Gamers Statement
Most of the loose talk about a
political truce and a legislative
armistice between the two par
ties disappeared today in the
wake of vigorous statement by
Representative Jack Garner, the
Democratic Speaker-to-be. 1t fol
lowed a series of Democratic con
ferences. Garner said:
1--WE have no reason to as
sumo the infalIibility of the
administration. Indeed, the ex-
perience of the past two years
pretty clearly demonstrates
that no such assumption is pos
Sible.
ut is not inconceivable that
when the President offers re-
OmmendatiOn to accomplish a
given result, such as the en-
cOuragement of business, the
Democrats may have their own

everything in their power to
substitute their own process for
the one suggested.
