The days of the free-wheeling
Communist hunts that char
acterized the operations of the
Senate Permanent Investigations
subcommittee under the chair
imanship Of Senator Mccarthy
appeared last night to be over.
A subcommittee aide said that,
barring some unforeseen develop
ment, ''this is 1t for 1854" so far
as further hearings are con-
cerned. The unforeseen de-
velopment" would be the url-
expected return of Senator Nc
Carthy from an undisclosed rest
spot to resume the Communist

was ended abruptly Wednesday,
the day after he left the city.

Senator Mcclellan said the
investigative group would give
its attention to things other

Soviet Rejects Plane Protests,

mander in Japan, on January 20,
1916.
The latest Russian reply was
in answer to two American notes
Of November z and November II
protesting the incident.
The Incident took place near
the northeast tip of the Japan
ese island of Hokaido and IL
American crewmen bailed out.
One was found dead and the
other 10 suffered minor injuries.
In it's notes the United States
called on the Russians to pre-
vent such incidents in the future
and warned that the United
States would be forced to protect
its planes on legitimate missions
unless the Russians took steps to
prevent a repetition.
Warn on Escorts.
The Soviet reply today warned:
1.-THE adoption of measures to
prevent future violations by
American aircraft of Soviet state
territory would make 1t possible
to avoid similar Incidents and
casualties connected with them.
However, one cannot but note
that the statement of the United
States Government that in the
future it will ensure the neces-
sary defenses of United States
aircraft does not contribute to-
ward this.
"Such actions of the American
military command could merely
increase the repetition Of similar
incidents, not to mention that
these actions would be contrary
to the interests of easing inter-
national tension"

President 10 Meet
Capitol Hill Leaders
On Legislative Plans
9. o. P. Conference Set
Tomorrow; Bipartisan
Purley on Tuesday
n. H~hA n A~~
By Gornett D. Horner

President Eisenhower will give
Senate and House leaders this
week a preliminary outline of
what he wants from the 84th
Congress convening January 5.
He plans to ask for action on
all the. parts of his legislative
program submitted last January
which failed to get through the
83d Congress-topped by liber-
alization of foreign trade policies
in addition to a few new meas
ures.
Plans Bipartisan Talks.
His conferences tomorrow with
Republican congressional leaders
and Tuesday with a bipartisan
group of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are preliminary to the writ
ing of his State of the Union
message in which he will for
mally submit the administration
program a day or two after the
new Congress convenes.
The President wants to talk
over his proposals with the Sen
ate and House leaders and get
the benefit of their ideas before
actually starting to write his
opening message to the new
Congress which win be controlled
by Democrats.
He plans full advance bipartisan
consultation with Democrats as
we'll as Republican leaders on
foreign affairs and national de-
fense, in the conviction that do
mestic politics should stop at the
waters edge.
Separate Conferences Set.
But, as of now, at least, he
does not plan advance consulta-
tion with the Democrats on the
purely domestic problems. This
Is why separate conferences are
set for tomorrow and Tuesday.
Only the top Republican lead
ers of the Senate and House are
invited to tomorrow's meeting
Gen. Eisenhower plans to discuss
with them domestic issues, rang
ing from a gigantic new highway
building program to health in
surance, which he win lay before
the new Congress. He also prob
ably will seek advice on exactly
how to deal with the Democratic
leaders.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Dec.
11.-A triumphant Navy today
launched the largest American
ship ever built-the 60,000-ton
aircraft carrier Forrestal-and
Secretary Thomas declared its
mobility would make it "a phan-
tom target for any enemy"
Mrs. James Forrestal, widow
of the first Secretary of Defense
for whom the giant warship is
named, broke a bottle of cham
pagne over its sleek bow. AS

yards sounded. the vessel began
a slow movement in the dock
where it had been waterborne
for seven hours.
The mighty man-of-war.
whose fight deck is five city
blocks long and a block wide,
was christened with all the
pomp and ceremony befitting a
new capital ship in the jet
atomic age.
Planes Spell Out Tribute.
Precision flying jet planes
swept overhead and propeller
driven Skyraiders some OF
which also will be aboard the
Forrestal-spelled out an "F" in
tribute.
The ceremony was marred by
tragedy, as one Of the 600-mile-
an-hour FIJI Cutlass jet fight
ers fell into the James River
not far from the launching
scene. It exploded and killed
the pilot. 1t. (j.g) John Hood Of

