Harold Mitchell's organization again carried the day. Ex-Congressman Joseph Talbot, a Roman Catholic, was named, without competition, to run against Catholic Senator Brien McMahon, who had done his best to identify himself with an atomic peace (he is chairman of the Joint Atomic Energy Committee...
