Truman and other top Democrats against the Republican administration, said today that “creeping Hooverism” is hurting the farmers and threatening the national economy. Shakeup Rocks Czech Government VIENNA (UP) — A major reorganization of the Communist Czechoslovakian government in which eight of the 10 vice premier posts were eliminated was announced today by Prague radio. The drastic shakeup dropped veteran revolutionary Gen. Karol Bacilek, 57, gained a reputation for ruthlessness as minister of security, or chief of secret police. In his post, he presumably worked closely with Lavrenti P. Berla, former boss of Communist secret police last reported under arrest in Moscow and awaiting trial as a traitor. Soviet Pattern Bacilek was appointed general secretary of the Slovak Communist party. The remaining seven vice premiers whose offices were abolished were given jobs in various government ministries or in the Communist party. Observers here said the far reaching changes left President Antonin Zapotocky and Premier Villam Siroky apparently still in firm control of the Soviet satellite. The merger of imministries reported by Prague followed the Soviet pattern laid down by Premier Georgi M. Malenkov and brought Czechoslovakia into line with the other Eastern European satellites which have carried out such reforms. New Police Head The administrative reshuffle left but two vice premiers in the new government, Jaromir Oclansky and Defense Minister Alexel Cepicka. To western observers the big question mark in the new Czech government is Rudolf Barak, new minister of interior. Barak had not been a prominent figure in post war Czechoslovakia. Now he apparently is in complete control of Czechoslovakia. Williams led a panel discussion at which Democrats attending a two-day conference mapped plans to capture the farm vote in next year’s congressional elections. Party officials attending the conference were sparked by speeches attacking the Republican administration made at a $100-a-plate dinner last night by Mr. Truman, 1952 presidential nominee Adal E. Stevenson, Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois, and House Minority Leader Sam Rayburn. Williams carried the attack today. Leaks in Economy “Historically, the leaks which foundered our economy into recessions and depressions have sprung first in agriculture.” Williams said. “Under the Republican farm policy there is evidence of leaks today.” “We don’t want creeping Hooverism for our farmers or for any other segment of our economy and that’s just what we’re getting from the Republican party.” Williams said that “creeping Hooverism can lead to galloping recession if present agricultural trends continue.” The Michigan governor recalled that President Eisenhower made one of his first major campaign speeches last year at a plowing contest near Kasson, Minn. He said Mr. Eisenhower made “some of history’s biggest campaign promises to the farmers” there. “Everybody remembers those golden promises,” he said. “Republican promises are golden—but Republican performance is tarnished brass.” The Democratic meeting will be climaxed tonight when Stevenson makes a nationwide television and radio report on his recent world tour. Today’s agricultural panel was one of the most important meetings of the Democratic conference as it became apparent that the party would make an all out pitch for the farm vote in 1954. The Democrats, meanwhile gave their North-South loyalty fight a quiet burial, at least until the 1958 National Convention, to join hands for the fight to win control of Congress next year.
