Congress GOP Strategists To Try for ‘Liberal’ Record

Beat Demos to the Punch, Thai’s Republican Battlecry

Special to Central Press Association TirrASHINGTON—Republican strategists are determined to W achieve a “liberai” legislative record for the GOP in the new Congress. Key objectives are more money for reclamation and power projects, a flow of funds for federal aid to schools, rehabilitation programs and improved health insurance arrangements. The GOP theory is that the Republicans must beat the Democrats to the punch in the '•liberal’’ field if they are to regam control of ^ Congress in 1958. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, presumably President Eisenhower's choice for the 1960 presidential nomination, is expected to play a leading role in expounding the doctrine of “new" Re-

publicanism.

One of Nixon's chief jobs will be to see to it that Mr. Eisenhower is opposed less often by members of his own party on legislative issues than has been the case during the past four

• DOMESTIC RELATIONS—Even before the opening of the 85th Congress, relations are a trifle strained between the White House and Democratic-controlled Capitol Hill. Disarmament and refugees are the two subjects causing a bit of annoyance. Senator Hubert Humphrey (D), Minnesota, who is chairman of the Senate disarmament subcommittee as well as a United States delegate to the United Nations General Assembly, is complaining that the administration won’t play fair with him. Humphrey says that the White House asked him to hold up a report on disarmament because the NATO meeting was going on at the time, but then it allowed one of its officials to give newsmen I a background briefing outlining the administration’s own disarma- ; ment plans. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D), Georgia, chairman of the House immigration subcommittee and co-author of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, is said to be charging that the White House is trying to grab all the headlines on dealing with Hungarian refugees. All this indicates that things won’t be plain, unadulterated sweetness and light between Capitol Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania avenue when Congress really gets down to business. * * * * • ADLAI ON THE OUTSIDE—White House informants assert flatly that President Eisenhower will remain cool to Adlai Stevenson and will decline to make any use of the defeated Democratic candidate’s services. While former President Harry S. Truman enlisted Herbert Hoover on the special government reorganization study, Mr. Eisenhower is not likely to call on Stevenson for any help in any capacity. The President is still provoked at Stevenson’s chances of serving the government even in an advisory capacity are nil. * * * * • TITO VISIT—Plans for a visit to the United States by Yugoslavia Marshal Tito may hinge a great deal on the results of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s recent conferences with Mr. Eisenhower. Administration officials are sharply split now on Administration the advisability of inviting Tito, the Communist who split with Moscow, to this country and both sides are advancing strong arguments. | n Agreement . • One group, headed by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, believes such a visit by Tito would serve a useful purpose by exploiting the satellite problems now troubling Russia. The opposing faction, however, feels that the American public Isn’t ready to accept a Communist leader whose basic disagreement with Moscow is a matter of method, not philosophy. ’• President Eisenhower may wait for a few months to find out how the Nehru visit turns out before he makes a final decision on ackin-’-Tito to visit the White House.
