Out of 16 major recommendations. only a few have been enacted into law. and the legislation passed only because of support of the Democrats. on many major issues members of his own party refused to stand behind him. The Presidents following proposals. all important to the majority of our people. have not been touched upon so far. due to his apathy and indifference: Extend the minimum wage to more workers. special Federal assistance to cut unemployment in distressed areas of the United States. extend and perfect the socialsecurity system. overhaul and improve the TaftHartley Act. legislation to control monopolistic mergers. Federal assistance for hospital construction with special reference to lowcost care of chronic cases and needs of older persons. increased Federal aid for medical care of the needy and to help build facilities to train more physicians and scientists. expansion of voluntary health insurance through Federal reinsurance and pooling arrangements. immediate statehood of Hawaii and Alaska. extend and liberalize the Refugee Relief Act. These may be called "sins of omission." Let us examine the record and we shall see that the Republicans have continued to carry out their policy of helping the moneyed interests and disregarding the needs and general welfare of the average citizen.
