The President also told his news
conference his forthcoming confer,
ence here with Prime Minister
Churchill was suggested BY
Churchill to combat what Essen.
hover termed the theory that there
is great rift between the United
States and Britain.
Eisenhower said the main DUR.
pose Of the conference, to be held
at the White House the weekend
starting June Is, is to make the
alliance between the two nations
as strong as possible.
The Presidents remarks regard.
ing 1856 were touched off by q
newsman's reminder that Eisen.
hower's chief aide, Sherman
Adams, suggested last week that
Eisenhower might not run for the
presidency if the Republicans were
to lose control of Congress in the
elections this fall.
Eisenhower was asked whether
such a political development In
November might have this effec,
on his plans.
He paused for 4 moment then
laughed. Then Eisenhower went on
to say that to his best knowledge
the matter Of what he win do in
1855 never yet has been discussed
with him, except perhaps In a face
tiouS manner.
The President said he was not
going to make any prediction on
that matter. He added, to 4 round
of laughter, that what happens
then is sufficient unto the day and
the evils thereof.
He mentioned the great world
problems confronting the United
States and said those are occupy.
ing his main attention at this time.
He said that not by any matter Of
means was he casting his mind
forward to 1856 at this time.
A reporter then noted that
Adams, in his remarks last week,
had mentioned the possible loss Of
Congress to the Democrats as only
one of three factors which might
cause Eisenhower not TO seek q
second term.
Adams declined 10 disclose the
other two and the President was
asked whether he knows what they
are.
Laughing, Eisenhower said Ad-
ans had mentioned to him Just
before the news conference that he
might be asked about those other
two conditions. The President
quoted Adams as saying he hadn't
even told Eisenhower about them,
but he would do 20 some other
time.
The news conference questions
dealt with several matters, among
them:
Farm legislation-The President
again declined 10 say whether he
would veto any bill 10 continue
government price supports ut q
fixed 80 per cent Of parity, instead
of providing for a shift to the hex.
ible price support plan advocated
by the administration.
In response to 4 question, Eissn-
hover said again he never had
advocated during the 1852 cam
paign government price supports
at 100 per cent Of parity. He said
he was talking Of 100 per cent of
parity in the market place, and
stressed that he feels there 10 q
big difference.
Korea-When Undersecretary Of
State Walter Bedeli Smith returns
from the Geneva conference, the
President plans to invite rep
of both parties In
Congress to the White House 20
hear a report on those sessions.
Eisenhower said the next step
in the Korean situation is for the
16 anti Communist Allies who
fought there to report to the United
Nations. He said the United Ma.
tons would then have to take some
action-what kind, he did not
know.
Red trade-Eisenhower declared
he is not so sure just what the
results would be II the United
States and other free nations were
to cut off all trade with Russia and
the satellite countries.
The President was told that Rep.
Dies (D-Tex) had suggested that
the best way to halt the spread Of
communism would be 10 cut OF
shipment Of al goods, including
non-strategic m atsrials now
shipped to the Soviet Union.
Eisenhower replied that Il was
very difficult to know Just what
would occur If all trade with Iron
Curtain countries were ended. He
said if such a thing happened the
inevitable effect would be to build
up ties between the satellites and
Moscow.
What we are striving for, he said,
is the kind of centrifugal force
which would have the effect of
driving the satellites away from
dependence upon Russia.
