THE GENTLEMAN HAS PLANS:
Recently Harold Stassen, unsuccessful candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 1948, wrote a letter to Premier Stalin asking a conference to stop what he termed, "the dangerous trend toward war", according to a recent release.
We frankly doubt the sincerity of Mr. Stassen, seeing how his party blasted Henry Wallace when he attempted to embark on a similar mission.
Could it be that Stassen is seeking the limelight and public favor with an eye on the 1952 presidential nomination?
