President Loys Violence to Reds
New Phimrn Cabinet Acts to Stem Army Revolt in Algeria
An Editorial

Vice President and Mrs. Nixon are due back
in Washington at approximately II am. tomor-
row. Representing the Government Of the
United States, they have been subjected to
truly shocking ordeals on their goodwill"
mission to Latin America, especially in Peru
and Venezuela.
1t would be fine thing, we believe, If the
people of the Nations Capital were to pay trib-
ute to Mr.. and Mrs Nixon for the admirable
manner in which they have handled themselves
under the most trying circumstances. This
has nothing to do with partisanship or domestic
politics. The tribute should be paid to Mr..
and Mrs Nixon in their roles as the representa-
tives of all Americans.
We hope that President Eisenhower will
arrange an appropriate reception for the Nixon
party at the airport, and that he will release
all Government workers to greet Mr.. and Mrs.
Nixon on their journey into the city. We have
done as much in the past for visiting
dignitarieS from Latin America. Under the
circumstances, we ought not to do less for our
own Vice President.

President Eisenhower today
asked Congress for legislation
that would enable the Federal
Government to turn back to
the States some of the func-
tions it has been carrying
along with grants.
The proposals. outlined in a
letter to House Speaker Ray
burn, would:
/. Discontinue Federal grants
for vocational education.
2. Discontinue grants for
construction of waste treat
ment facilities.
8. Reduce the Federal 10 per
cent tax on local telephone
service to 6 per cent Ito assist
the States in assuming financial
responsibility for those pro-
grams"
James C. Hagerty, White
House press Secretary, said the
reduction in telephone taxes
would represent a drop in
Federal revenue Of about $3.50
million a year.

Der, and a similar ruling is
in sight for Norfolk schools.
Nearby Arlington also is under
integration orders.
Mr.. Eisenhower, commenting
on the integration issue at his
news conference, said he de-
plored the use of troops any,
where to get American citizens
to obey court orders. But he
emphasized that no one in the
room would be secure in his
basic rights if there should be
successful defiance Of court
orders.
No GestapO Desired
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked
what the administration was
doing in advance to prevent a
recurrence of the Little Rock"
situation in Virginia and else
where.
He said he didn't think the
people wanted a Gestapo
"going around trying to worm
out what their evil intentions
may be-"
He added that you do what
you can"
A reporter noted that Gov.
Leroy Collins of Florida had
said segregation in that State
would continue. He wanted to
know if "the Little Rock pat
tern" would be followed in
other States.
Asked by the President what
pattern he referred to, the re-
porter said, sending troops. "
Troop Order Explained
"For what?" the President
asked. When the reply was. to
enforce the court orders, the
President emphasized that was
the point of the use Of troops
and not to enforce segregation.
He said the troops we're ordered
because there had been mob
interference with the execution
of the court order and Gov.

Orval E. Faubus would not in
tervene to uphold the court.
While, the President was in a
sober mood, there was no out
ward display of irritation,
which has marked some recent
meetings with the press. He
even maintained a solemn good
humor when a reporter in
quired if he would go to Gettys-
burg. Pa. his legal residence,
to vote in PennSylvania's Re-
publican primary next Tues
day, and for whom he would
vote as the nominee for Gov
ernor.
The reporter asked the latter
part Of the question, the Presi-
dent suggested, just to get a
laugh.
He said he hoped to be able
to go to Gettysburg to cast his
vote. But then he underscored
the many situations with which
he is confronted by saying:
I'VE are on a day-by-day
basis here"

The new regimes main aim
is to put down the nationalist

up in Paris.

Mob Attacks

AS q Precoution,
He Tells Press
BY GARNETT d. HoRNER
star stan Writer


President Eisenhower said
today that the attacks on Vice
President Nixon in South
America looked like part Of a
Communist plan to exploit un-
rest around the world.
He told a news conference
that the causes for resentment
against the United States being
exploited by the Communists
were so complex that no one
thing could take the blame.
The President highly praised
Mr.. Nixon's calmness, courage
and fortitude in the face Of
rock-throwing and splitting
rioters in Caracas, Venezuela,
yesterday. and in Lima, Peru, q
few days ago.
FavOrs Big welcome
He said he would like person.
ally to welcome Mr.. and Mrs.
Nixon at the airport on their
return to Washington tomorrow
if he can arrange it, and would
be "all in favor" of letting Gov
ernment workers of for As min
utes or an hour to join in the
welcome if this proves feasible.
Mr.. Eisenhower's news con-
ference remarks came soon after
he had talked personally by
telephone with the Vice Presi-
dent in the American Embassy
residence at Caracas.
Press Secretary James c.
Hagerty said the President
called Mr.. Nixon primarily to
find out how he and Mrs. Nixon
were. He reported the Vice
President said neither had been
hurt in yesterdays rioting. Mr..
Nixon expected to keep a series
Of appointments in the En-
bassy today.
Silent on Lebanon, Algeria
At the start of his news con-
ference, the President ruled out
any specific discussion of what
he called delicate situations"
in Lebanon and Algeria where
anti-American violence has
f1ared in the last few days.
He said the Lebanon and Al
gerian situations could we'll be
very grave" as they develop
and that he is watching them
closely. When emotions are so
stirred as they are in those
areas, he said he felt it would
be best for him to say nothing
about developments there.
Mr.. Eisenhower sought to
play down the significance Of
his order sending 1000 Ameri-
can Marines and paratroopers
flying to bases in Cuba and
Puerto Rico late yesterday. The
move has stirred criticism
among some Democrats in Con-
tgress.
He said dispatching the
