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

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.
