GOP chairman Hub Brownell was siheduled to address the meeting, but was grounded ir Cincinnati, so Martin and several pineh-h- it other Republican for Brownell. Hottest question from the audience was: "Is it to be the Republican campaign line that the President has recently engaged in two political trips his Pacific trip ami mid his Quebec trip? The President was then in Quebec. Press Club president Sam O'Neal of the Chicago Sun asked the question and puked Martin tu x reply. Hesitating a moment, Martin answered; "I'm not a member of the national committee. I can t answer. O'Neal then turned lo Connecticuts Senator John Danahcr, who big-wi- always ready with an answet. Danaher sidestepped the question by asking. "Does any one doubt that politics are involved in the trip?"
