the cost of food, clothing and shel

and Jobs, and schooling and health.
"It is a program that does not
deal in pie-in-the-sky promises to
all, nor in bribes to a few, nor in
threats to any. It is a program
inspired by zeal for the common
good, dedicated to the welfare of
every American family,” Eisen
hower said.
Details of the president's pro
gram will come Thursday when he
delivers his State of the Union
message to Congress.
Republicans have generally
praised Eisenhower's speech, but
some Democrats have called for
immediate action against a possi
