White House
Isn't Doing
Too Body

Congress has approved 1877
per cent Of President Eisen-
hower's legislative program
for 1855. according to Con-
gressional Quarterly's box
score. Another 44.3 per cent
has progressed part way.
The Presidents midseason
batting average - rejecting
congressional action through
May 8-represents approval Of
25 Of his 183 legislative re-
quests. Only one of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's proposals had been
rejected.
Twenty-four requests were
on their way IL of them
passed by one house and IL
awaiting floor action after
committee clearance. Com
mittee hearings had been held
on another 50.
Eight points Of the Presi-
dents program had sustained
setbacks - unfavorable action
at some stage - but stayed
alive.
The remaining 73 legislative
requests had not started the
long climb up Capitol Hill.
although bills to implement
most of them had been intro
duced.
Deceptiveiy Low
Mr.. Eisenhower's box score
of 1877 per cent is deceptively
low, since Congress usually
completes most of its work in
the last weeks before adjourn
ment. And action on some
points of the program will be
postponed until the second
session, in 1856. After three
months of the 1854 session,
the box score stood at only 2.3
per cent. BY the end of the
year Congress had okayed
64.7 per cent of the legislative
program.
cos box score tabulates only
specific legislative requests by
the President, emitting pro-
posals by his subordinates.
When Congress modifies a
presidential proposal, the re-
sulting compromise is weighed
to determine whether or not,
on balance, it strikes close
enough to the mark to count
as favorable action.
Eisenhower Leeds Trumon
Congress has treated Mr..
Eisenhower more kindly than
1t treated President Truman.
In his first two years, the
President scored $50 per cent.
Evening star., 1955-05-15

In six years. Truman pushed
through only 42.9 per cent of
his requests. He never once
got Congress to approve even
half his program, and in 1852
dipped to his low score, 34.9
per cent.
A lot has happened in the
last year to affect Mr.. Eisen-
hower's prospects. In 1854. as
headlines heralded the activi-
ties of Senator Joseph r. Nc
Carthy, Republican, Of Wis
consin, the President strug-
gled to focus attention on his
program. insisting that it was
the big issue. This year,
there's no comparable distrac-
ton.
But Democrats now control
Congress, and are using their
power to sift the Presidents
program critically. When
united, they can reject any

House bucked. Republicans
scoring only ~ per cent, DEM
ocrats IS per cent. A factor
in the Senate's high score was
a series Of minor, noneon-
troveIsial treaties on such
matters as double taxation
Conflict over reciprocal trade
cut down the House score.
Voters heard plenty of cam
paign speeches on Eisenhower
suppoft&in 1854. Many DEM
ocrats claimed credit for the
Presidents major victories,
contending he got key backing
from their party while Repub-
licans bucked his program as
too liberal. "Coattail riders"
answered Republicans, many
of whom based their appeal to
the voters on the argument
that Ike needs me-"
Strategists differ on the
political value of close iden-
tiflcation with the Presi-
dents program. Some DEM
ocrats believe much of the
glitter has rubbed off Mr..
Eisenhower's poll appeal, and
plan to keep rubbing until
until election day. 1856. They
doubt many Democrats can
win unless they show their
party has a program of its
own, differing from the ad-
ministration's on major points.
Roll calls later in the Ses-
sion, when hotter issues reach
the vote stage, may change the
picture, but so far support
scores provide little evidence
that Democrats are following
a pugnacious approach. In
f1uenced by such leaders as
Senator Lyndon B. johnson,
Democrat, Texas they appar-
emily are picking their spots
for opposition - hoping to
avoid the stigma of obstruc-
tioniSm.
Eisenhower Wins 81
So far, it's been a success
full session for Mr.. Eisenhower.
He has won 18 tests in the
Senate and lost only three.
The House has treated him a
bit more roughly. rebuffing
him on six of 10 votes. This
makes 81 tests the President
has won.
Since Democrats are in the
majority, the President needs

votes through May 8.
The President has won most

voted to uphold the President
81 per cent Of the time-dis-
playing less enthusiasm than
in 1854, when they scored "a
per cent. Democrats sup
ported Mr.. Eisenhower 81 per
cent of the time-a big gain
over their 1854 score of 80 per
cent.
Leadership was Issue
Those marks are based on all
40 of the roll calls that placed
the Presidents program and
leadership on the line. Each
vote involved an issue on which
the President was on record
for or against.
Eighteen of the 40 roll calls
concerned foreign policy. In
that area, Democrats voted
with the President SO per cent
of the time, Republicans only
50 per cent. In fact, House
Republicans opposed the Presi-
dent more often than they
supported him on foreign
policy.
Right down the line, Mr.. Eli
senhower had more trouble
with the House than with the
Senate. On all roll calls test
ing support, Senate Republic
cans scored IA per cent. House
Republicans 81 per cent. On
the Democratic side, Senators

tives 56 per cent. Last year,
