Doc Signed by Gen Groves Director of Manhattan Project Supporting Richard Nixon

Description

LESLIE GROVES & RICHARD NIXON.
At the Republican National Convention in 1952, the Grand Old Party nominated war hero Dwight D. Eisenhower and selected the crusading anti-communist Senator Richard Nixon as its candidate for Vice President. Although Nixon at the time was the freshman senator from California he had become famous for attacking Alger Hiss as a communist spy. In mid-September 1952, the New York Post published a dispatch that a group of wealthy Californians had paid Senator Nixon between ,000 and ,000 since his election as senator. In order to survive the financial scandal, Senator Nixon asked for support from several prominent people. One of those individuals was
General Leslie Groves who oversaw the construction of the Pentagon and directed the Manhattan Project, a top secret research project that developed the atomic bomb during World War II.
