Eisenhower Says COP Most Be
United On Political Policy
•v MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
WASHINGTON (ft - President
Eisenhower says the Republican
Party must be united on broad
political policy and realize—as
Abraham Lincoln advised—that
“the dogmas of the quiet pan are
inadequate to the stormy present.”
In a Lincoln Day message made
PMic by the White House last
night, the President appealed for
unity at a time when some GOP
Congress members are murmuring
that certain phases of the Eisen
hower program are too much like
the New Deal of the preceding
Democratic administrations.
He spoke out at a time, when
Senate Republicans are split over
basic constitutional policy as point
ed up by the controversy over the
Bricker amendment on treaty-mak
ing powers.
"It is ... essential/* Eisenhower
declared, “that the members of a
political party—if the party is to
be effective—join together to reach
a common goal. Unless there is
unified support of broad political
policy, there is no true political
party"
There must be political unity, be
added, if our party the tfepub
lican party ia successfully to meet
the responsibilities of national
leadership with which it has been
charged by our people."
In talking of his administration’s
program, he touched obliquely on

aspects of it which have brought
some criticism within the party
ranks those phases dealing with
the government’s role in such
fields as housing, social security
and health.
He said the “mandate” of the
i people in the 1952 election "re
quires that we share Lincoln's con
cern for the proper role of govern
ment in helping and protecting all
our citizens," and added:
“It ,as in such concern that
there was recently placed before [
the Congress this administration’s
program for consideration and
translation into law.
1 "Through our unified action, that
I program will secure our country
against the threats of our time and
will be doing for our people those
things they cannot well do for
i themselves."
The Eisenhower Lincoln Day
message is in the form of a film
recording being made available for}
party dinners around the country
during the next few weeks.
The first such dinner for which
the message was provided was
held in Providence, R. 1., last night.
The White House said, “Several
hundred” gatherings of the party
faithful will hear it.”
Eisenhower quoted Lincoln in his
second annual message as presi
dent:
“The dogmas of the quiet past
are inadequate to the stormy pres-
ent. Hie eccacten is piled fcfga wffii
difficulty and we must rise to the
occasion. As our ease is new, so
we must think anew and act
anew.”
Associating himself with that
philosophy of Lincoln, he then
said:
“For we know that each day the
world is new, that the problems
each day brings are new. But we
also know that, though these tasks
are new, the approach to them is
still the Lincoln approach.
“To be dedicated to e single
purpose—te freedom, strength,
prosperity and peace of America
—and to strive with all that’s in
us to advance the welfare of her
citizens—that is the forward way
we must seek for America.
“That is the legitimate purpose
of Lincoln’s party—a century ago,
today and always."
Woman Jailed
For Talking
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Ufi—A 61-year*
j old mother of 14 children who
/‘hardly talked at all” served a
six-hour jail sentence yesterday for
violating a judge’s new rule of
silence.
Mrs. Catherine Purtiler said,
“You’d think I was a criminal or
something." as she sat in jail
following the sentence imposed by
Municipal Judge Peter B. Muir.
Mrs. Purtiler, grandmother of 31
children, and Mrs. Dorothy Long,
27. each were charged with con
tempt of court for talking during
the session. The judge had just
announced that violators of his new
no-talking-or-whispering rule would
be fined or jailed.
Mrs. Long paid the fine. Mrs.
Purtiler chose the sentence be
cause “I needed the money for the
rent tomorrow.”
I Said Mrs. Purtiler: "Why, It’s
the most natural thing in the world
for two women to talk to each
other when they are sitting side
by side. I just can’t believe I’m
here."
A Letter Free
BILL LANTAFF
Dear Neighbor:
President Eisenhower’s Slate of
the Union message, to most of us
here in Congress, indicated that
the primary direction of his Admin
istration is to be toward continuity
of Federal policy, rather than to
ward any drastic break with the
past.
From all of the criticism hi re
cent years directed against New
Deal and Fair Deal Programs, It
was quite interesting to hear the
leader of the former "opposition
party” now endorse most of those
baric principles. The United Na
tions is not to be scrapped, rather
we were urged to continue our
firm support of that organisation
and of its cause of freedom on
foreign fronts. The President told
us that the United States was ready
to meet any renewal of armed ag
gression in Korea. The foreign-aid
program which has been bitterly
criticized in recent years, drew
support from the President, as he
urged Congress to continue mili
tary assistance to friendly na
tions and economic aid on a re
duced scale.
On the domestic front, the So
cial Security program was not
only endorsed, but the President
urged that it be expanded. The
Housing program is to be retained.
In the health field, the President
urges us to adopt a system of Fed
eral re-insurance of private health
and hospitalization insurance poll
cies —a plan something along the
iline of the Federal Housing pro
gram. President Eisenhower urged
admission of Hawaii to the Union,
Federal grants for hospitals and
medical research, and Federal aid
for more school building*.
In my opinion, the Preridmt’s
blueprint for the Administration to
foUow this year is not a Republic an
Program— it’s an Eisenhower
Program. It’s one that follows the
I middle-of-the-road, and one that I
believe most Members of Congress
on both sides of the aide, wii
generally endorse.
Sincerely yours,
BILL LANTAFF

