President Plans
Plea for Thrift

NEWPORT, R. l., July 9
(AP).-President Eisen h over
plans a special election year ap-
peal to Congress-when it re-
conveneS next month-to hold
down spending and complete
work on his legislative program.
The summer White House
disclosed this today amid re-
ports that Mr.. Eisenhower may
go personally before a joint
session of the Senate and House
to sound the appeal.
In reply to news conference
questions, Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty said:
The President doesn't believe
that Congress has even begun
to complete its work :"
Mr.. Hagerty added that in
addition to calling for speedy
action on legislative measures,
Mr.. Eisenhower will call for
caution against any election
year big-Spending fervor.
Mr.. Hagerty said Mr.. EiSen-
hover has not decided yet as
to the form his appeal will take.
Alternatives to personally ad-
dressing a joint session include
a special message to Congress
which would be read for him
and a speech to the Nation on
television and radio.
Among programs on which
Mr.. Eisenhower particularly
wants fast action are the 81
billion foreign aid plan and
for dealing with the
wheat surplus. Mr.. Hagerty
said.
He noted that the President
in a special message May 8
prodded Congress to act on
legislation in a variety of fields.
II would certainly think"
Mr.. Hagerty said. that in one
form or another he (Mr. Eisen-
hower) would call this again to
the attention of Congress when
they reconvene in August"

Organized labor entered the
