Morse Attacks Ike and Backs Stevenson in Rift
Sen. Wayne Morse charges President Eisenhower bows to reactionaries and says he will vote for Gov. Stevenson. Morse, a frequent GOP dissenter, criticizes Eisenhower’s alleged compromises and calls him untruthful, declaring the Eisenhower he supported is gone. He earlier indicated a switch after campaigning hesitations. The same report notes the National Labor Relations Board ruling on union shop voting procedures and contract terms, with a call to drop a union shop clause if a majority votes to void it.
