...House passed (258-124) a $3.58 billion foreign-aid bill, $590.5 million below Administration requests, but a surprising $200 million above the $3.38 billion package backed by House Speaker Sam Rayburn-thanks to a rare combination of conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats engineered by Minority Leader Charlie Halleck. New York's Old Guard John Taber, longtime aid trimmer, led the disciplined Republican ranks in bidding for $200 million more for military assistance (total: $1.8 billion), which the Democrats supported. In return, Halleck & Co. voted to restore U.S. aid ($515 million over ten years) to the Indus River project...
...every Republican Convention since 1936, Indiana Congressman Charlie Halleck has backslapped his way among the delegates, like the Hoosier horse trader that he is. In 1940 he nominated fellow Indianian Wendell Willkie for the presidency. In 1948 Halleck swung Old Guard Indiana to Internationalist Tom Dewey on the promise, he thought, of the vice-presidential nomination (California's Earl Warren got it). In 1952 Halleck's support of Dwight Eisenhower was a sharp blow to the embittered forces of Ohio's Bob Taft. In 1956 he nominated...
Last week Hoosier Halleck was hoisted from the floor to the rostrum to be permanent chairman of next month's Republican Convention in Chicago. National Chairman Thruston Morton, with a nod from Vice President Nixon, overlooked plain-mugged Charlie Halleck's lack of TV appeal, heeded Halleck's claim to the job by virtue of being the House Republican leader. Knowing Halleck's onetime dreams of a Nixon-Halleck ticket (unshared by Nixon), G.O.P. brass hoped that Halleck would accept the chairman's gavel as his full reward for work well done...
...bipartisan attempt to save school aid, the Administration offered House Democratic leaders a substitute measure similar to the Democratic bill. They agreed to the substitution, and if the maneuver had worked, it would have neatly sidestepped the Powell Amendment. But Indiana's House Minority Leader Charles Halleck, determined foe of federal school aid, torpedoed the plan with a firm count-me-out. The Democratic bill passed with the Powell Amendment attached, and Senate Southerners loosed the predictable howls. Alabama's Lister Hill, chairman of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee, vowed "unalterable and unequivocal" rejection...
Such a compromise course seemed the only way out for the psychiatrists. Wisconsin's Dr. Seymour L. Halleck complained that extremists like Washington's Karpman who say "there are no criminals, only the insane" are making it "more difficult for the rest of us who want to make practical progress gradually...
