Republicans Plan
Attacks on Demos
To Control Congress
Chicago - (UPD - Republican
party leaders assembled to
day to lay out 1958 cam
paign plans to convince vot
ers that a Democratic Con
gress is too soft on labor and
too hard on the Treasury. .
The GOP National commit
tee was meeting, with a size
able number of Republican
state chairmen present, less
than three days after adjourn
ment of the 1958 session of
Congress. Their chief objec
tive was to prepare strategy
for the autumn political cam
paign to restore control of the
House and Senate to the GOP.
Weapons of Attack
They took their signals
from President Eisenhower in
moving to attack the Demo
cratic flanks with these wea
pons: -A charge the Democratic
Congress' failure to enact la
bor reform legislation had
shown that the Democrats
were unwilling or unable to
halt abuses exposed by the
Senate committee investiga
ting the labor racketeering.
-A charge that the Demo
crats were big spenders whose
program would keep the
country saddled with red ink
spending and continuous in
flation. ,
Rep. Richard M. Simpson
of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the GOP Congressional Cam
paign committee, hammered
on the labor charge in a
speech prepared for today's
opening session. He said Dem
ocrats had maneuvered the
Senate-approved labor bill,
which died in the House, with
an eye to insure its death.
Simpson said the Demo
crats tried to satisfy both "the
labor bosses," who he said
did not want any legislation
enacted, and the public, which
was demanding labor legisla
tion. Simpson said Sen. John F.
Kennedy (D-Mass.), was pos
ing "as a knight on a white
charger," in advocating labor
legislation and forgetting that
Senate GOP leader William
F. Knowland had prodded the
Senate Labor committee into
action. He said Republicans
on the House Labor Commit
tee were thwarted by the
Democratic majority in their
effort to get action.

timber sales from Oregon and

ord 3,919,020,000 board feet.
This was an increase of
30.8 per cent over the 1957
figure, Stone said
Meanwhile, 1958 water

shipments to the end of July
were slightly ahead of last

Congress voted too much
money for the defense estab

bill calling for $39,602,827,

the current fiscal year. This
was $815,857,000 more than
the President sought, and
there was no certainty he
would allow it to be spent.
The increase above the
presidential request reflected
congressional efforts to block
scheduled cutbacks in mili
