Differences On Issues Split Washington Campaign Rhetoric
In Washington Aug 17 Democratic Chairman Robert E Hannegan and Republican leader B Carroll Reece sparked a fall campaign clash with sharp charges. Senator Capper criticized Hannegan for accusing Republicans of blocking postwar programs while Senator Taylor mocked Reece saying he talked thru his hat about gaining control for Republicans. Reece warned of a GOP led probe that could dwarf war profit disclosures. Taylor blamed big industrialists tied to contracts for any government money irregularities. Hannegan urged a return to old fashioned conservatism amid wartime hardship. Capper pressed that the clash aimed to confuse voters and that GOP support grows on major issues.