The 50-minute launchin g
ceremony was witnessed by an
impressive audience led by Sec
retary of Defense Wilson and
including Congress members,
Government officials, scores OF
admirals and other military
leaders, and shipyard executives
and workers.
Secretary of the Navy Thomas,
referring to the Forrestals speed
of some 40 miles an hour and Its
numerous other innovations
said:
To-day you are witnessing
not merely the launching of q
ship. but the launching Of oul
country's most versatile and

ple," Senator Knowland said.
Let 1856 take care of ITSELF"
The question which Senator
Knowland would not answer di-
rectly was put to him by a re-
porter at press conference. It
was based on a recent statement
by Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the Republican Con-
ference of the Senate, there Is
an irresistible demand among
Republicans that President Eli
senhower become a candidate for
reelection in 1856" Senator Mil
likin added: II don't think the
President can be beaten if he
runs"

Another reporter asked Sena-
tor Knowland If he believed
there was q general feeling that
President Eisenhower sis needed"
to head the Republican ticket.
1--WE will cross the 1855 bridge,
Senator Knowland responded,
before we get to 1856"
The Senate leader predicted
that:
l. There will be unity among
the Republicans in Congress in
the 84th Congress.
2. A major part Of the Presi-
dents program will be enacted
He threw cold water on any
suggestion for a third political
party spearheaded by Republic
cans who have disagreed with
the Eisenhower administration
and policies.
Differences Exaggerated"
1.-THE differences" Senate,
Knowland said. "have been ex-
aggerated. They are not as great
as some have tried to make out
Further, most Of these Republic
cans who have differed with the
administration on some points
are life -long Republicans. They
have served as governors Of their
States, or as members of the
House or the Senate. They have
operated in the Republican Par
ty. I think they will continue tc
do so.
I'VE ought to devote OUR at
tention to getting people into the
Republican Party. rather than tc
getting them out Of the party.
There is no danger of a third
party in 1856. in my opinion
History has shown that thirc
political parties have had nc
success in the United States"
Senator Knowland said he ex-
pected to support the Eisen-
hover program when 1t is laie

He reiterated that the mair

FRASER, Colo. Sept. g.
Turn that fellow over" says
Dwight D. Eisenhower to Herbert
Hoover.
And thus the 34th President
Of the United. States gives the
31st President q lesson in char
coal broiling sirloin steaks as q
group Of newspaper reporters
and photographers jostle around
in a close semi-circle taking
notes and swapping pictures.
That was the scene under
shading pine trees in front OF q
log cabin on the Byers Peak
ranch high on the western slope
of the Rocky Mountains near
here yesterday as the two "Mr.
Presidents" cooked lunch for
their fishing party.
It reminded Mr.. Hoover -
whose ouble-breasted gray suit,
gray shirt and tie contrasted
sharply with the brown suede
jacket and tieless tan sport shirt
worn by Gen. Eisenhower - of
something besides presidential
fashions that has changed since
the days he occupied the White
House in 1882 and went trout
fishing on the Rapidan river in
Virginia. %
Calls 1t Degeneration"
He called 1t "dengeneration"

President. .,I,s,sC,,a. >.-i,.el-
Something has happened in
the last 30 years." Mr.. Hoover
told the newsmen with smile
but with q hidden barb in his
words.
II used to believe that there
were only two occasions in which
the American people had regard
for the privacy of the President
that was in prayer and fish
ing.
II now detect that you have
lost the second part Of that.
1.-THE press no longer has any
respect for the privacy Of the
President when he is fishing.
THAT Is one Of the degenera-
tions of the last 80 years."
Gen. Eisenhower laughed at
Mr.. Hoover's remarks, looking
as If he would like to applaud.
Song by Reporters.
Both he and Mr.. Hoover got

to them by a quartet Of report

How TO BroH d Steak Outdoors

like this, to the tune Of John
Browns Body:
What did General Eisenhower
have to eat today?
Was it trout or was 1t meat
or was 1t curds and
whey?
What did Mr.. President give
to his honored hosts?
Buns or tacks or toast?
He's always cooking up fish
chowder.
The recipe by Eisenhower.
Silence fills the cooking hour.
And no news from Hagerty."
The President remarked that

