Butler Well Ahead of Other Democrats in Criticizing President Chicago (U.R) National Chairman Paul Butler was well ahead of Democratic 1 congres sional leaders Saturday; in pub licly criticizing President Eisenhower.

Mora Selective- Democrats in Congress prob ably will be more selective and cautious than Butler in critic izing the . President.
