Mitchell Says GOP To Follow Ike's Leadership CHICAGO. Fe. 12 WV-Sccrelary Labor Mitchell said tonight the Republican party will reject "the spokesmen of reaction and special groups interests" and continue to follow President Eisenhower's leadership in promoting the work ing people welfare.

In a Lincoln Day speech at a banquet of the Illinois State Cen tral Committee, Mitchell said that under the Eisenhower administration "the American people have enjoyed a standard of living without parallel in the history of the world, and added: "We stand for an ever higher standard of living for the people of the nation." Asserting the Republican party "today is at a crossroads, just as was in Lincoln's time," Mitchell said: "It can take that fork which leads to the heights: Where with farsighted statesmanship and warm humanity it can lead Amer ica and the world to peace, to more secure and comfortable living, and a closer brotherhood under God. "Or this party of ours can take the other fork and sink into the quagmire of history along with the Federalists and the Whigs and those other parties which once were great but which became the spokesmen of reaction and special group interests. They died because they could not see and understand the world In which they lived." Referring to Lincoln, Mitchell said: "I do not believe that Hie man who said, 'All that serves labor serves the nation would accept the premise that minimum wage legis lation should not be extended, that the rights of trade unions must be curbed, and that income insurance programs such as social security make workers dependent upon the government.
