For the Record

Governor Christian Herter of Massachusetts (Stassen’s “light that failed”) has the inside track to replace John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State, according to well-placed Republican sources. They give Herter a better chance than either Thomas E. Dewey or U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Henry Cabot Lodge.

Jacob Javits’ victory in New York State (he trailed President Eisenhower by more than one million votes) is being interpreted as a vote of no confidence in Mr. Javits by the conservative Republicans who opposed his nomination. Analysis of the ballot shows that 500,000 New Yorkers who voted for Eisenhower also voted for Democratic candidate Robert Wagner. Another 100,000 Eisenhower supporters failed to vote for either Javits or Wagner . . . .The last minute drive to get a large write-in vote for General Douglas MacArthur apparently ran aground on the complicated mechanics of the write-in in New York voting machines. MacArthur officials have protested to the State Election Funds Bureau the alleged refusal of polling officials to instruct voters how to cast write-in ballots.
