Last week the front pages of Red China's newspapers blossomed with "popular demands" that the Chinese army push the "U.S. imperialists" out of Korea.

Organized labor's choice was Murray Lincoln, farm bureau leader, but labor failed to exercise enough push at the state convention to nominate its man.
