Tr.e wjrtijL Arm chief of 'iuff Geyr fcoice in January from C'mr.a, where he had been embas sador, to find the Senate unani :moaiiy had approved hii appoint ment ai htad of the State Depen dent. From then on throughout !the year he remained almost con stantly in the headlinet, causing most editors to place him ahead of President Harry S. Truman In the Iman-of-the-rear category. Headll'- S'art Early In the foreign affairs depart ment Marshall had no competi tion. Only a scattering few of the editors named anyone elr:. Marshall was sworn in Jan. 21 and moved quietly to reorganize the department and transfer its principal offices into mother building. He was off to Moscow and the crucial Foreign Minister's iConferer.ee M:Th 5. Tr.e Hun garian crisis and the easing of j strained U. S. relation! with Ar gentina came i May and June after his return. In a talk at Harvard University June 5 he gave the first outlines al his aid-to-Euror. program wmch came to be krown as the Marshall plan. August 13, he started for the Rio conference at which the inter-American defense I program was approved. The Unit ed Nations Assembly meeting started Sept. 16 ana approved Marshall's "Little Assembly" plan. Nov. 11, h- started for London and the second round of the For eign Minister's Conference. HONS' nn FRIDAY-SATURDAY Taft Leads rolttkUa Sen. Robert A. Taft was tie overwhelming ehoice of AP edi tors as the ouir-and:n- politic' figure ef 147. When Congress convened in January he was, and remained, one of the leaden ef the new Republican majority In the Senate. His tafluer.ee vu viul in W handling of all important legisla tion. 3ut it was as chairman of the Ser.a'.e Labor Committee that he sponsored and forced through the Taft-Hartley Law over the oppo sition of ail the leading labor lead ers of the nation ard the veto of President Trun an. Demons untiens Frequent This law had ftrsonal reper cussions for Taft when labor pick ets appeared outside almost all the meetings at which he spoke on a political tour I.-. th rummer and fall. He was good natured about the demonstrations, calling one ' jthem "our usual reception." j His formal announcement Oct. 23 of bis candidacy for the Repub lican nomination for President came as no surprise, j Victory In Union Walter P. Reuther wij selected as the outstanding man in Labor, i More than twice as many editors chose him as voted for John L. j Lewis. Reulher's spectacular vic tory in the November convention iof the giant United Auto Workers' I Union when his slate of officers 'was elected was the evei.t which caught editors' eyes. Reuther had annou- aed that his program was I designed to eliminate Communis' tic elements from the union. Reuther announced, however that his union victory would .esri no weakening of policy in its ef forts to improve working eond'.- i lions in the automobile industry. Kaiser Selected Henry J. Kaiser, auto manufac turer, ship builder, steel master, whose big en-rprfses it'.nued to make news in 1947, nosed out Henry Ford II as the industrial leader of the year in the opinion of the editors. In addition to Kai ser and Ford, many of the editors voted for other industrial leacers, notably Howard Hughes and Rob ert Young. The uncertainty of the editors in the industrial field reflected the efforts of the nation's production leaders to reach full stride with post-war shortages and other dif ficulties a continuing handicap. Scattered Vote In the entertainment field, the vote was even more widely scat, tered. Bmg Crosby was first in the balloting, but the groaner was hard pressed in the voting by In grid Bergman and Bob Hope. Al most a score of other entertain ment celebrities were among those considered outstan'-ig by some of the editors. Selecting Crosby, the editors showed a sense of balance in a fa mous radio "feud." They picked Hope last year. Hope and Crosby, best of friends '-i private life, for years have been sniping at each other over the air waves Author Hailed . In literature, Andre Gide, French Nobel prize winner, was thj choice, lie is known in this country principally as a novelist although his reputation as a poet and philosopher is equally strong in his V.lve country.
