GOP Accused
Of 'Rat Sewer'
Politic Tactics
WASHINGTON UP Democrats
hotly accused the GOP Friday of
"rat -sewer" politics and a con
tinuing "plot" to tag them all trai-;
tors, in defiance of President Eis
enhower's plea; to party followers
to avoid extreme partisanship.
The assistant Democratic leader
of the House, Rep. McCormack of
Massachusetts thundered out in a'
speech' on the floor that: j
"Accusing another party of treal
son. . . goes far beyond immorali
ty. Over and above our party poli
tics, we are all loyal Americans."
From Rep. Rabaut (D-Michf
came a demand that the President
put "teeth into his words" by oust
ing Leonard W. Hall as Republican
national chairman for his "part in
this plot to brand millions of Amer?
icans as traitors."
In Lincoln Day speeches around
the country, Republican orators
still kept hammering the Demo
crats and chanting praises of the
Eisenhower administration.
Even so. there were some signs
that the Eisenhower bid for more
temperate treatment of the opposi
tion was being heeded. ' J
Postmaster General Summerfield
hit at "the incredible mess inherit
ed from 20 years of Democrat mis
rule" and claimed the GOP hat
brought a "resurgence of public
faith in the integrity of govern
ment and the new crusading mor
ality in public service."

Backing Urged
Of Democrats
POCATELLO, Idaho The
Democratic Party should support
the high 'dam at Hells Canyon,
Stephen Mitchell, national party

of party workers at a luncheon
Friday., '
The building of Hells Canyon

for Idaho, Mitchell said, especially i
for development of phosphate de-l

Police here were searching for
two escaped convicts from the i
Washington reformatory at Mon

Clarence Young, store manager,

Young told police the gunman

while the accomplice forced a
woman clerk to help him empty
the registers.
Young added, "Then this guy
took the wrist watch off my wrist
the one my wife gave me for
an anniversary present."
The store's butcher called police
but they arrived too late.
Police identified the pair, being
sought as Ralph Elmer Lockerby,
a native of Boise, Idaho, and

Confederacy placed a wreath, at

the ceremony marking the 143th
birthday of the nation's l6th Pres

enough to hold a grudge," said
the wreath-layer. Col. John Virden.
"It's time old wounds were
healed," said Gen. Ulysses S.
Grant, 3d, grandson of the general
who led the Union forces to victory
over the Confederates nearly a
century ago.
President Eisenhower lent a hand
to the ceremony as he i placed a
gigantic wreath of red, white and
blue carnations at the base of the
celebrated Lincoln statue.
Immediately after the ceremony,
Eisenhower took off for a vaca
tion trip to Georgia. He paused
long enough to offer what ap
peared to be a prayer in com-
memoration of Lincoln.
The president stood bare-headed
,or a "ulc " l,lc L"fl"s ; euru-
ary wind as his naval and mill-
tary aides saluted the statue.
