Kitchin Denies Opposing National Defense Policy
Representative Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, expected successor to Mr. Underwood as House majority leader, denounces newspaper reports that he opposed the administration's defense plan. He says he has never made such a statement and notes his district currently backs the policy by a large margin, though he would support it if informed of the true facts. His opposition, he says, is based on conscience and has not been discussed with constituents.
