time getting away from the
airport for the 12-mile ride to
the golf club. where he is quar-
tered, as usual, in the cottage
of an old friend, Bobby Jones,
golfing immortal.
Talk Of Building Cottage.
There has been some talk of
building cottage on the course
for Gen. Eisenhower. who has
been coming down here since
he was Army Chief of Staff. but
rising costs have thrown some
doubt on the project. according
to Mr.. Roberts.
While the President and Mrs.
Eisenhower headed for the golf
club, with a police escort, the
press party which had flown
down ahead of him moved into
hotel in the outskirts of Au-
gusta. where a communication
center has been established. Be-
fore landing. the press plane
circled over the golf club so news
reel cameramen could get shots
of the course and the temporary
White House.
The President brought along
a small staff-PreSs Secretary
James C. Hagerty. Appointment
Secretary Thomas E. Stephens,
his own secretary. Mrs. Ann
Whitman, and Miss Mary Caf-
frey, secretary to Mr.. Hagerty.
Arriving at the club, the Presi-
dent took a quick look at the
sun and decided he could get
in little practice before dark
ness caught him. He was on the
course an hour or so before
finally calling it a day.

Denham Urges Firing
Of All in NLRB for
Complete New Slate

A former chief enforcement
officer for the aft-Hartley law
recommended today that all en-
ployes Of the National Labor Re-
lationS Board be fired.
Robert N. Denham, former
NLRB general counsel, said Con-
gress should abolish the agency
and then revive it to let Presi-
dent Eisenhower name new peo-
pie to all NLRB jobs.
Mr.. Denham testified before
the House Labor Committee.
abolish the agency. and all
the jobs in it." Mr.. Denham rec
commended. Enact a new bill
patterned after the old. but with
! its holes filled up and give the
President a break by letting him
appoint a new, competent and
experineced board and general
counsel.
Let them select the kind of
staff they want and need-and
you'll have cured a lot of trou-
ble."
Fired by Truman.
Mr.. Denham was fired by Pres
ident Truman in 1850 after he
had engaged in three-year
running controversy with the
f1ve-member NLRB over admin
'istration of the Taft-Hartley
/ Act.
He has been bitterly critical
Of the board ever since.
Representative Howell. Demo-
crat. of New Jersey asked Mr..
Denham if his suggestion for fir
ing every one in the NLRB was
based on a feeling that the board
members were "too pro-labor or
not too competent"
"A little of both,' Mr.. Denham
replied, "The board should have
on it experienced, mature law
yers, not just attorneys at law.
There is only one man on the
board now who ever made the
slightest pretense of practicing
law"
Accused of Prejudice.
Representative Bailey, Dem
ocrat, of West Virginia, accused
Mr.. Denham of being prejudiced.
II am forced to the conclu-
sion, after listening to you, that
you are prejudiced, not only for
the Taft-Hartley Act, but against
the members of the NLRB and
its present general counsel" Mr..
Bailey told Mr.. Denham.
Mr.. Denham told the commit
tee there is only one major ad-
dition he would, make to Taft
Hartley. He said it should be
unlawful for a union to picket
the properties of company
when it was trying to organize
the workers of the company.
He opposed some changes Sug-
gested by President Eisenhower,
including one which would re-
quire employers as well as union
officials to sign affidavits dis
aVoWing communism.

Nixon Contributions
Tota|ed S25,O56,
Californian Reports

A December report to the clerk
Of the House by, Dana c. Smith,
Pasadena (Calif.) lawyer, show
ing he handled SIS, ,O56.63 in po-
litical contributions during Vice
President Nixon'S campaign last
year. came to light yesterday.
Mr.. Smith also was trustee for
the $18,235 controversial Nixon
senatorial expense fund which
aroused a campaign furor. Mr..
Nixon contended there was moth
ing improper about that fund
and Gen. Eisenhower upheld him.
The House clerks office said
Mr.. Smiths report on the vice
presidential campaign contribu-
tions was not made public when
it was filed December 20 because
no one asked for it by name.
In letter accompanying the
report, Mr.. Smith said he did
not believe he was required by
law to file such an accounting,
but that he wanted to cooper
ate fully with the efforts of Con-
gress to learn what receipts and
expenditures have taken place. "
The report showed most of the
contributions ranged under $500.
It listed one $1,000 contribution
from William j.. Murphy of New
York and one for $1,000 from
William c. Bullitt of Conway,
Mass.
MIR Smith reported he made a
few minor expenditures from the
$25, ,056.63 he collected and turned
the balance over to regular Re-
publican financing groups. His
statement listed $8,593.24 as 60
ing to the United Republican
Finance Committee in Los An
geles on October II, and So
1892 to the Republican National
Committee here on November IL.
National Committee officials said
receipts were sent to the indi-
vidual donors by the committee.
Vice President Nixon was not
available for comment immedi-
ately His executive assistant,
Robert Ladd. said. "All questions
regarding campaign funds were
asked and answered during the
campaign"

Stevenson Asks Party
To Avoid Expression
'Eisenhower's War
BY the AsSoeiofod Press

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27.-
Adlai E Stevenson admonished
some 1900 Democratic austerity
diners last night, Let us never
SOW division when it is so i'm
portant to harvest unity"
They applauded this plea and
his statements that while we
may be a defeated party. we are
not a beaten party" and
II for one hope and pray
that we shall be spared the
spectacle Of Democratic orators
taking q leaf from recent his
tory and mouthing nonsense
about 'Eisenhower's War Ra-
ther we stay out of Office forever
than win it back that way.'
This was an apparent refer
ence to Republican cries of "Tru-
mans War" in the last cam
paign.
Adherents of the defeated
Democratic presidential candi-
date filled the Biltmore Hotel
bowl for a Western States Aus
terity Dinner" The $1OO-a-plate
menu included split pea soup,
corned beef and cabbage. boiled
new potatoes, apple pie with
cheese and coffee.
QuipS on HOmburgs.
Diners applauded the half
hour speech 10 times and
laughed at quips like his refer
ence to Washington, D. c., nov
known in the East as 'Homburg
Heaven Some other passages
they applauded:
Upon the new President have
been laid great burdens in a time
Of peril for us all. AS he labors
under their crushing weight, he
will have our good will, our good
wishes, and our prayers.
And in the resolution he has
just proposed, the President has
repudiated the Republican cam
paign mythology about dark and
sinister agreements at Yalta,
Teheran and PotSdam."
The proposed Eisenhower reso-
luton would denounce Russia for
violating World War II agree
ments with the United States by
enSlaving free peoples. The reso-
luton is seeming change of po-
sition from that proclaimed by
the President in his February 2
State of the Union message.
Hits Conspiracy PretenSiOn.
THE proposed resolution re-
lates to the breach of those
agreements by the Soviet govern
ment, shameless violations which
have long been denounced by
everybody, Democrats and Re
publicans alike" Mr.. Stevenson
said. Let us, I say, no longer
make cynical political capital by
pretending that our country ever
conspired in the tragedy that has
befallen great nations.
Tempting as it is, shall not
dwell on the unworthy and mis-
leading words that have been ut
tered of late about the 7th Fleet,
words implying that President
Truman'S purpose was to protect
Red China and not Formosa.
Applause and laughter mingled
when he said:
''I had been under the very
distinct impression, few months
back, that the Republicans had
made off with the Democratic
farm plank. I guess I was wrong.
They just borrowed it tempo
rarily and returned it immedi-
ately after the election"
