...presidential instructions, former Budget Director Joseph M. Dodge hastened back to Washington from his Detroit bank to undertake a sweeping review of "the entire field of cold war economic strategy." Secretary of State Dulles is pressing for a huge expansion of U.S. investments abroad; Foreign Operations Director Harold Stassen. whose department is slated to go out of business next summer, has proposed an ambitious scheme which is already being called "A Marshall Plan for Asia...
...full of plans, but they have yet to undergo a purification by budget. Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey, a hard man with a dollar and a weighty man in the Cabinet, is against any large-scale foreign spending; Banker Dodge thinks Harold Stassen's plans are dangerously dreamy.

Allott, a liberal Republican and onetime Stassen-for-President booster, scored a minor upset by trouncing ex-Congressman John Carroll. Among the other senatorial newcomers...
...Eisenhower invited him to the White House and endorsed Case as exactly the kind of candidate the Republicans should have. Then the Republican National Committee sent National Chairman Leonard Hall, Vice President Richard Nixon, House Speaker Joseph Martin, Pennsylvania's Senator Ed Martin and Foreign Operations Administrator Harold Stassen to New Jersey to speak up for Case. Indignantly, old (80) former Governor Walter Edge came charging out of retirement to defend Case against the "party wreckers."
