...recession issue may help Democrat Paul Douglas, whose seat is one of the most doubtful on the Democratic list. On recession, Douglas has stuck his neck far out (TIME, Feb. 22), and a rise in employment between now and November will hurt him. Although he is unopposed in the primary, Douglas traveled 3,000 miles through northern and central Illinois last fortnight, made 24 speeches to some 20,000 voters.

Dunlop has his share of scars. He remembers the day in March, 1951, when he moved that the Wage Stabilization Board recommend a freeze of basic wage increases at ten percent, to stop the Korean inflation. When the motion passed, one of the labor members was so angry he stuck his fist through a plate glass window. Labor walked out on the board, Dunlop recalls, and its press denounced him as a tool of management. A year later, during the crippling steel strike, he voted to grant a union shop to the Basic Steel industry. For this he was blasted...
