Also commenting about his role in the US senate, Moser, (2001) said that most of his colleagues in the Senate used to look at him as an obstructionist because he had a tough mind that needed strong argument to influence. He was difficult to be swayed. A case in point was during World War II when one intelligent official from Britain described him as one with a tough mind. He again manifested this tendency of his during Harry Truman administration during the cold war when he openly criticized him.
