Mr.. Eisenhower will tell Congress
on Thursday what else he wants in
the way of legislation this year. His
state-of-the-U Union message that
day is expected to ask for most of
what ne did not receive from Con-
gress last year. including:
. Federal aid for school construc-
ton.
. Amendments to the Taft Hartley
law.
. No tax cuts and another extern
sion beyond the April l expiration
date of excise and corporation taxes
at their current levels of SO per cent.
. Liberalized immigration legisla-
ton.
. Aid for small business.
. Postal rate increases.
. Home rule for the District Of
Columbia.
. Statehood for Hawaii and per-
haps Alaska.

renewed attempt to exempt indie

from Federal utility rate control.
Senator John w. Bricker, Repub-
lican Of Ohio, will be back with his
never-say-die proposal for a con-
stitutional amendment limiting the
Presidents treaty making powers.
From farm State members will
come suggestions for revising agri-
cultural legislation. particularly that
part which includes the soil bank.
There also may be some attempt in
the Senate to tighten and broaden

spending.

How 1t Came Out

The first inkling Of the admin
istration's intentions was leaked"
to the press before last week end.
Although the plan itself is attrib-
uted to Mr. Eisenhower, its chief
architect, as The Times correspond
ent implied. was reliably reported
to be Mr.. Dulles.
On Tuesday, the President con-
ferred at the White House with
congressional leaders of both
parties. He outlined his program
to them. and asked their support.
Reaction among the lawmakers
was described as cool and gloomy.
Grave questions were asked, and
both Senate Majority Leader Lyn-
don johnson and House Speaker
Sam Rayburn told newsmen after
the meeting that the program re-
quested by the President was so
fraught with import that it would,
In effect. have to be a joint execu-
tive-legislative project. with mas
sive" congressional support.
The preceding day Monday Mr..
Dulles had met with U. N. Secretary
General Dag Hammarskiold for two
hours in New York. His purpose,
he told newsmen. was to get the
U. N. point of view on the Middle
East proposal before Mr.. Eisen-
hover met with the leaders Of
Congress.
On Wednesday Mr.. Dulles Jour-
neyed to the Capitol and laid the
new policy before key members Of
both House and Senate. He took
with him draft Of a proposed
resolution. setting forth the admin
tstration's intentions toward the
Middle East.
The Secretary's reception. some
Of the lawmakers present reported,
was troubled and unenthusiastic.
But there was little doubt that the
Presidents proposal would be &C
cepted.
