Manila, September 8, 1954—9 p.m.

Dulte 26. Department pass USUN NY priority. For Lodge from Secretary. I believe we should get Wan elected if you can do it without open campaign which could reasonably be interpreted as exertion of pressure. However, I think you should check with latest views in Department as I am not up to date.
