...allies. In fact, foreign aid has been drastically cut and the prospect is that it will be cut further. Use of the enormous military plant now seems to depend on the Communists. If they make a rash move, possibly the U.S. will be able to punish them; if they do not, the U.S. will go on paying blackmail to the threat of aggression at the rate of $750 per family per year...
...into a fighting machine instead of worrying about their ice-cream letters from home and U.S.O. shows. Part of his undeserved trouble can be blamed on the recently adopted Uniform Code of Military Justice which weakens the formal disciplinary powers of company-level officers and makes it necessary to punish any offense, if it is to be punished at all, at battalion-level court-martial.

Perhaps the most serious cleavage in the Republican party arises from the mishandling of the McCarthy issue by the White House staff, whose influence is believed to be responsible for goading President Eisenhower into the position of seeking deliberately to punish the Wisconsin Senator. For several months the direct and indirect attacks on Senator McCarthy at the President's press conferences have not gone unnoticed among Republicans who feel that the Wisconsin Senator has performed a service to his country. Literally millions of Republican voters think Senator McCarthy now is being persecuted not for a few intemperate remarks...
