Calls Cong. Bender Mere Rubber Stamp Sen. Thomas Burke Assails Opponent COLUMBUS (INS) — U.S. Sen. Thomas A. Burke today charged his Republican opponent, Cleveland congressman George H. Bender, with being a “rubber stamp” legislator who had sponsored only one piece of successful legislation In his 14 years in congress. Burke, delivering the keynote address to the one-day Democratic state platform convention, also charged the national administration of President Eisenhower with using “advertising gimmicks” instead of accomplishments In an effort of sell itself to the American people. The Senator, seeking re-election to the remaining two years oV the term of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, charged also that the Republicans had side-stepped the question of fair employment practices, but promised that the Democratic platform to be adopted tonight would contain a “strong and positive” FEiPC plank. He castigated the GOP in Ohio for attempting to claim credit for the accomplishments of Governor Lausche's administration, and predicted that the governor would win a fifth term smashingly November 2 over the Challenge of "twisting, rumbling, muddy” Republican candidate James A. Rhodes, now state auditor. Nationally, Bnrke charged, “the Republicans try to solve everything with an advertising punchline.” He asserted: ’Ht’s just too bad you can’t lick the Reds with advertising slogans. If you could, we’d win hands down. "We have our N|xon soap operas and the Dulles 'agonizing re-ap-praisals,’ but what do they mean? Nothing. They are — these highsounding phrases—nothing but the boastful mouthlngs of a political party which promised all things to all men and now find they cannot produce. "Running the United States is not selling coap, or hair tonic, or Wheaties. It is—or used to be—a serious business.” Actually, Burke complained, under the Republicans, "autos are down, car loadings are down, steel is down, national output dropped four hillion dollars, and business failures and bankruptcies are up.” He charged that those in the under —15,000-lncome group are getting only nine cents of the tax reduction dollar boasted of by the GOP, and that farm income has dropped 400 million dollars in the first five months of this year.
