...Deal, the President will have to take very personal charge of his program. The Vice President will undoubtedly be an asset to him, and it would seem that Senate Republicans will cooperate with the White House, at least until the budget for economic aid is brought up. Then Senator Knowland might make a play, for the mutual assistance doctrine is one which no amount of forcible reteration seems to be able to put across. The President certainly gave it his strongest plug to date, but without giving it continued pressure with similar determination, he could still...
Conservative Republicans, e.g., Arizona's Senator Barry Goldwater, are planning to push their anti-Eisenhower brand of Republicanism even harder than before. There is little prospect that Senate Minority Leader William Knowland, with his mind on his campaign for the governorship of California, will be able or even willing to make the two-wings of the G.O.P. fly together to produce a unified force. And Knowland's heir apparent for the leadership, Illinois' Everett Dirksen, is still not quite sure which wing he wants to fly with...
...Tired, Aging Men." Such steadfast Republicans as Senate Minority Leader William Knowland and New Jersey's H. Alexander Smith defended the Eisenhower-Dulles report as "informative" and "positive," but from the Republican-Portland Oregonian came a bitter criticism of "the spectacle of two tired, aging men talking about the gravely compromised half-measures which bind and separate America from its European allies." Among Democrats, Montana's Mike Mansfield wished the report "had spelled out the sacrifices the people will be required to make in the years ahead." Harry S. Truman, holidaying in Manhattan, snapped during an early-morning...
Hardly a Success. The first day of the legislative sessions was set aside to discuss foreign policy with leaders of both parties. The second day was spent reviewing domestic programs with Republicans, headed by Senate Leader Bill Knowland and House Leader Joe Martin. The meetings were held weeks earlier than usual, so as to give ranking members of Congress a chance to participate in the formulation of policy. The speedup was hardly a success: Republicans were indignant because the Democrats were called in so early; Democrats, who had long fumed at being left out until the last moment, now complained...
...Illinois' grey-maned, smooth-talking Everett McKinley ("The Wizard of Ooze") Dirksen, 61, is generally expected to become Senate Republican leader when William Fife Knowland goes off at session's end to run for governor of California. Even Dwight Eisenhower, who always before made it his practice to steer clear of Senate internal affairs, is reminding G.O.P. Senators that Dirksen would serve their purposes better in the long run than such liberal Republicans as New York's Jacob Javits or New Jersey's Clifford Case. Best guess on who persuaded Ike to plead Dirksen...
