Variety Of Fronts Removal Of Barrier Against Wilson Seen By Writer As Big Achievement BY RELMAN OK I.N WASHINGTON. Jan.

24 (AP) At 8:02 a. m. Wednesday. Dwight Eisenhower stepped inside an oval-shaped office in the White House. He looked pink-fresh on live hours sleep and said he was "feeling fine." The famous smile came out like a sunflower when he posed for pictures.

That done, he turned to the business of the flay, his first working day as President of the United States. In the next three days, as he fame up to his first week end in the White House, Mr. Eisenhower had: Succeeded In removing the bit; barrier blocking th way to confirming Charles E. Wilson as Secretary oX Defenxe. Resolved the anxiety ahnut his relations with the press by an-nnum'ing he would continue to hold the regular weekly news conferencesand perhais some of them on television.

Conferred with congrrssif'nal leaders on details of the legislative program he expects to lay before Congress in his Slate of the Union message. IKE'S TALK IN CHINESE TAIPEH, Jan. 21 iiP President Eisenhower's inaugural address was broadcast In Chinese last night beamed for audiences in Red China as well as Nationalist territory. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek had lauded the wrecked It at Reading Kd.

and Ave. An Investigating policeman frisked Davis but did not find the gun "cause I had It stuck in my belt and It's pretty small. You can put it in a watch pocket." Davia leaped over an embankment while the officer's back was turned. He was holding the gun in his hand and it discharged. The shot attracted several squads of police, but Davis escaped detection by lying in the creek witn his head on a rock.

"Only my nose was out of wi ter," he said. Later, Davis made his way to a trailer park on Reading Road and forced Kcrmit D. Woolridge to drive him away. They were headed for Harrison, Ohio, but got lost near New Baltimore. When thry stopped to ask directions.

Woolridge called for help and Davis fled through woods. "I saw some farmers coming out, so I ran to the river (the Great Miami). I swam across it and hid in the woods." He was captured shortly afterward. Davis had taken to the w'atcr before. He told police here that he once swam five miles to escape from San Quentm Prison in California.

OBITUARIES and industrial quarters to extend the present system of allocation and priority of materials. TAFT-HARTLEY AGAIN Taft-Hartley: President Eiaen-bower already has talked with his new Secretary of Labor, Martin Durkln, and Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R, N. chairman of the Labor Committee.

The President said during the campaign he was In favor of amending the law. One of Its coauthors. Sen. Robert A. Taft already Is studying it He said recently "I've got to go Into that myself and work It out." Walter Reuther, president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, had been asked to name someone for appointment as Undersecretary of Labor.

Mr. Dur-kin and Lloyd Mashburn, his undersecretary, both were executives of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Reuther said he was "not jumping" to the offer to appoint a CIO man, adding that he wanted to assure himself that the appointee would be in a position to have a positive effect on pending labor legislation. These fields along With questions about the future of foreign aid and the reorganization of government are areas in which Congress may not see eye to eye with the Hence, the interest in his message, which Is expected next week, i possibly Thursday.

Whatever the future may hold, he appeared to be off to a flying start in his new job. "That's a good way to hold a guy," husky Carter Davis told Cincinnati police in 1948. He was relating how he had trussed up two local taxicab drivers using nothing but their shoelaces. Davis did it by forcing his victims to lie on their stomachs then, doubling their legs back, tying their thumbs together over their feet with the shoelaces. Yesterday, Carter Davis had occasion to revive this method of "holding a guy." He applied it to Lt.

E. I- Bernard, of the Ohio Penitentiary, who was returning Davis from an honor ramp near Oxford, Ohio, to tbc Columbus prison. Threatening the officer with a penknife, Davis seized control of the station wagon and, forcing Lieutenant Bernard to throw his arms behind the seat, tied his thumbs together with the lieutenant's shoelaces. For additional security, Davis bound the officer's wrists with his bolt. The 32-year-old convict, formerly of Louisville, was sentenced to a 10 to 23 year term for armed robbery, November 4, 1948, in Criminal Court here.

