NEW YORK, (AP) - The chairmen of the Republican and Democratic national committees today gave the nation's business leaders their explanations of the Democratic sweep in the November 4 elections. Needless to say, they disagreed.
GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn blamed his party's poor showing on a combination of factors, mainly in the downturn in employment and general business activity. He contended the Republicans still have the "better product to sell," but "we lack the sales force."
His Democratic counterpart, Paul M. Butler, said the results were a "ringing repudiation of the Eisenhower Administration and its failure to provide aggressive full-time and forward-looking leadership in the areas of economic growth, employment, cost of living, labor legislation, education, defense, human rights and foreign policy."
In the elections last month, the Republicans lost 13 Senate seats, a net of 47 House seats, and a net of 5 governorships.
