...Midwest. Voters were alarmed by Government spending, higher taxes, the suspicion that the State Department had played footie with Communists within its own organization and in Asia. They were suspicious of what Harry Truman might do with his oft-repeated Fair Deal program-the Brannan Plan, repeal of Taft-Hartley, etc.-if he got full control of the 82nd Congress. Republicans swam in the conservative tide and rode it to the beach...
...November 7, the day of the election, your editorial castigated the Republicans for passing the Taft-Hartley bill and initiating the "hysterical" McCarran Act. What sort of people do you think rad your editorials, non-thinking robets? Anybody who has any guts today will admit that the Taft-Hartley Act is a just attempt at equalizing the balance of power in the American scene, and will praise its purpose and methods.

That party evidently does not intend to change its stand on these questions. Nor does it intend to back down on its program of attacking anyone whom party members may consider "leftist." It will keep on trying to pass legislation like McCarran Bill...