He had been captured June 27 of that year when he climaxed what police said was a three-week crime spree with a rapid series of robberies, automobile thefts, a kidnaping and a swim across the Great Miami River-all in one night. His big finale, Davis told officers, began when he attempted to hold up the night clerk in the Central YMCA. He fled when the watchman appeared. Then he hired the taxicab of Curtis Lee, 37, 26 W. Daniels to take him to Newport where Davis produced a gun, took $24 from the driver, anil bound him with shoelaces.

Davis escaped In the cab and later ditched it, hiring one driven by Albert Bickcl 7 E. Eighth St. As the car approached Xav-ier University on Victory Parkway, Davis held up the driver, relieving him of between $33 and $40, and tied him up again using the shoelace technique. Davis drove off in the cab but Harry G. Hart Expires; Auditor, Official Of Elks Harry G.

Glittering with jewels and garbed in mink, Diane Harris, 21, sobbed unceasingly as she was arraigned in general sessions.

She wore a mink stole and A silk and rayon suit adorned with diamond clips as she was led, crying, Into the chambers of Judge Louis J. Capozxoll fur arraignment A gold bracelet adorned with diamond and pearls glittered on her wrist. The judge held her in $25,000 bond as a material witness in the case of Jclke, the oleomargarine heir who is scheduled to go to trial February 2 on charges of forcing girls to become prostitutes. Anthony J. Liebler, assistant district attorney, turned from the sobbing blonde to the judge and said that Diane Harris "Is the golden girl of cafe society." He went on to tell this story about her: "In 1931 she was a prostitute in New York county.

In the spring and early summer of that year she met a wealthy foreign tycoon who took her to Europe and to France where she later met a wealthy man and toured the continent with him. "She Is the owner of an Alpha Romeo car (of Italian manufacture) worth $8000. powers of persuasion? Nobody was saying. Perhaps significantly, Mr, Wilson said when he left the committee room: "If during my term of office I must deal with anv matter of business which I may feel might be subject to misunderstanding on account of my previous relationship with General Motors, I have been assured of the privilege of discussing ths matter fully with the President of the United States with reference to any action that may be taken." LOT MORE AT STARE It is now taken as a foregone conclusion that Mr. Wilson will be confirmed by the Senate as a whole.

The recommendation of a committee is almost tantamount to general approval. There was more at stake than met the eye. For some time, during Harry Truman's term of office, Congress had been becoming increasingly sensitive to what was regarded as the encroachment, by the executive, on the authority of the legislative branch. The Wilson case looked for a while like a head-on collision between the White House and the Congress, Moreover, the Republcan senators hoped for other reasons to avoid a showdown on this. It is dangerous to oppose the wishes of a popular new President, But vice versa, Republicans foresaw raucous remarks and a heavy at-tark from the Democrats on one of the very grounds of the last presidential campaign charges of favoritism in government, and disrespect for the law.

So a general feeling of relief went over Washington when Mr. Wilson got the blessing of the committee. BREAKFASTS WITH SOX President Eisenhower was getting down to work every day before 9 a. m. He was late (8:55) by his standards, on his second day in office.

Son John, a major in the Third Infantry Division, was going to Korea. There was a family breakfast in the White House, the two Eisenhower men and their wives. The President's son does not leave until tomorrow, but he was not to see his mother and father again before then. The first White House luncheon brought two governors as guests, Walter Kohler of Wisconsin, and Dan Thornton of Colorado. Sherman Adams, the President's White House assistant, also was present.

The governors said they talked about taxes and the relation of Federal taxation to the same functions within the states. President Eisenhower took his guests on a tour of the White House. They said he already seemed familiar with it and enjoyed showing it. He got a new chair. Really, it is an old chair, the one he used as president of Columbia University.

