EISENHOWER ATTACKS IFK,S DOMESTIC POLICY

II WASHINGTON dR Former
 President Dwight D. Eisenhower
 expressed strong disapproval to the 1 Kennedu administration domestic program it's ''heavy spending on all fronts and moves for in-
 creased Presidential powers. But he called for full support for it's foreign policy.
 The ex-President, facing room full of reporters at news confer
 ence in the old Senate Office Bldg, said no one, in or out of office, had sufficient knowledge to criti- size President Kennedy on his foreign policy.
 On the domestic front, however, Eisenhower said he had radical differences with Kennedy. He read prepared statement express ing concern over:
 First, the strenuous efforts of the administration to increase greatly the power of the executive branch of government.
 Second, administration insis- tence upon increasingly heavy fed eral spending on all fronts
 Eisenhower said the problem of the Presidency rarely is lack of power.
 Ordinarily" he said, athe prob lem is to use the already enormous power of the Presidency judicious- ly, temperately and wisely"
 In a question and answer period, l Eisenhower declined, however, to l express an opinion on the way Kennedy used his power in the steel price situation and forced a rollback of a price increase
 ITO take sides would indicate | approve of what the steel com ,anies did" he said. And I don't i lave the facts to know whether a ;6 ton raise was warranted.
 Eisenhower appeared to enjoy he familiar routine of reporters \ topping questions at him and landled the conference with ease md humor.

WASHINGTON R --- Gov. Wm. Egan of Alaska said he got the impression Wednesday that the Alaska Communications System will be transferred from the Army to the Air Force.
 Tt appears that such a transfer IS going to be effected,' said Egan after discussing the matter with military officials at the Pentagon.
 There is no indication when it might be done; they are giving 1t a lot of thought" Egan added.
 A special effort, he said. is being made to avoid hardship for civilian employees of the governments ed system which supplies civilian as well as military communication service in Alaska.
 After yesterdays talks, I think the transfer isn't going to have any negative effect on service or workers. Quite likely it will make for even greater efficiency Egan added.
 The governor said he planned to talk informally with various members of Congress and others about state matters and go to New York 10 discuss financial subjects, such as bond issues, with some people there. He intends tc be back in Juneau by Saturday.
