The Presidents son has been

since 1858.
The younger Eisenhower's

month course at the institu-
ton which prepares selected

and staff positions.
Shortly after President Eli

He previously had been on
duty in Korea and has since
filled several assignments in
the greater Washington area.
John Eisenhower and his
family live in Gettysburg, Pa,
close to the farm home where

hover plan to live in retire
ment. Gettysburg is about 80

Congressional leaders are
working quietly on a plan to
restore President Eisenhower to
his five-star general rank soon
after he leaves the White House
on January 20.
They conceded privately that
some opposition may arise be-
cause, as a former President, he
also will be eligible for a $25, 900
annual pension and once ex-
penses Of up TO $50,000. Re-
stored rank would pay $40, 0,543
a year.
A special act Of Congress
would be required to restore
the rank because Mr.. Eisen-
hover resigned his permanent
five-star commission in 1852
when he was first nominated
by the Republicans.
Sponsors Of the move to re-
store the rank point out there
are precedents for drawing two
Government retirement awards.
Some civilian Government
workers have qualified for re-
tirement after becoming eligible
for military retirement pay.

gress approved an act that

A senior congressional Re-
publican today agreed with q
Kennedy adviser on the need
to overhaul Federal regulatory
agencies. But he said Congress,
not the President, should do
the revamping.
Representative Bennett of
Michigan, ranking COP.
member Of the House Com
merce Committee which deals
with regulatory agencies, COM
mented in an interview on q
study made for President-elect
Kennedy by James M. Lands,
former Harvard Law School
dean.
Senator Carroll, Democrat Of
Colorado, chairman Of a sub
committee studying admins
trative practices, called for q
drive against powerful pres
sure groups" which he said
have stymied agency reform in
the past. He said Mr.. Kennedy
will provide the leadership fol
change, and that the Presi-
dent-elect has invited him tc
confer on the Lands report.
Mr.. Lands accused both
Presidents Eisenhower and
Truman Of a lack of concern
for the agencies, Of appointing
commissioners for political
reasons rather than ability tc
do the job, and failing to avoio
outside influences themselves

are sent to the White House

retary, James C. Hagerty, de-
clined comment.
Mr.. Truman, asked about
the Lands study on his morn
ing stroll today, commented:
There's no question that
he's right about the boards
being padded against the in
terest of the public since 1852,
when the Republicans came in,
and to benefit their financial
interests"
The former President said
Lands tried to make 1t (the
study bipartisan by putting IL
back 10 years instead Of only
eight years."

1884"
Mr.. Lands called for a series
Of reorganiztaions to be made
by the new President. Mr.
Bennett, however, said what.
ever reforms are needed ought
to be legislated by Congress
One Of the most important
things is keeping these agen-
cies independent"
The Congressman said the
House Legislative Oversight
Subcommittee, through its in.
quiry into regulatory agencies
has pointed the way to what
reforms are needed.
He said the delays in agency
decisions could be removed BY
having individual commits.
sioners write decisions, witt
proper staff help, and this ir
turn would do away with what
he called much Of the back
stage efforts to influence de-
cisions.

Of political hacks for key posts
made public here last night, Mr..
Kennedy reported:
This is a most important

serves the attention Of the
members Of Congress as well as

Pierre SaIinger, the Presi-
dent-elect's press secretary, said
the Lands report will be the
basis for possible future action
in this field by Mr.. Kennedy,
and also for some recommen-
dattons he will make to Con-

Mr.. Landis's first recommen-
dation for legislative action was

Spurns Talks on Ban

During the talks the three
countries have had a mora
torium on tests. without con-
trolls, but France has insisted
she was not bound by the
agreement.
Gen. de Gaulle has made it
plain France has no intention
of joing the nuclear test ban
talks. These are due to resume
in February after the admins
tration of President-elect John
F. Kennedy has taken Office in
Washington. Gen. de Gaulle's
view is that suspension of
tests, unless the other powers
destroyed their stocks of
nuclear weapons, would give
the world a false sense Of
security.
Gen. Pierre Ailleret, chief of
the French special weapons
division. has denied that the
first device exploded last
February 13 was a two story
monster" He said it was
small enough to be carried by
a French air force cargo plane.
It has been described as having
a force of about 10000 tons of
TINT, or about three times
more powerful than the Hiro-
shima bomb dropped by the
United States in 1945.
