Democrats Say Ike Needs Them
Washington — (U.P.) The Democratic National committee has advised the party to urge the election of a Democratic Congress to put over President Eisenhower's programs and end "Republican give-aways."
In a 96-page "fact book" for election campaigners, the committee said a Democratic Congress is needed to enact the Eisenhower trade and housing programs. It also said it also would come in handy to stave off another attempt to pass the Bricker treaty-limiting amendment.
The booklet followed the theme of a "give 'em hell" letter former President Truman wrote to a Democratic meeting at Indianapolis last week urging election of a Democratic Congress to save Mr. Eisenbower from "the misdeeds of his own party."
It criticizes the Republican record of the last two years on 26 major topics, including taxes, labor, agriculture, defense, trade, power, and the conduct of foreign policy. It also lists 17 instances in which "the Republicans failed to act on needed programs or did not keep GOP promises."
A concluding chapter on "why a Democratic Congress should be elected" claims a Democratic Congress would "help end paralysis in foreign policy" caused by "Old Guard domination of Congress" and would mean fewer "giveaways."

Hardwick introduced his three children to their grandmother and Mrs. Nolte followed suit with her three children. But she said that "in the excitement I forgot to introduce my husband."
The son said his parents had been separated in England in 1919 and were later divorced.
The father took his children to the United States in 1926 and subsequently refused to tell them anything about their mother.
Hardwick said he knew that she lived in England. Two years ago he wrote a Mother's Day poem based on recollections of his mother and the English neighborhood where he had once lived.
Last July he mailed the poem to a London newspaper and only 10 days after it arrived three newsmen found his mother.
Hardwick, his sister and another son, Alfred, of Cedar Lake. Ind., pooled their savings and brought

U.S.Retaliation 'A Certainty'
Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy commission, was asked in a television interview yesterday whether a surprise Soviet attack might destroy facilities for hitting back.
"I believe nothing could prevent a swift, certain . . . retaliation," he said.
Mr. Straus said the nation's bomb-makers can now produce weapons "of any size and power that military requirements call for." However, he "declined for security reasons to discuss the power of the newer hydrogen weapons or the size of the U.S. stockpile of nuclear bombs.
