Agreeing with Stevenson on his stand on the Taft-Hartley law, and complimenting his "positive foreign policy," the Daily Herald noted that "communism is our single remaining danger," but that control methods advocated by Stevenson's opponents were comparable to "firing shotguns into a crowd...
Eisenhower has a soldier's courage. Unlike Stevenson, he has not changed his position on Taft-Hartley. But Eisenhower's greatest example of courage was his taking an unpopular position on national FEPC because of his conviction that compulsory laws do not make good long range solutions. Unlike Stevenson, he has not changed his position on national FEPC. Eisenhower's stand on compulsory laws is significant coming from a so called "military" man.

This is the record...
Reversing the picture, John F. Kennedy's strong point is on domestic policy. Kennedy voted down the line for Democratic social welfare bills, public housing, rent and price controls, and civil rights enforcement; he voted against Taft-Hartley and both McCarran Acts. While this is a creditable box score, it is a stock party-line vote which includes absurdities like the Brannan Plan. The most unusual thing about Congressman Kennedy has been his incredible absentee record which has averaged 29% over the last six years...
