...masterminded by G.M. What particularly bothered the U.A.W. chieftain was the refusal by G.M. and Chrysler to extend their union contracts be yond last week's expiration date. While assuring the union that his company had "no intention to lock out its employees," G.M. Vice President Louis G. Seaton declared flatly: "There is no possibility of settlement.

On the eve of the G.O.P. meeting, Nebraska's Fred Seaton, Interior Secretary under President Eisenhower, sent letters to all committeemen and state chairmen eulogizing Nixon as "the single Republican with the stature, the requisite abilities and the qualities of leadership essential to unite us and maintain our current momentum." More discreetly, Nixon fanciers were hard at work clearing the track for their...
