Move Is Threat To Republican Unity Citizens Group In Recognition Bid DENVER, tlP—An unprecedented proposal by the “Citizens for Eisenhower” organization that it be given at least equal status with the Republican national committee today threatened to set back hopes for unity in the GOP. The citizens group, which played an important role in obtaining the Republican presidential nomination for Dwight D. Eisenhower, proposed that it be given a campaign status equal to, and possibly superior to, the Republican na-, tional committee. \ Walter Williams, Seattle, Wash., ans Mrs. Qswald • B .Lord, New York, co-chairmen of the citizens’ organization, were prepared io lay their plan before a group of topRepublicans who assembled here today for a series of week end conferepces. Williams and Mrs; Lord made an advapce presentation of their proposal to Elsenhower Thursday and told reporters la.|er that the GOP nominee “liked It.” ( One 'Republican? source said he expected the recommendation to meet with stiff resistance from spokesmen for the regular GOP \ organization. There was one report that thq Republican nationl committee, would advocate the assigning of a completely subordinate rble to the citizens’ group. Williams said Arthur E. Suinmerfield. Republican national chairman who was scheduled to arrive here this afternooh, was in “general agreement" with the Organizational plan. Butj Williams, conceded that Summerfield > had not seen details of 4he proposal.
