has promised pay boosts to
government workers but has
given no indication of his stand
on union demands from private
industry.
Another issue Of the moment
netting the government Is the
scandal surrounding the death
of Wilma MonteSi, in which the
son of Foreign Minister Attilio
Piccioni has been mentioned.
The Communists accuse the gov
ernment of trying to cover up
the case to protect people in
high places.
Mr.. Scelba promised yesterday
in parliament to push an inquiry
into the whole affair. A Roman
editor is on trial on charges Of
spreading false and alarmist

the obscure party girl-found
beside the sea near Rome-to

Transcript Of Eisenhower's
Comment on Flanders Talk

get up and answer, or is it q
party thing?
@. edward r. Pollard,
Washington Post)-A Good
point.
The President-There must
be some limit to this sort of
thing, and ! believe as long as
! they give to responsible, ac-
knowledged heads Of the or
ganizational party-that is,
the organization part of the
party, the chairman. the right
to determine this. this is
justice.
@. (Roscoe Drummond, New
York Herald Tribune) Mr..
President. will you tell us
whether you find yourself in
substantial sympathy with it,
or what your reaction is to 1t,
II that is not correct, to Sena-
tor Flanders talk yesterday
in the Senate?
The President-Well, I was
perfectly certain I wasn't
going to get through this
morning without getting that
question.
Iaughter).
Now. certainly, I can agree
with this part. The Republi-
can Party Is now the party of
responsibility, so charged by
the people of the United
States in the elective process.
And when Senator Flanders
points up the danger of us
engaging in internecine war
fare, and magnifying certain
items Of procedure and right
and personal aggrandizement,
and all such questions. to the
point that we are endan-
gering the program Of action,
that all the leadership Is
agreed upon. and we are try
ing to put across. then he is
doing a service when he calls
the great danger to that kind
of thing that is happening.
Now, am not going to be
in a position Of indorsing
every word he said or how he
said 1t. I don't know.
All I saw of it was a little
bit Of thing on television last
evening, and so ! know YOU
won't ask me just to say
underwrite it. But I do say
that calling attention to the
grave error in splitting apart
when you are in positions of
responsibility and going in
three or four different direc-
tionS at once is just serious.
That is all.

FOLLOWING Is a partial tran
script OF that part OF President
EisenhoUer's neiDs conference
yesterday iDltich the White
House approved for direct quo
tation. 1t relates to Senator
Flanders criticism OF Senator
Mccarthy, and the rGdio-TV
networks decision to deny
Senator Mccarthy free tiDae to
GnsiUer AdlGi Steuenson,s at
tack on the Republican Party:
@. (Merriman Smith, United
Press)-Mr. President. do you
feel that there is q need for
any additional Republican re-
ply on a Nationwide basis to
Adlai Stevenson other than
Vice President Nixon's speech
Saturday?
The President-Well I don't
sense any particular need my
self. / think all you people
know how greatly ! admire the
Vice President. how much !
trust him. I have confidence
that he will place the facts as
he understands them, and as
all of us in a position of re-
sponsibility in the Republican
Party. understand them. be-
fore the people, and that will
be that.
@. Richard L. wilson,
Cowles publications. - Mr..
President. last Saturday night
the proposition was put for
ward that the Republican
Party is half Eisenhower and
half Mccarthy. Would you
care to comment on that?
Laughter.)
The Presidential the risk
of appearing egotistical-and
you can so interpret it If you
choose say nonsense.
@. Edward T. Folliard,
Washington Postum. Presi-
dent. this is related to Merri-
man Smiths question.
Do you think that the big
networks have been fair in
giving time to the Republican
National Committee to answer
Gov. Stevenson rather than to
Senator Mccarthy? Nc
Carthy feels that the networks
have been unfair.
The PRESIDENT am not GO
ing to make the decisions
that. of course, the Federal
Communications Commission
makes. and that the networks
make on their own RESPONSE
bility. Personally. I think that
the networks have certainly
discharged their responsibility
for being impartial when they
give to the Republican Ma
tional Committee the right to
answer as they see fit.
You know. if you would take
and in any speech--suppose
any one of you would make
a speech, whatever party you
belong to, and mention 20
names on the other side; now,
does the network have to give
20 different people the right to

