Republicans, have signed as cosponsors 'a resolution designed to bring about the inquiry. WILL GO FORWARD He and Watkins in separate interviews said they expect the inquiry would go forward, regardless of whether the Army makes a public statement. The Army has admitted it mishandled the case and said about 30 persons, in all were involved: Peress, now in private practice in New York, said today, "There is nothing to find out, but if they want to investigate I can't atop them. My promotion was routine and I thought they all knew that." Both Daniel and Watkins said they had been given to understand the investigation would be launched soon by the Senate Permanent Investigations subcommittee, under chairmanship of Sen. John McClellan Ark).

'UNFINISHED BUSINESS' McClellan, one of the 41 cosponsors of Daniel's resolution, only that "the Peress case possibly comes within the category of unfinished business."

POTTER STATEMENT In a related development, Sen. Charles E. Potter Mich.) who sat through the eight-week Army-McCarthy hearings and then blasted both sides, said he. had "recently" told a high administration authority that Secretary of Army Robert T.

Stevens and Army counsellor John G. Adams should be fired. Potter made the same recom mendation publicly when the Army-McCarthy report was issued last August. His statement came amid a fresh crop of rumors that Stevens and Adams may announce their resig nations on or before Feb. 4 a date which would mark the end of two years of service by Stevens as Secretary.

Pi M. By JOHN C. O'BRIEN Continued From First Tage caust, must maintain "countervailing military power to persuade the Communists of the futility of seeking their ends through aggres sion." Mr. Eisenhower's legislative pro- gram mostly unfinished business from the last Congress contained only one new proposal, a request for Federal action to. help the States relieve an unprecedented classroom shortage.

On this and several other pro posals, the President promised to send details in later special messages. HIS MAIN PROPOSALS Among his other major pro posals, most of which had been previously disclosed, were exten sion of the Selective Service Act, increased pay for the military and postal services, a boost in the postal rates, a reduction in tariffs, extension of the Small Business Act, revision of the Taft-Hartley Act, increase in the minimum wage from 75 to 90 cents an hour, increased salaries for members of Congress and Federal Judges, Statehood for Hawaii and event ually for Alaska, and' health in surance legislation; The. President was given a stand' ing ovation when he walked into the House chamber and again when he arose to speak. He touched off an equally warm demonstration when, before he started his speech, he called the attention of the lawmakers to the fact that this was the 73d birthday of Speaker Sam Rayburn Tex.) and turned to offer his felicitations. The President entered the House chamber at 12:30 P.

M. He was preceded by. Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon and the Senate, members of the diplomatic corps. and the Cabinet.

APPLAUDED 20 TIMES lawmakers interrupted the President 20 times for applause. giving him his biggest hand when he urged that they increase their own salaries and those of the Fed' eral judges. Many of the law makers, recalling their reluctance to vote themselves an Increase in the last session, laughed as though the President had told a good joke, Occasionally the applause came only from the Republican side of the House. When he came out for Hawaiian statehood, the Republicans applauded. When he held out hope for Alaskan statehood, the Democrats applauded.

There was little in the speech, which seemed to have been aimed at getting the session off in an atmosphere of harmony, that could have annoyed the Democrats. The President said a reduction of taxes this year was out of the question, but with a smile he held out hope that there could be a reduction in 1956 the campaign year. He called for extension of the excise taxes and the present corporation tax rate, which are due to expire unless renewed by legisla tive action. OUTLOOK IS GOOD Mr. Eisenhower told Congress that 1954 was one of the most prosperous years in our history and that the "economic outlook is good.

"Today." he said, "the transition to a peacetime economy is largely behind us," and added that if rwe act wisely, within 10 years our annual national output can rise from its present level of abaut 000.000 to $500,000,000,000, measured in dollars of stable buying power." The President said his budget message on Jan. 17 and the economic renort on Jan. 20 would set forth major programs to foster the growth of the economy and safeguard the integrity of the people's money. OTHER PLANS OUTLINED Mr. Eisenhower also listed other programs which he would unfold in detail in later messages: Jan.

10 Specific recommendations for carrying forward the legislative phases of the foreign ammar Hold Long Continued From First Page issue, the United States and her allies declared the fliers were military personnel, not spies, and should be treated" as prisoners ot war. The Communist bloc replied that these men were shot down in China on an espionage mission and their convictions were in accord with Chinese law. MANY MORE INVOLVED Hammarskjold also wants the repatriation of hundreds of pris oners of war who have not been accounted for and who are believed to be held in Communist camps or jails. The Secretary-General, sent the U.N. a brief message giving the time of the meeting and saying who took part.

He did not state. whether progress was made nor did he express any opinion on the talk. When Hammarskjold' and Chou met at 3 P. M. Peiping time today, the Secretary-General was accompanied by Humphrey Waldock, professor of international law at Oxford university, and Professor Ahmed Bokhari, new U.N.

JB President Eisenhower today to the Senate the new mutual1 defense treaty with Na tionalist, China, calling it a link in the hew collective security chain in the Pacific. In a 'message accompanying the treaty, the President said it was "designed to deter any attempt by the Chinese Communist regime to bring its aggressive military ambitions to bear against the treaty The treaty'provides for Nation alist China and the United States to act in accordance with their constitutional procedures in event of an armed attack" against ter ritories of either country. The treaty primarily covers Chiang Kai-shek's island fortress of Formosa and the nearby Nationalist-held Pescadores islands; Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has stated publicly U.

S. forces would intervene, in event of armed Communist attack on Formosa or the Pescadores. The question of U. S. aid In event of Red -attack on other Chinese Nationalist-held islands off the Chinese mainland has been left in doubt at least as far as public statements are concerned.

oa Cold War Ignored CIicss Rivals Palsy Continued From First Page yesterday the rivals were conducting a "cold war" by not speak. ing and deliberately cold-shoul dering one' another. Hudson and Spiller, however, denied the report. So did more than 60 of the 170 players, in the tourney, who sent a letter to the London. Daily Express protesting.

that the. dispatch was inaccurate THE Americans pointed out that the Russians were playing in an entirely different part of the tourney. "We never had occasion to talk to them before because they're playing in the first-grade tournament and Lt. Hudson in the second and myself in the. third," Spiller said.

Hudson, a member of Philadel phia's Franklin Chess Club, 1614 Locust is participating in the premier reserve section of the tournameat. During his Air Force training, "he won State championships in Texas and Louisiana. "At first -we didn't think the Russians spoke English, but later we found out they did the airmen declared. "We don't have much to talk about except chess and it's hard to talk to them about that because they're undoubtedly the last word. "But now both the Russians and ourselves are going out of.

our way to b6 friendly. Every time we see each other-we smile as broad as we can and say hello." GRADUATE of South Phila- xl delphia High School for Boys, Hudson attended the University of Pennsylvania, where three years ago he was leader of the intercollegiate league chess team. A Philadelphia chess authority said the premier reserve play is the highest section below the master class. 97 In Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Jan. 6 UP).

McCarthy (R who has accused Mr. Eisen hower of a "shrinking show of weakness" toward Communist China, criticized what he called the President's "failure to propose that we take some positive action to secure the release of all AmerM can citizens in Communist Jails." McCarthy said the "least" Mr. Eisenhower could have done "is to indicate that we would cut off aid to our allies" who are trading with Red China. SPLENDID DOCUMENT On the other hand Rep. Thomas J.

Dodd a member of the House Foreign Affairs Com mittee, commented that he was "particularly pleased" at the deter- Lmination expressed to obtain free dom for Americans held by Red China, and said he hoped this country would take appropriate steps "if United Nations efforts failed.
