stration "of the confusion. cross
purposes and contradictions
/ which have created a Republican
leadership vacuum"
"The Republicans naturally
take a dim view of this move, -
he told the Women's National
Democratic Club, "for it is con-
trary to their traditional policy
of skimming off the cream for
the economically favored few
as they did in the 1854 tax meas
ure."
Mr.. Butler asserted there is
inconsistency in President Eisen-
hower's labelling of the Demo-
cratic proposal as "the height Of
fiscal responsibility"
The chairman said he has diff

Democratic tax cut this year
"for the primary benefit of the

Sponsible and inflationary, while
