The independent Citizens for
Eisenhower" committee which
helped swell the Presidents six
million vote majority in 1852 is
back in business. 1t is aiming
this time at the IS Congressional
districts whose incumbents won
by less than 5 per cent of the
total vote.
Where the incumbent is a Re-
publican, the reorganized "Na-
tional Citizens for Eisenhower
Congressional Committee" hopes
to push him back into office by
a comfortable margin.

hopes to push him out of Office
by a comfortable margin.
In this endeavor, it expects
to cooperate with the Repub-
lican National Committee, State
Republican groups and the Sem
ate and House Congressional
C mpaign Committees. But
Chairman James L. Murphy. a
former San Francisco advertis-
ing man who had charge of the
"Citizens for Eisenhower Nixon"
campaign in Northern California,
emphasizes that the group will
be strictly independent. And it
won't help just any old Repub-
lican.

On Most Of Program
It Democrats Help
BY Jock Bell
Assoeiosed Press Stoff Writer

Senator .Knowland, Republi-
can. of California, predicted yes
terday that Congress will approve
substantial portion" of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's legislative
program if the Democrats give
expected help.
The California Senator, who
serves as Republican floor lead
er, said in an interview that
he believes Gen. Eisenhower
made it "very clear" in his state
of-the- e-Union message that he
wants Democratic cooperation
on domestic, as well as. foreign
problems.
Replying to a reporters ques-
ton as to whether the Presi-
dents lack of criticism of the
minority party in the message
represented an administration
policy to tone down G. o. P. at
tacks on the Democrats, Senator
KnoW1nd replied:
81 think everyone recognizes
that with Congress so closely
divided. no program of either
foreign policy or domestic affairs
can be passed without getting
support from both parties.
Sees Democratic Support.
"I think the Presidents pro-
gram will have the support of a
substantial number of Demo-
Gratis. 1 think the President
made it very clear he hopes his
program will have the support
of the Democrats and I certainly
hope. it will have that support"
House Minority Leader Ray
burn recently said the Democrats
would back presidential propo-
sails they believed were in the
interest of the country. But
Mr.. Rayburn added that the
Democrats backs are getting a
little sore" from Republican at
tackS on the CommuniSt-in-
Government issue.
Controversy is expected to
flare over Gen. EiSenhoWer'S
farm and labor proposals when
they are laid before Congress
tomorrow in special presidential
messages.
Proposals for changes in, the
Taft Hartley Act were said to
have been reduced to fewer than
10 amendments, instead of the
series of 10 drawn up last sum-
mer by Martin Durkin, AFL
leader, before he quit as Gen.
Eisenhower first Secretary of
Labor.
Confer on Arms Budget.
Involved in the changes prob
ably will be proposals for equali-
zation of the non-Communist

ers but not of employers.
Chairman H. Alexander Smith
said he hopes the Senate Labor
Committee can begin voting soon
on bill which he will introduce
incorporating the Presidents
proposals.
Chairman Bridges of the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee
and other legislators have been
sitting in with Pentagon officials
