but he did not know how much
could be absorbed through
greater efficiency in attenuation.
Defends Soil Program
In response to other questions,
the President defended his farm
program and Republicans in
Congress against charges that
they had sabotaged his school
construction bill.
He bridled with an expression
Of amazed disbelief when a re-
porter asked his reaction to
charges by some Democrats that
his administration is trying to
buy the farm vote.
Payments under the soil bank
program are as directed by law,
Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized. He
added that he thinks it is a
pity the law was not passed
earlier so more farmers could
qualify.
In regard to the school bill
fight, the President said it should
be remembered that he recon-
mended a bill with two primary
features providing that Federal
aid and school construction
should be allotted on a basis of
need and not as a substitute for
present State programs.
Recalls G. o. P. Vote
When that bill was before the
House on a recommittal motion,
he recalled that about three
fourths of the Republicans voted
for it. 1t was only when those
features had been taken out of
the measure that Republicans
voted against it, he said. But so
did Democrats, he added, help
ing to kill their own bill as well
as his.
Asked whether he would favor
ia civil rights plank in the Re-
publican platform unfolding the
Supreme Courts decision out
having racial segregation in
schools, the President said he
had given no thought to how the
plank should be stated. He
added thoughtfully that of
course he was sworn to uphold
the Constitution.
Asked about possible action
to enforce the Supreme Courts
indignation decision, Mr.. Eisen-
hover emphasized that the
Supreme Courts whole plan for
indignation involved implement
tation through local courts in
recognition of local problems.
COunscls Patience
AS he has in the past, he
counseled patience because the
school pattern in the South had
been built up according to an
earlier Supreme Court decision
providing for separate but equal
school facilities for white and

that, if he's driving at a speed
that won't permit him to stop

However, lowered speed is not
the whole solution, Col. Shew
said. In order to see danger quick

it, the driver must step up his
alertness.
He pointed out that the walk

advantage of being able to see a

its driver can see him, so the
