Time had run out on Lewis

President Eisenhower wrote

thought about the Senate's re-

He then called newsmen into
his ofnce today to read it 10
them. His ONCE had been

At 9:45 am, White House
Press Secretary James c.
Hagerty told newsmen that the
President would like TO read a
statement about the Strauss
rejection IF you want It,"
Talking with Strauss
Mr.. Eisenhower was con-
ferring with Mr.. Strauss at
the time. They moved into an
adjoining small office while
television newsreel cameramen
set UP their equipment In the
oval presidential Office.
A big sheet of tan canvas
was spread on the floor to pro-
tect the green rug. Four. news
reel cameras were set up facing
the Presidents desk. Tech
nicians hurriedly moved in
sound recording equipment and
three big fioodlights.
Reporters lined UP along the
walls Of the office. Mr.. Hagerty
said they could sit down If they
wanted to. Some Sat on a red
sofa against the wall to the
right Of the Presidents desk,
while others took chairs fan
ming out on both sides.
At the request of cameramen,
Miss Mary Meade. one of Mr..
Hagerty's secretaries, sat down
gingerly in the Presidents chair
and pulled 1t UP to the desk so
the cameramen would accur-
ately focus their lenses.

There were two microphones
on the desk.
When all was ready. the
President walked in with Mr.,
Hagerty and sat down at his
desk.
Then he said that he had
just talked to Mr.. Strauss
and wanted to read a state
ment. He read from three
letter%size sheets of white paper
on which he had scrawled his
thoughts in heavy black ink.
When he had finished his

walked out Of the office.
This was the second time

President Eisenhower said
today that the American people
"are the losers" in the Sem
ate's refusal to confirm Lewis
l.. Strauss as Secretary Of
Commerce.
The Senate rejected the
Presidents nomination Of the
controversial Mr.. Strauss, 40 to
46. in a dramatic vote shortly
after midnight.
The President conferred at
the White House with Mr..
Strauss this morning and then
called newsmen into his ONCE.
There, grim-faced, he read
q handwritten statement de-
ploring what he called the "sad
episode. He said he Is losing

Mr.. Strauss told reporters as
he left the White House that

with no rancor."
Early Departure Indicated
He indicated that he expects
to leave the Commerce Depart
ment almost Immediately. He
has been serving as Secretary
under a recess appointment
since last November Is.
By the close Senate vote, Mr..
Strauss became the eighth
presidential cabinet appointee
ever to be turned down by the
Senate.
The action represented a
sharp defeat for President
Eisenhower. who had commit
ted his prestige and political
influence IN Mr.. Strauss behalf.
and a victory for Senate Demo.
