...senior Senator from Wisconsin, Republican Alexander Wiley has maintained an aloof attitude toward Joe McCarthy. When the U.S. Senate was voting to censure Wisconsin's junior Senator, the senior Senator was handily attending a conference in South America. Some of McCarthy's powerful Wisconsin friends who did not care for Wiley's attitude let it be known that they might try to beat him in the 1956 primary. Last week, the primary 18 months away, Wiley unexpectedly took a place at the speakers' table at the 50th anniversary dinner of the Knights of Columbus of Kenosha...

This seemed to prove that everybody except Langer has learned some lessons from George...

Ever since war's end, when automen started the great horsepower race in earnest, there have been complaints that safety was neglected for speed and power. Any further boost in either horsepower or size, cried New York Traffic Commissioner T. T. Wiley, would be "sheer madness." Auto makers have "gone on a horsepower jag . . . as insidious as dope." Added Denver's Traffic Engineer Jack Bruce: "We're running 300-h.p. cars on 50-h.p. streets." But despite the highway toll, the cold fact is that safety on the road is greater now than it was before World...

...that there were a lot of things before Congress at the time, and Congress wanted another year of study." Retorted Texan Johnson: "I know, but Mr. President, we did have that year of study and then another year of a study of the study." Unhelpfully, Wisconsin's Alexander Wiley reminded the President that the White House had "fixed up" the domestic watch industry, but had done nothing for Wisconsin cheese. Alarmed, Leverett Saltonstall spluttered that relief for his Massachusetts watchmakers had been long overdue. And Republican House Leader Charley Halleck added that, come what may, peril-point tariff protection...
