Ike Too Busy With Golf and Clubs, Kirwan Says
Ohio Democrat congressman Michael J. Kirwan told an OU Young Democrats rally that President Eisenhower is not a real president but relies on underlings for most decisions. He accused Ike of golfing at Burning Tree and commuting to work and cited social security, farmers aid, TVA and stock market regulation as Democratic achievements. He criticized past Republican administrations, noting General Billy Mitchell’s court martial and allowing Al Capone to run the country, while praising Roosevelt’s recovery era. Local candidates and party officials attended the event in the OU Center ballroom.
