She made the statement in
answering a telegram sent to the

former Republican House member
from New York, in which he
charged that Dewey satellites are
using the committee to advance
the Eisenhower cause.

Macy is obviously uninformed. y
She said the Ohio investigation
was initiated in January, 1851
before She or Senator HendrickSon

She said the Ohio hearings would

added, Il have never committed
myself to the potential Eisenhower
candidacy in any way, shape
fashion or form-nor to the candi-
dacy of any one for President prior
to nomination. either for 1852 or
1948. In contrast, the record
shows that I have granted every
