| Description | Editorial cartoon shows an angry motorcycle police officer labeled "Senate" walking toward a banged-up car driven by Lewis L. Strauss who is angry at being pulled-over; his tire tracks labeled "AEC Record" and "Testimony" swerve all over the roadway and off the road, hitting signs, people, buildings and fences, before coming to a stop; the badly damaged car is labeled "Erpf Conflict of Interest" and "Strauss Nomination" (Armand G. Erpf was a partner in the same N.Y. investment firm as Strauss). President Eisenhower had nominated Strauss for the cabinet position of Secretary of Commerce, however, there was sufficient opposition in the Senate to deny Strauss the confirmation. |
