Republican, Democratic
Platforms Compared

CHICAGO. July Is (AP).-
Here's a thumbnail sketch on
how Republican and Democratic
platforms stack up on planks
already approved by the G. o. P.
platform committee:
! National Defense Republi-
cans promise to continue and
improve present military and
preparedness programs which
they declare have kept the
Nation sufficiently powerful to
meet Communist thrusts and
its military might second to
none. There is no price ceiling
on Americas security. they say.
Democrats, on the other
hand, charge the Eisenhower
administration has allowed the
Nations pre-eminence to be-
come overshadowed in such
vital defense and military fields
as missiles and conquest Of
space, for reasons of economy.
They speak of restoration Of
United States superiority in
all defense fields.
Economic Growth-Republi-
cans pledge further growth
which would be achieved by
giving full reign to free enter
prise, encouraged by broadly
based tax reforms to foster job
making investments.
Democrats would achieve
such growth by setting up
easier money policies and by
increasing Government spend
ing in a number of economic
and welfare fields. Republi-
cans reject increased Federal
spending contending it would
foster artificial growth.
Agriculture Republicans
would seek to increase farm
income by establishing a
greatly expanded soil bank
program for reducing price
depressing farm surpluses and
by employing somewhat higher
price supports than those fa-
vored by Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson.

Labor

Americas growth cannot be
compartmented. Labor and
management cannot prosper
without each other. They can
not ignore their mutual obli-
cation.
Industrial harmony, express
ing these mutual interests, can
best be achieved in a climate
OF free collective bargaining
with minimal Government in
tervention except by mediation
and conciliation.
Even in dealing with emer-
gency situations imperiling the
national safety, ways of solu-
tion must be found to enhance
and not impede the processes
OF free collective bargaining
carefully considered ways that
are keeping with the policies
OF national labor relations leg
islation and with the need to
strengthen the hand of the
President in dealing with such
emergencies.
In the same spirit, Republi-
can leadership will continue
to encourage discussions, away
from the bargaining table. be-
tween labor and MANAGEMENT

of all Americans in maintain
ing industrial peace.

as a form of subversion against

promised to use every peaceful
means to help Iron Curtain
captive countries regain their
independence.
Emphasizes Mature Leadership
The platform preamble, as
we'll as the foreign policy plank,
emphasized the need for ma
ture" as well as experienced
leadership. 1t declared that the
leadership of the United
States must be responsible and
mature, its promises must be
rational and practical, soberly
pledged and faithfully under
taken" The preamble de-
scribed the platform as a call
to service and a pledge of such
leadership.
Gov. Rockefeller's criticism
of the Platform Committee
plank on national defense
meanwhile, was regarded as
aimed more at making the
record clear than at setting
up a convention floor fight.
The defense plank agreed
with the Nixon Rockefeller
declaration that the Nation
must spend whatever is neces-
sary to assure security against
any kind of ATTACK.
But a difference of two words
between it and the Nixon
Rockefeller statement of last
Saturday seemed to mute the
accent on urgency. The plank
m a n t ain e d that there is
no price ceiling on America s
security" The statement after
the meeting of the Vice Presi-
dent and the New York Gov
ernor said "there must be nc
price ceiling on Americas Sc
curity."
President Eisenhower today
indicated his agreement with
the platform plank defense.
Calls Plank stronger"
Representative Lipscomb of
California, the defense SUBJ
committee chairman, described
the plank as actually stronger
more responsive and more
rounded" than the Nixon
Rockefeller proposals on de-
fense policy and as avoiding the
Democratic plank's political
eXpediency."
The plank, although in line
with most of the Nixon Rookie
feller views, left no doubt that
the platform writers believe the
Eisenhower administration has
provided and will continue tc
provide the defenses we neec
to protect our freedom"
Gov. Rockefeller, ca the TV
panel show Meet the Press
last night. found fault with
some parts of the defense
plank. particularly with the
phrase Continuing preserva-
ton Of our retaliator
strength" He indicated he does
not believe there has been
enough retaliatory strength.
When the Platform Commit
tee adopted the defense plank,
the two New York members
voted against it. Gov. Rookie
feller explained last night that
they did so because New York
delegates do not believe the
plank faced up as "realiStical-
ly" as it should to defense
needs. He added that he and
they would try to have the
plank revised. He said the New
York delegation would take "a
strong, vigorous position" on
the convention floor.

