60P Confident Os Election Victories National Committee Ends Session Today Chicago, Dec. 8 (UP) The Republican national committee went into th-- final session of a two-day meftlnt today thoroughly confident that it will elect a Republican congress next year and a president In 1948. House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin Jr., Ma*., shared that cotifid- nee, hut said he hoped the party would concentraie it* attention on 1944. Martin was the key man In drafting an Interim platform with which the GOP expect* to win a sweeping victory In the 1946 congressional elections. Despite Martin'* cautious attitude of taking one step at a time, other OOP organization leaders talked of the 1948 presidential race, but they mentioned no new name*. Titular party leader Gov. Thomas iE. Dewey, former Gov. John j W. Bricker of Ohio and former | Gov. .Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota all were mentioned. None attended th* committee *e**lon*. althoiigh Staaaen wax in Chicago i momentarily Thursday Gov. Dwight H. Green of Illinois i also was mentioned as a possible' contender for either the presidency or vice-presidency In 1948 j •ft*r a ringing sp-ech which both criticized the OOP and lambasted | the "vacillating Truman adminl«t-| ration.” Green told the committee that Republican* have not been vigorous enough In opposing “federal squanderings", and that they have "tolerated inflationary policies to appease various pressure groups." I National committee chairman Herbert Brownell Jr., called th* first day’s session “the most constructive meeting thp national committee ba* ever had in many a long day." “We have the organization and the leadership now that will win control of congress for u* next year,” he said. He said the nports h* received from committee members all over the country st yesterday's meeting backed up bls earlier predictions that nothing could prevent a GOP victory in 1946. Brownell also said the GOP could give the administration a lesson in economy. The party, he said, has “a balanced budget and I* on a pay-as-you-go basis.” The GOP started tbe year with a 3260.000 reserve, he said, collected 1560.000 during the year and spent 1460,000, leaving a balance of *350,000. James R. Kemper. Chicago, chair man of the GOP finance committee, hinted at a Republican move to repeal the Hatch Act provision limiting to *3.000.000 (Mi the amount of funds a national committee may collect. Kemper said in a statement that before the Hatch act was passed, the committee raised fund* and parcelled them out to state organization*. He skid that "helped par*y unity and coordination" and “brings The suggestion that perhaps" the limitation should be repealed. Before concluding the two-day
