First Occasion

In his six and one-half years in
the White House Mr.. Eisenhower
had never held such background
meeting with newsmen-until last
Monday night. His question-and-
answer sessions with the press
had been confined to open news
conferences. Anything the Presi-
dent had to say at such White
House social functions as his stag
dinners was off-the-record and
could not be used in any way by
any newsmen present.
At Mondays dinner the ground
rules were those customarily laid
down by Washington VIP's for
such backgrounding sessions. The
source could not be named but
what he had to say could be used
without direct quotation. Thus
detailed stories in Tuesdays pa
pers presented Mr.. Eisenhower
views on a wide variety of subjects
with the explanation that they
had been made known on "excel-
lent authority"
Under questioning at his reg
ular news conference Wednesday
Mr.. Eisenhower confirmed that he
was, indeed, the excellent au-
thority" for the stories.
During three hours of wide
ranging conversation with his ID
guests Monday night during and
after dinner, the President COW
cred these main points on the
domestic front, along with his
discussion of the Soviet threat
and a possible Big Four meeting:
TAXES-He has abandoned his
earlier hopes for tax reduction
during his remaining 10 months
in office. He feels any tax cuts
are out of the question until sub
stantial payments-in the range
of So to SIS billion year-have
been made for a year or two to-
ward reducing the national debt.
He also feels, however, that it
would be mistake to increase
taxes because public resentment
could lead to widespread fouting
of tax laws.
POLITICS.He would support
either Vice President Nixon or
New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
as the G. o. P.'s 1860 presidential
candidate. They are among at
least 10 young and able Republi-
cans he would be happy to have
succeed nm in Office. He is de-
termine1. however, not to express
any preference for Mr.. Nixon or
Mr.. Rockefeller-or any of the
others. He is optimistic about
chances of Republicans electing
a President in 1860 but comedies
little hope of the G. o. P. regain
ing control of Congress. He feels
he has considerable power to block
the nomination of any Republican
whom he believes would not make
a good President.
STEEL STRIKE-He is pre-
pared to use the Taft-Hartley
Act to force resumption of steel
production for an 80-day cooling
of" period if a prolonged strike
reduces steel stockpiles to the
point where national security is
mperiled. He doesn't feel such
coollng-off period would do much
good since both sides had plenty
OF time to cool off before the
strike began. He is anxious to
avoid doing or saying anything
that might be interpreted as ia
voring one side or the other,
BUDGET-He is growingly con-

retreating to the mountains with
heavy losses. After two years of
guerrilla operations, Mr. Castro
was able to launch a full scale
invasion of western Cuba late last
year, and in January, Gen. Batista
fled to the Dominican Republic.
After years of rigid Dictator
ship, Cuba welcomed a change.

Cardinal Attacks
Khrushchev Visit

BOSTON, Aug. 7 (AP).- In
viting Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev to the United
States 'is like opening our
frontiers to the enemy in a
military war;" Richard Car
dinal Cushing said last night.
The Catholic Archbishop of
Boston, in a statement in the
archdiocesan newspaper The
Pilot, called Mr.. Khrushchev
a dangerous man dedicated to
a goddess theology leading to
slavery"
whoever thinks that we can
influence Khrushchev merely
by showing him how our de-
mocracy functions and how
we'll off we are has no concep-
ton Of the passionate, hate
filled contempt for our way
of living which possesses Khru-
shchev g. Company. We can
not change him. -"

Denied by Church
Loren, Ponti Ties

ROME, Aug. Z (AP).-A Ro-
man Catholic tribunal has re-
fused to clear the way for
Italian Movie Director Carlo
Ponti and Actress Sophia Loren
to legalize their marriage in
Italy.
A Church matrimonial court
rejected a request for an annul-
ment brought by Mr.. Points
first wife earlier this year. The
director obtained a Mexican di-
vorce in August, 1857, and he
and the actress married a
month later by proxy in Mexico.
Mr.. Ponti and his first wife
were married in a Catholic
ceremony in 1949. Divorce is
not recognized in Italy, and
only a Church annulment can
end the marriage.

