EISENHOWER JUST TOO BUSY
TO ANSWER TRUMAN ON SNUB

President Eisenhower said today he hasn't time To
reply to former President Trmans account of differences
between them.
He also said I just can't be bothered" by looking at
unfrendy cartoons and coumniss quips in the news
papers.
The President was responding to a news conference
request for reply to Mr.. Trumans published account
OF The Day Ike Snubbed Me"
Mr. Truman wrote in Look magazine that he was
disappointed when Mr. Eisenhower refused invitation
to lunch at the White House just before going to the
Capitol for his 1858 Inauguration.
The former President also recounted a conversation
in which he quoted Mr. Eisenhower saying he had not
attended the Truman Inauguration in l949

President Gets
Acc Fund Bill
OF $251.4 Million
By the Associated Pres

The Senate yesterday sent to
President Eisenhower a $751;
476,000 Atomic Energy Com
mission authorization bill after
rejecting his request for funds
to start a huge atom smasher.
The Senate followed the
Joint Atomic Energy Commit
tee and the House in turning
down the Presidents plea for
$l07.2 million to build the two
mile-long linear accelerator at
Stanford University.
However, Democrats who op-
posed the full authorization at
this time put in the bill 50
million for further design
studies on the project and said
they were sure it would be built
eventually.
Republicans backed the
Presidents request for the
money now, but did not press
for a roll call vote.
The bill carries outhoriza-
tions for Acc weapons, re-
search and construction prof.
ects in the year beginning July
/. The actual funds will have
to come later in appropriation
bills.

ical activity, "in effect, would
preclude political activity of
any kind by employees of the
civil service" but said he be-
lieved 'it would be much fairer
than what is going on now
Mr.. Broyhill said he would
personally prefer that I'VE did

native"
The Representative recon-
mended that Congress tighten
the Hatch Act to control ex-
ercise of political pressure at
the point where it is applied
and establish severe penalties
on those who attempt to apply
it." One of the functions of the
Hotch Act is to protect Federal
workers from political press
ures.
Mr.. Broyhill said a poll Of
his 10th district constituents
revealed that 51.2 per cent Of
the 6700 persons who replied
favored liberalizing the act, so
Federal workers could partici-
pate in partisan politics at the
local level. Opposed to liberali-
cation were 43.8 per cent, he
said, and per cent said they

President said there was no
way of predicting how efficiently

search stage, would operate.

tiles or of the special efforts to

Distasteful But Necessary
Third point. How should we
view all of this activity?
1t is distasteful but vital
necessity.
We prefer and work for a
different kind of world-and a
different way of obtaining the
information essential to con-
fidence and effective deterrence.
Open societies, in the day of
present weapons. are the only
answer.
This was the reason for my
open skies" proposal in 1855,
which I was ready instantly to
put into effect-to permit aerial
observation over the United
States and the Soviet Union
which would assure that no
surprise attack was being pre-
pared against anyone. l shall
bring up the open skies" pro-
posal again at Paris-since it is
means of ending concealment
and suspicion.
Must Avoid Distraction
My final point is that we must
not be distracted from the real
issues of the day by what is an
incident or a symptom of the
world situation today.
This incident has been giver
great propaganda exploitation
The emphasis given to a flight
by an unarmed, nonmilitary
plane can only reflect a fetish
of secrecy.
The real issues are the ones
we will be working on at the
Summit-diSarmament, search
for solutions affecting Ger
many and Berlin, and the whole
range of East-West relations
including the reduction Of
secrecy and suspicion.
Frankly, I am hopeful thai
we may make progress on thest
great issues. This is what We

Super-Cabind
Plan Deferred

President Eisenhower dis
closed today that he is putting
of until next January submit
ting to Congress his plan for
a reorganization of top eche-
Ions of Government.
Mr.. Eisenhower has been re-
ported planning to propose Gre
alton of a super-cabinet post of
first secretary of the Govern
ment to direct and coordinate
all foreign affairs activities. His
plan also is understood to in
volve creation of a top "busi-
ness manager" in the domestic
field.
Mr.. Eisenhower said several
months ago that he hoped to
submit proposals for changes
at the top level of Government
this year.
He explained today that he
had changed his plans a little
because he became convinced
that anything he proposed in
this election year would be
regarded as political. So he
decided to put his plan in the
state of the Union message he
will deliver to Congress next
January regardless Of who is
elected to succeed him as
President.
Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized
that he thinks it is essential to
provide some way to get closer
and tighter day to day co-ordi-
nation of every Government
activity that touches on the
foreign field. This is tire
mendously important" because
most every department now has
some responsibilities in the
foreign field, he added.
The other main point of his
proposals, he said, will be to
secure closer coordination of
all the Governments business
affairs, including procurement
activity. now spread through

West Virginia and. certain
other States. The questioner
wanted to know whether the
President will sign or veto the
depressed areas bill, now on his
desk.
IF I don't approve of a par
ticular bill what would you ex-
pect me to do?" the President
asked.
Then he described the $25l
million Democratic measure,
calling for Federal loans and
'grants to stimulate new indus
trial development in depressed
areas, as a greatly inflated"
measure.
He said the sections of West
Virginia, Southern Illinois, Ken
lucky and Pennsylvania that
need help would get less from
this bill than they would from
the administrations. $50 million
program. He implied that the
bill Congress passe might
cover too many areas. He COM
pared it to a pork barrel bill.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he was
not predicting anything. but
would do what his conscience
dictates about the bill. But
most observers gathered from
his tone that the bill will be
vetoed, as Republican leaders
have predicted.
The President sidestepped a
question on whether he thinks
all stores in the South should
follow the example of six Nash
vile (Tenn.) establishments
yesterday in admitting Negroes
to their lunch counters.
Mr.. Eisenhower said that
even if he had the wisdom of
a Solomon he is several hun
dred miles from most of those
cities and local conditions would
have to be taken into account.