Italy SceIba Wins
Vote Of Confidence
To Push Edo Pact
eY she As,er.o,ed Pfa.s

ROME, Mar. H. Premier
Mario Scelba's month-old gov
ernment had Parliament ap-
proyal today to push for a
knock-down fight on ratification
Of the European Defense Com
munity treaty.
The tough anti Communist
Premier won a final parlia-
mentary vote Of confidence last
night. In a stormy session. the
590-member Chamber of Dep
uties approved his program of
mild social reform at home and
continued ties with the West by
q 17-vote margin.
Mr.. Scelba pledged to rally his
hackers quickly for approval of
the EDO pact which would bring
West German troops into a one
uniform army with italy. France.
Belgium. the Netherlands and
Luxembourg.
But 1t probably will be several
weeks before he can clear the
way through the maze of COM
plicated domestic issues con-
fronting his wobbly four-party
coalition government to get final
action on EDO.
Faces Tough Hurdle.
With the thin majority the So
year-old Christian Democrat pre-
mier commands, it will not be
easy to push through his do
mestic program. And the fight
over EDO may be the toughest
hurdle of all.
Plagued by the Communists
and fellow w-traveling Socialists on
the left and the Monarchists
and Neo-Fascists of the right,
Mr.. Scelba managed to win a
vote Of confidence in his policies
last night by a vote of 800 to
283. The 334-member Senate
gave him a bare f1ve-vote margin
Of approval on February 26.
Confirmation by the deputies
last night brought at least a
temporary halt to the Govern
ment crisis which has plagued
Italy ever since the June z elec-
tions cut the props from under
the pro-WeStern, center-of-the-
road regime Of Mr.. Scelba's long
time mentor, Christian Democrat
leader Alcide de Gasperi.
Session Is Stormy.
The week-long debate preced-
ing confirmation of the Scelba
government was punctuated by
continual hootS and heckling
from the extreme left and right
benches. At one time last night,
before the final vote, ushers had
to form barrier between Com
munist and Fascist deputies
charging from their seats.
The most pressing problem
confronting Mr.. Scelba at home
is that of wages. Communist
led unions have led a series of
one-day strikes throughout the

aotr said he interpreted the Pres
ident's words as indicating con-
Germ that his legislative program
might be lost sight Of in wran-
Cling over Mccarthy and his con-
troversial Investigations.
Senator Ferguson said that
without disparaging Senator
McCarthy's activities. he and
others leaders feel the Eisen-
hover program will be the big
issue" Of this years campaign for
control Of Congress.
"The leadership is trying to
keep the big issues before the
people. the issues that affect
their welfare and livelihood, T"
Ferguson said.
Similarly. Senator Knowland
said last night he fears that
continued controversy over SEN
ator Mccarthy within the party
would be dangerous to our leg
islative program" He added, in
an NBC radio interview, that II
would certainly hope this run
ming discussion win not be con-
tinued on the floor"
Sees Problem in Past,
Asked to comment on Gen.
Eisenhower's handling of the
Mccarthy furor. Senator Know
land said: There is no power
IN the presidency under which
a President can purge a Sena-
tor. The President understands
that. In past administrations
that was tried without notable
success"
Senator Ferguson said he
regards the communism in Gov
ernment issue, which Senator
Mccarthy has stressed, as
largely problem Of the past" A."
and he added:
Unlike the Democrats who
had q vested interest in retain
ing suspected employees because
it would be embarrassing to fire
them after SO long q time, the
men in Government now have
NO political reason not to clean
them out and they are doing
that"
Senator Ferguson added that
while Congress should remain
watchful" against any Com
munist infiltration. "it's got some
real business on hand that it
must do"
