But ler said today that business is operating under a "myth that Republicans are better for busi ness than the Democrats." He said much New Deal legis lation has been "the protection, the salvation of business." But "when the political cycle now brings the Republicans back into power, they accept the gains and sometimes even claim the credit." Butler predicted in an address before the Executives club that more businessmen in 1956 "will evidence their belief that Demo cratic policies benefit them more than do those of the Republican party."
