...Blough, U.S. Steel's chairman, who will have the top say about how much in raises-if anything-will go into the pay envelopes of thousands of steelworkers. See BUSINESS. ¶is for Charlie, Halleck by name...
...going to let the Democrats get away with it?'' With a farm-state critic of Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, he agreed: "All right, he is an s.o.b. - but he's our s.o.b." When the vote was taken, the veto stood. Indiana's Charles Abraham Halleck, 58, minority leader of the House of Representatives, had won another victory for the Eisenhower Administration.

...Crafty Attempt. On the House floor, just before the vote, Majority Leader John McCormack was equally impassioned. Here, he said, were two philosophies-"the philosophy of the dollar and . . . the philosophy of human values." Minutes later, the House rejected the Herlong bill, 203 to 177. Charlie Halleck lost only six or seven of the voting Republicans, but such was the effectiveness of the Rayburn-McCormack effort that Southern Democrats did not cross over in nearly enough numbers...
