MrCormark t.MaM.) and Houe Republican leader 4oeph W". .Martin Jr. five their view on what the new CAnjre. whlrn con vene, today will accomplish. By HEP. JOHN. W. MCCORMACK Democratic House La a dor Written For United Press Washington (U.R) The 1956 national and state elections showed unusual political results . a political phenomenum. The i election showed a mandate to 'the President, personally, and a mandate to the Democratic party, politically. On a political basis, the people clearly showed they believed in ihe policies of the Democratic party. The Democratic party in Con gress will assume its mandate from the people. We will serve the people constructively during the 85th Congress. The Democratic party is not a party of blind opposition. We will continue to support Presi dent Eisenhower in any recom mendations for the national and best interests of our country. When we oppose, we shall do so constructively, stating our rea sons, and where there is dis agreement as to methods, we will constructively propose a substitute. Action And Success I expect, due to progressive Democratic policy, that the next Congress will be an active and successful one. While we Demo crats will cooperate with Presi dent Eisenhower, we expect co operation on his part and from the Republican party. In order to get through some Important legislation. President Eisenhower himself will have to take a more active and direct interest with the members of his own party. If there is team-work on the part of President Eisen hower with the Democratic lead ership, a great deal will be ac complished. I look for 1957 to be a very important year from the angle of international affairs. I look for many more tensions created by the Kremlin and Red China. To meet the trying problems of 1957, we must have firm and consistent leadership in the White House, for the president Is the repository of foreign poli cy under our form of govern ment. The Democratic party will support measures of strength in national defense and firmness in foreign policy. But the leader ship must come from President Eisenhower. That is his duty and responsibility under the constitution. By REP. JOSEPH W. MARTIN. JR. Republican House Leader . Written For United Preis Washington (U.PJ Presl d e n t Eisenhower's legislative program for continued prosperi ty at home and a real and last ing permanent peace abroad will be substantially approved by the 85th Congress. I believe it will be approved by a bigger percentage than that of any president's program in recent years for these reasons: He will have practically solid support of the Republicans in the Congress, and he will have sufficient Democratic support because of the tremendous Eis enhower vote cast in the con gressional districts. As a matter of fact, the most compelling duty of the new Con gress will be bi-partisan coop eration to help the President in his determination to preserve peace with honor. The people of the nation showed their feelings for Dwight Eisenhower on election day and they will look forward to the Congress co-operating with him to continue the progress and prosperity of America the foundations of which were so fundamentally built in the past four years. The President's program for 1957 will be sent to Congress after the President confers with the leadership of both branches. I believe that civil rights leg islation will be passed iri the House early in the new session in substantially the same form as it was approved last year. School Bill There will be a strong and de termined effort to enact a school construction bill. The President certainly has the support of all the people when he says that every child should have a school seat. Enactment of the school construction bill will perhaps .be a bit difficult, but its prospects are much better than they were in the past. I do not see much difficulty in the President getting the ap propriations he deems necessary for our national defense, and that includes foreign aid funds to bolster the free world. I feel certain that in this time of world emergencies both parties will support requests for funds for these two categories, including continued development and test ing of nuclear weapons. Unless we do give this support the world would become demora lized and that would be disas trous to the United States. That would mean greater spending than we are now asked to approve. Peacw Abort All AH of the people of the United States know beyond question that President ' Eisen- Out Of Dream World If th President will load in ' hower wants Dear nvor anrl Ko out of the "dream world" he has ! vond anything else. I am sure led us Into and realize that the Communist leaders are still in tent on world revolution and world domination, and if he will propose policies of strength and firmness get back to the policy of "peace through strength" he will have the cooperation of the Democratic party. While it is late, there is evi dence that President Eisenhow er is awakening from his "dream world.." I hope so. The Democratic party will support affirmative, effective policies so necessary to regain our friendships throughout the world, to give real hope to count less millions like those in Hun gary who want liberty and in dependence, and to prevent the Communist leaders from accom plishing their objective world domination. In this historic battle. I look for 1957 to be a most important year. To be successful, close coop eration, not for political gain, but for the national interests of our country is necessary. The Democrats will cooperate with such leadership on the part of President Eisenhower. that they will give him solid backing in that direction and ex pect their congressional repre sentatives to give him the same support. We should plan for another balanced budget in spite of what may be appropriated for defense and peace in the world. Fiscal sanity on the part of the federal government under Republican management has been a major contribution towards our exist ing prosperity. It has been a hi.. factor in stabilizing living costs ana putting a halt to inflation. I believe that the Congress will cooperate with the Presi dent in easing the Dlieht of the refugees who have escaped the 4 iron neei of foreign despotism. Men and women who refuse to live in s'avery and who have abandoned everything but life and hope to escape it will make the best kind of American citi zens. Helping them exemplifies best the humane idealism of the American people. Old West Is Dead; Woman Named Mayor Laramie. Wyo. vll.R) The old West is dead, for sure. The man from Laramie is now a lady. Mrs. Josephine Fay was elect ed by the City Council unani mously as Laramie's first wom an mayor Wednesday night. She has handled the city's purse strings for the past two years, anyway, and the men de cided to give her the gavel, too. Out-going Mavor Carroll Mohr escorted Mrs. Fay to the chair, then took a seat in the audience. "I want to thank you for the confirirrce you've placed in me," Mrs. Fay told the council. Then she turned to the business at hand. But she never one used the javeL , Fewer Bomb Hoaxes Expected at Schools New York ;U.R Authorities expected fewer bomb hoaxes at schools today because students have been warned they will have to make up class time lost for bomb searches. Schools across the nation be came the target of telephoned bomb threats Wednesday with the end of the Christmas recess. Students were dismissed for the day in some , cases and others returned to classes after partici pating in shelter drills while police searched for bombs. Police said they had expected such bomb scares as attempts by students to extend their holi days. They took no chances, however, and searched any school that had been threatened. New York's wave of scares since Christmas Eve had reached 175 by Wednesday night. j Washington (U.R) Pros pects for action on major issues facing the 85th Congress: "Eisenhower Doctrine" Con gress almost certainly will grant the President's request for ad vance authority to use American troops, if necessary, to block possible Soviet aggression in Middle East. Schools The President will push hard for big federal outlays to help communities build pub lic schools. A similar bill failed in the last Congress when an anti-segregation amendment was added. Nejro rights House passage again seems assured for the ad ministration's four-point civil rights program. But it faces a threatened filibuster by South erners in the Senate. Farm Congress is almost certain to approve an administra tion plea for relaxed planting controls on corn farmers to avert threatened collapse of their price support program. Foreign aid Funds sought by Mr. Eisenhower probably will be cut sharply. Some law makers contend that Congress is more likely to cut funds below the S3. 7 billion granted last year than to boost the outlay to the S4.4 billion administration will seek. "Tight money" This issue will break out on several leg islative fronts. The administra tion probably will touch off bit ter fight by asking that interest rates on government-guaranteed mortgages on new "GI" housing be raised to 5 per cent from pres ent 4.5. Immigration Legislation to House Leaders Write Parallel Articles; Session Opens Today keep U.S. doors open temporarily for Hungarians and other refu gees from Communist countries has good chance. Postal rates Renewed plea : for higher rates to eliminate I Post Office deficit faces uncer tain future. Taxes The average person can't expect any relief. Demo cratic leaders and administra tion will oppose general tax re lief for fear it would create bud get deficit and increase infla tionary pressures.
