"they are starting out now to de
stroy" the president.
not one of the opponents of the
bill could deny, Logan said, that the
report "has been ael&ed upon by
enemies of the president and used
a -campaign document for tin
origin of a new party to take over
the Republican party."
"Has It come to pass that when a
man disagrees with the president ol
the United Btstes on a fundamental
Issue he is .to be accused of trying
to destroy the president of the
United States?" Senator Wheeler (D.,
Mont.) asked angrily, .
Ha cited Senator Hatch (D., N M ),
Senator O'Mahoney (D.. Wyo.), Sen
a tor McCarran (O., Nev.) and other
opponents of the court plan as
"close personal friends of the presi
dent." Advocates Have Edge,
Before the second day of hard
hitting debate began, statements ot
support for the substitute court bill
