A CCORDING to a recent poll by Congressional Quarterly mem­ bers of the 83rd congress give top billing to Korea, tax reduction, and economy in government as the key issues of 1954 election campaigns. Of 223 senators and representa­ tives who responded, 85 per cent picked Korea as a major Issue in the coming campaign from a list of 40 potential 1954 topics. Tax reduction was the issue next most frequently selected, polling 75 per cent of the vote. Seventy- three per cent of those who re­ sponded —112 Democrats and 109 Republicans —ranked economy In government as the third hotest topic. Broken down the poll shows some variation which can be attributed to party affiliations. For instance. Republicans rated Korea first, but scored economy In government in second spot, followed by tax re­ duction, budget balancing and tax revision. ■ ■ Democrats also gave top priority to Korea, but they selected tax re­ duction next, farm and livestock prices third, farm price supports fourth, and economy In government they dropped to fifth. One Democrat who was polled said that the “issues will be falling farm prices, tight money and a giveaway of natural resources to the new 'preferred customers'. “ A Republican said he expected “the one overriding issue will be the support of President Eisen­ hower,” It Is dliTicult, sideline observers say. to predict which of the two groups more accurately reflect pub­ lic thinking. The answer, of course, will be expressed in the 1954 election. * • • • Tho resignation of .Martin P. Durkin as Secretary of Labor, la believed by some quarters to end the “honeymoon" of labor and the new Republican administration. Durkin resigned, according to a statement, because the White House staff members had, In his opinion broken an agreement to press for 19 Taft-Hartlcy Act amendments. > Some Democrats and union offi­ cials immediately made propagan­ da over Durkin's resignation. They claim his exit as evidence of big- business domination of the Elsen­ hower Administration. They hope t to make tho Taft-Hartlcy Labor Law a major issue In next year's ' congressional election. ! • • • i • Stephen A. Mitchell, chairman j of the Democratic National Com­ mittee. has made it plain that one J of the issues the Democrats Intend s to hammer at during the 1954 cam- | paign Is the Eisenhower farm ; policy, ~ j The issue of declining farm prices has been the only one on which the Democrats in congress—South­ erners, and non-Soulherncrs alike —have been able thus for to line genuine unity. Reliable sources report that President Eisenhower has taken very little part in planning his ad­ ministration's farm policy. He has left this in the hand of his hard­ working, hard-praying Secretary ot Agriculture. Ezra Taft Benson. WATCH w Vkxt SPACE
