|NcKeIdin Says
By the Associated Press

Maryland's Republican Gov.
Theodore r. McKeldin said last
night his party is out Of step
with the will of the people and
if it isn't corrected the g. o. P.
may "never win another VIC
tory"
Gov. McKeldin said the Mo-
vember 6 election showed "the
people of this country have UNI
bounded confidence in President
Eisenhower" but "are very dis
trustful Of the party that he
leads"
In an address prepared for
the Washington meeting Of the
North Carolina Society Of the
Cincinnati, Gov. McKeldin noted
that while President Eisenhower
received the second largest popu-
lar majority ever recorded, the
Republicans lost Congress.
Cites 1860 Necessity
The Republicans would not
have won the presidency with
out Mr.. Eisenhower, Gov. Nc
Keldin said, but he reminded
that Mr.. Eisenhower can't run
for a third term.
1T is imperative, therefore,
that we bring the Republican
Party into line with the will of
the people before the next presi-
Dental election and, if possible,
before the congressional cleo
tons of 1858.
The way is clearly marked,
Gov. McKeldin said. In fact, he
said. Democratic presidential
candidate Adlai Stevenson point
ed the way.
Telling Blow Pointed Out
"The really effective argu-
ments of Mr.. Stevenson, the ar
guments that won both Senate
and House for his party, were
invariably based on some in
stance in which the Republican
Party failed to give the .Presi-
dent loyal and effective support"
Gov. McKeldin said.
He went on: "Stevenson's most
telling argument was based on
the ineffectiveness of our for
eign policy. Note that / did not
say failure I said ineffective
ness Our policy has not failed
as yet"
But he said that it is clear
some ground has been lost.
