Democrats Attack Mitchell Over Labor Report Claims
The Democratic National Committee accused Secretary of Labor Mitchell of statistical sleight of hand in a labor report to President Eisenhower. They released a fact sheet alleging padding of employment figures, misattributed gains to Democrats, and a cover-up of opposition to liberal measures such as Social Security revision. They challenged Mitchell's four year and seasonal comparisons and noted defense spending and tax allocations in context of peace.