This proposal, similar to
Rockefeller agreement on plat
form pledges. nevertheless fell
short of that statements en-
phasis on the need for forma-
ton Of political considerations
Of that kind.
Proposing that such group
ings follow the European COM
mon market example of
strengthening economies, the
plank added: And if from
these institutions there should
follow stronger economic and
political unions we would well
come them with our support"
Promises ENCOURAGEMENT
The Nixon-Rockefeller dec
laration held that "the vital
need of our foreign policy is
new political creativity leading
and inspiring the formation, in
all great regions of the free
world, of considerations large
enough and strong enough to
meet modern problems and
challenges" 1t urged immedi-
ate moves toward formation
of such considerations in the
North Atlantic community and
the Western Hemisphere.
Instead, the plank promised
to encourage countries Ito initi-
ate appropriate regional group
ingS to work out plans for eco
nomic and education develop
ment." 1t called attention to
the United Nations special fund
as a means Of assisting in such
plans.
A major role Of the United
States, it said, would be to offer
cooperation in planning and
technical personnel and to in
vite other countries with ad-
vanced economies to share with
the United States in providing
capital and technical aid. The
plank stressed the desirability
of private capital and Govern
ment loans rather than grants
ito foster independence and
mutual respect"
The foreign policy pledge,
as we'll as a preamble state
ment, followed release of eight
other planks the committee
previously approved for sub
mission to the convention
Wednesday night.
Still to be approved formally
are plankS on civil rights and
education.
The foreign policy plank
conformed to a considerable
extent to Nixon Rockefeller
proposals on disarmament. 1t
advocated early international
agreement to "forego" nuclear
tests in the atmosphere and
suspend other tests as vertical
ton techniques permit. 1t in
sisted on adequate safeguards
but stood ready to negotiate
and to institute realistic meth
ods for disarmament and for
the suspension of nuclear tests.
Underground Tests Asked
The Nixon-Rockefeller state
ment sought to intensity the
quest for better detection
methods, discontinue nuclear
weapon tests in the atmosphere.
discontinue other tests as de-
lection methods make possible,

derground nuclear testing for

Of space and the atom.
We Republicans express our
profound gratitude to the great
scientists and engineers of our
country, both in and out of
government, for the remarkable
progress they have made. Re-
liable evidence indicates, all
areas Of scientific knowledge
considered, that our country
has been, is, and, under our
system Of free inquiry, will con-
tinue to be the greatest arsenal
and reservoir of effective scien-
tific knowledge in the world.
We pledge our continued
leadership in every field of sci
ence and technology, earth
bound as well as spatial, to as
sure a citadel of liberty from
which the fruits of freedom
may be carried to all people.
Our continuing and great ma
tional need is for basic re-
search-a wellSpring of knowl-
edge and progress. Government
must continue to take a respon-
sible role in science to assure
that worthwhile endeavors of
national significance are not
retarded by practical limita-
tions Of private and local sup
port. This demands from all
Americans the intellectual lead
ership and understanding so
necessary for these creative en-
deavorS and an equal under
standing by our scientists and
technicians of the needs and
hopes of mankind.
We believe the Federal roles
in research to be in the area
of Cd basic research which
industry cannot be reasonably
expected to pursue, and (2)
applied research in fields of
prime national concern such
as national defense, explora-
ton and use of space, public
health, and better common use

Scientific Vigor

The vigor Of American SCI

inspired by:
l. An environment Of freedom
and public understanding in
which intellectual achievement
and scientific research may
flourish.
2. A decentralization of re-
search into as many centers of

3. The encouragement OF
colleges and universities, pri-
vate enterprise, and found
atlons as growing source OF
new ideas and new applications.
4. Opportunity for scientists
and engineers, in and out of
Government, to pursue their
search with utmost aggressive
ness.
5. Continuation OF the advis-
ory committee to represent the
views of the scientific COM
munity to the President of the
Federal Council for Science and
Technology to foster co-ordin-
alton in planning and execu-
ton.
