Mr.. Eisenhower said he has come
to no conclusion on that matter
and would not comment until he
knows exactly what Is requested

8. Statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii. A questioner recalled
that in 1850 Mr.. Eisenhower.
when president Of Columbia Uni
yersity, advocated statehood for
Alaska, but now seems to have
changed his mind. Mr.. Eisen-
hover replied that his funda-
mental opinion on Alaskan
statehood remains the same. He
said, however, that today he is
responsible for national secur-
ity, and that very tough and
difficult problems have become
involved in legitimate aspira-
tions for statehood for that ter
ritory.
4. Pan . American Games.
Asked whether he would COM
ment on announcement that the
games will be held at Cleveland
in 1859, Mr.. Eisenhower said it
was good news and that he would
attend the games If at all pos
sible.
: S. Public power policy. Mr..
Eisenhower said he saw no need
to review the Administrations
policy because the Dixon-Yates
contract matter is headed for
the courts, the Tennessee Valley
Authority board has requested
funds for another project, and
the city Of Memphis may build
a municipal power plant. He de-
clared he never has opposed the
idea Of municipal or State prof.
ects. But he contended that the
Federal Government should not
go too deeply. into public power
programs.

TOP PAY ADJUSTMENTS
Meanwhile, Chairman Young has

AS disclosed Iere some weeks
ago, the administration will prob
ably fecoitanaend that the new
Classification Act ceiling be
$17,500 a year. The new ceiling
would permit pay adjustments
for employees in Grades IL to 18,
although the real effect would be
in the top IA to ID brackets. Also.
the pay for agency and bureau
heads and assistant secretaries
would be increased TO $4,000 or
perhaps more.
The proposed adjustments
might even reach down into the
middle grade brackets. such as

for these employees, commission
officials indicate.

Eisenhower Defends
Secret Infcfmers in
U. 5. seeurilytases

President Eisenhower insisted
today that anonymous inform
ers have to be used in some
Federal employe loyalty-security
investigations. But he said his
administration expects to do
more in finding less-sensitive
Government jobs for employees
held to be risks.
Mr.. Eisenhower made clear at
his news conference that be
agrees with the stand OF Attor.
ney General Brownell in a re.
ported disagreement between top
Justice Department ofiicials. This
concerns use Of unidentified in
formants who cannot be con-
fronted by the persons they ac-
cuSe.

cedure Is challenged in the Peters
case expected to be argued dur
ing the week Of April 18 before
the Supreme Court, II Judge
John M. Harlan is meanwhile
confirmed as an Associate JUST
ice.
Calls Secrecy Necessary
Asked whether he believed the
use of confidential informers
should be limited to criminal
proceedings. Mr.. Eisenhower said
the Government loyalty-security
program sometimes produced
certain cases where all Of the
accusers could not and should
not be brought out into the open.
He explained that, part of the
problem of protecting the Gov
ernment might involve placing
investigators or others in various
positions over a period of years.
Abrupt or premature disclosure
of their identities might hamper
the security program. he indi-
Gated.
Sees No Denial of Rights
Such a program. within rea-
sonable limits, would not amount
to denying a Federal job holder
or applicant his legal rights
under the Bill of Rights, Mr..
Eisenhower maintained.
He remarked that the systes.:
is not perfect and that probably
no such security system could be
perfect. 1t was in this connec-
ton that he said he believes less
sensitive jobs can be found in
many cases. But he added that
safeguarding the Government by
dealing with loyalty or security
risks has special problems that
cannot always be compared with
the detection and treatment of
a person accused Of cheating his
neighbor.
Other Comments.
Other topics commented on by
the President included:

Pat Ward on Stand
Again in JeIke Case
After fearful Upset
BY IN. A..oe,a,.d Pres.

NEW YORK. Mar. 16.-Pat
Ward returns to the witness
stand today In the vice trial OF
Minot F. Mickey Jelke to make
another stab at telling about her
life as a cafe society call girl.
The start of today's session
was delayed when a juror was
dropped because a reporter In
terviewed him last night. The
Juror, Max Cohen, a real estate
man, told the court the reporter
had questioned him about cer-
tcin real estate holdings. Ernest
G.. Wheeler, a postal clerk. an
alternate juror, replaced Mr..
CSIen.
Mss Ward wept uncontrollably
when questioned yesterday about
her life with Jelke and the men
who bought her favors for high
fecs.
Court was recessed once to give
her a chance to regain control.
When she broke down again soon
afterward. the session was stopped
for the day to give her a chance
to pull herself together over
night.
Now 81. Miss Ward repeated
testimony which the public and
press were not allowed to hear in
Jelke's first trial in 1858.
Verdict Set Aside
Jelke was convicted at that
time on two counts of compulsory
prostitution, but the verdict was
later set aside because the court
room had been closed while the
prosecution presented its case.
Miss Ward told of meeting
Jelke in 1851 and of going to
live with him in his East Side
apartment. She said that after
q short time he told her he
needed money and she could
help him by taking fees from
men she would meet through
him.
The only well-known men
whose names have been linked
with Miss Ward in the trial so
far are Actors Mickey RtseHts
and John Carradiile. Both veie
mentioned as pre-Jelke fricnds
OF the girl in the defense coun-
sells opening statement, and
both said she was never any,
thing more than a casual ac-
quaintance.
Admitted Acquaintance
Mr.. Rooney's name came UP
in the first trial and at the
time he admitted he had met
Miss Ward, but said they had
never been alone together.
He repeated yesterday he had
never seen Miss Ward alone.
Mr.. Carradine's name was
brought up for the first time
yesterday by Defense Attorney
George Washington Herr.
Reached yesterday at his parents
home in Swarthmore. Pa, the
actor commented:
"She never went out with ME.
I used to see her around that
little theater bar on Forty-fifth
street She couldn,t have
been much more than Is years
old at the time. She seemed to
be a stage-struck kid who liked
to hang around theater people"
