After meeting in a closed session for more than an hour, the committee told of the Porter action but disclosed none of the discussion. The $100,000 was raised for a testimonial dinner for Rep. Joseph Martin (R-Mass.) and which the national Republican leadership refused to accept. The incident received wide publicity when it was disclosed that the Porter letter soliciting for the dinner had mentioned the fact that Martin was a friend of the Natural Gas Bill which is generally backed by both Democrats and Republicans in Texas. There was indirect evidence to'day that the criticism of Porter implied in national committee's refusal to take the money had brought sharp reaction from Texas' Republican leaders.

Lee Porter, special assistant to National Republican Chairman Mead Allcorn, called the affair "an unfortunate incident" in a talk to the committee after the meeting opened. "One incident should not hurt the relations between the Republican party and Texas," Porter said. "We must look ahead and look back. I want you to know that we of the national committee hold Jack Porter in the highest regard." Rising Unemployment Major Worry As U.S. Business In Doldrum Stage By STERLING F.

But the Soviet ambassador declined to say specifically that he had talked with the President Secretary of State John Foster Dulles about preparations for a top-level conference. Parries Questions Menshikov met with the President and Dulles in Eisenhower's White House office at 11 a.m.

I hope it will ripen soon" Menshikov also said: "We all believe that any steps that are taken should take us nearer to a summit meeting."

Is Trying To Ease Arms Cost Load WASHINGTON, March 3-(A)- President Eisenhower said today the United States is determined to exert every effort to ease the burden and threats of heavy armaments "from the daily lives of all the peoples of the world." Eisenhower so assured James J. Wadsworth, the administration's new disarmaments negotiator, in a letter made public by the White House. The President wrote that no problem is more vital than that of "finding a way to relieve of the burden of devising, developing and maintaining arms could lead to mankind's self-destruction." He said the arms burden not only endangers lives, but, because of its evergrowing cost, is "an increasing threat to the economic wellbeing and security of everyone." "The United States. together with like-minded nations, is determined to exert every effort to assure that obstacles, procedural or substantive, not continue to interrupt our genuine striving to remove these threats from the daily lives of all the peoples of the world," Eisenhower said. Wadsworth, who is retaining his position as Deputy U.

S. representative to the UN, was appointed to the disarmament post which Harold E. Stassen resigned to try for Republican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania. Whereas Stassen was a special assistant to Eisenhower, Wadsworth will not hold a White House office but will serve under Secretary of State Dulles in future disarmament negotiations.

And economist-advisor to the Findco More Strength Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, Dr. Charles Walker, listed more points of strength than weakness in the business outlook. The Dallas Federal Reserve Bank's survey of department store sales showed January was equal to the same month last year over the district as a whole. But sales eased in the four weeks ending Feb.

22 by 10 per cent. This decline was less noticeable in the one week ending Feb. 22, when sales were down only 7 per cent. The University of Texas' Bureau of Business Research reported sales of both durable and non-durable retail goods were higher in January than in 1957. It has not yet reported its February figures.

This informant made it clear the first time that American offcials believe the current "Good Offices" must lead to a discussion of the three-year Algerian War in later stages of the conciliation talks.

McClellan told newsmen: "I would say think mass picketing is something the committee may wish to consider." Sen. Karl Mundt (R-S. said he believes there should be a ban on mass picketing which prevents non-strikers from entering a plant to work or which blocks customers and deliverymen access to a business establishment. McClellan declared that the committee should "for its own purposes at least," determine whether such picketing is "an improper labor practice that should be dealt with by legislation." Spokesmen for the striking Automobile Workers Union have freely admitted that mass picket lines of between 1,500 and 2,000 persons were thrown around the Sheboygan, Kohler plant in April and May, 1954, when the bitter labor dispute began. Some have line admitted also the picket prevented striking workers from entering or leaving the plumbing equipment manufacturing plant.
