Stumping on Capitol Hill
Levin, Carl | August 14, 1948 issue

U.S. President Harry S. Truman's two-week refresher course on the evils of the Grand Old Party produced no surprises. All optimistic hopes for any really beneficial, non-political achievement from the special session of Congress were finally laid to rest today as Senators and Representatives rushed to ticket windows for passage to their homes and hustings. Except for the approval, at long last, of the $65,000,000 loan for the United Nations headquarters, the legislative by-products of the session are almost negligible. As far as the political in-fighting goes, the consensus here is that Truman, so far, is considerably ahead on points.
