Butler Says Ike
Is “Captive” Of
Administration
BEVERLY BILLS, (JB— Demo
cratic National Chairman Paul
Butler, stoking up the political
hot stove after two weeks in
Alaska, charges that President
Eisenhower is the “captive” of an
“unethical” administration.
And Butler predicts further dis
closures by congressional investi
gating groups in the next session
will seal a Republican defeat in
1956.
The President, Butler told a
news conference yesterday, “has
demonstrated a shocking lack of
awareness of the responsibilities
of administrative office in the
civilian end of government.”
Butler said he thought the
President “wants to do what’s
best for the American people, but
he’s being misled and misused”
and is “a captive of the small
coterie around him.”
