Aftermath
Sir:
Now is the time for all good Republicans to go into hiding.
(MRS.) MARY Z. WALTERS Indianapolis
Sir:
It is now quite evident that the American electorate has chosen a typical "New Deal" Congress to represent us in Washington. It is also quite evident that the same American electorate desires more and more socialistic legislation.
Why not declare a welfare state in the U.S. and get it over with ?
JEAN DE MEO New Haven, Conn.
Sir:
On Nov. 4, the Republican Party reaped its retribution for the use of bayonets at Little Rock.
W. G. ESPY Dothan, Ala.
Sir:
Justice has triumphed! Two traitors have been punished partially: De Sapio for the Democrats and Knowland for the Republicans. When people forsake their parties for personal gain, they should be thrown out of the party.
FRANKLYN W. KELLEY North Hollywood, Calif.
Sir:
If the people of New York State expressed their revulsion and rebellion by repudiating "bossism" at the polls, it cannot be denied that Mr. Harriman's vacillating character and Mayor Wagner's indecisiveness were also repudiated. If Tammany Hall Carmine De Sapio slaughtered the ceremonial pig on which Mr. Rockefeller dined, Governor Harriman and Mayor Wagner served it to him on a sterling silver tray, with an apple in its mouth.
A. L. LAURICELLA New York City
Sir:
Down with the blintz-munching, spaghetti-slurping, model-T-riding, cow-milking, let-me-shake-your-wonderful-hand type of campaigner. Why not restrict these grotesque acts of idiocy to the first week of September, requiring thereafter that candidates think and speak?
PETER G. EARLE
Princeton, NJ.
Sir:
Heartfelt congratulations to New York State for giving to Nelson Rockefeller such a large welcoming majority. He is such an unselfish, well-bred man, and rich. He can afford to be generous even to his opponents. We would certainly elect him, providing he wants the job, President.
MRS. M. M. HUNTINGTON
Damariscotta, Me.
Man of the Year
Sir:
Charles de Gaulle or Orval Faubus. De Gaulle will be remembered for leading his country from chaos to what should be a self-sustaining nation in the eyes of the world; Faubus will be remembered for leading his state from frustration to chaos to attain personal glory at the expense of thousands of Arkansas citizens who would have otherwise swallowed the integration pill along with their tradition and pride as law-abiding people.
ALBERT 0. SONNENBERG Kingston, N.Y.
Sir:
If not De Gaulle—Pasternak!
RICHARD BEERS Northfield, Vt.
Sir:
Fidel Castro. He happens to be the only man still fighting for his freedom.
CUTHBERT J. TWILLEY Moline, ILL.
Sir:
William Knowland—who, by his supporting lost causes, not voting in favor of the McCarthy censure, and his political immaturity, as shown by the recent election, has ruined the Republican Party in California for sure.
RALPH P. SYMONS Los Angeles
Sir:
