PARIS, June 29.-The way

ample pressure at the summit

mosphere. There's scarcely any
worthy cause in the interna-
tional field whose spokesmen
aren't already working overtime
trying to persuade Western lead
ers to accept their special point
of view.

pressive of these outfits to arrive
on the scene is the Assembly of

President Eisenhower said to-
day that the Democratic-con-
trolled Congress had made prog
ress on the administrations leg
islative program, but still has
not acted on number of very
important bills.
He listed at his press confer
ence 13 separate measures which
have not been passed finally by
Congress. He asked at one point
why Congress had been fooling
around with some Of the legis-
lation he had requested.
The Presidents remarks drew
an immediate retort from Senate
Democratic Leader johnson of
Texas, who declared Congress ''is
not going to carry out his (Eisen-
hower's) recommendations like a
bunch of second lieutenants TAX
ing orders"
The question Of legislation
came up when Mr.. Eisenhower
was asked about remarks of
Senator johnson yesterday in
extolling the accomplishments of
the Democratic Congress.
In doing so, Mr.. Johnson,
without naming the President,
took a crack at q remark made
by Mr.. Eisenhower in the 1854
congressional campaign to the
effect that election of q Demo-
cratic Congress would mean "a
cold war of partisan politics"
The President said today that
he assumed Senator JohnSon's
allusion was to q campaign
speech he had made.
Reply Prepared
Mr.. Eisenhower, obviously
ready to reply to Senator john
sons remarks, then pulled from
his pocket the list of legislation
he had requested which had not
been finally attended to in Con-
gress. The list included the fol-
lowing measures:
Highway construction, nili-

Dismissed as
locoI Incident
BY CECIL HOLLAND

President Eisenhower said to.
day the chances of solid progress
at the Geneva Big Four confer-
ence are better than he thought
they were two months ago.
The President told a news
conference recent events have
shown that some change has
come about in Russian attitude.
This. he added, cannot but have
some effect on our efforts to
deal with Russian leaders at the
summit conference, which starts
July l8.
| Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized,
however, that he was trying not
to expect too much by way Of
solutions from the meeting Of
the heads of government. But.
he said, the meeting may serve
as a method of putting the Big
Four thinking about world prob-
lens into new channels.
Cites Plane Incident
Speaking with some emotion,
the President said the people OF
the world deserve an opportunity.
such as is afforded by the sum-
NIT talks, to see the intentions
of all of us.
Mr.. Eisenhower cited the re-
cent shooting down of United
States Navy plane to illustrate
a changed attitude on the part
OF Russia. He said it was en-
couraging to note that the Soviet
Government had expressed regret
for the incident and offered to
pay half the damage.
I The President said he was sure
the Bering Strait incident was q
local matter and something that
was not directed as a matter Of
policy. In this connection, he
mentioned that the weather was
bad at the time of the shooting.
Dulles Blames Pilots
The Presidents statement on
last Wednesdays incident went
somewhat further than Secre-
Itary of State Dulles comments
|at news conference yesterday.
Mr.. Dulles blamed the shooting
on "trigger-happyg Soviet pilots
while saying, too that he did
not think 1t Represented a con-
Isidered policy of Russia.
| Today's news Conference.-The
tflrst Mr.. Eisenhower has held in
three weeks-was directed largely
toward the approaching Big -Four
conference. In looking forward
ito that meeting the President
touched on these subjects:
SOVIET SATELLITES. The
President could not take stand
in advance on any congressional
resolutions expressing the hope
the Communist satellite coun.
tries can achieve freedom. He
said he had stated over and over
again there can be no real peace
until all countries have the right
Iof self determination. But, he
added, one must proceed with
caution and rely not on war but
moral suasion.
| DISARMAMENT. This country
will not advance a formalized
program for easing armaments
at the Big Four conference, but
is working on a generalized pro.
gram. Disarmament, the Presi-
dent said, is going to be a long
and torturous road.
FOREIGN AID. The President
emphasized anew the Importance
OF this undertaking and cited q

Reserves Bill
Set for Debate
Critics See Too Muct
Power for Pentogon
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

The House Rules Committee
today cleared the military re-
serves bill for floor action late
tomorrow or Friday, but men,
bers criticized it as possibly CIV
ling "Pentagon brass hats" too
much power.
The bill, designed to strength
en- and provide q 80 million
man trained reserve by 1860,
faces a rugged battle when it
comes up for House debate. This
was made even more evident by
questions raised by members of
the Rules Committee at a two
hour hearing today.
House leaders had planned to
call up the bill early tomorrow
afternoon but consideration may
have to be delayed because of an
unexpectedly lond debate on the
foreign aid authorization bill.
Two-Hour Debate Set
| Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee and
other Democrats and Repub-
licans on that committee were
successful in obtaining Rules
Committee clearance of the bill
for two hours of general debate
under an open rule permitting
amendments from the floor.
They were told by various
members of the Rules Commit
tee, however, that the bill seemed
vague in some sections. Critics
also said the bill apparently
gave the Defense Department
too much discretion in estab-
fishing regulations for the length
of active field training in addi-
ton to stipulated service in the
ready reserve.
A related bill, the draft law
extension bill, meanwhile, was
sent to the White House last
night after surviving a bitter
battle in the House. 1t is
expected to be signed by Presi-
Ident Eisenhower before the pres
lent law expires tomorrow.