He watched the swearing in of his "kitchen cabinet, the aides and secretaries of the White House staff. He was acknowledging telegrams, more than 2500 messages, that arrived commenting on his inaugural address. Halt of them, Mr. Hagerty said, mentioned the prayer he had written and read, and praised him for It PROMISES PRESS TALKS He rattled a drawer in which Harry Truman had left some confidential papers for him. "Mr, Simmons," he said to William Simmons.

White House receptionist, "Is there a key to this desk? I can't get into this drawer." Mr. Simmons promptly produced the key. a i gton correspondents, heretofore apprehensive, warmed to his assurance that he would continue the weekly news conferences. He might even ask some Cabinet members to attend, so they could amplify answers to questions in their areas. There is a possibility, as well, that some of the White House conferences may televised.

All of this came as at least a minor surprise. Only the day before, a report had been circulating that the correspondents might lose their press room. Sn little as the story went were they regarded in the White House. Mr. Hagerty suggested tljat he personally hold, not one, but two On Sales To Minors In Cincinnati Hearing Count Against Silver Rail Of Hamilton Aftermath Of Teen-Age Death The Sons Bars and Grills operators of the Silver Rail Cafe, Hamilton, is listed among cafe owners scheduled to appear before the Ohio Board of Liquor Control at 1:30 p.

He pawned the worthless watch for two drinks at the cafe.

Sergeant Schirmer received a tip from someone who thought Johnson's behavior was suspicious. The officers went to the cafe and there found the worthless watch. Realizing they had their man, the officers learned his name and soon after arrested him. Johnson told the officers they could find the clothesline left over, after he had tied up Mrs. King, in a kitchen cabinet at his home, where he lived with his mother.

Mrs. King said on neither occasion did Johnson show a gun but both times kept his hand in his pocket, as if he had one. Officers who guarded Mrs. King after the second robbery were Detectives Robert Meldon, Bernard Creutzinger, Mires Stine, George Peterson, James Driskell, and Patrolmen Emerson Lucas and Edward Shepard.

President Eisenhower's government was taking its first steps. News came from two key departments, State and Agriculture. LOYALTY IS DEMANDED John Foster Dulles Issued the text of a letter addressed to all employees of the State Department. It called for "positive loyalty." One section read: "The peril (to this country) is of a special kind which places a special responsibility on and every member of the Department of tit nte and the foreign service. It requires of us competence, discipline and positive loyalty to the policies that our President and tlie Congress may prescribe The national welfare must be given priority over individual conrerns." No agency of government, in previous years, came under such severe criticism as the State Department.

Mr. Dulles was addressing himself to officers who, for 20 years, have known the foreign policy of two Democratic Presidents. A mile or so away, in the Department of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson also had news tor the employees there. He announced that he was putting the present 20 agencies into four general groups, the heads of which would report personally to him. And he said: "The Department of Agriculture is getting an overhauling.

In these times of unprecedented public debt and continuing high Federal expenditures, the public rightfully expects us to put forth even greater effort to effect savings in government operations and to reduce public expense." CONGRESS AWAITS TALK Over at the White House, President Eisenhower was working on his State of the Union message to the joint houses of Congress. It holds unusual interest. He did not go into domestic questions, -in depth, in his inaugural address. Consequently, Congress is exceptionally eager to hear what he will have lo say, especially In three vast fields taxation and the budget, controls and allocation and priority, and the Taft-Hartley Act. They all contain potential areas of conflict between the President and the legislators.

The patterns today look like this: Taxation President Eisenhower campaigned on a program that included cutting taxes. He advocated balancing the budget also. Probably although he has given no indication he would favor the latter before cutting taxes. But Rep. Daniel Reed N.

chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, has gone on record for a quick reduction of taxes on personal incomes. The excess profits tax for corporations expires July 1, On personal incomes, the rate goes dawn 11 per cent next January 1. Mr. Reed said it should go down at the same time with the corporation tax. POSSIBLE FIGHT SEEN However, If President Eisenhower gives priority to balancing thebudget a cut In personal taxes might not be feasible.

