manipulations.

Huston is reported as having
replied thus to each of the groups
and individuals who have waited
on him in the past few days.
President Is Hesitant
The President, however, seem

far. EmiSSary after emissary has
gone to see the chairman, each
one of whom obviously was speak,
ing for the White House, but the
President has hesitated thus far
to say the word personally.
Despite the adamant stand of
the TennesSean, there was reason

of practical politics. Houston, as
we'll as the rest of the party
leaders, realizes that if he re,

This fact alone is leading
