winning if there was some Demo-

Il feel that the strongest individ-

presidency on the Democratic ticket
is none other than Gen. Eisen-
hover" Mr.. Mahoney added.
There are many of us who feel
that if Gen. Eisenhower were ac-
tually nominated at the convention,
he could not possibly turn down
such nomination and that it would
be his duty in the interest of all
people of the country to accept the
nomination.

meeting at which the Senator and
others saw the President. Senator
McGrath would not say who else
attended the meeting.
The only comment from the White
House itself was a statement from
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross that
the story lis news to me-" Mr.. Ross
said he had heard of no such effort
and if anything of the sort is under
taken it was without his knowledge.
Says Reports Were Flying.
George Allen is a close friend Of
Gen. Eisenhower and he may have
something of the sort in mind" Mr..
Ross said. adding that questioners
should get in touch with Mr.. Allen.
Senator McGrath said those re-
ports were flying around all day
yesterday" He said one report had
it the White House had drafted a
take-out letter for Gen. Eisenhower
to sign. The senator termed this
ridiculous.
The Post-Dispatch story, however,
was the first to appear in print on
the subject.
A Columbia University spokesman
said in New York that Gen. Eisen-

expressions, In which 1t is said the

SpeciaI Session for
GO. P. Showdown

Democrats thinking in campaign
terms are toying with the idea of
. special session of Congess to force
&. showdown with Republicans on
Platform pledges adopted at the
recent Philadelphia convention.
Some Democrats were propos-
ing that President Truman call
Congress back after the Democratic
convention and challenge the
Republicans to do something about
such issues as housing and prices
Those issues got scant attention on
Capitol Hill, but figured strongly in
the COP platform.
The President refused to comment
on the special session question at
his news conference yesterday. He
has power to call Congress back at
any time.
McGrath Cites Pressure.
Senator McGrath Of Rhode
Island, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, told reporters
pressure is coming from many
people for Mr.. Truman to call Con-
9ress back.
Senator McGrath had just issued
a formal blast at what he called the
dismal failure" of the Republican,
controlled Eightieth Congress. He
said people will remember Congress
record when they vote in November.
Representative Spence of Ken
lucky, ranking Democrat on the
House Banking Committee, said he
is one of those in favor of special
session call.
Declaring that "the Republican
platform reads like an indictment of
the Republican Congress-" Repre-
sentative Spence added to newsmen:
The President should call Con-
gress back and challenge the Repub-
licans to make good on their plat
form He should call on the Repub-
licans to do something about the
high cost of living and about hous-
ing"

by special session, because the
President would be sure to veto any
thing we did. The American people
will just have to wait until Dewey
gets into the White House"
Gov. Dewey of New York, the
COP presidential nominee, said
after last months Republican Con-

imposition on Congress members to
call them back at this time
