 Lonardi backed this by tell ing newsmen last night Peron was free to begin exile in Para quay at any time.

 q bit more today

DENVER (P) Tension over President Eisenhower's illness eased a bit more today - and hopes frightened a bit for his recovery before any crisis a. rises over delegation of presi- dential powers.
 A continuing succession Ot hospital bulletins reporting satisfactory progress without complications cheered admin lstration officials and the pre- sident, too.
 "Get well" messages contin ued to pour into Fitzsimmons army hospital from all over the world - one of the latest from Eisenhower's old friend and World War II comrade-in arms, Soviet Marshall Georgi Zhukov.
 WASHINGTON (P) Presi- dent Eisenhower's adlministra- tive team was described today as confident that within 30 days at most the president himself will again be able to guide the nation.
 The opinion was based on continued optimistic medical reports on Eisenhower's pro- gress in recovering from a heart attack which struck him last Saturday in Denver.
 One presidential aide said that if a matter of transcend ental importance should arise immediately, it could be taken to the president even now.
 Meanwhile, however, Eisen- hower's top aides were report ed to be settling down to 30-

 ''I think the woman is a psyoholog'ically disturbed per- son.
 'HI, myself, have no further concern with the woman, oth- CT than to offer my thanks for the baIby's return"
 Chief O'Keefe quoted Mrs. Benedicto, wife of a prosper ous publisher of Filipino weekly newspaper, as saying she took the child because she had convinced friends, includ- ing her husband, she was prag nant.
 The husband, Marcus Rene dicto, 52, didn't know of the ruse, the chief said and didn't become suspicious until last night. Then he went to police, almost at the moment his wife was telephoning pr. Marcus, about 12:35 a. m. today.
 O'Keefe said Mrs. Benedic- to sobbed out this story:
 When sSPana' BenedictO be- gan passing out cigars. she went to San Francisco, looked over the Mt. Zion hospital nursery and dashed away with the Marcus baby. She said she chose that particular one be- cause Marcus was her hus- bands first name.
 Mrs. Benedicto drove i'm mediately back to Stockton with the baby and kept him in her three room apart ment H. while possibly the greatest manhunt in the his tory of the San Francisco Bay area was getting underway
 Then mental anguish set in She said she loved the baby and wanted to keep him. But all the time her radio and tel evision sets were blaring pleas from the grief-stricken parents for the return of their child. At last she decided to give him up.

The House committee approved

carriers, postal clerks and motor
vehicle operators that would
range from $3,640 to $4,360 a

rates of $3,270 to $4,070.

Democrats Answer Charges.
Meanwhile, Democrats on the
Senate Civil Service Committee
today answered charges made by
Republican members who filed a
minority report on the postal pay
bill approved by the committee.
The Republicans charged that
the 10 per cent pay raise would
not apply to all postmasters and
supervisors. The Democrats de-
clared that the boost would apply
to all. Also, the Democrats said
that the pay differentials be-

by the bill, as charged by the
Republicans.
Republican members charge
that the committee completely

Corsi Is Defended
By State Department
In Attack by Walter
By Mary McGroy

The State Department today
stood by Edward ]. Corsi, its
immigration expert who has
been under fire from Chairman
Walter of the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee.
Assistant Secretary Of State
Thruston Morton, replying to a
letter from Mr.. Walter in which
the Congressman offered proof"
of Mr.. Corsi's membership in a
Communist" organization, in
dicated that Mr.. Corsi met the
State Departments high stand
ards of existing laws and regula-
tions."
Denies Being Director.
In his letter to Mr.. Morton, Mr..
Walter enclosed a pamphlet
which purported to show that Mr..
Corsi was an organizer and a
member of the board of direc-
tors of the American Committee
for the Protection of Foreign
Born, an organization put on the
Attorney Generals subversive
list in 1948.
In reply. Mr.. Morton. in his
letter today, quoted Mr.. Corsi
as saying: Il have no recollection
of being asked to serve on the
Board of Directors of the Ameri-
can Committee for the Protec-
tion of the Foreign Born. I am
positive that I never consented
to serve on this board and that
I never attended any of it's meet
lngS or ever met Mr.. McWilliams,

MI. Morton also assured Mr..
Walter of the departments con-
tlnulng concern that it have on
its rolls only persons who meet
the high standards of existing
laws and regulations"
A department spokesman said
this means that since Mr.. Corsi
is on the State Department rolls
he meets those standards.
Mr.. Walter first made his
charges against Mr.. Corsi on
Monday. at a meeting of a
Judiciary subcommittee consid-
ering revision of the Refugee
Relief Act. Mr.. Corsi, who served

Trade Bill Indorsed
ByCI0 and Grange;
Safeguards Urged
By J. A. o'Leoy

The CIO and the National
Grange today urged the Senate
Finance Committee to approve
the Eisenhower iberalized for
eign trade agreement program.
But the CIO also asked the
committee to report favorably
a companion bill to assist work.
ers, industries and communities
adversely affected by increased
imports.
A third witness, representing
the National Council Of Ameri-
can Importers. Inc, favored an
even more liberal program than
the pending House bill.
Morris S. Rosenthal. Spokes-
man for the importers. asked
that the law be extended for
four or six years, instead of
three, and that the President
be allowed to cut tariffs Is per
cent instead Of Is per cent.
James B. Carey, secretary
treasurer of the CIO. said that
labor group is proud of its record
of support for liberalized Amer
ican trade policies. But he en-
phasized that the CIO does not
want to see any basic American
industries destroyed and for that
reason wants the escape clause
and the peril-point provision
continued in their present form.
He also stressed the need for a
separate bill to aid areas and
industries that may be hurt by
trade agreement.
This committee and the Con-
gress must face up to the basic
and fundamental problem of the
changing employment patterns
in the United States resulting
from increased world trade" said
Mr.. Carey. There is no denying
that some injury may occur in
the United States as the result
of import policies. However. it
is not our position that because
injury may exist international
trade should be cut off"
A statement filed by Herschel
D. NeWsom, master of the Ma
tional Grange. pointed out that
the American farmer must sell
from 10 to II per cent of his
production abroad, which quite
often establishes the price and
restricts the income of Ameri-
can producers. He said this
general average goes up to about
one-third of the crop in the
case of wheat and cotton.
! The importers argued that the
escape clause in present form
is harmful and illustrates the
purposes of the act. Mr.. Rosen-
thai said it should be based on
the overall national interest
and the needs of defense. He
advocated giving the executive
board discretion in determining
whether the effect of . tariff
changes on particular industries
outweigh the benefit to the
economy as a whole.
