DENVER, Sept. 25.-President
Eisenhower turned his attention
to national security problems to-
day after three days of politick-
ing as the Republican Party's
fighting leader in its campaign
to retain control of Congress in
the November elections.
He scheduled a conference
at his Denver work-and-play va
cation headquarters today with
Robert Cutler, his Especial as
sistant for National Security
Council affairs. AS usual in such
meetings, even the nature of
the world problems up for dis
cussion was secret.
He also arranged a meeting
with four members of the Eisen-
hover Memorial Foundation, set
up at his boyhood home town of
Abilene, Kans., where he plans
to stop for q brief visit on his
way back to Washington about
the middle of next month.
The dramatic climax Of the
Presidents flying political trip
through four Far Western States
came in Los Angeles yesterday
when he charmed an American
Federation Of Labor convention
hostile to his administration into
friendly respect but not agree
ment with his policies.
There, he vowed to do his best
again next year to get Congress
to rid the Taft-Hartley Act of
union n-busting" provisions and
what he called the completely
un-American" requirements that
labor union leaders take anti
Communist oaths.
He promised that AFL views
will be "sympathetically consid-
cred" on other matters. mention
ing in particular ideas about
what should be done to meet
obvious soft spots in our econ
omy."
But he. made it clear that he
was not attempting to buy labor
support with any special favors
by saying that AFL views will
get the same thorough consid-
Grafton "as will the views Of every

other great group of Americans. !"
Frankly recognizing differences
between the big labor organiza-
ton "as a body" and his admin
istration, he pointed out with a
smile that "it isn't everything
we are differing about"
Among things on which they
agree. he listed absolute opposi-
ton to communism in all its
forms" and dislike for any moves
to start up the Korean war again,
raise taxes, increase Government
expenses or cut back social secur-
ity benefits.
In his 12-minute off-the-cuff
talk to the AFL convention, the
President mixed humor-he got
a big laugh when he said he
understood that by tradition
the AFL was completely nom
political"-with friendly praise
for what organized labor has
done for the country. His man
ner eased any personal tension
caused by the conventions
criticism Of his administration.
He got in some political digs,
too, blaming "a solid Democratic
vote in the Senate" for failure
of the last session Of Congress
to redeem his pledge to eliminate
union busting" provisions of the
Taft-Hartley Act.
AFL President George Meany
told the President his remarks.

vention's critical resolutions,

any issue. The country will be
secure as long as that right Is
preserved. he added.

sanct about any views that ] hold,

just want to say this. the views
Of this convention will be studied,
and thoroughly and sympathet-
ically considered just as will the
views Of every other great gorup
Of Americans that compare with
it.
Regrets Failure"
I know that at times we seem
to like issues more than reforms
and advancement. I saw I was
challenged in one paper as to
what I was going to say to this
convention about my failure to
redeem my pledge to get away
from the union-busting provi-
sions in the Taft-Hartley Act.
Well, I can only say this: I re-
gret that failure. If this were
not a completely non-political
meeting. I would point out that
a solid Democratic vote in the
Senate Of the United States de-
feated me. But that is political
and I shouldn't state that be-
lief.
I am going to recommend to
get rid of that provision. I also
recommended and stated that I
would recommend measures for
making certain that people in
organized labor were not COM
PEELED to take an oath they were
anti = Communist, particularly
when no one else had to do so.
I think that is completely un-
American. will do my best to
get rid Of it. If I have to, I
will resort in order to redeem
my promises-and certainly !
hope that there is no one that
can say I have not made every
effort that I know how to make
in order to redeem any pledge
I have ever made to any individ-
ual in this world as a group and
as an individual-if necessary
I will take those two and put
them In one special package by
themselves in order that I can
say to you I kept that promise
Now. you people, know, are
against vested interests. and SO
am I. I want to say just one
thing-one of my special jobs
is to see that the Federal Gov
ernment does not, establish such
monopolies over our lives, such
directive power in our communi-
ties and in our States that it be-
comes the greatest vested inter-
est of all. and finally as an in
strument for attacking the indi-
vidual liberties of each one oil
us. One Of my tasks is to dc
just that.
Problems Are Complex.
I have tried time and again to
find a short way of stating the
policy Of an administration which
has to deal with the most COM
plex, the most worldwide prob
