...Washington's Mayflower Hotel one morning last week, tweedy David Sinton Ingalls lit up his pipe, grinned at the politicians gathered in his room and called the meeting to order. For twelve hours, the top men in Bob Taft's campaign sat in solemn conclave, point by point, then laid plans for Taft trips to the South, the Northwest and Texas, agreed on strategy for this month's meeting of the G.O.P.

With her was a smart blond translator, a huge Russian MVD guard, and two solemn Tass reporters. Everybody was at the station to meet her except Mrs. Weston. The mayor said his wife had a cold, but gossips called it a diplomatic illness. Next day, to give gossips the lie, Mayoress Weston put on her hat, went to see Murashkina at her flat, accompanied...
