...Lynn U. Stambaugh, 53, onetime (1941-42) National Commander of the American Legion. Trim, hearty Legionnaire Stambaugh, a successful Fargo lawyer and long-time advocate of U.S. participation in world affairs, has invested in 53 red-white-& -blue billboards for a high-pressure campaign.

He puttered around the International Typographical Union's stock farm, chumming up to Holstein-Friesian cattle. He chatted with the San Francisco Chronicle's bumptious young Editor Paul Smith. He talked campaign strategy with Colorado's Governor Carr, Iowa's farm-minded Governor Wilson, National Chairman...
...would not have you think for a single minute that there is permanent disaster in these Drought regions, or that the picture I saw meant depopulating these areas. No cracked earth, no blistering sun, no burning wind, no grasshoppers are a permanent match for the indomitable American farmers and stockmen and their wives and children...
