AS the key figure in a dramatic
development that might give him
the deciding vote now, Morse left
no doubt where his sympathies lie.
He said the election results had
demonstrated very clearly that
the reactiOnary record Of the Ei-
senhower Administration was re-
pudiated by a majority of the vO-
ters of the country"
Morse Left Party
One of the first to urge Eisen7
hover to become candidate for
the COP presidential nomination,
Morse left the party in the 1852
campaign to oppose Eisenhower's s
election because Of policy differen-
ces. He campaigned actively for
Democratic candidates in the mid
term election, but has not indica-
ted whether he will run for re-
election as a Democrat in 1856.
Asserting that he is convinced
that by 1856 the Eisenhower Ad-
ministratiOn will be turned out of
office, as 1t should be in the nat
iOnal interest" Morse urged for
ward looking" members of Con-
gress to try as hard as they can
in checking the sell-Out Of the Ei-
| senhOWer Administration to big
| business interests, and to carry
I the fight to the voters two years
from now.
Democratic control of the House
meant that President Eisenhower
would have to deal with opposition
party leaders to get action on his
Legislative program.
win Work With Democrats
The President told a news con.
ference he will ask the Democratic
leaders to confer with him.
"If there are any rOadblOckS
thrown in the way of cooperation
with Democratic leaders), I an
not going to be responsible, The
President said.
Rep. Sam Rayburn, of Texas
who will become speaker of th'
new House, said he and Senator

RaybUrn said at his BOnham
Tex, home that Democrats in Con
gress won't hate Ike as Roosevelt
and Truman were hated, a refer
ence to past Republican criticism
of Democratic presidents.

Rayburn said. I'VE will vote 70

Johnson avoided discussion G
policies, and of the Senate cOntrC
issue, but said the Democrats wi
cooperate with the President whe
they think he is right.
Hints At Intentions
Rayburn gave a hint of Demo
? cratic intentions when he predicte
the Democrats will "straighten OF
the farm program, and try to get

structure, and see where Unequal