A fight could develop easily. On "the hill," It Is generally believed that many Democrats will vote with Republicans who want to reduce personal taxes. Controls: Rostrictons on wages, prices and rents are scheduled to expire April 30. There is a strong "let-'em-die" sentiment reported among congressmen. The law that provides these controls could be killed even before April 30, and again, the belief is that some Democrats, for political reasons, will vote with Republicans who want to end the controls, However, some congressmen believe President Eisenhower wHl ask for extension, perhaps in modified Production controls do not expire until June 30, but many industries hope to learn by February 1 whether they will be continued.

The "lead-time period" placing an order and (retting into production makes this almost mandatory, especially in the field of arms production.

Their absence remained a mystery. Associates said they believed the pair were engaged and might have eloped, This could not be confirmed. One official of the station said he knew only that neither appeared Friday although both had programs scheduled. Another answered "no comment" to all questions concerning the couple." Other sources said it was rumored that Miss Olberding was planning to resign and that auditions were being held for a possible replacement but that her resignation had not yet becjj submitted.

Talked everything from taxes to problems of the District of Columbia with governors of the states, Federal officials, and private citizens. The new President was off to fast start. Many persons are convinced It was not only fast, but good.

In any case, the foclin in Washington today iR much better than it was in President Eisenhower's first dav in office The mood then on Capitol Kill was like the weather dark, rciny and foreboding. It contrasted barefully with the sunshine and high spirits of Inauguration day. A new President always enjoys' a period free from disputes with Congress. This Is known a the "honeymoon." Sooner or later tt end and people watch carefully for signs of the end. But the wisecrack on "The Hill" a few days ago was: "When does the honeymoon begin 7" It looked as though President Eisenhower might not have his.

The problem was Mr. Wilson who he wants in his Cabinet. Mr. Wilson holds stock with a current value of $2H million in General Motors. He is eligible for more under a bonus plan.

He indicated, in his first appearance before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, that he intended to keep it. LAW GOVERNS IT But there is a Federal law. Title 18. Section 434. of the U.

S. Criminal Code, which reads: "Whoever being an officer tr directly or indirectly interested in the pecuniary profits on contracts of any corporation act? as an officer or agent of the United States for the transaction of business with such business entity, shall be -fined not more than $2000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." This was the point on which the senators locked with Mr. Wilson. He said: "I really feci you are giving me quite a pushing around. If I had come here to cheat, by God, I wouldn't be here." And again, he tald: "I am just human being, and I am making a great sacrifice to come down here." The senators replied that they had their duty to consider, under the law.

Mr. Wilson said he didn't want to go into the apple business. Sen. Harry Byrd who owns large apple orchards, dryly observed: "I wouldn't advise you to." So it stood. In the first 36 hours after Mr.

Eise'nhowcd sat at the President's desk, the problem seemed insoluble. Senatori let it be known that they would not vote to confirm Mr. Wilson to long as he held the stock. One, who asked not to be identified, said. "Mr.

Wilsan is a stubborn man." AGREES TO SELL Then, ai if by magic, the break came. At 7:25 p. m. Thursday, James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, summoned correspondents.

They had been waiting since midafternoon with no hint of the nature of the' break, They were disgruntled, getting hungrier by the minute, making the familiar excuses to their wives. Suddenly, the rotunda and the press room sprang to life. Mr. Hagerty read brief state- Snent Hla rugged Irish face slg-staled "drama" in big, red let- ter before he began. The President had tent Mr, Wilson's name to the Senate for Secretaary of Defense.

Mr. Wilson had agreed to dispose of Mi holdings In General Motors.

Was he less intractable than the senators first 'thought? Or was this another Instance of Mr. Eisenhower's a member of the Miami Grange, Milford.
