MCTo-MCWER. INC. is intro- ducing revolutionary new squeeze handle control on deluxe transmission propelled units of their 1862 line of power mowers and powered garden equipment. The new handle design makes lawn moving not only safer but also as easy as shaking hands Aptly named the ssSqueez- N MoW handle. the new control system makes the clutch engaging mechanism an integral part of the pistol grip handle. When the operator squeezes the handle, the trans mission engages, when he rel leases his grip, t disengages. This new. natural control han- dle puts the operator in posi- tive, instant command of the unit at all times. t eliminates all reaching and furAbling for controls because the operator s hand never leaves the handle.

WHITE HOUSE AWARE
 OF RED CHINESE BUILDUP

WASHINGTON E - The White House acknowledged concern yes- terday over a buildup of Chinese Communist forces on the mainland opposite the Nationalist-heId is lands of Quernoy and Matsll.
 Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said: 1The administration has been watching with concern the buildup of Red Chienese air and ground U
 Other officials had said earlier that intelligence reports suggest the massing of troops is on the largest scale since the war in Korea.
 Government sources described forces in the area as greater than the blsilaap at the time of the 1853 crisis when Communist artillery bombarded Quenoy and Matsu day after day.
 While it is possible that the Chinese Reds are reaSsembling forces for defensive purposes, these sources said, the size and char acter of the movement also indi- cates they could be used for of fensive purposes.
 President Kennedy, 1t was learn ed, has not expressed a personal opinion on the question of de- fense of the offshore islands a subject of debate between him and former Vice President Richard Nixon in the 1860 campaign. There was no immediate indication as. to whether the United States was considering any moves as a result of the buildup.

Ike Calls For
 Cut In Nations Defense Budget

WASHINGTON R Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stunned Re- publicans as well as Democrats Friday night with a call for saIb- stantial cuts in the nations $5l.6- billion defense budget.
 The former Presidents unex@ pected assertion that current mili- tary spending reflects @anjustified fears, plus a reluctance in some quarters to relinquish outmoded concepts caught Republican lead- CTS short.
 Eisenhower did not elaborate. He did not say where he would cut the defense spending which has been regarded by both parties as sacrosanct and above the de- bate over balancing the budget.
 The former President bluntly put it this way at $100-a-plate Re- publican party dinner.
 s'On the military side, we Re- publicans will continue to work across the political aisle for. strength unencumbered by waste, and strength not loaded by hys- teria.
 Here I must record my personal belief that substantial amounts in our current defense budget reflect unjustified fears, plus reluctance in some quarters to relinquish out moded concepts.
 : Accordingly, I personally be- lieve with am sure very little company in either party the, the defense budget should be sub- stantially reduced
 Democrats have contended in al- most every instance that President kennedy's increased defense spend ing, aimed largely at beefing up conventional ground forces, was completely justified. Republicans have not objected to the more than s2-billion increase Kennedy made. in the budget.
 Rep. Charles Haneck, the House Republican leader, swallowed Dit and said he was not really to sur prised by Eisenhower's statement.
 Gen. Eisenhower remains the best authority in the country on the defense budget, 7 Halleck said. If he thinks 1t should be cut, I believe we can find places to do iitt. '
 Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, had an autograph-signing good time. Republicans of all shades of opinion lined up to get the sigma lures that were still regarded as valuable in COP ranks.
 When the amenities were over, the former President tore into Ken nedy's administration on almost every domestic issue.
 Eisenhower said among other things that tour national economy has become uncertain, fearful, i'll at ease. ]"
 He said it was obvious that the K Kennedy administration twas f1oundering, thrashiHg sirnlessly and bit desperately aboGs in tke surging financial, fiscal and economic currents of our time,