Some 200 guests of the Coco

Many houses in Lihue, on the

Uprooted trees and debris
also blocked highways in many
other parts of the island.
There was no accurate count

After illustrating Oppressive
practices of coercion" in the
fields Of secondary boycotts and

clared: II want that sort Of

But Mr.. Meany maintained
boycotting and organizational
picketing are Legitimate" and
honorable" in the absence of
abuse.
A union imposes a secondary
boycott to exert pressure on an
employer by coercing suppos-
eddy neutral companies not to
deal with him. Unions picket
companies to organize en-
ployes, sometimes when the
employees have not indicated
they want to Join.

President Sees
Hawaii sChief

Gov. William F. Quinn of
Hawaii discussed with Presi-
dent Eisenhower today ar
rangements for Hawaii's for
NAL admission into the Union
as the 50th State.
Gov. Quinn told newsmen
later that no definite date has
yet been set for the President
to sign the statehood procla-
nation. He said he hoped 1t
might be signed on either Au-
gust IA or August 81, so that
the new States Legislature,
which must meet 10 days after
the proclamation, could con-
vene on a Monday.
The Governor said he told
the President that the official
certification of Hawaii's vote
for statehood probably would
reach Washington today, al
though it might be delayed be-
cause Of the hurricane in
Hawaii last night.
Gov. Quinn said he had in
vited the President to at
tend ceremonies celebrating
Hawaii's statehood some time
in November, but Mr.. Eisen-
hover said his time during the
latter part of the year is very
much filled up with official
obligations. The Governor said
he had no basis to hope that
the President could visit Hawaii
this year.

Rock N Roll Dancing
Seen Reducing Crime

LONDON, Aug. Z (AP).-A
British medical journal says
that rock n roll dancing re-
duces crime.
Dancing" said the Medical
Press affords a relatively
harmless way of getting rid
of surplus energy.
BY so doing, dancing might
be said to conduce to lawful
and respectable behavior rather
than the reverse.
Less COshing

jacking) and knitting as a rule,
unless gang rivalry and the
tensions it connotes intervene

can possibly behave like this

Quotes DR.. MeerloO
The magazine did not explain
how it reached its conclusions,
but it quoted from DR.. Joost
Meerloo. a Dutch psychiatrist.
Mr.. Meerloo said that a child
lives in a totally rhythmic
world even before it is born.
It hears its mothers heart
beating at 80 to the minute in
a syncopating two-to-one har-
mony with its own 100 to the
minute.
The Dutchman said he COM
pared the rhythmic craze which
has swept the ranks of young
people with other epidemics of
dancing in the history of
Europe.
The black death, he said. was
followed by a historic epidemic
of so-called st. Vitus Dance.
Dancing epidemics were also
associated with the CrusadeS.
The magazine concluded by
saying that elders should not be
surprised that life in the young
should sometimes show itself
to be over susceptible to rhyth-
mical stimulations, adding:
1T does not at all imply that
they are beyond redemption"

PRESIDENT said any true reform
law should enforce the rights Of
union members. The Landrum-
Grimm bill provides for en-
forcement Of members rights
through civil suits and crimi-
nal penalties. while the Elliott
bill provides only for civil en-
forcement In this field. The
Shelley bill also has a bill Of
rights similar to that In the
Elliott bill.
Calling for mobilization Of
public opinion. Mr.. Eisenhower
expressed hope that Congress
will be fully responsive to an
overwhelming national de-
mand."
More bluntly, Mr.. Meany

gresham know Immediately
that you favor the Shelley BILL"
He called the Landrum-
Griffin bill "a blunderbuss
that would infiict grievous
harm on all unions" instead Of
merely cracking down on cor
ruption. The Shelley bill, he
said, sis anti-racketeeer, not
anti-labor."
Blasts Labor Foes

wants to clean up union cor
ruption. Mr.. Meany charged
that there are forces at work
whose only real purpose is to

cleaning. He noted that the
labor federation has expelled
the Teamsters and other
unions, has adopted a code of
ethical practices and has pro-
posed Federal reform legisla-
ton.
While criticizing the Elliott
bill, Mr.. Meany aimed his
heaviest fire at the Landrum-
Griffin bill.
He contended these measures
would encourage harassinent Of

and prohibit unions from ad-
