which Castro formally repudiates

the other anti Batista organizations

role than to wait for the calling

them, as political parties, when

Eisenhower Declares U. s. Wants To Take Whole Mid East Problem Before Special Session of General Assembly

WASHINGTON, tR Presi- dent Eisenhower said today the United States wants to discuss the whole sweep of Mideast prob lens and their causes at the pro- posed special session of the Uni ted Nations General Assembly.
 The President told news con- ference it would not be practi- cal to restrict debate to. just the problems of the little country of Lebanon.
 In reply to a question, Eisen- hover said he has no present plans to attend the extraordinary JUN. meeting.
 But he added that he would at- tend if he should find it neces- sary or desirable.
 It was Eisenhower's first news conference since July 2-almost two weeks before US. troops moved into Lebanon, and most of the questions concerned the Mid east crisis.
 Among specific matters touched on:
 Troops-Asked when and un- der what conditions the United States would pull it's 15,000 troops out of Lebanon, Eisenhower re- piled withdrawal will come whenever the Lebanese govern ment says it feels the situation is in hand, and there no longer is threat of indirect aggression.
 Summit-As to the possibility of an eventual summit conference, Eisenhower said you can't rule out all possibility of one because of the Russian rejection of such a meeting in the Security Council.
 The President said that if the United States ever can see any thing constructive resulting from a heads of government meeting, he would be prepared to attend.

Teamster Boss Hoffa Questioned By Investigators About Laundry Payoffs

against the committee that Hoffa was being subjected to what he called legislative trial.
 And Hoffa jauntily took sharp issue with any senator who in- terrogated him.
 Finally, he got into a sharp argument with chairman John Me Clellan as to whether union lead CTS have too much power. On several occasions, he broke into McClellan's conversation.
 Mcclellan said in a quiet but ominous voice: 'sWhen I talk, you're going to listen and I want you to get that straight"
 That didn't slow up Hoffa. He kept on, arguing vigorously.
 Tn advance of today's hearing, the committee said Hoffa would be asked to explain his relations with Teamster official Frank Kierdorf, victim of an alleged fire torture in Michigan.
 Kierdorf, 56, was business agent for a Teamsters local at Flint, Mich, and was a Fifth Amendment witness before the committee last November. He was kidnapped from his Flint home Sunday night, doused with an inflammable liquid and set afire by two unknown assailants, he told police officials. The of ficers since have raised questions about that story.

 Health-Edward T. Pollard of the Washington Post called Eisen- hower's attention to speculation in English newspapers that the Presidents health is not good.
 Pollard told Eisenhower you look pretty good to me- and asked how he was feeling.
 The President smiled and thanked Pollard. He said the writers of the stories had not consulted him or his doctors.
 Wage-Price - Eisenhower ap- pealed once more to both labor and business to halt the wage price spiral. He had been asked whether he has any plans to con- trol imitation in the light of re- cent steel price increases and the prospect for increasing federal budget deficits.
 The President said labor, busi- ness and the government all should be concerned about that situation and that labor should be most concerned.
