McCarthy Most
Sought After
As A Speaker
WASHINGTON OP) How
ever President Eisenhower
may view it, some of the top
planners of Republican
strategy in this election
year regard Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy as a valuable
campaign asset.
They place his strength largely
In the Midwest, plus Connecticut
and Massachusetts in the East and.
perhaps in California.
There is every evidence of hope
that McCarthy Will have a big role
lit this year’s congressional election
campaign. He is receiving now more
speaking invitations than any otW
•r senator.
A considerable number of Mc-
Carthy’s Republican colleagues
don’t- like him and a few of them
toy so publUfly. Sen. Ralph K
Flander fR-Vt) spanked McCarthy
In his absence from the Senate floor
TWeeday. In a semi-humorous
Speech, Flanders wondered out loud
whether McCarthy was in secret
cahoots with the Democrats to do
the Republicans in. Sen. John Sher
man Cooper (R-Ky) rose to con
gratulate Flanders on his speech.
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R-
Me.) led an anti-McCarthy move

Six other Republicans in a "dec

House Expected

By UNITED PRESS
Hie House was expected
to give enthusiastic approv
al today to a one billion dol
lar slash in federal excise
taxes .despite White House
disapproval.

The measure—becked by both
Democratic and Republican lead
ers—would whack present levies on
Jewelry, furs, movie tickets, tele
phone tolls and other items to 10
per cent effective April 1.
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of TVetUßtry George M.
Humphrey are opposed to any cuts
in excise or sales— taxes at
this time. They say the govern
ment can’t afford the revenue loss.
The MU however, does Include
an administration recommendation
for extension of the present ex
. else rate on liquor, beer, wines, d-
I wets, gasoline and automobiles
; past their Scheduled April 1 reduc

Extension of these taxes would

FIVK CENTS PER COPT
WASHINGTON (IP) Sec
retary of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson said today the
administration is prepared
to spend “substantial sums
of public money” to aid ag
riculture if value is received.
However. Benson said the present
rigid high price farm support law
has been “very costly” to the gov
ernment without maintaining farm
prices at desired levels.
Benson testified before the House
Agriculture Committee as the ad
ministration opened its drive for
Flexible price supports.
In the Senate, Sen. Allen J.
Ellender (D-La) challenged the ad
ministration to an early showdown
on high vs. flexible supports. He
predicted the administration will be
beaten.
SUPPORTS EXPIRE DEC. J1
The current rigid supports on the
six basic crops expire next Dec. 31.
The administration would permit
the high supports to die and be
replaced by laws of 1948 and 1949
which set up a system of flexible
price supports.
“There )» no disinclination on the
part of this administration," Ben
son said, “to spend substantial
sums of public money In order t*>
aid agriculture if value is received
for such expenditures.’’
There is a chance that Ellender’*
challenge might not be met. al

WASHINGTON (IP) Presi

plored internal warfare
within the Republican Par

the basic program of its ad
ministration.
He gave his support to Sen.
Ralph Flanders (R-Vt) who said
in a Senate speech yesterday that
Sen. —oseph McCarthy was trying
to “shatter" the party by going
his own way “by intention or
through ignorance.”
The President emphasised that he
did not necessarily underwrite ev
ery word of the speech—which was
highly critical of McCarthy—but he
said he thought Flanders performed
a public service in calling attention
to the grave error of attempting to
split the party. *

The chief executive also told a
crowded news conference that the
United States wIU not get dir

between the French and Commun

He thought the radio and tele

3. The President said he saw no

the facts.
