Administration's Worth At Half-Year Mark
The Eisenhower administration marks six months in office amid split views from Republicans and Democrats. Halleck says Congress cut appropriations and achieved a magnificent job. McCormack counters that promises were unmet and the Taft-Hartley law, social security expansion, and other goals were not realized. By adjournment Aug. 1, most of the 10-point program is in place except for Hawaiian statehood, Taft-Hartley changes, and social security improvements. The excess profits tax cut was postponed to Jan. 1.
