Seniority

[edit]

Justification for the seniority is "Maryland 24th in population". The Senator was a Michigander; I suspect the claim that MD war 24th in population probably is correct, yet Michigan should have been higher. It doesn't alter materially the seniority in that year but I suggest that "Maryland" be corrected conjointly with its rang in population. AugoKnoke (talk) 10:24, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Action Photograph of Sen. McNamara

[edit]

Is there a way to put the photo from this source into the article? It looks like a news service photograph, so a better quality image probably exists.


"SENATE APPROVES FIVE-CENT LETTERS". leominster.advantage-preservation.com. Leominster, Massachusetts: Leominster Daily Enterprise. 28 February 1958. p. 1 (col. 2). Retrieved 2024-12-10. Sen. Pat McNamara (D-Mich.) shows how he tossed a pile of "junk mail" into the air on the Senate floor in Washington. He spoke against the Post Office Department's proposal for a five-cent letter rate and the present third class (junk mail) rates. Later, the Senate voted 49 to 42 to accept President Eisenhower's proposal for a five-cent stamp on non-local letters, limiting it to three years.
