said that New Hampshire Repub-

Four Topics Discussed.
He said Gen. Eisenhower had
discussed four main topics with
the New Hampshire delegates
The first was military expendi-
lures and the ability of the peo-
pie tc support these expenditures,
plus economy in military expend-
itures. The second was civil
rights, the third, the responsible
ity of Federal Government in
seeking to get labor and manage
ment together in industrial dis
putes and the fourth. the respon-
sibility of Federal Government in
education. He said Gen. Eisen-
hover took the same position on
these issues as he had in his
speech and press conference at
Abilene. Kans., last week.
Today's meeting followed q
three-and-o hour confer
ence yesterday between Gov. John
S. Fine of Pennsylvania and Gen.
Eisenhower.
Gov. Fine, regarded as one of
the key men in the decision which
the convention will make between
Gen. Eisenhower and Senator Taft
for the nomination, came away
from the talks declaring his pres
ent neutrality.
The Pennsylvania Governor, a
practical politician, understands
very we'll that the Keystone States
big delegation-70 all told-could
settle a close race. His purpose
has been to take the delegation to
the national convention unin-
structed-as it will go now-and
hold it together for the big play
at the right moment. He did not,
on his visit to New York. publicly
indicate he had changed in this
desire.
Glad to Renew Contact.
Gov. Fine did say, however. that
he was glad to renew a personal
contact with Gen. Eisenhower
which was begun in 1850. He also
expressed a profound admiration
for Gen. Eisenhower. He did not
halt there. He expressed the
same kind of admiration for Gen.
Macarthur, and went On to
say that Senator Taft of Ohio
is a great Senator" and Earl
Warren of California good Gov
ernor."
No decision was made at his
conference with Gen. Eisenhower,
Gov. Fine said, except that he
would lead the Pennsylvania dele
cation to Gen. Eisenhower's farm
at Gettysburg. Pa. next Friday
for picnic luncheon and to meet
Gen. Eisenhower. The general
will be the host and pick up the
check for the luncheon.
Gov. Fine said that the party
would include 70 alternate dele
gates. making a total of 140 to be
invited to the luncheon. All will
have an opportunity to meet and
size up the general.
To show he is not playing ia
vorites at this time, Gov. Fine
said that he expected to have al
with Senator Taft to-
determine when the Senator would
receive the Pennsylvania delega-
ton. He said that the Senator
has asked to meet with the dele
gates at some time during the
next two weeks.
Full Schedule Today.
Gen. Eisenhower had a full
schedule for today. After his con-
ference with the New Hampshire
delegates this morning. he planned
to receive the Connecticut dele
gates at 2 pm, the Delaware
delegates at 3 pm. and the Massa-
chusetts delegates at 4 pm.
