'Won't-Do' Congress Stalls
Administration Program
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican National Chairman today labeled the current Congress a won't-do Congress, and said it is bogged down on many fronts.
"It won't accept substantial and vital portions of the President's program," the chairman, Senator Thurston B. Morton (R-Ky.) said of the Democratic-controlled Congress. "And it won't come up with an alternative program of its own."
"In these times," Morton continued in a speech prepared for a National Press Club luncheon, "a won't-do Congress just won't do."
He said that in view of its record, "I cannot believe that the 'won't-do Congress' is going to produce the Democratic Presidential nominee."
Morton mentioned no names, but four senators are the men most often mentioned as Democratic Presidential possibilities. They are Lyndon Johnson of Texas, John Kennedy of Massachusetts, Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, and Stuart Symington of Missouri.
