Republican congressional leaders tell President Eisenhower there is little chance to avoid a bitter clash over the Bricker Amendment. Weekend talks failed to yield a compromise before Monday’s White House session. Sen. John W. Bricker plans to urge passing the amendment as is, while the administration pledges to fight. The debate in the Senate could begin Tuesday or Wednesday, and a GOP open battle now looms as a threat to the party’s unity and the President’s program ahead of November elections. Randall commission trade policy may see some approval despite opposition. final outcomes appear unlikely this year. Senate labor committee members seek Labor Secretary Mitchell’s views on Eisenhower’s plan.