eral Government has a respon:
Sibility to see that constitutional

it comes to the "sit-in" dem
onstrations, he is not enough
of a lawyer to know just what

parties to the conference would
use against each other, and in
general the most effective
means available to quarrel with
each other and further strain
the international situation"
Mr.. Gromyko condemned
President Eisenhower's open
skies plan, first advanced at the
Geneva summit conference of
1855, as serving the interests of
American military intelligence.
He said the Russians naturally
could not accept it. The sky
over the Soviet Union is closed,
Mr.. Gromyko said, and will re-
main closed.
(At a news conference in
Washington, Mr.. Eisenhower
said he will renew at next
weeks summit meeting his
proposal that the Soviet
Union and the United States
open their skies to flights by
inspection planes)
Allies Denounced Again
Mr.. Gromyko told his news
conference Turkey, Pakistan
and Norway were accom-
plices in this aggressive act"
According to the Soviet
version, Mr.. Powers took off
from his base at Adana. Tur-
key. and flew to Peshawar,
Pakistan, before proceeding
on a flight plan that would
have carried him across Soviet
territory to Bodo, Norway.
Both Pakikstan and Norway
have denied knowledge of
such a flight.
Mr.. Gromyko declared the
Soviet Union will spare no
effort for a mutual agreement"
at the Paris summit meeting
despite the W spy plane Incl
dent. He said the Soviet
Union is going to the confer
ence with pure heart and good
intentions"
The Soviet Union in a note
yesterday laid the blame for
the Powers flight squarely on
the United States Government
not just its military leaders
and indicated the flyer may
be tried for espionage.

In the parks Chess Club
rooms, two wings of an aircraft
were propped up as the exhibits
centerpiece. They appeared to
be in almost perfect condition
except for a series of small
holes which looked as if they
were made by shrapnel.
Great twisted pieces of metal
from the plane were also shown,
along with the personal con-
tents of Powers wallet.
Also on display were photo
graphs of Mr.. Powers, excerpts
described as from dispositions
proving he belonged to the
American intelligence service,
camera, photographs the f1ier
reputedly took on his fight,
and an array of what the So
Wet news agency Tass called
espionage tools. These included
a silenced pistol, a dagger, the
needle with an instant-action
poison, Soviet rubles and for
eign currency.
Won't Allow Interview
Mr.. Gromyko said newsmen
would be allowed to see Mr..
Powers only after the Soviet
investigation has been COM
pleted.
TV and still cameras photo
graphed Mr.. Gromyko's every
expression and about 200 news
men listened in the news con-
ference, held at the exhibition
site.
Mr.. Gromyko gave special
attention to a Washington
statement that a flight such as
Mr.. Powers did not require the
special permission of President
Eisenhower.
"a general directive which
was issued several years ago
suffices," Mr.. Gromyko said.
Thus the United States Gov
ernment in actual fact granted
the Pentagon and the intel
ligence agencies of the United
States freedom of action in
matters on which may depend

nave made some notes from
which I want to talk to you
about this U-2 incident. 3
A full statement about this
matter has been made by the
State Department. and there
have been several statesman
like remarks by leaders of both
parties.
For my part, I supplement
what the Secretary of State
has had to say with the follow
ing four main points. After
that, shall have nothing fur
ther to say-for the simple rea-
son I can think of nothing to
add that might be useful at
this time.
First point is this: The need
for intelligence gathering ac-
'tivities.
No one wants another Pearl
Harbor. This means that we
must have knowledge of mill
tary forces and preparations
around the world, especially
those capable of massive sur
prise attack.
Vital to Safety of West
Secrecy in the Soviet Union
makes this essential. In most
of the world no large-scale
attack could be prepared in Sc
cret. But in the Soviet Union
there is a fetish of secrecy and
concealment. This is a major
cause of international tension
and uneasiness today. Our de-
terrent must never be placed in
Jeopardy. The safety of the
whole free world demands this.
AS the Secretary of State
pointed out in his recent state
ment, ever since the beginning
OF my administration I have is
sued directiveS to gather, in
every feasible way. the infor-
nation required to protect the
United States and the free
world against surprise attack
and to enable them to make
effective preparations for de-
fenSe.
| My second point: The nature
of intelligence gathering activ-
tiles.
These have special and Sc
cret character. They are soto
speak below the surface" ac-
tiVities.
| They are secret because they
must circumvent measures de-
signed by other countries to
protect secrecy of military prep
arations.
Broad Directives
They are divorced from the
regular, visible agencies of gov
ernment which stay clear of
operational involvement in
specific detailed activities.
! These elements operate un-
der broad directives to seek and
father intelligence short of the
use of force-with operations
supervised by responsible Off
cialS within this area of secret
activities.
/ We do not use our Army,
Navy or Air Force for this pur-
pose, first to avoid any posi-
olllty of the use of force IN
connection with these activities
and second because our mill
tary forces, for obvious rea-
sons, cannot be given latitude
under broad directives but must
oe kept under strict control in
every detail.
These activities have theil
own rules and methods of con-
cealment, which seek to mis-
lead and obscure-just as ir

many discrepancies. For ex-
ample, there is some reason tc
