Democrats Fire Broad Sides At Ike And GOP
In Washington Democrats accused the Eisenhower administration of claiming peace where none exists and robbing citizens to pay financiers. Harry S. Truman denounced high interest policy as the cause of recession and, comparing Republicans to Shylock, urged voters to oppose perceived financial manipulation. He cited Treasury actions on money supply and taxes as squeezing ordinary citizens for a privileged few. A 1958 Democratic women’s conference in Washington rallied 2,000 members with speeches and workshops to energize fall elections. Senator Mansfield argued Americans might be in Red China if not for restraint on Republican enthusiasm, while criticizing policy toward the Middle East and support for autocratic movements.
