President on Speeches
BY JOHN SCALI
Associated Press staH Writer

WITH EISENHOWER IN
THE MEDITERRANEAN, Dec.
16.-One of the busiest men
on President Eisenhower's
Swift-paced goodwill tour is
a distinguished looking college
president.
He is Kevin McCann, who is
doubling as Mr.. Eisenhower's
speech writer. He has been
writing most Of the time since
the presidential party left
Washington December 8.
The gray-haired Mr.. Nc
Cam, amiable and apparently
tireless, is president of De-
If1ance College at Defiance,
Ohio. He served on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's staff during World
War II and afterward; for a
while was a full-time member
Of the White House staff, and
now fills special assignments
whenever the President needs
him.
Mr.. Eisenhower decided a
need had arisen when he ar
ranged to make this l9-day,
three-continent trip with a
schedule calling for more than
80 public speeches.
MOOs Preparing Message
Malcolm Moos, the full-time
White House speech writer,
also is along on the tour, but
his assignment is to help pre-
pare the state-o9-the- Union
message the President will de-
liver before a Joint session of
Congress early next month.
Mr.. Eisenhower has been
spending time with Mr.. Moos
on that document whenever
he gets a chance.
Mr.. McCann, turning out the
tour speeches hand over fist,
probably has had as little rest
as anyone in the Presidents
travelling party. But he still
manages to smile. perhaps be-
cause at this point he is getting
a little rest.
When the President boarded
the cruiser Des Moines in
Athens yesterday, Mr.. McCann
flew on to Paris to await TMr.
, Eisenhower's arrival there Fri
day for the Western summit
conference.
The groundwork for a few
of the Presidents m a or

before he left Washington. For

Mr.. McCann, author of an

for him to prepare his speeches.
They sit down together
whenever the President can
spare. the time. Mr.. Eisen-
hover outlines what he wants
to say. Mr.. Mccain offers
suggestions, then gets to work.
There frequently are several
drafts of major speeches. The
President makes notes in the
margins or discusses changes
and additions. Then Mr.. Nc
Cam goes back to work.
Transcripts Provided
Mr., McCann turns out the
brief talks the President makes
on arrival and departure with
out consulting Mr.. Eisenhower.

Just before delivering.
When there is time, copies
OF all speeches are distributed
to newsmen in advance. When
Mr.. Eisenhower speaks from
notes, a transcript is provided
later.
Most of Mr.. Eisenhower's
speeches have been made in
English only. particularly in
countries where that language
is widely understood and used.
In some cases-such as the
address at a civic reception
in India ana his speech to
Greece'S Parliament - the
speeches are translated as the
President talks. Mr.. Eisen-
hover reads a paragraph or
two, pauses for the translation,

The AFL-CIO is erecting q
fine-mesh screen to keep Com
munist agitators out of its I'M
employment rally at the Ma
tional Guard Armory April 8.
Delegates to the big rally
must show signed and counter
signed credentials. Even news
paper reporters will need spe-
cial generalization.
There are reports that the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
will keep an eye on the con-
ference on unemployment" for
signs Of Communist infiltration.
AFL-CIO leaders are taking
extraordinary precautions be-
cause the Communists have
given fair warning that they
intend to exploit the rally. The
party's newspaper, The Work.
er has been playing up the con-
ference in a big way, i'm
plying that it is a Communist
shindig.
Unions in the AFL-CIO fought
hard to kick out the Commun-
lists, and are in no mood to let
the Reds pervert the purpose of
the unemployment conference.
The AFL-CIO executive coun-
Gil called the conference Of
about $500 unionists to pres
sure Congress and the Eisen-
hover administration into &C
ton against unemployment.
Labor leaders fear any tinge
OF class warfare would backfire
against their legislative pro-
gram.
National headquarters of the
AFL-CIO has assigned delegate
quotas to its member unions
which in turn will assign quotas
among Is cities. including
Washington.
Local unions are submitting
the names Of their delegates to
AFL-CIO central labor bodies
in their cities. These city units
like Washington's Central
Labor Council - are issuing
fancy credentials in duplicate.
Regular press credentials
will not get a newspaper re-
porter into the rally. Labor
officials fear Communist might
come up with phony press
cards. So reporters must apply
to the AFL-CIO for a special
card and a big button to wear.
Duplicate cards are kept on file.
Reporters. unlike delegates,
will be free to come and 60 by
flashing their special cards.
About half the $500 dele
gates will be unemployed union
members and the other half
will be union officials, accord
ing to AFL-CIO estimates.
About 900 of the officials will
stay over for an April Q legis-
ltfive conference.

Pacific Fish Industry

SEATTLE. Mar. 20 (AP).-
The rapid buildup Of Russian
fisheries, emphasized by a
trawler excursion near Alaska,
tossed another long-range
problem today into the touchy
and complicated North Pacific
fishing situation.
The presence Of the Soviet
fleet Of around SO trawlers and
other craft brought expressions
OF surprise and alarm from
several quarters.
They echoed the violent OBJ
jections heard more than 20
years ago when the Japanese
first began to exploit fishing
grounds on the eastern side Of
the North Pacific.
Fisheries experts said today
they weren't surprised at ar
rival Of the Russians. who have
out-paced all other nations in
recent years in production Of
ground fish such as cod, sole
and paddock. They counseled
calm appraisal, with an eye to
future consequences.

Mr. Alverson emphasized
that he expressed personal

Neither the United States

nations involved in the North

taken ground fish in that
area, at least in recent years
And the Russians are in in

But the long-range implica-

bear watching. The Russian
vessels now in the Boring Sea
apparently aren't suited for

shchev dragged out the ole
speech to impress upon the
Western powers that the Soviet
Union was not ready to talk
unification at the prospective

Unification Questioned
Speaking then about German
unification, the Soviet Premier
asked:
Can the peoples Of the world
exist without the reuni1ication
Of the German states? They
can. and not badly.
Can the Germans live with
out reunification? They can
and quite well.
Consequently this question
though important. Is neverthe-

In the same speech. Mr.,
Khrushchev agreed - with re-
luctance--to a foreign minis
tiers conference with the West
starting May IL as q forerun-
ner to a summit meeting.
Diplomats here took the view
that this speech may set the
tone for the Soviet reply to the
Western notes this week pro-
posing the foreign ministers
meet in Geneva.
There was a likelihood that
the summit talks-if held
would be in Geneva, too.

the conference would be held in
