Senator Kerr Assails Ike's lack Os Brains Personal Attack On Eisenhower Is Not New In U.S. History , WASHINGTON (UP)-Sen. Rob- • ert S. Kerr’s remark about President Eisenhower’s “brains” is not i the first time Eisenhower has been the target of sharp personal . attack. In fact, every president j since Washington has been subjected to caustic criticism. p The Oklahoma Democrat charged Monday that Eisenhower could not understand fiscal policies because that takes “brains and he doesn’t have them.” Presidents have been attacked , for everything from their choice ‘ of wives to trapping squirrels on the White House lawn. George Washington hadn’t even arrived in the capital to begin gerving as the nation’s first chief ' 1 executive before congressional 1 .critics were accusing him of bet ing too “monarchical.”’ Jefferson Called “Dangerous” 1 Thomas Jefferson was labelled 1 , a "“revolutionary” and a “dangerous radical” while Andrew Jack- < , son was termed a “demagogue” . and “rabble-rouser.” Franklin D. Roosevelt was called a “dictator” ; ■ and Theodore Roosevelt was castii gated as “that damn cowboy.” Eisenhower is not the only pres- ; ident who had to endure attacks . on his intelligence. The late Sen Joseph R. McCarthy '(R - Wis.) , quoted a “Democratic senator” in 1951 as saying that President. Truman was “stubbornly stupid.” Eisenhower also has come under attack from Democratic senators for such tilings as White House squirrels and his religious habits. Sfen. Richard L. Neuberger (DOre. • criticized the President because three White House squirrels were trapped and removed for “scratching Dwight D. Eisenhower’s favorite putting green." In 1955, SeA Matthew.M. Neely (D-WVa.) accused the President of being hypocritical in his church attendance, saying “Eisenhower ‘ never joined a church until after he became president." Capehart Defends President Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) is reported to have said that Eisenhower and Teamsters President Dave Beck were “the same kind of immoralists.” He said he could see no difference in princi- ’ pie in "Dave Beck putting his hands in the pockets of his union” . and the “Eisenhower administra- > tion putting its hands In the taxpayers’ poCkets.” Sen. Homer E. Capehart (RInd.) rose to the defense of the President Monday te 11 i'n g Kerr “You should be ashamed of yourself.” Kerr promptly referred to Capehart as the "midget from Indiana.” Capehart also defended Eisenhower earlier this year against Morse’s remarks, accusing the Oregoh senator of being “intellectually dishonest and immoral” Morse retorted that Capehart could “best be described as a cup of rancid ignorance.” S I At the Adams county memorial hospital: Twin boys were born to Wilbert and Marcella Bleeke Kirschner, route one, Monroe, this morning. Born at 10 and 10:15 o’clock, they weighed seven pounds, three ounces, and six pounds, eight ounces, respectively. r§JOSRITAL ■* on i; ''"' - " Claude Foreman, Decatur; Charles J.
