inaugural address.
The House and Senate leaders
who met with the President to-
day in the first of what are
planned to be weekly sessions.
said the President gave them q
rundown on the items he will
cover. but they were reluctant
to discuss details. AS Senate ma
jority leader Taft and House
Speaker Martin explained it is
the Presidents message and the
publication Of its contents is
up to him.
Basically the message is de-
signed to blueprint the admins
tration's aims in the light of the
Republican platform. It can be
expected to deal with both for
eign and domestic matters.
every Harmonious" Session.
Senator Taft said that this
mornings meeting was very
harmonious"
While President Eisenhower
has been at work on the message
since before the inaugural, Sena-
tor Taft said the message has
not yet been written in its en-
tirely but just outlined.
The Ohio Senator, a co-author
of the Taft Hartley Labor Act.
told reporters at the White House
that he planned to introduce
three or four amendments to
that legislation today.
Senator Taft also said that to-
days meeting-which started at
$3.50 this MORNINGS the fore-
runner Of weekly sessions.
Follows Truman's System.
This is in line with the pro-
gram followed by President Tru-
man.
The Capitol Hill delegation
was with the President two
hours and while they were silent
as to the turn their conversa-
ton took, it was assumed that
among other things they dis
cussed labor, controls, taxes and
expenditures among other items.
The presence in the confer
ence Of Senator Saltonstall. the
Senate whip, who also is chair
man of the Senate Armed Serv.
ices Committee, opened the pos
sibility that military expendi-
lures likewise came in for con-
Sideration.
Millikin Attends Session.
Senator Millikin of Colorado.
chairman of the Republican
Conference and of the Senate
Banking Committee which han
dies economic controls legisla-
ton, also took part in the
meeting.
The price control law expires
April 80 and rent curbs end
June 80. The administration
faces a sharp difference of
opinion on Capitol Hill as to
what should be done about
these. There is strong sentiment
among the Republicans for
abandoning controls.
In all there were IL particle
pants, including the President,
in his first meeting.
Others included Vice President
Nixon. Senator Bridges of New
Hampshire, president pro tenn Of
the Senate; Senator Knowland
Of California, chairman Of the
Policy Committee; House Ma
jority Leader Halleck. Repre-
sentative Arends Of Illinois,
House whip and two White
House staff officials: Sherman

In the meantime, White House
Press Secretary Hagerty told re-
porters that he expected to an
nounce tomorrow when President
Eisenhower will hold his first

It's possible that 1t may be set

tight against the Wilson ap-
pointment, but the Senate is ex-
pected to confirm him by a sub
stantial vote.
Majority Leader Taft will try
to complete the debate today,
but there was no certainty this
would be possible.
Senator Saltonstall told his
colleagues that Mr.. Wilson had
cleared away possible conflict of
interests by agreeing to dispose
Of his stock in General Motors
worth about $2.5 million.
Future Stock Issue Settled.
Mr.. Wilson also was entitled
to receive about 1,700 shares of
additional stock during the next
four years as a bonus for past
services to General Motors.
Senator Saltonstall revealed,
however, that General Motors
has agreed to make a cash settle
ment in lieu of that stock now,
so that Mr.. Wilson would not be
receiving any stock after he
takes Office.
Senator Hendrickson, Repub-
lican. Of New Jersey, announced
he would vote for Mr.. Wilson,
but is not binding himself On
other nominations (which may
fall into a similar category and
which are not met with in the
same fortnight and courageous
manner"
The New Jersey Republican
called it "regrettable that this
problem ever had to come before
the Senate in its present light.
Senator Hendrickson said
some one in the new administra-
ton should have foreseen the
"ramifications." He said Mr..
Wilson has agreed to meet both
the spirit and the letter Of the
law, even though it came with
some labor pains"
Wilson Gets Reminder.
While approving the appoint
ment, Senator Hendrickson also
said he wanted to remind Mr..
Wilson that 'he cannot admin
lister a vital department of our
Government precisely as one
can run a corporate enterprise
as great as it might be in his
own eyes"
Meanwhile, members of the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee appeared ready to turn
down two of the four men being
considered as aides to Mr.. Will
son unless they. too, sell stocks
they own In companies doing
defense work.
The two are Robert F. B.
Stevens, to be Secretary of the
Army, and Harold e. Talbot,
to be Secretary o fthe Air Force.
Easy Approval of Two Seen.
The other two are expected
to be approved when their nom
nations are presented by Presi-
dent Eisenhower. They are Roger
M. Kyes. who is giving up the
vice presidency OF General Mo-
tors to be Deputy Defense Sec
retary, and Robert B. Anderson,
to be Secretary Of the Navy.
Mr.. Kyes Joined Mr.. Wilson in
offering to sell his General
Motors stock. Mr.. Anderson
testified he has no holdings in
any concern dealing directly
with the Government.
The nomination Of Harold E.
StaSsen to head the Mutual Sc
curity Administration also is
ready for Senate action, but Ma
jority Leader Taft wants to get
a vote first on the Wilson case.
