GOP-Dixiecrat Plan
WASHINGTON— «!—Sen. Earl
E. Mundt jR-SD) got a barrage of
cheers—and cat calls— from his
Senate colleagues today on his
plan to beat President Trurfian
next year with a Republican-South
ern Democratic alliance.
Some Republicans though it was
a “splendid” idea to ieom up with
Southern Democrats In picking a
presidential ticket for 1*52. Others
thought lt was funny. Still others
called it "absurd.”
Democrats, particularly Southern
Democrats, did not want to talk
i about the proposed .coalitiion. The
i ) Southerners could count 10 months
j before the Republicans hold their _
national convention, and did n<ft
want to make commitments this
early.
SUGGESTS MIXED TICKET
Mundt had suggested that the
! GOP pick a Republican and a
Southern Democrat for president
ial and, vice presidential candid
ates. He said “it wouldn't make
j much difference” who got the top
spot on the ticket.
Sen. Owen Brewster (R-Me), who
directed the Senate Republican
campaign committee last year, said
he approved of a fcloser working
arrangement” with Southern Dem
ocrats. He agreed that the coalit
ion might very well put the Tru
man administration out of office.
Sen Joseph R. McCarthy <R-
Wis.) thought the coalition was
"logical and long overdue.” He said
there were two wings of both par
ties and “we should have a party
realignment' so we could have two
I parties again.”
Sen. Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.)
I was amused by the idea.
“I haven’t anything to say.” he
I laughed. ‘‘l just returned from Eu
\ rope and they are saying there that
; the French and Germans might
. get together—so you never can tell
, what might happen.”
