Mrs. Hobby Long Set
To Quit, President Says
BY GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower revealed
today that Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby, Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare, had in
formed him months ago she
might have to retire from public
Office because of personal rea-
sons.
The President added that
should this happen he would re-
gret it greatly Mrs. Hobby, he
said, had proved that a woman
can handle any executive job.
He praised her work, both as a
member of his cabinet and as
commander of the WAC in
World War I.
Emphasized in the Presidents
remarks was the fact that, should
Mrs. Hobby retire from her Of
flee. her resignation would have
no connection with her handling
of the Salk vaccine program.
Morse Statement Cited
At the outset Of his press con-
ference. Mr.. Eisenhower's atten-
tion was called to statement
by Senator Morse. Democrat, Of
Oregon to the effect that MIS-.
Hobby should be removed from
Office forthwith because of the
mixup over the polio vaccine
program.
The President said with some
heat that he would not waste
his time commenting on the
Morse statement. He said Mrs.
Hobby has proved her worth.
He said she has handled her
job, including the vaccine pro-
gram, in a highly efficient man
ner.
Recently, it was reported that
Mrs. Hobby woud resign her pres
ent Office to return to Texas to
care for her husband, William
Pettus Hobby, a former Gov
ernor of the State. whose health
has not been good.
If and when Mrs. Hobby re-
tires, it will be the second break
in the Eisenhower cabinet. Mar
tin P. Durkin resigned from the
office of Secretary of Labor in
1858, in a dispute with the ad-
ministration over propose
amendments to the Taft-Hart-
ley Labor Act. Like Mrs. Hobby,
Mr.. Durkin Is a Democrat.
Departments First Head
Mrs. Hobby became the first
Secretary of the new Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare, appointed by President
Eisenhower in April 1858, soon
after the creation of the depart
ment. She had come to Wash

European CORRESPONDENT of The Star

LONDON, May 1s up. We
spent the first hours after our
arrival in England in a frantic
search for evidence of a national
election.
Our friends told us it was hope
less. The man who had de-
scribed the British election as "a
lull before a lull" had it about
right. If the British weren't
interested in it themselves. they
asked, how could they expect to
interest anyone else?
At first it seemed all too true.
On the way to town from the air.
port, we passed one poster which
said that you can trust Mr..
Attlee" and another saying
vote for Royle."
A careful search Of London
newspapers revealed that the
Conservatives seemed to be doing
well. A recent Gallup poll
showed them up nearly one per-
centage point from an earlier
Gallup poll. Foreign Secretary
Macmillan, returning in triumph
from Vienna with the promise of
a four-power conference in his
pocket, would help the cause.
The Socialists were suffering
from the lack of an issue, but
were expected to make trouble
about the H-bomb. Beyond this,
there didn't seem much to say.
BY and large. the candidates
were being restrained in their
arguments. It was true that Sir
Winston Churchill, referring to
Mr.. Attlee's political fence
stradling. had called him "pie-
bald" and that Mr.. Attlee had
replied hotly that Sir Winston
was a "skewbald." But at best
this amounted to a battling battle
of epithets.
Touch of Unreality
BY American standards, there
was touch of unreality about
the whole thing-something like
a contest between two Adlai
Stevensons.

The University Of Maryland

Schools, the Board of Regents
was informed today.
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, univer-
sity president. read a letter from
the associations Commission on
Institutions of Higher Educa-
tion at the regents meeting in
Baltimore.
The letter said the commits
sion's decision was to 'reaffirm

Figured in Campaign
The schools scholastic stand
ing was the subject of one phase
of last years bitter gubernatorial
campaign between DR.. Harry
Clifton Byrd, former head of the
school and now its president
emeritus, and Republican Gov
McKeldin.
1t raised such a furore that the
Legislature decided to release
the associations report after the
Board of Regents suppressed it
it for seven months. Later the
association protested it's public
release to Gov. McKeldin.
The letter. signed by Chair
man Ewald B. Nyquist, asked for
two additional reports of prog

of the associations prior criti-
cisms concerned a too-liberal

The second report, to be sub

must deal with three areas of
university activities:
/. Making effective more fac
ulty participation in formulation
of educational policy.
2. Strengthening Of the school

3. Giving effect to several re-
manning recommendations on

The association wants a COM

proach to the meeting with Soviet
Premier Bulganin means vigi-
lance in looking out for Ameri-
can interests. but not that the
search for evidences of Russian
good faith will be any the less
intensive.
The President said he believes
the American people have learned
over the last few years not to
expect too much from such a
conference. while at the same
time realizing that no chance to
advance the cause of peace can
be ignored.
His remarks amounted to an
elaboration Of some aspects Of
Secretary Of State Dulles tele-
vised report to the Nation last
night from the Presidents Office
on Soviet agreement to holding
the Big Four conference this
summer and other favorable in
ternational developments.
Discounts Fears
When asked about fears on
Capitol Hill that the adminis-
tration approach to the con-
ference was too tentative and
cautious, Mr.. Eisenhower said
at first he could not understand
the question.
He said that, of course, he
and Mr.. Dulles were cautious.
He remarked that the West now
is approaching negotiations with
the Soviet from a greater posi-
ton of strength than ever be-
fore. But he said this does not
mean that we can be less vigilant
in looking out for ourselves.
Neither does it mean, he as
serted, that the search for peace,
for evidence of Soviet good faith.
and ways to lower the worlds
arms burden and otherwise ease
tensions will be any less intensive.
A reporter asked him whether
he thought the position of some
Republicans in Congressional
even going to a conference with
the Russians meant appease-
ment-ref1ected an attitude Of
the American people generally.
No Appeasement
Emphasizing that there is no
appeasement in his heart, the
President said that to him ap-
peasement means selling out
rights to gain some immediate
end.
He added that he does not be-
lieve the American people want
that or suspects that their Gov
ernment is likely to fall into that
trap.
During his telecast last night,
Secretary Dulles warned of dan
gers as well as opportunities in a
Big Four conference. He said the
biggest danger is that hopes will
be raised so high that they can't
possibly be realized, leading
either to later disillusionment or
to an effort to make 1t appear
that agreement has been reached
when it has not.
Mr.. Eisenhower interjected
then that he did not believe that
danger is as great now as it once
was because he is sure there's
a greater maturity in the
American people than he would
have expected several years ago.
Today, the President said he
meant greater knowledge and
