GOP Leaders Hit Patronage Policy
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Styles Bridges (R.-N.H.) warned the administration today that Republican organization leaders from around the country are "boiling" about patronage.
He gave this appraisal to reporters on the basis of conversations with party leaders who were in Washington this week-end for the GOP national committee meeting and the kickoff of the annual Republican observance of Lincoln's birthday.
Sen. Bridges, president pro tempore of the Senate, said he found the organization leaders "generally approved President Dwight D. Eisenhower's program and some of them were enthusiastic about it."
"But they were very emphatic in their criticism of the failure to change personnel on the second and third echelons of the executive departments," he added.
He said many Republicans felt there has been a failure to replace Democratic appointees in patronage jobs with persons more sympathetic to the new administration.
"In some cases they (the administration) are reappointing Democratic appointees without consulting Republican members of Congress or the Republican state organizations." Sen. Bridges complained.
He said criticism by the state leaders was not aimed at chairman Leonard W. Hall of the Republican national committee.
Wives Called Key To Coffee Prices
Washington —(U.P.)— A Senate subcommittee opened formal hearings today on soaring coffee prices, but Sen. J. Allen Frear, Jr. (D.Del.) said American housewives are the real key to the problem.
"Housewives can do more than we can ever hope to accomplish if they will use more coffee substitutes and milk," he said. "The coffee people know it and it worries them."
A member of the special Banking subcommittee handling the investigation, he suggested that Americans eliminate coffee from at least one or two meals daily as the sure-fire way to drive prices down.
The investigation is the third wave in the official attack on zooming prices, the other two having been conducted by an agriculture committee and the Federal Trade commission.

Toll Road Proposed
Wichita—(U.P.)—Officials hope that a proposed Kansas toll road can be completed late in 1957, Allen Hodnett, a member of the Kansas Turnpike authority, said last night.
