...Louis, Stuart Symington, the Democratic nominee for Senator from Missouri, filed his expenses for a hard-fought campaign. The total: $15,070, which included $6.63 spent for a stepladder used to tack up campaign posters...

The following year he impounded a special $615 million Air Force appropriation voted by the 80th Congress to get jet plane orders rolling...
Ufford and Bill Goodman clinched the match as they had done against Amherst Wednesday, by whipping Squires and Symington in a three-set first doubles match. Rauh and Bossart easily won the third doubles after French and Watts had lost to Brownell and Norton...