Senate Leaders Will Present
Substitute For Bricker Bill
By JOE HALL
WASHINGTON (*—Senate lead
ers hoped today to unveil a bi
partisan substitute for the Bricker
amendment which they believe will
break the stalemate in the dispute
and still preserve the President’s
powers in foreign affairs.
Republican Leader Knowland of
California said be expected to be
able to announce details of the
much-talked-over treaty curb sub
stitute during the day, althougi
more conferences and more pol
ishing remained.
But Sen. George (D-Ga), who
introduced a proposal that became
the baais of the bipartisan sub
stitute, said he wasn’t quite so
confident.
“Somebody always hat some
other little idea he wants to get
in," George said in an interview.
"They’re still hoping they can get
Bricker to agree to something. But
I don’t think any compromise is
possible with John now."
Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio) himself
said yesterday the differences with
the administration on his proposal
"grow out a fundamentally differ
ent philosophy of government."
Even if an agreement can be
reached which provides a middle
ground for many senators, the big
question seemed to be—
Can Senate leaders muster the
necessary two-thirds vote required
for a proposal to change the Con
stitution?
Or will thoap taking extreme
positions on both sides join forces
to prevent enactment of a com
promise?
Some sponsor* of the original
Bricker amendment already were
conceding privately it could not
pass. *
Apparently the substance of
George’s proposal was acceptable
to the administration, since Know
land and other GOP leaders talked
to the president at the White House
yesterday, then returned to the
Capitol to push ahead with their
substitute.
The first section of George’s pro
posal states that any treaty or
international agreement in con
flict with the Constitution shall not
have any effect. This is substan
tially the same as the first clause
in Bricker’a amendment; Eisen
hower does not object to It.
The second section would pro
vide that agreements other thaa
treaties can become effective as
internal law only by act of Coo-

Marine Acquitted
SAN DIEGO, Calif. Ut l—A general
court-martial acquitted Marine
Pfc. L. C. Kemp, 23, of San Angelo,
Tex., yesterday of murder in the
shotgun slaying of g civilian gar
dener here Dec. 2.
Kemp admitted he shot the gar
dener, Irving V. LeFever, 27, at
the San Diego Marine Corps Re
cruit Depot after a dispute over
***** to the morning raising of
the national colore.
The Marine was guarding brig
prisoners with the shotguh the
morning of the shooting. He tes
tified that LeFever threatened the
.security of his prisoners.
gress. Such agreements, unlike
treaties, dq not require Senate
ratification.
The proposal thus avoids the re
quirement of the Bricker amend
ment that treaties themselves can
become internal law only "by leg
islation which would be valid in
the absence of treaty." Critics say
the effect of this would be to re
quire state action to implement
some treaties.
It was this part of the Ohioan’s
proposal that aroused the sharpest
opposition in the Eisenhower ad
ministration.
George said a proposal of Know
land for a record Senate roll-call
vote on all treaties was being adde
to his plan and that he had no
objection to this. There may be
a few other minor changes, he said.
One result of these would be to
allow Senate Republicans to claim
part of the credit for authorship
of the compromise.
No actual test votes in the dis
pute will come before next week.
Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn) has the
floor today in opposition to the
Bricker amendment.
He told his colleagues yesterday
that the Ohioan’s proposal stems
from "an atmosphere which looks
with suspicion on the United Na
tions and on the efforts of men
to work out some sort of common
meeting ground where they can live
together at peace in the world."
Kefauver said he and other sen
ators would offer a simple con
gressional resolution as a substitute
for the proposed constitutional
change. This would affirm, on be
