rose TO Nationwide fame when
he sided with Whitaker Cham

the decided advantage in turn
ing aside bitter criticisms with
calm. deliberate rebuttals.
Entered Politics in as
Mr.. Nixon entered politics in
1915 when Republican leaders
in his Southern California dis
trict issued a call for "a young.
energetic" man to oppose Re-
preventative Voorhis, New Deal
Democrat of the 18th district.
1 He proved himself an able
campaigner, fact which he has
substantiated several times since.
He won Mr.. Voorhis' seat with
a 15,500-vote majority.
BY 1948 he had made himself
a name back home and that year
cross filed under the California
primary law and received the
nomination of both parties
Soon after the election he
came to Nationwide prominence
as the man who broke the Alger
Hiss case" AS a member Of the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities, Mr.. Nixon decided
to look closer at obvious dis
crepancies between the testimony
of Chambers, a confessed former
Communist courier, and Hiss.
Hiss was brought to trial and
convicted OF perjury, earning
Mr.. Nixon the undying enmity
Of many who had put their
money" on Hiss.
In November. 1850. Mr.. Nixon
defeated for the Senate his Fair
Deal opponent. Representative
Helen Gahagan Douglas. by
more than 100000 votes.
Some Republicans. too, had
grown to dislike him. Harold e.
Stassen. presidential assistant for
disarmament, did his best this
summer to keep Mr.. Nixon of
the ticket as President Eisen-
hower's running mate, but 1t Just
didn't work. Then came the
Nixon campaign.
There's no doubt about it. The
new" Mr.. Nixon is likely TO be
in Washington for a long. long
time.

said. And if we don't face the

Several weeks ago, Calvin

The armory location and
other provisions of the new bill
outlined by Mr.. Mcleod mesh
with a number of proposals dis
cussed publicly in the past by
George Marshall. president OF
the Washington Redskins pro
football team.
Mr. Marshall, in a talk to
the Stadium Commission sew
eral months ago. proposed that
a new stadium should not have
a seating capacity of more than
$4,000. He also expressed GER
tainty that a bond issue would
be readily subscribed to sup

Mr.. Mcleod said it was felt
that the Armory Board. expert

armory, would be a logical agent
to run the new stadium. Its
