people who work with him day
in and day out.
1t has been just about three
months since Mr.. Eisenhower re-
turned to his White House desk
on January 9 after recuperating
from his heart attack.
He gradually took up what had
been normal, although not eS-
sential, functions, but such &C
tivities were widely scattered
until the past week.
Activities in Past Week
Last Monday, the President
took part in a ceremony at which
Percival F. Brundage was sworn
in as director of the Budget
Bureau.
He went to the District Red
Cross Building on Tuesday to
address the Advertising Council.
After his half-hour news con-
ference Wednesday morning, he
received the Sword Of Hope. SYM
Dol Of the American Cancer So
ciety. in a ceremony to promote
its Embarrassing campaign. He
also conferred with Senators
Saltonstall. Republican Of Mas
sachusetts and Duff, Republican
of Pennsylvania.
Thursday saw Mr.. Eisenhower
receiving Colonel Inez Haynes,
chief of the Army Nurse Corps
and 1t. Col. Edythe P. Turner,
in charge of nurses at Fitzsim-
mons Army Hospital, for half
an hours talk.
His Friday schedule included
a farewell individual meeting
with Secretary of the Interior
Mckay, presenting a medal for
bravery to an Atlanta, Ga, girl
who had rescued her mother
from a flaming airplane wreck
posing for a picture with the
committee for the White House
Conference on Education as he
receives its report and receiving
a courtesy call from Masayuki
TAM, new japanese Ambassador.
Receives Baseball Pass
And yesterday Mr.. Eisenhower
received an American League
season baseball pass from Calvin
Griffith, president Of the Wash
ington club. He also received the
credentials of the new Liberian
Ambassador. George A. Padmore.
resuming a traditional prac tice
that had been suspended since
his heart attack.
None of these activities could
be claSsed as strictly essential
duties of the presidency. But
they indicate the type of import
ant extra -curricular activity that
Mr.. Eisenhower expects to do
more and more of during the
coming months.
Mr.. Eisenhower is going slow
est, t seems. in taking up again
the strictly social side OF tradi-
tional life III the White House
His associates believe any re-
newal of the social season" that
might be undertaken next fall
would be much more limited than
in the past.
Appears Thriving
Mr.. Eisenhower seems to be
thriving on his increased work
load Those who saw him last
week were impressed with his
zest and apparently robust health
He is becoming we'll adjusted,
his aides say. to the regime laid
down by his doctors that includes
a midday rest period as well
as regular exercise.
The President plans to fly to
Augusta. Ga, tomorrow for his
annual spring golfing vacation
at the Augusta National Golf
Club.

tiles that were suspended after
his heart attack last Septem-

raphers assigned to the White
House were kept busy covering
activities about as varied as Mr..
Eisenhower ever undertook be-
fore his illness.
On Friday alone. news photog-
raphers went into the President S
Office on three separate occa-
sions to record events outside
the scope of his strictly consti-
tutional duties. This would have
been q heavier than average day
for such happenings even in pre-
heart attack times.
Ceremonies on Schedule
And every day last week Mr.
Eisenhower had on his schedule
one or more engagements Of the
ceremonial or not-essential-busi-
ness type that were dropped
during his recuperation.
All this was in addition to the
business of running the Govern
ment in which the President was
as active as ever in paper
work. meetings with his cabinet
and National Security Council
and individual conferences with
key officials.
When Mr.. Eisenhower an
nounced on February 20 his
willingness to run for a second
term, he emphasized that he was
confident that he could carry or
indefinitely all Of the important
duties Of the Presidency"
But he said then that he
must eliminate many of the
less important social and cere-
monial activities" reducing the
number of public speeches, office
appointments with individuals
and groups. ceremonial dinners
receptions and such things in
which he might take part.
What is behind the current
big step-up in such activities and
what does 1t signify for the
future?
Is the Presidents increased
activity deliberately designed tc
offset Democratic charges that
he is seeking reelection as q

Democratic charges. although
they concede the President Is

These associates say a gradual

strength.
This may go so far as to bring
a limited resumption of the

President Tolls
On 7 Messages

Star STAFF Correspondent

KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. s.
President Eisenhower put into
final shape today the budget
message he will send to Congress
on January Is as we'll as the
State-of -Lhe-Un message in
which he will outline his pro-
gram for the new year on Thurs
day.
Key advisers who worked with
the President on the budget
message. which is expected to
call for Federal expenditures Of
about $63 billion in the 1857
fiscal year starting next July /,
refused to discuss the estimates
or to say definitely whether it
would be in balance.
A balanced budget with sur
plus in sight holds the key to a
possible tax cut so far as admin
istration leaders are concerned.
They have been talking hope
fully of a balanced budget by
June 30. but have expressed
opposition to a tax cut until
revenues are in sight to make up
for it.

