Massachusetts State Minority Leader Charles Gibbons and State Representative Christopher H. Phillips '43 debated the Eisenhower-Taft presidential question in a joint meeting of the Harvard and Cambridge Republican Clubs.
Phillips represented Eisenhower, and Gibbons, Taft, in a discussion that centered around foreign policy Phillips argued that "no book writing can cover up Taft's voting record," and then listed five "short sighted" opinions of Tafts', ranging from his voting against the Selective Service Act in 1941, to his opposition of the Atlantic Pact Point Four, and Marshall Plan in more recent days.
