much has been made of the fact
that Mr.. Eisenhower has failed

character" as one who has
never been man to dictate to

Republican of Utah. said yester-
day he expects Republican con-

He acknowledged that the big
reclamation bill. which cleared
Congress Wednesday, drew sup
port from members of both par

a good effect on the G. o. P.
because it was backed by Essen
