chicago, Donald Slesinger) has been working in the field. If such producers can overcome the hurdle of distribution problems, which defeated many earlier educational-film projects, they may lead in postwar developments.

One is Acting Leader Wallace White of Maine, who will get the job if the law of inertia applies. Another is Michigan's Arthur Vandenberg, first in line by seniority and prestige, who may refuse it in order to keep his individual freedom. Third choice, favored by the Party's Young Turks, is Ohio...
