Senators split on Taft’s impact on floor leader post
In Washington two Republican senators diverged on Taft of Ohio and his attack on Eisenhower’s Labor Secretary nominee. One taft ally backed passing leadership to Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, while another backer warned Taft must bow out. Bridges, aiming at Senate leadership and time for the appropriation panel, may remain through a leadership contest despite shifts after the election. Knowland remains Taft’s rival, and the stakes center on party harmony and committee duties.
