Senator Lodges address today
was, in one respect, in direct con-
trast to that delivered here last

Senator Lodge cast no stones
at other Republican presidential

tor Taft's nomination an invid-
ious comparison of his candidate
with an unnamed candidate, to
be sure, but a comparison which
his hearers regarded as an at
tack on Gen. Eisenhower. He
said:

bare dinner plate today.

ration-one shilling five pence
