POLICY
Continued From First Page


"The President has delayed too
long in making clear to the
world that we are going to stay
within the framework of inter-
national law and we are outside
Of it today"
Meanwhile. Mr.. Eisenhower
was pictured as puzzled over Red
China's intentions In the Far
East and undecided on what to
do If the Communists attack the
off-shore islands.
The. picture was provided by
comments Of Senators of both
parties who attended yesterdays
White House luncheon with the
President.
Senator H. Alexander Smith.
Republican, of New Jersey said
Mr.. Eisenhower was quite dis
tressed over all the talk of war. :"
but felt that the mysterious
workings of the Oriental mind
prevented an accurate appraisal
Of, the chances for war or peace
ia the Far East.
'sYou can't figure out the
Oriental mind and yet you have
to understand the Oriental mind
In order to know what viii hap
pen," was the way Senator
Smith reported the Presidents
expressed feelings.
Strategy Stin Undecided
Majority Leader johnson and
others present reported that Mr..
Eisenhower has not yet decided
what the United States viii do.
1.-THE question of war or peace
Is still with u.s." Senator john
son said after the conference.
The Associated Press said d
"highly placed Senator" who
asked not to be quoted by name.
described the President as believ-
ing Russia does not want to
fight a major war sIlow--nor sup
port one. The Senator said q
reply of that nature was given
when the question of Russia's
intentions was raised during the
conference, the. AP reported.
Several Senators said that no
alarming new Developments
came to light at the conference.
Senate Foreign Relations COM
mittee Chairman George, Demo-
Graf, of Georgia, sadi there
Is no immediate crisis" In the
Far East. Senator Millikin. Re-
publican, of Colorado, said, i
heard nothing that alarmed me"
No Crisis, johnson Says
Senator johnson said the
President told his guests at the
outset they were not invited to
the conference because Of any
particular incident or crisis.
The Democratic leader said
most Of the time was taken by q
briefing on the world situation
and by Secretary Of State Dulles.
The Senator said there was
nothing particularly new In the
Secretary's remarks.
Senator Johnson pointed out
that it is the Presidents respon-
sibility to make the decision con-
earning Quemoy and Mats,l, UNI
der his constitutional powers and
the authority Congress has con-
ferred on him.
