...Fashioned Thumpers. Disarray and disillusionment are also intense on the G.O.P. local level (notable exceptions: New York and California). The big contributors are refusing to kick in; Boston Republicans, who two years ago collected $1,200,000 at a pledge dinner, this year got only $75,000. Through the Midwest, Old Guard Republican organizations are busy wreaking vengeance on Eisenhower Republicans, and the Ikemen are getting no help from Washington. Many a GOPolitico is convinced that the President is no longer an asset. Said a top-ranking Colorado Republican last week: "The President will always have some popularity...
Terrier-tempered Sherman Adams was MAD, New Hampshire fashion. For weeks Republican Congressmen who dislike him (except in moments of panic) had been dropping into his White House office to moan about the kicks in the teeth they were getting from high-stepping Democrats. In addition, along with other White House aides, Adams had been doing a slow burn of his own over such Democratic slants as Harry Truman's remark that Eisenhower was a good general when he had someone else (i.e., Harry Truman) to tell him what to do (TIME, Jan. 20).

Tut-tutted Pundit Walter Lippmann: "In the position he occupies and with the immunity which he claims, Mr. Adams should not make speeches at all." Growled House Speaker Sam Rayburn: "I see that the Republicans just about obliterated the Democratic Party . . . Does the White House think it can pass its program without Democratic votes?" But mingled with criticism there was plenty of praise, especially from the Republican...
Simple Questions. As the committee gathered in closed session, Texan Johnson pulled out of his pocket his proposed interim statement, already drafted. There he argued not with Republican members, but with Missouri's presidency-bound Democrat Stuart Symington, who nagged insistently for a hard-swinging attack on the Administration for its defense shortcomings. At length, Johnson (well aware that his own committee was no more anxious than the Administration for defense spending in the last "economy" session of Congress) carried the day-and happily so, for his report was both accurate and constructive...
