amd Register, Beckley, Sunday Morning, April Democratic Chairman Charges GOP Attack On JK Steel Action Made To Pay Off Political Debt WASHINGTON Democratic National Chairman John M. Bailey accused Republican congressional leaders Saturday of pacing off a political debt by attacking President Kennedy's action in the steel price dispute. He issued a statement denouncing; GOP House and Senate leaders who said Thursday that the President had used his office to "blackjack" the steel industry Into revoking price increases. Bailey said the GOP response "demonstrates once again that the Republican party plus the selfish and narrow interests of the few ahead of the welfare of the aver- age American family." "Officers and directors of the big steel companies gave.more than $135,000 to the Republicans in the 1960 campaign," he said. "It is natural that they should have turned to the recipients of this largesse when they sought some organization to make a sneak attack 'upon the President that they were undoubtedly afraid to make in their own names.

It is also natural that the Republicans should be glad to oblige their generous friends." BaHey said the GOP was "strangely silent" for 10 days during and after the price dispute and did nothing "to protect the public interest and prevent an inflationary, spiral" "Only when the President, aided by the forces of competition, had safeguarded the public interest and was safely out of town, did they suddenly decide they could attack him in a crudely partisan manner," Bailey said. "The Republicans know that it is arrant nonsense to compare the public activities of the President and the executive branch with the secret violence of a police state. The Republicans know that the President's actions did not deprive any American of any freedom including the freedom of foolish utterance which has. been exercised by the Republican leaders." Observing that the GOP leaders had taken no stand on whether the price increase was justified, sale Bailey: "Were they for or against the price increase? If they were against it, how would they have protected the public. If they were for it, why not tell that the people." Bailey said reports from throughout the nation indicated public -support for the President's action.
