Politics Tilt the headlines this
week with Harold E. Stassen mak
ing his first bid for the republican
presidential nomination in 1948
and Ohio's Senator John Bricker
making a faux pas by the minute
and, according to the boys in the
know, killing any chances he ever
had for the high office.
Stassen, speaking at a news con
ference, said he would attempt a
'definitive, constructive and pro
gressive program" aimed at steer
ing the GOP on a "truly liberal
path." This news, greeted by
some as premature, served notice
on the party old guard that the
former Minnesota governor had no
idea of letting the political lead get
away from him.
Accused of affronting: good taste
with his vehement attack on Presi
dent Truman, Bricker's appear

After deriding the president for
his part In the recent campaigns,
Ohio's fair-haired senator-elect
shocked the traditionally sporting
minded Washington group by
poking fan at Troman'i loss of
his own state.
The previous night had seen
Bricker putting his foot in his
mouth at an Ohio State Alumni
association dinner with the spar
kling comment that "Ohio State
university, like other universities,
is indoctrinated with un-American
philosophy. Evidently no one had
told John that it isnt Postetti

Now the republicans have some
one who can give Harry a run for
his money.
John Lund has learned about
old type iairplanes as a result of
the Broadway star's first two
