Democratic majority can keep
some of their promises if they
really want to-"
Senator johnson told re-
porters the President is now
pressing for action on bills on
a good many subjects he has
either vetoed or threatened to
veto in the past.
He said that, obviously, all
'of these far-reaching measures
cannot be acted upon "impetu-
ouSly" in three OF four weeks.
Il hope" said the Senator,
that the Republicans who will
be campaigning this year will
consider all of these items care
fully and that those who will
return in January will be ready
to help the Democrats enact the
necessary programs"
Sees Productive Session
Senator johnson predicted a
buSineSS-like and constructive
session to clean up work Con-
gress left pending July 3 80
that the two parties can go
home before the voters and give
the American people an oppor-
tunity to determine what kind
of leadership the Nation needs
in the next four years"
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, called the PreSi-
dents message "a concise sum-
mary of what (Congres)
should do to meet increased
Communist turbulence in the
world, and to provide for press
ing domestic needs"

The Texan. who is Senator
Kennedy'S running mate on
the Democratic ticket, also as
serted that the steps Mr.. Eli
senhower said he is now TAX
ing to speed up national de-
fense are possible only because
the Democratic Congress ap-
propriated over the Presidents S
protests more money than he
asked for.
Senator Kennedy issued a
brief statement citing what he
regarded as election-year over
tones of the Presidents mes
sage. But the Democratic presi-
dental candidate promised
Democratic cooperation if "at
least one-half" of the Repub-
lican members of Congress sup
port the Presidents requests.
"Action Badly Needed"
The President has outlined
once again some of the gen.
eral areas in which executive
and legislative action have been
badly needed" Senator Ken
nedy said.
IF he can now assure us
that a responsible program to
meet those needs will start
receiving the support of at
least one half of the Republi-
can members of Congress
Senator johnson and car
assure him that those needs will
be met in every possible way
that time permits.
"A presidential message call
ing for action on bills previously
vetoed and complaining about
spending after a broad series OF
demands is not unexpected in
an election year. But if it can be
backed up with Republican CO.
operation and leadership this
will be a productive and con-
Structive session."
Partisan Atmosphere
The Eisenhower message ano
the quick Democratic reply got
the new session off in a partisan
political atmosphere that Is
likely to continue until adjourn

The Presidents message
reminded political reporters Of
the message former President
Truman sent to a Republican
Congress in l948, asking it to
pass in a couple of weeks a long
list OF bills it had been strug-

This country depends on
quality rather than quantity in
its Army, but the quality weap-
onS are not getting to the
troops, Secretary of the Army
Brucker said today.
In a speech delivered to the
convention here of the Asso-
citation of the United States
Army but aimed for all prac-
tical purposes at the new ses-
sion of Congress, Mr.. Brucker
listed the deficiencies of the
Army.
The worst thing, he said. is
that by Soviet standards the
American Army simply is not
modern.
1T is our national policy to
rely upon quality of forces
rather than try to match the
Communists man-for-man or
weapon for weapon High
quality forces are achieved
through the combination of SUI
perior manpower and superior
weaponry and equipment. .
Red Policy Noted
I'VE have superior manpower
Gin quality.
Our Army wants a match
ing superiority over the SovietS
in the quality of equipment
actually in the hands of troops.
Since World War II the
USSR has issued to troops new
models of virtually all the
weapons and equipment en-
ployed in the Soviet army. For
some items, there have been
two postwar generations.

covering more than a score of
subjects, including an unex-
pected request for additional
civil rights legislation.
Although congressional lead
ers have been talking of a
short session dealing with min
imum wages, medical care for
the aged. Federal aid to educa-
ton, housing and a few re-
naming appropriation bills,
Mr.. Eisenhower called on them
to tackle dozen other subjects.
Quick Adjournment Fades
The wide scope of his mes
sage, which seemed to reflect
the approaching presidential
campaign, dampened hope for
adjournment by Labor Day.
In addition to civil rights.
Mr.. Eisenhower singled out for
special emphasis the need to
solve the farm problem. and to
pass a new area assistance bill
to replace the one he vetoed
earlier this year.
Senate Democratic Leader
johnson of Texas promptly
accused the President of trying
to embrace vast portions Of
the Democratic platform. He
said it is obvious Congress
cannot enact in the closing
weeks of this session principles
the administration has been
reluctant to embrace over eight
years"
Senator Johnson, who is the
Democratic nominee for Vice
President, also emphasized that
the steps the President says
he has now taken to speed up
the defense program were only
possible because the Demo-
cratic Congress went above the
Presidents budget estimates
! for defense and increased the
appropriations over the Presi-
dents protests.

skiold, warning that the world
faced the issue of peace or

diate and unconditional with
drawal of Belgian forces from
the Congo, including secession
ist Katanga Province.
The United Nations secretary
general delivered the warning
in a hard-hitting speech at the
opening of an urgent meeting
of the 11-nation U. N. Security
Council on the Congo crisis.
He had asked for the meeting.
Il would even say that the
immediate conclusion of the
Congo problem is a question of

He called on the Council to
spell out in a resolution that
the withdrawal should apply to
Katanga land to all parts of

Celebrating on the crisis
faced by the United Nations,
he added:
Il do not hesitate to say that

of those which such action may
be intended to protect.
This applies to all parties,
first of all to the one which the
Security Council has addressed
It's appeal"
Mr.. Hammarskjold's personal
report to the Council was de-
livered as various proposals
were under consideration aimed
at getting U. N. troops into
Katanga Province.
Lumumba Asks Observers
Premier Patrice Lumumba
asked the Council to send a
donation observer team into
the Congo to ensure with
drawal of Belgian forces.
Mr.. Hammarskjold charged
that a harmful atmosphere of
distrust" has sprung up both
in and tside the Congo
against U. N. efforts to restore
order.
Then, in what appeared to
be a reference to harsh criti-
cism of him appearing in the
Soviet press, he added:
This dangerous tendency of
sowing distrust has not been
without support from other
quarters outside the Congo.

effort if it has to live under a
threat of any one-or more

own hands, breaking away
from the U. N. force and pur-
suing a unilateral policy"
Cites Charter Provisions
He reminded the council that
there were articles in the U. N.

to carry out Security Council

council to call on them for

to give effect to its decisions.
