OAR Leads in Scramble
For Convention Rooms

to depend on catch-as-catch-can
luck.
Most hotels ~ including the
Mayflower, Statler. Willard and
Sheraton ark-said they were
booked solid for that week.
The Greater National Capital
Committee reported hotel rooms
at a premium and said all reser-
vations now being accepted are
for rooms in tourist houses and
motels.
Ordinarily the Daughters
would be homeward bound by
April 81, but this year they are
giving harassed hotel men no
definite date as to when they'll
relinquish their rooms.
That is because this is the
triennial convention at which
they elect a president general
and her cabinet Of IL members
for a three-year term.
There may be so or more can
didates for 81 national offices.
OAR rules require that a can
didate for each Office must get
a majority vote. and in 1914
that meant vote after vote and
a prolonged convention.
The 1914 convention was held
in New York because of wartime
restrictions on meetings in
Washington. Also, delegates were
limited to a few days stay at
a hotel.
That limitation ran out be-
fore their officers we're elected
and they wound up balloting in
one corner Of a hotel ballroom
being used for another conven-
ton.

President Saws
He d Seek OK
For Troop Use
Congress Approval
To Be Asked Before
Any War Move
BY GARRETT ID. HORNER

President Eisenhower declared
emphatically today he never
would order American troops
into any action that could be
interpreted as war in the Middle
East or anywhere else without
approval by Congress.
The President told a news
conference, however, that the
United States must do every
thing it can to preserve peace in
the Middle East and help all
the people of that area because
of its strategic Importance to the
free world.
No Change in Soviet Aims
On other subjects in the for
leign policy field, the President
said:
/. He and Secretary of State
Dulles agree there is no discern
ible basic change in the funda-
mental aims of communism for
world dictatorship, despite the
recent downgrading of former
Russian Premier Stain by So
Wet leaders.
2. He has decided against
witnessing personally any atomic
or hydrogen bomb tests because
he wants TO prove to the world
that his chief interest in nuclear
science is in its peacetime appli-
cation rather than to use the
presidency to publicize its de-
structive uses.
3. The North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. seven years old to-
day, has really proved its worth
in building UP the defensive
power and morale Of the free
world.
4. The United States does not
want to enter into any disarma-
ment agreement until there is
some trial Of controlled system
to see if it can work.
5. In connection with the
Bricker amendment to limit the
presidential treaty making power,
he never will agree to anything
that would interfere with the Ex-
ecutive Department negotiating
and laying before Congress
treaties that serve the Nation S
best interests.
Irked by Mideast Question
Mr.. Eisenhower reacted angrily
when a reporter asked him if, in
the case OF an emergency in
the troubled Middle East, he
would order American Marines
in the Mediterranean area into
war there without prior approval
by Congress.
The question was a follow up
to Secretary of State Dulles
news conference yesterday in
which he said the President
would not be disposed to use
American forces in the Middle
East without concurrence of
Congress unless some emergency
arose that did not allow time
for consulting Congress.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he was
discouraged that such a ques-
ton should be asked of him in
view Of his having stated SO
often in the past his determine
Ition to observe the constitutional
authority of Congress to declare
war.
He said that, of course, there
might be an occasion in which
American troops would have to
defend themselves, but he would
not consider this war.
He then asserted forcefully
that he would. not order Ameri-
can troops into anything that
could be interpreted as war until
Congress directs it.
No Recent Change
Mr.. Eisenhower said there had
been no radical change in the
Middle East situation during the
past week.
/ He emphasized he considers
