Crisis Clouds Ike Plans Washington (JP) The Israeli thrust into Egypt left President Eisenhower's campaign travel plans clouded in uncertainty to day. With the election a week from today, there appeared to be a chance the stretch drive Eisenhower had charted might be curtailed. Up in the air, for example, was the matter of whether Eisenhow er will go ahead with plans for a flying sortie tomorrow into Texas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. "I just don't know. I can't tell yet," James C.

Hagerty, White House Press Secretary said last night when asked whether the Israeli crisis might force cancellation or revision of part of the campaign schedule. He was asked specifically about the trip on the docket for tomorrow. Hagerty made the same reply "I don know when asked what effect the Israeli situation might have on plans for Eisenhower to travel to Philadelphia Thursdav evening for a major campaign ad dress on nationwide television and radio. New Look Due The press secretary indicated there would be a new look at Eisenhower's campaign itinerary today in the light of the tense situation in the Middle East. ine wnue House nas an nounced the itinerary only through the scheduled Philadel phia appearance, but Hagerty said last week Eisenhower un-i doubtedly would book additional political speeches.

There have been reports he intended to close his reelection bid with an address in Boston Monday night, Election Eve. But the whole picture became fogged over yesterday- when Israel sent troops into Egypt Eis enhower got the news at the air port in Jacksonville, just after a campaign speech. Stresses Strength In that address he said Amer ica must remain militarily strong and at the same time must "give to our pursuit of peace our en tire dedication." He alluded to efforts in Poland and Hungary to throw off Soviet domination, and added: "At this particular stage of the world's history, where we see a once-proud people being trampled down by marching regiments, this is no time to stop the draft this is no time to stop perfecting our weapons." That clearly was another crack at proposals by his Democratic rival for the presidency, Adlai E. Stevenson, that (1) the United States take the lead in seeking world agreement to ban hydrogen bomb testing, and (2) thought be given to ending the military draft under conditions consistent with national security.

Fighting Reported A rebel-held radio at 'Miskolc said street fighting erupTed this morning in Budapest Reports from correspondents in the capital last night said some revolutionaries still were refusing to surrender their arms until the Russians leave. Radio Budapest appealed to the capital's population "to be helpful" to the Russians in the promised withdrawal. "An earlier broadcast said the defiant young rebels in Budapest had reached an agreement with Premier Imre Nagy's government to lay down their arms by 9 a.m. and the Russians would leave within 24 hours.

Later the radio said "those armed groups which still are carrying out resistance should participate from 9 a.m. on, simultaneous with the cease-fire, in the reestablishment of calm and order." New Police Force Seen The Budapest Radio also called for all Communist Party members in the city able to carry arms to assemble in party meeting places where new "protection units were to be formed. This miht mean the formation of a new Communist police force. A broadcast also announced that all of Budapest's Danube River bridges "now can be used again by the population." The bridges had been under control of Russian units. Rebel forces holding much of the Hungarian countryside urged that the arms surrender agreement announced in Budapest be disregarded.

There were indications that some Russian forces already had begun to withdraw from some areas of Budapest. The government radio carried a Hungarian army high command announcement saying Hungarian troops were replacing Soviet troops in the industrial section of Southern Budapest and evacuation of that area would be completed by dawn.
