pressed the opinion that Pennsylvania

this state. He said he based this opin-

state headquarters and from what he
heard after consultation with officials

belief that the people of Pennsylvania
are satisfied with their national and
state governments and they are deter

the methods or the policies of the ma
tional or state government. They do
not want to have revolution in bust
ness, which change in the national
administration would inevitably bring

state administration presided over by
Governor Pennypacker.