Budget Director Rowland
Hughes, one of those working
with Mr.. Eisenhower today,

hopes and desires" for a

lion in grants each year for three
years.
The House bill would author
ize $500 million in grants each
year for three years, 1t also
would provide for several meth
DDS of Federal loans or Federal
Government authority to buy
local school bonds. Such grants,
according to estimates at the
time, would be in the neighbour
hood of SIS billion.
The House bill also contains
a prevailing wage" section
whereby workers on school con-
struction projects would have to
receive the prevailing wage rates
in their respective communities.
Presidents Plan Awaited
President Eisenhower's state
of-the- Union message on Thurs
day is expected to outline the
administrators improved and
expanded" program of Federal
aid to schools. At the same time
Congress will receive a proposed
bill drafted mainly by experts at
the Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare and in the
Budget Bureau.
This bill presumably would be
referred to the House Education
and Labor Committee. 1t never
thelesS would present the basis
for a fairly clear-cut controversy
between school aid views of the
administration and of the House
Democrats.
Even If the House acts on a
school aid bill in the next few
weeks. the matter probably
would take a much longer time
in the Senate. At the last ses-
sion no school aid bill was re-
ported out, although the Sem
ate Education and Public We'll
fare Committee held several
hearings on conflicting bills.
Still another factor that might
delay action in the Senate and
probably revive a bitter fight
in the House is the intended
attempt to amend the bill by
banning aid to States practicing
racial segregation. Representa-
tive Powell, Democrat of New
York, has announced that he
will offer that amendment when
the bill reaches tia House floor.
He moved to amend the bill in
committee last summer but wal

84th Congress Opens
New Session Quietly
GIobuI Scene
Isn't Bright,
Ruyburn Says
By ]. A. OLEARY

The second session of the 84th
Congress got of to a quiet,
routine start today, with little
evidence of the political battles
expected to develop later in this
election year.
The Senate recessed after IL
minutes. The House remained
in session longer to receive some
committee reports. Neither
house will meet again until
Thursday. when President Eisen-
hower's State of the Union mes
sage will be read by the clerks in
both houses. 1t may be week
or 10 days before either branch
tackles a major bill.
Speaker Rayburn told a press
conference he is not very happy
about foreign policy at this time.
He said the general situation in
the world is not good from the
standpoint of the outlook for
peace. Asked to elaborate, the
Speaker replied that everyone
can read what the Russians
have been saying recently.
Tax Relief Uncertain
The Speaker said also he is
no more confident than he was
a few weeks ago that tax relief
for individuals will be possible at
this session. unless the reduce
tons are made up from other
revenue sources.
He indicated that the four
year program of Federal aid to
school construction may be the
first big issue to reach the House
floor.
The highlight of the brief
Senate meeting was the return
to active duty Of Majority Lead
err johnson of Texas, who suf-
fered a heart attack last July.
Before any business VISA trans
acted, Vice President Nixon well
coined the Democratic leader
back and said ne felt sure he
spoke for everyone in saying he
was most happy to see the Sen
ator from Texas back at his
desk"
Senator johnson replied by
thanking his friends on both
sides of the political aisle for the
affection they expressed during
the dark days"
Surrounded by Newsmen
A few minutes before the ses-
sion convened. Senator johnson
was surrounded in the chamber
I by more than a score of report
ers and engaged in some quick
repartee with them.
/ When a reporter inquired if
the Democrats would have their
own "state-of-the- Union" mes
sage to give out after they read
the Eisenhower message, Senator
johnson replied:
I'VE will probably have that
(state- of the Union message)
next year"
The Democratic leader smiled,
but made no answer when asked
who he thought would deliver
1T next year.
! In the invocation which
opened the session the Senate
chaplain, the Rev. DR.. Frederick
Brown Harris, prayed that the
members would speak with eau
ton and humility" because their
words are heard around the
earth.
The only business transacted
in either branch today was the
passage of routine resolutions
notifying the President that
Congress has assembled and fix
ing noon as the daily meeting
time.
The House swore in one new
member, Representative John D.
