"Eisenhower and Taft hold very similar views on domestic policy and if Ike were elected president, Taft would do most of the writing on domestic policy and legislation," Earl M. Kulp '52, President of the Eisenhower-for-President Club, said last night.
He debated against Martin C. Needier '51, Executive Board member of the Harvard Liberal Union, sponsors of the debate.
Speaking on "Ike on the Issues," Kulp also declared that Eisenhower is not for States Rights, but he is for assigning more powers and duties to local and state governments. Kulp claimed that Ike is opposed to loyalty oaths for teachers and against indiscriminate labelling of people as communists.
Needler countered by saying that; "we need someone who knows issues, has worked with issues, and is trained in the issues, and I would say that to elect Ike would be like writing a blank check, since he isn't committed on anything."
