The big, smiling salesman for America in the UN has earned a reputation for talking back to the Communists in a way that hurts them most.  His frankness and courage have brought about a new concept of diplomacy in the UN and have enabled Lodge to outmaneuver the shrewdest of the Soviet propagandists.  The handsome, talented former senator—a war hero and birthright politician—was appointed by President Eisenhower last February as our country's chief delegate to the UN, wit the title of Ambassador.  Lodge has had the President's ear earlier and longer than anyone else—he ran the General's campaign brilliantly, but the cost of victory for the party was defeat for Lodge, the first of his career.  Born in Nahant, Massachusetts in 1902, Lodge is the lineal heir of six U. S. senators, a secretary of state, a secretary of the navy and a governor of Massachusetts.  In 1924 he graduated from Harvard cum laude and for the next seven years worked in New York, Washington and abroad as a reporter for the New York Herald-Tribune.  Lodge's political career began in 1932 when he was elected to the Massachusetts legislature and four years later he was elected to the U. S. Senate, being the only Republican in the nation to win a Senate seat from a Democrat in the Roosevelt landslide.  When World War II began, Lodge was a reserve officer and left the Senate to serve, although he was then forty and one of his sons was in the armed forces.  He was the first U. S. Senator since the Civil War to leave the Senate for military service.  The Senator-on-leave was in the first American force sent to join the British 8th Army fighting in Libya, and he emerged from the North African campaign a lieutenant colonel with four decorations and six battle stars.  In 1946 he was reelected to the U. S. Senate by a margin of 330,000 votes.  At the UN Lodge has earned recognition for his statesmanship and hard work, and feels that it is his job to see that we are not bested in the war of ideas.

President John J. McDonough will preside
