From 40,000 diners around the circuit and from newspapers next day came a ripple of polite applause. But Republican professionals, anxiously listening, came away disappointed that the President himself had not been as partisan as his Staff Chief Sherman Adams, speaking in Minneapolis, or Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater, who laced the Democrats in Detroit (see below). The hard fact is that the party which controls the White House is going into its 1958 campaign in rare disarray, with no visible political direction from the top.

...from West Virginia, onetime Representative and governor whose acid-tongued criticism and flowery eulogies became congressional legends; of cancer., after long illness; in Bethesda. Md. A fiery New Dealer, Neely served (since 1949) as chairman of the Senate's District of Columbia Committee (Washington's "unofficial mayor"). Republican Governor Cecil H.
