THOMAS J. DODD
Signed First Day Cover for a 20-cent air mail stamp
First Day Cover signed: "Thomas J. Dodd", 6x3½. FDC for an air mail stamp, postmarked New York, N.Y., November 22, 1968, 20-cent stamp affixed, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Thomas J. Dodd (1907-1971) was a special agent for the FBI and assistant to 5 US Attorneys General before serving as executive trial counsel at the Nuremberg war crimes trials, where he cross-examined several Nazi leaders and drafted indictments. Dodd, a Democrat, represented Connecticut for two terms in the US House (1953-1957). He lost a Senate bid to Republican Prescott Bush (George Bush's father) in 1956, but won the first of two Senate elections in 1958. In 1967, Dodd became one of only six Senators censured by the body in the 20th century, accused of diverting campaign funds for his personal use. Denied re-nomination as a Democrat in 1970, he ran as an independent, losing a 3-way race to Republican Lowell Weicker. His son, Christopher Dodd, has been a US Senator since 1980. Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso. Fine condition.
