President Eisenhower is too
busy to think about whether he
will run again for President in
1856. he told his news conference
today.
The President said with a
laugh that sufficient unto the

the critical international Situa-
ton, in trying to make sure the
United States is strong.
The question came up when a

his chief assistant, Sherman
Adams, said in speech here last
week that he believed Gen Eisen-
hover would be inclined to retire
to his Pennsylvania farm at the
end of his first term if the Re-
publican Party should lose con-
troll of Congress this fall.
The President said that he
never had talked about what he
would do in 1856 with anybody
except in the most facetious vein.
Concerned with problems of to-
day, he said, he is not casting
his mind to 1856.

Numerous questions may arise.
For one thing. the Senate group
will explore questions about the

There also will be questions
about restoration of many of
the spending program cuts made
by the House. These amount
to nearly 81 million. The House

this did not change anything

Top District officials are ex-

at the Friday hearings by the
Senate subcommittee. They are
expected to ask for restoration
of at least most of the spending
cuts made by the House.
When testimony by city Off
cials has been concluded, citizen
SpokeSmen will be given their
chance. Indications are, how
ever, their time will be limited
in view Of the record citizen
Spokesmen made in the House.
The District yesterday won a
dramatic victory when the House,
in its roll call vote, overrode it's
own Appropriations Committee
to insist that the Federal pay
ment be raised to $40 million.

had cut out, key members of

was almost won on Monday,
when the bill was considered by
the House, acting as a commit

there, however. was only tenta-

the House proper.

Dr.. Byrd Says He Got
Bonus Of $500
In 1927 Land Deal
Most Of State Payment
Went for Taxes and
Other Costs, He Adds

DR.. H. c. Byrd said today he
received a $500 bonus" from
the State for his part in a land
transaction at the University of
Maryland in 1927 but that "a
large part: of the money went
for mortgage costs, taxes and
commissions.
Political opponents had ac-
cuSed him of making a $25, 900
profit on the deal.
DR.. Byrd said the money was
voted him by the university
Board of Regents "for the work
done by me and for the financial
risks that had assumed in this
connection"
All on Record, He Says.
He said the entire transaction
was a matter of public record
and accused forces of George P.
Mahoney, his opponent for Dem
ocratic nomination for COVER
nor, Of trying ito blacken my
record and character with false
and estimated charges in the
last 10 days of this campaign"
DR.. Byrd's Statment amplify-
ing details of the transaction
was his first mention of the
amount involved for himself. He
had previously stated that he
made no profit on the deal.
Hugo r. Hoffman, campaign
manager for Mr.. Mahoney, had
accused DR.. Byrd of making
more than $25, 900 profit on the
transaction, which involved six
parcels of land. DR.. Byrd said
the land was needed for agri-
cultural purposes by the uni
versity and II enabled them to
use the land as soon as I got it,
Took Risk, He Says.
-"For a number of months the
State was not obligated to buy
the land or any parcel and !
took the risk. I could have been
left with any or every parcel and
owing the mortgages personally, "

He said the land was acquired

rector of athletics and assistant

planned to keep the talks as in
formal and comfortable as pos
Sible.
Like Potomac Bridge.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
Anglo-American situation is like
that of a bridge across the Po-
tomac River. Thousands Of peo-
pie use it daily, he said, and that
isn't news. But if it falls down,
that is news.
Gen. Eisenhower said that he
and Mr.. Churchill will not be
trying to make news, but will
try to keep the bridge between
the United States and Great
Britain strong.
He said he doubted that any
one could think Of an interna-
tional problem that will not be
mentioned in the talks, which
will be attended by Secretary of
State Dulles.
Diplomatic sources, however,
reported that with the GenevA
Conference on Far Eastern affairs
blowing up, the most urgent
problem concerns what the
United States and Great Britain
can or will do in concert to
stop communism in Southeast
Asia. So far Mr.. Dulles cam
paign to get united action
against the Reds has been stalled
by Mr.. Churchill's reluctance to
make any commitments before
the outcome of the Geneva con-
ference on Korea and Indo-
China could be seen.

if it were question of the lat

The 46-year-old University of
California professor voiced these
Evening star., 1954-06-16

opinions after being questioned
cloSelysiby a special Atomic En-
ergy Commission security board
on DR.. Oppenheimer's position
during the debates in the 1940s
over whether an all-out H-bomb
program should be launched.
DR.. Teller, who was credited
by DR.. Oppenheimer himself as
being the principal inventor"
of the H-bomb, upheld DR.. OPP
penheimer's loyalty and then
added:
IF it is a position of wisdom
and judgment. as demonstrated
by actions since 1945. then I
would say one would be wiser
not to grant clearance. I must
say that I am myself a little
bit confused on this issue, par
ticularly as it refers to a person
of Oppenheimer's prestige and
influence.
H-Bomb Possible Earlier.
DR.. Teller also testified that
II DR.. Oppenheimer and other
scientists had lent their moral
support, not even their work,
just moral support the
H-bomb could have been built
about four years earlier.
The first successful test of the
H-bomb was made in the Pa
cific in November, 1852.
But even as DR.. Teller ex-
pressed some reservations about
DR.. Oppenheimer. father Of the
atomic bomb during World War
II. many of the key men who
worked shoulder to shoulder with
him in top secret projects rallied
to DR.. Oppenheimer's defense.
saying he was a man of complete
loyalty. integrity and devotion to
his country.
On the other side of the pic
ture, William L. Borden, former
executive secretary of the SEN
House Atomic Energy Com
mittee. described DR.. Open
heimer as more probably than
not an agent of the Soviet
Union"
All this conflicting testimony
and a backstage account of the
momentous, tortuous develop
ment of the H-bomb-was dis
closed in the release of the trans
cript of hearings before a special
security board of the Atomic En-
ergy Commission.
The board ruled on May 27
that DR.. Oppenheimer was d
loyal American and a discreet
one. But, in a 81 split. it said
the famed, thin physicist with
the crew hearcut was a security
risk-not entitled any more to
access to the atomic information
he helped store up for 10 years.
DR.. Oppenheimer and his at
torneys have appealed to the
full Acc to overturn this find
ing. The commission promised
a decision this month.
40 Witnesses Heard.
The half million words of
testimony from 40 witnesses, as
reviewed by the Associated Press,
ran through the gamut of charges
that DR.. Oppenheimer had been
a contributor and fellow traveller
with Communist causes until
1912, that he lied to Army intel
ligence officers investigating
Russian atomic espionage in
1912, and that he opposed an
all-out effort to develop the
H-bomb as late as 1949.
All this was freely conceded
by DR.. Oppenheimer. who said
he had made mistakes in the
past and had once been an
idiot" but carefully guarded
the host of secrets "I have had
-. in my head a long time"
And a virtual roll call of for
mer Acc commissioners and
top atomic scientists backed up
former Acc Chairman Gordon
Dean. who described DR.. Open
heimer as one of the few men
who can completely demonstrate
his loyalty to his country "by
his performance a man of
complete integrity a very
devoted man to his country"
Aside from DR.. Oppenheimer
and his wife, there were 38 wit
