Mansfield Attacks Ike Administration Rough Treatment In Congress Foreseen WASHINGTON (UP)— The Senate’s second-banking Democqt has indicated that the Eisenhower administration faces same rough treatment in the coming session of Congress over its handling of foreign policy and national defense. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont), assistant Senate Democratic leader, made use of a television interview Sunday to attack the administration record in those fields. He included President Eisenhower in his criticism by saying the President "ought to exercise more aggressive leadership” in foreign policy. Interviewed on NBC's television program “Meet the Press,” Mansfield challenged a White House assertion that the United States "at this time” is not militarily weak when compared with the Soviet Union. Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said at Gettysburg Saturday that some newspaper accounts of .the so-called Gaither report have given a flase impression that this nation is in a weak military position. Hagerty said the report "says just the opposite.” But Mansfield said Hagerty’s remark is "open to serious question.” In fact, he said, he thinks this nation has been “out-maneu-vered, out-witted and possibly outflanked- by the Soviet Union.” The Montana Democrat, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, demanded "new ideas and new policies” for U.S. foreign aid.
