...G.O.P. machine, served only one term in Congress before being plowed under at the polls. His legal colleagues consider him a formidable opponent who hangs on like a bulldog in crossexamination. He has none of Ray Jenkins' color, flamboyance or diffusiveness. He is scarcely as humorous as Joseph Nye Welch; on the other hand, Chadwick may be better able than Welch to cope with Washington rough-and-tumble. Said one fellow Chester lawyer: "I can't imagine McCarthy getting Chad so riled up that he'd break down and cry." This week Chadwick went to Washington...

Part of it is political: Nye Bevan and his left-wing Socialists are setting up a hue and cry about "Guns for the Huns"-not bothering, of course, to point out that the Communists have already armed East Germany. In Lord Beaverbrook, the maverick Tory press lord, the Socialists have an unexpected ally. His big Daily Express (circ. 4,000,000) is so het up that it caricatures Chancellor Adenauer as a Mephistopheles surrounded by Junker (see cut), and not content with...
