Although conference actions were taken in closed session, all the Republican governors went along with a statement suggesting Eisenhower and Congress take some action toward "alleviating" the burden of high interest Democratic Gov. George Leader of Pennsylvania drafted the statement.

WITHIN WEEK Judiciary subcommittee Chairman Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D) said he hopes for action "within a week" on a bill to let trial judges decide which, if any, files can be seen but to give the government veto power even if it means a mistrial. A similar bill was introduced today by Sen. John W. Bricker R) Ohio, who said Congress must correct "the confusion and havoc" resulting from the court's decision on the files.
