AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. 29.--
President Eisenhower returns to
Washington late today amid
signs he may speak out soon in
a growing controversy over how
to deal with imprisonment Of
Americans by Chinese Commu-
niStS.
The President, ending a five
day vacation here, faces pres
sures from some political leaders,
notably Senator Knowland, Re-
publican, of California, and from
wives and mothers of the cap
tives, for stronger American ac-
ton.
Senator Knowland, Republican
leader in the Senate, declared
over the week end the United
Stats has a moral obligation to
use more than words to pro-
tect Americans abroad" He
called for a naval blockade Of
the Chinese coast to try to force
release Of 13 Americans jaileN on
"trumped up" spy charges.
No Comment Now.
James Hagerty, White House

day Gen. Eisenhower would have

Moscow recently started a
campaign for a better feeling
in Turkey toward the q. S. S. r.
in an effort to further iso-
late the United States.
The occasion was the 31st
anniversary of Ankara beconi-
ing the capital of the Turkish
republic. The Turks them
selves paid no attention to the
anniversary" But the Moscow
radio took note of it.
The broadcast reminded the
Turks that it was the great
Lenin who helped the father
of the new republic, Kema1
Attaturk, with money and
weapons in his struggle against
the greedy colonialists. Brit
ain, France and Italy" It
ended by wishing Ankara
further expansion and
luSter."
Normally such a broadcast
would not be worth mention
ing. But Moscow does not do
things without a specific pur-
pose. MeSSrs. Malenkov, Molo-
tov and Vishinsky are now
playing "kewpie." They roll
their eyes toward their in
tended victims and use guiles
reminiscent of Mae Vests
stage invitation "Come up and
see me sometime" They have
been partially successful so far
with our European allies who
are anxious to accept the CO.
existence proposals of Moscow
and Peiping.
The Turks are a different
breed, however. They know
the Russians far better than
the Western nations and con-
sequently place no trust in
their words or deeds. Turkey
and Russia have been at drawn
daggers for centuries. And in
every instance when they
fought on the battlefield it
was Russia, not Turkey, which
initiated the aggression.
In the days of the czars
the Russian aggressions were
perpetrated in the name Of
