Right to Work Whom A Question of Slogan and Labor Rights
An official of the National Catholic Welfare Council rejects so called right to work laws as attacks on labor organizing. Father John F Cronin argues such proposals are driven by management to weaken unions. He warns against denial of workers rights to organize and to worship. He notes the real motive is opposition to unions and job demands for low pay and long hours.

Lippmann’s take on Eisenhower GOP election outcomes
Columnist Walter Lippmann argues Eisenhower failed to persuade voters to back more GOP candidates in 1954. He says the president appeased the right wing but did not bolster the liberal wing, risking a divided party and limited congressional influence. Ohio senator Bricker is humorously noted leaving the White House.

He faulted the Administration for delayed action and urged private enterprise to drive immediate recovery, noting the need for higher production in 1955 and stronger tax cuts earlier to stimulate the economy.

Analyzing The Election Smears and Shifts in 1950s Politics
Political analysts note four key trends from the election. Smear tactics by Nixon had limited impact, McCarthyism failed for its proponents, Eisenhower’s popularity didn't uplift allies, and Democratic state tickets surged as voters backed pro growth programs amid economic concerns. Eisenhower urged full government power to combat unemployment six days before the vote.
