Truman was appearing before the House Banking and Currency Committee to prescribe a damn-the-deficits recession cure: a $5 billion tax cut, plus plenty of extra federal spending. Iowa's Republican Representative Henry O. Talle reminded him of the 1950 remark on unemployment. Snapped Harry Truman: "That exclusive interview never happened. It came...
...pronounced the text "accurate in every detail." Furthermore, at his press conference shortly after the interview ran in the Times, Truman had tartly defended a President's right to give an exclusive interview if he felt like it. The committee's Democrats tried to block a Republican attempt to get Krock's reply in the record...
Angry Rival. "Pete" Williams' margin was narrow, but it left no doubt that Meyner is now in command of the Jersey Democrats. At the beginning of the campaign, Williams, a personable, articulate Oberlin and Columbia law graduate who was twice elected to Congress from normally Republican Union County, was a vote-drawing favorite. Then dissident Democrats in boss-ridden Hudson County broke with Meyner over patronage. Against Williams they put up John J. Grogan, 44, mayor of Hoboken and president of the Shipbuilders Union. Williams' hopes were dimmed further when New Jersey's un-merged A.F.L...
...Enemies. In November, Williams will be up against ten-term Congressman Robert Winthrop Kean (rhymes with pane), 64, the Republican winner.

...Republican Kean is favored in the general election despite Democratic tides and anti-Republican recession rumbles. During 20 years in Congress, he has made few New Jersey enemies, won friends in both business and labor as a liberal but cautious tax expert, social security advocate and fighter for such Administration measures as reciprocal trade and foreign aid. Meyner Man Williams, nominated without Hudson County in the primary, needs a whopping Democratic vote from Hudson County to overcome a G.O.P. opponent in nominally Republican New Jersey. But Pete Williams' hopes are high, since he knows the unexpected power...
