Eisenhower told in detail of
the eleven years of negotiation
and effort by the United
States Government to reach
an agreement with the Soviet
government on disarmament.
He revealed that the Soviets
had consistently refused to
look at the situation as a
whole and had repeatedly in
sisted on ban of H-bombs
or a ban on atomic tests. ir-

other weapons or of any sys-

would be foolproof. The PreSi-
dent said:
There is only one reason
why no safe agreement has
been effected to date: The re-
fusal of the Soviet Union to
accept any dependable system
of mutual safeguards"

Rayburn give the impression
that efforts to negotiate have
not been made and that the
Democratic presidential nomi-

some peculiar influence with
the SovietS to make them
agree to something they have
consistently refused to agree
to for more than a decade.
President Eisenhower now
has given chapter and verse,
demolishing every point in the
Stevenson argument and at
the same time emphasizing
official facts which completely
contradict the statements of
few scientists here and there
who are not familiar with the
official data but have risen to
Stevenson's support in an at
tempt to confuse the issue.

Eisenhower Lends Hand at Ceremony
In Structure, Sign Of L0bor's Advance

Labor got presidential pres
tige for the opening of its new
headquarters here, and Presi-
dent Eisenhower got a harvest
of good publicity. especially
Photographic, accenting his
considerable personal charm.
That is the net of the Presi-
dents participation in the died.
ication of the handsome ALL
CLIO building a few steps across
Lafayette Park from the White
House.
Labor didn't expect any
more, and the President had
planned it that way.
The impressive headquarters
next door to historic st. Johns
Episcopal Church-the Church
of the Presidents-is the out
ward sign of the tremendous
advances union labor has made
since Franklin Roosevelt took
office in 1888. Yet now, as the
long-hoped-for merger of the
great labor organizations set
ties itself into quarters worthy
of Rockefeller. labor infiu-
ence in politics has never been
less.
Not a single labor leader has
the private ear of the Presi-
dent. He has no coy personal
friend among them, no trusted
adviser from within union
ranks. No labor leader is
among his golfing companions
