WASHINGTON, Rl-Atty. Gen. Brownell today filed suit to whit tie down the size of the Conrad Hilton hotel empire.
 The action under the antitrust laws was brought against the worlds largest hotel owner in federal district court here.
 It specifically charged the Hill ton Hotels Corp with violating the antimerger section of the Clayton Antitrust Law when it acquired the Statler hotel chain late last year.
 The suit also named as a de fendant the Statler Hotels Della ware Corp, newly organized to hold some of the acquired Statler properties.
 The attorney general asked the court to order Hilton to dispose of some hotel properties in New York City, Washington DC, St. Louis and Los Angeles.

Federal Court Order Restrains
 Terri. Treasurer Transferring
 $2 Million To Depleted ESC Fund

JUNEAU, LR - District Judge George w. Folta issued a tenn porary restraining order Monday preventing Territorial Treasurer Hugh J Wade from transferring $2 million from the territorial general fund to the depleted Un- employment Benefit fund
 Judge Folta made the ruling before taking under advisement a suit heard Monday in which Frank Shelton, Ketchikan city assessor, seeks a preliminary in junction against the fund trans fer.
 Shelton contends the territor- ial Organic Act and territorial law were not needed in passage of the huge loan bill by the special session of the 22nd terri torial legislature.
 Half of the S2 million had all ready been drawn before Shelton filed suit in. Ketchikan 10 days ago against the transfer.
 The $2 million was expected to tide the unemployment fund over and permit it to be replenished under a new contributions form ula contained in the ESC bill also passed at the special session.
 Ketchikan attorney Charles Cloudy represented Shelton and Asst Atty Gen. Henry J. Cama- rot represented the territory.

News Conference
 Higghllights

WASHINGTON, R-Eisenhow- CTS news conference today was the first in a month and it dealt with a broad range of topics:
 Government Information-Eis Eis- enhower declared he is unalter- ably opposed to publication of any technical military secrets merely because, as he phrased it, one or the other federal depart ment desires to be first with the announcement of the data.
 He can see no reason, Eisen- hover added, for having to make public information about a US. airplane which is able to fly straight up. The Navy has devel- oped such a vertical takeoff craft.
 The Presidents remarks were in reply to request for comment on the Defense Departments new information policy, which has done much to dry up military news
 Eisenhower apparently had in mind reports that the armed ser vices have vied with each other, in some instances, as to which could be first with an announce ment of development of new de- vices.
 Economic Prospects-The Pres ident said the Federal Reserve Board decision to increase stock market margin requirements to TO from so percent is, as he put it, more of a red flag of warning, than any specific concern about the situation on the part of the government.
 Immigration Eisenhower e- piled with a crisp no when asked whether he is satisfied with oper- ation of the law dealing with ad- mittance of refugees to this coun- try. His reply was just as crisply yes to another question whether he would support changes in the law.

Victory For Ike
 Seen In Approval Foreign Trade Bill

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower was credited with a substantial victory today in Sen ate Finance Committee approval of his foreign trade bill without major changes, but it still faces a tough floor battle.
 The committee approved the bill late yesterday on the 13-2 vote. Sens. Kerr, Democrat, and Malone, Republican, were the only dissenters.
 Chairman Byrd D-VA hailed this virtual unanimity as sign that the bill could be put through the Senate without any damaging amendments.
 Nevertheless, sponsors of the administration-opposed amend ments rejected in the committee laid plans to carry the battle to the floor. This was particularly true of senators who seek relief from import competition for spe- cific commodities. One powerful lineup favors a sharp cutback on oil shipments into this country.

Eisenhower Discloses He's Been Exchanging Letters With Zhukov,
 Feels Peace Prospects Improving

Eisenhower disclosed today he had been in private correspon- dence with Soviet Defense Min ister Zhukov within the past three weeks. He said the cores pondence holds out some slim hope of betterment in United States Soviet relations.
 Eisenhower told of the corres- pondence at a news conference, and said he has a feeling world peace prospects are on the up- swing.
 As to Red China, the President said the United States is willing to confer alone with the Commu- nists regarding a Formosa area cease-fire but not on matters af- fecting Nationalist China.
 Tn saying he feels peace pros poets are improving, Eisenhower said it is also possible, however, to balance every encouraging de- velopment--such as the willing ness of Russia to agree, on an Austrian peace treaty-with an adverse development, such as the Red Chinese air buildup in the vicinity of Formosa.
 He said at this time he sees no reason for a meeting between himself and the British, French and Russian heads of state as result of the Austrian treaty ne gotiations. But he said such a meeting is always possible.
 Secretary of State Dulles, Brit ish Foreign Secretary Harold MacMillan and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay have scheduled a meeting May 1 in Paris to discuss a meeting with the Russians.
 Eisenhower declined to give de- tails of his correspondence with Marshal Zhukov until the Soviet government official gives the word
 Eisenhower and Zhukov became we'll acquainted during occupa- ton days in Berlin immediately after the defeat of Germany in World War II. At that time, Zhu- kov once made. plans-never car ried through-to visit the United States.
 At a news conference last Feb ruary, Eisenhower was asked whether he might now extend a new invitation to the Russians. The President called it an idea worth considering.
 Today, in the talk about Eisen- hower's correspondence with Zhukov, the President was asked specifically about a published re- port that he asked Zhukov to intervene to seek the release of American airmen imprisoned by Red China.
 The President replied he was not at liberty to discuss the con- tents of the correspondence ex- change. He added that he would not want to be party to possibly jeopardizing any world better ment that might flow from the exchange.
