Parmentel Jr., Noel E. | November 17, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The Honorable Jacob Koppel Javits has scored a smashing upset victory over New York Mayor Robert F. Wagner, to succeed Hetbert Lehman as the Empire State's junior U. S. Senator. His victory must be counted as a personal triumph in view of the mayor's immense popularity and of the heavy Jewish vote in New York, most of which was completely alienated by Javits' strong stand against the Israeli-British-French invasion of Egypt. During the campaign it was stressed that Javits was born of poor, but honest immigrant parents on New York City's Lower East Side, the principal ghetto of this sprawling city.
