GOP Told Time Has Come to Stop
Appeasing and Start Hitting Back’
Bt DREW PEARSON
Recess Is Refresher
Despite talk about the boys:
“needing a rest,” real story be- 1
hind the 10-day Easter recess
of the house was that Speaker
Sam Rayburn and Majority
Leader John McCormack sent
their charges home for a “re
fresher” course.
Rayburn and McCormack
were chiefly concerned over
another GOP Dixie coalition
against repeal of the Taft
Hartley labor law, and they
thought some elbow - rubbing
with the folks at home might
be the best preventive. The
strategy applies to Republicans
from industrial districts as well
as Democrats.
Meantime, local AFL and
CIO leaders were planning
lo give the returning politi
cos a stiff workout during
10-day "vacation.''
Rayburn and McCormack
are keenly aware that the
Taft - Hartley vote will be a
crucial test they can’t afford to
lose, if they are to keep nor
thern city Democrats in line
on other administration mea
ures. Ever since the GOP
Dixie coalition against rent
control, there has been talk of
a northern “revolt,” or a coali
tion-in-reverse, in which nor
thern Democrats would gang
up with Republicans to block
southern farm bills.
Rumbles of Revolt
At a dinner meeting with
North and South freshmen
Democrats recently, Rayburn
and McCormack heard increas
ing rumbles of “retaliation”
against Southern coalitionists.
This wasn’t all cloakroom
whispers. Quite a number of
big-city Democrats, who be
lieve in carrying out Truman
eampaign promises, have spok
en out openly.
Among them are freshmen
Democrats Anthony Taueri
ello, of Buffalo. N. Y.. and
Earl Wagner, of Cincinnati.
O.. who angrily told McCor
mack the time had come to
"stop appeasing and start
hitting back" at southern
opponents of the Fair Deal
program.
“I’ve had enough,’’ bluntly
asserted Tauriello. “I was
elected on the Truman pro
gram, and I believe in the
whole program. I’m tired of
seeing the program delayed
and undermined by members
of my own party. A lot of us
think it’s time to start retali
ating.”
At the dinner, Rayburn and
McCormack made strong pleas
for harmony. Since then the
grumbling has somewhat sub
sided.

GOP Hop*
Oregon’s bushy-browed Sen.
Wayne Morse, considered a
black-sheep by old guard Re
publicans, nevertheless has a
strong though secret following
in congress.
This group not only lakes
its political cues from Morse,
but is quietly boosting him
for the vice - presidency in
1952. He is the only Repub
lican, they feel, who can
take votes away from the
Democrats in their greatest
stronghold—labor.
Leaders of the Morse move
ment include such congressmen
as John Phillips, of California,
H. R. Gross, of Iowa, and
James Golden, of Kentucky
—all progressive Republicans,
of their support until he was
invited to talk off-the-record
the other day before a gather
ing of about 20 Republican
congressmen.
With characteristic blunt
ness, Morse tore into the ills
of the Republican party.
"I speak only of the sen
ate." he declared, "but in the
senate, we have a few who
hold policy meetings. The
rest of us read about it next
morning in the papers and
are called together at 10 o'
clock to confirm it.
He accused GOP leaders in
congress of playing turtle dur
ing the last election.
“It wasn’t Dewey’s job to
defend the 80th congress,” said
Morse. “It Was up to our top
leaders in congress. A lot of
them suffered political laryn
gitis.”
As for the GOP stand on la
bor, Morse snorted: “We’ve
got an antilabor label on our
party, and we’ll keep it until
we liberalize the Taft-Hartley
law.”

Barkley Humor
Vice-President Alben Bark
ley brought down the house
with this story at President
Truman’s “harmony” dinner
with freshmen congressional
Democrats. Here is the Bark
ley story:
A minister sermonising to
his flock on the virtues of
friendship inquired if there
were any members of the
congregaton who could hon
estly say they had no ene
mies. An aged man with a
long beard arose in the rear
of the church.
“Ah, I am glad to see that
there is at least one among us
who can answer my question,
beamed the minister. “How old
are you, sir?”
“One hundred and four
years." , , ., „
“That’s truly remarkable,
said the reverend. “Do you I
mind telling us how you have i
managed to be without ene
mies in such a long life span.
“Because,” said the old man,
“I outlived them all.”

| CORNER
BLIZZARD BABY . . . This week the Jack and Jill editor wants
to introduce James Michael Beha (left), 4 *4-month-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Beha, of O’Neill. James Michael was
the first baby of the new year and therefore winner of The
Frontier’s annual “first bab^" contest. He will be able to tell
his grandchildren of his timely arrival, even though it was dur
ing one of the worst blizzards in many years. James Michael
was whisked to his home so fast “between storms” that The
Frontier didn’t have an opportunity to get his picture. On the
right is little Miss Rosemary Lyons, 2-year-old daughter of Sgt.
and Mrs. James Lyons, of O’Neill. Rosemary has blue eyes and
reddish blonde hair. She loves to dance to music over the ra
dio and. as far as she is concerned, the English language was
written in plural. Rosemary likes to help her mother with the
dishes and every time she sees a car leave she wants to go to a
party. She has a brother, Randy, who is in kindergarten.
