States on the spot and try to
win a political advantage"
In the House, Chairman
Rains, Democrat Of Alabama,
of the Housing Subcommittee,
said he would attempt to have
the veto overridden. But most
House leaders were waiting to
see what action the Senate
might take.
The veto came UP at this
mornings presidential news
conference when a reporter
suggested that Mr.. Eisen-
hover was dominating the
Congressional program, where
as there had been predictions
that the Democratic congress
would "wag the White House. "
Doesn't Admit Implications
The President replied he
doesn't admit for a second all
of the allegations implied in the
question. He said he is having
a very busy, hard time because
too many people are not look
ing at the problems Of the day
in the light of what is good
for the country.
There is no validity, Mr..
Eisenhower said, in the charge
that he is conducting govern
ment-by-veto. He said he is
part of the legislative process
and as a man elected by all
the people he has a special re-
sponsibility to look out for the
interests of the country.
In response to other questions
Mr.. Eisenhower said that be-
cause he cannot run again, he
above all others should be in
terested in the public good.

Premier Khrushchev might be
invited to visit the United
States.
This is something he would
never rule out as a possibility,
Mr.. Eisenhower said. but if Sc
rious negotiations were to be
undertaken this would be a
matter to be studied very thor
oughly.
The visiting Soviet Deputy
Premier. Frol R. Kozlov, pre-
sented nothing new in his White
House conference last week, Mr..
Eisenhower said.
Friendship Recognized
Both he and Mr.. Kozlov rec
ognized the basic friendship be-
tween the Russian and Ameri-
can peoples. the President said.
Mr.. Eisenhower observed that
there ought to be some way of
exploiting the natural affinity"
between the two peoples.
The President indirectly re-
buked Detroit Mayor Louis c.
Miriam for refusing to meet
Mr.. Kozlov. He said American
citizens are accustomed to
paying visiting officials the
Difference and department ex-
pected from civilized people.
II don't think this is neces-
sarily showing approval" he
added.
He admitted the possibility
that captive peoples in Eastern
Europe might lose heart at the
sight of free America embrace
ing the Soviet leadership which
has enslaved them.
This is one of the things
we have to consider when We
take up these visits back and
FORTH" Mr.. Eisenhower de-
clared adding later, I'VE must
be very careful"
Are We Outplanned?
Mr.. Eisenhower was asked if
he thought the Russians might
be "outplanning" the United
States in their effort to over
take this country in several
fields.
He replied that he thinks this
country is doing too much of
its thinking on just a 24-hour
basis. That makes no sense,
he added, emphasizing that
I'VE must look ahead"
He said that was why he
was working so hard to set up
a special committee to recon-
mend long-term national goals
as a guide for Government
action. He said appointment
of the committee, which he
first talked about in his state
of the Union message to Con-
greSs in january, was being
delayed because of much work
involved in getting it organized
and privately financed. He said
he was determined that the
work should be financed pri-
vately and not by the Gov
eminent.
