From Washington Straight

CATO

In recent months congressional mail has been increasingly critical of both the President and his program and this criticism has been echoed in visits to the hustings. As a result, most Republics Democrats have become extraordinarily wary of Administration proposals. The vote to recommit the omnibus Freeman Farm Bill—on which 48 Democrats joined all but one Republican and a good many —was a clear illustration of this. Among the Republicans at least, there is a growing reluctance to place any confidence in the Executive, a sentiment which seems to have escaped a not inconsiderable number of Liberal newsmen, although there are inklings that some, James Reston of the Times among them, smell trouble in the air.