yours minds what we are going
to eat this noon."
Social Security Bill Signed.
Newsmen were admitted
through ten heavily guarded
gates of the ranch, where Gen.
Eisenhower and Mr.. Hoover
came Tuesday to fish for noun
tain trout, to watch the Presi-
dent sign the social security ex-
pansion bill yesterday.
Sitting at q sawbuck redwood
table and bench combination
under the pine trees, the Presi-
dent signed his name to make
the legislation effective and then,
with q resigned air, asked Mr..
Hagerty what else do you want
me to do?" ss>
Mr.. Hagerty whispered in Gen.
Eisenhower'S ear. Then the
President walked over to q cir
cular charcoal grill, set up on
wheels just outside the door of
the kitchen-dining room log
cabin. The Goals already were
at white heat. ~troe 81
The President called for John
Moaney, his colored valet. to
zring out the steaks. He directed
the laying of them over the grill.
In a moment he picked up a
long-handled fork and started
turning them, one by one.
Hoover Picks Up Fork.
Mr.. Hoover walked from be-
hind the cabin and, at the urg-
ing of photographers. picked up
another fork to help. Gen Eisen-
hover told him which to turn.
Those are going to be good
steaks" the President remarked.
Have you had any complaints
about your cooking" asked a
reporter.
mot so far" the President re-
piled. There's always an easy
way Aout If they complain"
He Promised his comrades
vegetable soup for last night, and
for lunch today, a rich soup he
had been brewing since his ar
rival at midday Tuesday.
Asked about his fishing luck,
Gen. Eisenhower said he had
fished only yesterday morning
and ut was all right"
He turne dto Mr.. Hoover and
said, IT heard you got the big
gest fish we've got yet"
Mr.. Hoover smiled with pride.
Reporters wanted to know how
big it was. Mr.. Hoover said he
hadn't weighed it. He baked at
demonstrating its length with
his hands.
Gen. Eisenhower volunteered
that "he was long enough to be
the champion so far"
Likes Steak Rare.

steaks warmed the air. the

"If that isn't done enough
you can just bring it out and

Senator Gore Blasts
6. 0. P. Record, Hits
Eisenhower Claims

EISENHOWER IldImS
Senator Gore. Democrat Of
Tennessee. called last night for
the election Of q Democratic
Congress, saying that under the
Republican administration I'VE
are drifting-ju drifting-both
ut home and abroad"
"Since We win have o Repub-
hcan administration for two
more years." the Senator said.
"the public interest requires the
safeguard Of . Democratic Con-
greSs."
Senator Cores half hour ra-
dio speech was on time granted
the Democratic National Com
niittee by the Mutual Broad
casting System. His ONCE said
that In q sense 1t was o reply to
the review OF Congress broad
cast by President Eisenhower
August %.
Questions '.Average."
The Senator questioned Gen.
Eisenhower's comment that the
administration had q batting
average" Of $50 in Congress.
"For one thing, he failed to
account for all his times at
bat" Senator George said.
HE used only "a as the num-
Der Of times the administration
came to bat, while the records
.show ala presidential requests to
the Congress. Surely this would
affect the batting average.
For another thing, he listed
several foul balls as clean
hits"
Trade Bills Cited.
Under the foul ball category,
Senator Gore put the Reciprocal
Trade program. He said the
Democrats voted for the three
year extension and broadening
of tariff-cutting powers the
President asked. but were OUT
voted by Republicans who got
through "a simple, meaningless,
one-year extension"
"Yet this was listed as one Of
the hits Of the SD Congress-"
Senator Gore attacked the adj
ministration record In the fields
Of taxes, atomic energy, power.
farm, employment, defense and
foreign relations.
He said:
"The Republicans came to
power promising a bold, dynamic
program. Yet where boldness
and action have been required,
we have had weakness, timidity
and vacillation; where unity and
clarity were indicated, the pat
tern has been one Of discord
and confusion"
Corporations Benefit.
On taxes, Senator Gore said:
For the next year the tax-cut
dollar will be. divided UP this
way: Corporations will get 73
cents of the tax-reduction dol
lar; persons earning more than
$4,000 a year will get IS cents.
This leaves only 9 cents Of the
Republican tax-cut dollar for
the American families who have
earnings of less than $4,000 a
year. Eighty per cent of all
American families are in this
latter group"
On atomic energy: 1.-THE ate
tempts of the Republicans to
give patent and power monop-
olieS on peacetime uses of atomic
energy to a few privileged corpo-
rations should shock every fair
minded American" ,...sss
Power: Neither the country's
natural resources. nor it's tradi-
tlonal public power policies can
be safely entrusted to the COM
bination Of a Republican Con-
gress and a Republican admin
istration." 4
Farm: "The 83d Congress has
hurt-not helped-the American
farmer broke, rather than
kept. campaign promises to the
farmer . !. brought uncertainty,
rather than stability to the
American farmer"
On other matters, Senator
Gore said both production and
income are down from 1853 and
distress areas have appeared in
every part of the country"
