For the Record

NATIONAL REVIEW has learned from an authoritative source that the money with which Stassen’s campaign to unhorse Nixon was launched came through Paul G. Hoffman.

The Republican platform committee, which started its deliberations last week-end, is expected to soft-pedal the civil rights issue, come out strong for the “partnership” principle in the development of natural resources, place a balanced budget ahead of any important tax cuts, and stand by the principle of flexible price supports. The tone will be set by the GOP slogan of “Peace, Progress and Prosperity.” . . . Senator Barry Goldwater, alarmed by Labor Secretary Mitchell’s open espousal of the union shop, is fighting for the insertion of a “right to work” plank. … Senator Knowland wasted no time in pointing out that Democratic Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn’s charge that the Eisenhower program in Congress got a bigger assist from Democratic than from Republican legislators just wasn’t so. Knowland says the Republicans outscored the Democrats 9 to 5. … An insurance broker who describes himself as “a staunch independent who voted for Gen. Eisenhower in 1952” is ready to insure the President’ s life for $1,-000,000. The premium, according to the actuaries, would run between $175,000 and $200,-000 a year.
