...measure of Ike's seriousness is that able Arthur Larson, who articulated the philosophy of Modern Republicanism (A Republican Looks at His Party), has long ranked high in presidential esteem. As director of the U.S. Information Agency, Scholar Larson was cut up by the long knives of politics on Capitol Hill (TIME, Oct. 28). But his credentials in the law area are hard to beat. A Rhodes scholar who took honors in jurisprudence at Oxford (B.S., M.A.). he rose from a Milwaukee practice to dean of the University of Pittsburgh Law School, was appointed Under Secretary of Labor because...

Without pretense of being an editorial man, he demands competent reporting and clean writing. He keeps a sharp eye on the budget, but is apt to increase editorial funds in the hope of returns in the form of added circulation...
Audible opposition to the bills dwindled to a few old congressional voices, e.g., New York's Republican Representative Ralph W. Gwinn, and a few organizations that have long opposed federal aid to education, e.g., the National Association of Manufacturers and the Chamber of Commerce. Among this session's most emphatic backers of federal aid legislation have been Marion Folsom, outgoing Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare; Detlev Bronk, president of the National Academy of Sciences; Missileman Wernher von Braun; and the National Education Association (which, predictably, wants a vastly larger program than any that stands a chance...
