REECE IS NEW
CHAIRMAN OF
REPUBLICANS
Tennessee Representative
Chosen Successor to
Herbert Brownell
WASHINGTON, April 2.- Harold E. Stassen sounded a discordant note today in Republican praises for the G.O.P. National Committee's choice of Rep. Carroll Reece of Tennessee as the party's new chairman.
Stassen, who is almost avowedly in the race for the 1948 presidential nomination, declared it is "well-known that I do not approve of Chairman Reece's stand on many issues in the past."
The former Minnesota governor's statement left little doubt about his disappointment over the committee's action in naming Reece, a close political associate of Senator Robert Taft and former Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio, over two other candidates. Reece succeeds Herbert E. Brownell, Jr., who resigned to devote full time to his New York law practice.
In his victory talk to the confident party members, Reece asserted that a "New Deal monopoly" has been in charge with resulting "secret" and "bureaucratic" government.
"As Republicans, we want labor and agriculture and the people generally to have their full rights," the new chairman said.
