GETTYSBURG, Pa, Aug. 10
One thing this proud but friendly
battlefield town means to do is to
take in stride its eminent part
time resident, Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
You'll hear this determination
stated by many of the towns
1900 people who have found
themselves neighbors to the
President. Mostly they put it
something like this:
We're glad to have Ike living
here-delighted. in fact. We're
proud he picked Gettysburg, out
of the whole country, as the
place to buy a farm. And, if you
come right down to it, it looks as
II he's going to be good for the
tourist business.
But don't forget that Gettys-
burg was on the map long before
any of this happened. We had a
battle here - remember? And,
much as we like him. Ike is not
the first President to honor us
with his presence.
And of course he isn't, al
though others haven't spent as
much time here.
Lincoln, Too
Gettysburg-and the country
will not forget the November
day in 1868 when the lean,

Gettysburg Is Taking
Eisenhower in Its Stride

melancholy figure of Abraham
Lincoln descended from train
(at the gray-painted station still
standing here) and delivered a
few words:
-Four score and seven years
ago
Other Presidents have come
to Gettysburg-every one since
Mckinley, in fact.
I But Mr.. Eisenhower is the first
Chief Executive to take up resi-
dence here. He lives-all this
week and most summer week
ends-in the roomy, ~air-con-
ditioned house he rebuilt a little
south of the town, a stones
throw from where Picketts
charge carried the Confederacy
to its high water mark.
What does a town do when it
finds a President in its midst?
Gettysburg has done the tact
full, dignifled thing. If found out
what the President wanted. then
tried to give it to him.
Golf Links Open to Him
1t made him welcome at the
Presbyterian Church, where Lin
coin worshipped that memoir
able day in 1868. The Gettys-
burg Country Club opened to
him, and most good days when
he's here see the President
happily careening over the golf
course in one of the colorfully
painted electric go-carts which
the club just happened to buy
after it found out he liked them.
1t fixed up a private locker room
for him.
Gettysburg enjoys having
Mamie Eisenhower drop in for a
round of shopping. 1t under
stands her husbands visit doesn't
leave much time for such events
as Lions Club luncheons or corn
and-wiener roaStS.
So GettySburg's attitude is, for
the most part, to give the PreSi-
dent a smile and a wave and
then to forget about him. The
town knows he likes 1t that way.
The town rather likes it. too.
Some folks here have worked
up lather over q report, pub
lished recently in a magazine,
that the porches Of houses over
looking the golf course are in
demand as balcony seats when
the President is playing.
Reporters and photographers
playing behind the President
checked on that one last week
end. The verdict: Not a peeker
on any porch.
The Presidents total gallery
on the last green consisted of
three women and one little girl
who wandered down from the
swimming pool in bathing suits.

NEW YORK (P) The AF'L- CIO neared the end of its his toric founding convention to- day amid a disagreement over arranging talks for a labor peace pad. with business.
 George Meany, AFL-CIO pre- sident, said representatives of the National Assn. of Manufac- turers (NAM) had talked with him and accepted a bid to Me any to discuss a live and let live arrangement.
 The NAM denied having a. greed to any such discussions.
 While Meany indicated he would try to straighten out the difficulty today, there remain ed the solid fac. that this No. l leader of organized labor was counting the idea of working out a nonaggression deal with industry.
 Charles R. Sllgh, Jr., the M AIMS board chairman, expres- sed surprise at Meany's over ture. Sligh did not, however throw any cold water on the un deriving suggestion labor and management could work out an agreement narrowing their diff ferences.
 Meany declined to say what he has in mind but stated tc reporters that he feels there is a wide area in which industry and labor could agree. Asked whether he consider Cd getting toge her on legisla ton as one possibility for a greement, Meany refused tx l say.
 The idea may be expanded somewhat tomorrow when Me any makes Luncheon addres to the NAM, also in session , here. on the subjeo5 of 'swha labor expects from industry.

Charges attempt 10 stir up class conflict VI COP

NEW YORK (P) Alai Stew enson today accused Republi- can leaders of ''hate monger- ing" against labor and asked whether 1t was an attempt Ito stir up class conflict"
 The Democratic candidate for the 1856 presidential nomina- ton said he was speaking ''bluntly against what appears to be a design to play the ugly politics of group hatred"
 Stevenson told cheering de- legates at the AFL-CIO conven tion a number of Republicans, including two members of Pre- sident Eisenhower's cabinet have recently engaged in "a dan gerous brand of politics" in criticism against organized la bor.
 His speech was interrupted 27 times by applause mad when it was finished he received a standing ovation. In 1852 Ste venson received the endorse ment of the AFL and CIO meeting in separate conventions
 Stevenson said there ap- pears to be a design to play the ugly polisics of group hatred, :" and he asked:
 'tIs this, indeed, an attempt to stir up class conflict? No election, no office is worth such a price"
 He said the highest duty of American people nowadays is to say nothing in the political arena which will hurt demo- cracy's chances abroad. He add ed:
 And the politics of hate mongering even blights demo- cracy's future here at home"
 Stevenson, defeated 1852 De mocratic presidential candidate who now is making another bid for his party's nomination, spoke before the AFL-CIO con vention.
 He said he had intended mot to let this become political speech" but went on to add:

Wire tapping
 explosive issue uf convention

FAIRBANKS lP) The con- stitutional convention commit tee on the bill of rights is try ing to figure out whaE to do about the explosive issue of wire tapping
 Should a prohibition of that controversial practice be in cluded in Alaska's constitution
 The committee hasn't decid- ed but one member, James Doc gan of Fairbanks, is dead set against the prohibition
 As the committee wrestled with the subject yesterday for the first time, Doogan said: ITO prohigit wire tapping would undermine the very roots of law enforcement. There's both right and wrong wire tapping. A statement a. bout it does not belong in the constitulti ion as a fundamental right"
 John Hellenthal, Anchorage wondered if outlawing wire tapping with specific qualifi- cations would be a good idea. He cited the practice of allow ing wire tapping eases of Urea son, but only then if decided upon during secret session of a l U. s. district court.
 Language encompassing the issue was presented for consid eration, not necessarily as 3 recommendation. The wording is: ''Wire tapping or obtaining unauthorized information by other technical means or devic es is prohibited. Evidence ob- tained in violation of this sec ton shall be inadmissable in the courts"
 The suggested draft gave rise to Doogan's expression o1 views.
 The committee session clos ed with no decision. Chairman Dorothy Ayes has the hope that this and other last-min- u.e issues will be decided ir the next few days so the com mittee may report ito the whole convention in full on it's as signed subjects bill Q rights and preamble by Mol day.
