- Description:
- Congressman Richard Nixon is running for United States Senator against Congresswoman Helen Douglas in a hotly contested race in California. The differences between the two candidates include their political philosophies, with Nixon being a moderate conservative and Douglas being a radical. Nixon's campaign has highlighted Douglas' voting record aligning with a Communist-line congressman, leading to criticism from Democratic and Republican leaders. Nixon also called for Secretary of State Acheson's resignation, citing a loss of confidence among the people. He appealed for new leadership in foreign relations that both parties can support.
