...week, to win a seat on both the town and county councils of Gifhorn. He was Brownshirt Wilhelm Schepmann, 58, last chief of staff of Hitler's Storm Troopers. Schepmann won easily, without even bothering to campaign. In other local elections in Lower Saxony the neo-Nazis campaigned on the slogan: "Stand fast. Remain German . . . We shall return." The Refugee Party, which had the Nazis' support, won 17% of the total vote...
...tremendous surprise. "Europe's reaction," wrote New York Times Columnist Anne O'Hare McCormick, "was colored by reports [which] created the impression that . . . Stevenson was not only a probable winner but the best if not the only hope of saving American foreign policy from 'neo-isolationism.'

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Senator Herbert Lehman have come out for Kennedy. And Governor Stevenson, who has said that he will not endorse Democrats whose...
...prey upon itself." The Communists could be counted on to exploit this possibility to the hilt-by wooing and threatening America's allies away from their allegiance. In the U.S., the Reds will appeal to "every smoldering prejudice," warning "with sly insinuation against British imperialism and German neo-Naziism, against the resurgence of Japanese trading combines or France's slowness in rearming." This "is a deadly challenge to the free world." Can it be met? Yes, said Eisenhower, for the West can defend itself by "unity and faith." "Unity is no simple precept. It is a complex...
