...cartels that would prove no more workable than the U.S. farm price-support program. Another idea is for the U.S. and other buyer nations to stockpile raw materials from underdeveloped nations. But since the U.S. already has full stockpiles of most commodities, any addition to them would be a dole...
...also lay a political ploy, aimed at shifting the responsibility for diluting the reciprocal trade bill from the Democratic Congress to the Republican Administration. Rayburn's friend and proteégeé, Democrat Wilbur Mills of Arkansas, suffered a humiliating defeat when the House recently voted down a dole-type unemployment-compensation bill approved by his Ways & Means Committee (TIME, May 12). Hopeful of succeeding Rayburn as Speaker one day, Mills was desperately anxious to avoid even the possibility of a similar defeat. But as a longtime supporter of reciprocal trade, he was also anxious to avoid the blame...
Dwight Eisenhower slapped hard on the Cabinet table in front of him, snapped Republican congressional leaders out of their early-morning reverie. "It's a dole," said the President of the U.S. "I'm not going to stand for it."

New York's old Dan Reed grunted that it was "panicky political irresponsibility." But on a key vote-whether to include the additional 900,000 unemployed-the Republicans lost to the committee majority, 14-7. In losing, however, they had solace. If the bill's final draft clears the Ways and Means Committee on schedule this week, it will face heavy opposition on the House floor...
