...Leader Wallace White, he was ready to cast his vote against Lilienthal as "temperamentally unfitted to head any important Government agency." Said he: "Lilienthal is a typical power-hungry bureaucrat, one of the group of men who . . . have defied Congress . . . have attempted to stretch their powers far beyond the limit of statutes...
...secrets feature of the report which emphasized the need for security at each stage of expanding international control.

...argument that a President in his third term will be in a position to establish a dictatorship contains little logic when it is considered that the same man would have had ample time to do so in his first two terms. Furthermore, if this limitation is enacted, any such evil-minded chief executive will not thus be frustrated in his attempt. He will merely have to hasten it so that the coup falls within his allotted two terms. No president with serious dictatorial designs will permit a constitutional article or amendment to stand in the way of fulfilling his plans...
