Partisan Battle On Foreign Policy Seen in Congress Washington - (LTD - Republi cans today challenged the conduct of U.S. foreign policy under past Democratic admin istrations as a result of an in fluential Democratic group's charge that the GOP bungled world affairs. The exchange threatened to blossom into a full-scale par tisan battle when Congress returns from its Easter recess next week. The Democratic Advisory council sparked the foreign policy debate by accusing President Eisenhower of sell ing out his own foreign policy convictions to GOP "clients" who believe world leadership responsibilties can be dis charged at "bargain rates." It said the result has been a "windfall" of opportunities for the Kremlin and a "rui nous course" for American diplomacy. The statement urged the Democratic - controlled Con gress to demand strong action and point the way so the na tion need not "sit in paralyzed horror for two more years." Republican National Com mittee Chairman Meade Al corn quickly called the Demo cratic attack "massive irre sponsibility" and "partisan poppycock." His counter-attack included conduct of the Korean, war under President Truman. He called it an Asiatic war "brought about by executive confusion and error; a war ended by this administration speedily." He said the Democratic statement was "an invitation to aggression, almost as re grettable as the tragic decla ration by the U.S. secretary of state in 1950 that South Korea lay outside our defense perimeter."
