The President also told a news conference once again that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is the only man who can deal authoritatively for Russia. Eisenhower was asked how much progress there would have to be at the Geneva 'foreign ministers confer- to the American system. ence beginning Monday to justify a later 'meeting at the summit.

replied that he wasn't in a position to give a specific reply, but does hope for gome progress at Geneva. Any development there which gives enlarged hope for decreasing East-West tensions would mean, Eisenhower said, that a later summit session was a foregone conclusion. conference brought these comments i from Eisenhower on other matters: STEEI--In the long run, the United States can't stand idly by and do nothing about any new wage-price spiral which might stem from the industry's negotiations with tis workers. Eisenhower said anew that he idea of any government intervention or move to control wages and prices as contrary But he added emphatically that all 175 million Americans are vitally interested in this situation and are not going to stand aside and see themselves hurt. Both labor and management in the steel industry must act with good sense and wisdom, the President said.

TRUMAN Asked whether he feels former Prsident Truman has been evading his invitations to the White House, Eisenhower replied he wanted to make one clear. Whenever he invites anyone on a personal basis--as distinguished from a formal invitation--he always emphasizes he will understand if the man invited is unable to attend. Those invited have a right without question to send regrets if attendance would cause them.incon- venience. The exchange was against the Corpse of Second Martin Girl Found HOOD RIVER, Ore. UP) Searchers concentrated today at a deep water cove three miles up the Columbia River from Cascade Locks, hoping finally to put an end to the mystery of the Ken Martin family.

'The remains of two children, Susan, 10, and her sister, Virginia, 12, have been found in the river. Still missing are Ken Martin, 54, his wife, 48, and another daughter, Barbara, 14. The Martins vanished Dec. 7 while on an automobile trip up the Columbia River for Christmas greens. No trace of them was found until Susan's body was picked up Sunday'near Camas, a few miles upstream from here.

Monday Virginia's body was found floating against the spillway gates above Dam--40 miles upriver from Portland. The bodies of two of the Martin girls have been found in the Columbia. Sought no)V are those of Mr. and Mrs. Martin and the third daughter, Barbara.

Sheriff Rupert Gillmouthe of Hood River said he believed Hendricks Cove, used as a log mooring basin, was the most likely place for the Martins' red and white station wagon to be found. A CAR could be forced from the Columbia River Highway, across the Union Pacific railroad tracks and into the river at that point, the sheriff said. He added that this could well have been the result of a hit-run accident. The body of Susan Martin, 10 years old when she and other members of her family vanished from their Portland home Dec. 7, was recovered from near Camas, Sunday.

On Monday the body of her sister, Virginia, 12, was found lodged against Bonneville Dam. Identification of both girls was made by the family dentist from fillings in their teeth. The finding of Virginia's body concentrated the search above Bonneville Darn. Chief Deputy Ard Pratt said at Portland he was working with Gillmouthe today and the Corps of Engineers was joining in a conference over river currents which might lead back to the car. KLICKITAT and Skamania county sheriffs also were at work today, checking possible areas near Wind River and the Little White Salmon River on the Washington side of the Columbia.

The Columbia has been rising in its annual spring freshet. This, Gillmouthe taid, possibly caused the Marlon car to roll, a window to be broken and the bodies of the girls lo be released. Six Die in Gravel Pit HEYWORTH, 111! (AP) An after school boat outing on a flooded gravel pit turned to tragedy Monday when the craft capsized and a Heyworth couple and four of their-children drowned. Fisherman, who heard screams for help rescued a fifth child. He thought he had saved another, but she was dead when he reached shore.

Eisenhower declined to discuss this specific invitation to He said the reporter who brought up 'the matter was getting into a personal field. POLITICS The President said he hopes the I960 Republican presidential nominee will win even more votes in Southern states than he did in 1952 and 1956. He had been asked whether he thought Vice President Nixon or New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller could do as well as Eisenhower did in the South. The President touched off round of laughter by asking the reporter whether he had any candidates other than Nixon and Rockefeller.

There are other possible GOP candidates, Eisenhower said. FOREIGN AI-The President plugged anew for the administration's $3,930,000,000 foreign aid program. He' brought up that subject himself, and noted that hearings on the program are getting under way before congressional committees. The program, he said, is deserving of real support by everyone who is concerned with national security. It is not a partisan program, he added, but is based rather on need, logic and good cense.

Approval of the program, Eisenhower went on, would contribute to the free world battle to lessen international tensions, and would mean some advancement toward peace. Eisenhower was told there is some beief that he has been too timid in trying to develop support for the program. A newsman also said there is some belief that too much of the foreign aid money is being" earmarked for military assistance. Eisenhower replied that each time he has recommended an aid program it has been cut down by Congress. He also said a large portion of the military aid goes to help hold such places as Korea and Formosa.

Eisenhower also noted that a study committee he appointed had recommended that more money be set aside for military aid abroad.

But his voice was clear and vigorous. The Churchill wit was there. too. "I ALWAYS love coming to America, but I shal! not say--as most people who are traveling nowadays about the world seem to do--everything I think," he. remarked.

Eisenhower grinned, and the crowd laughed, at this apparent reference to another wartime figure. Lord Montgomery, retired British field marshal, criticized American leadership in a television program just before a recent trip to Moscow for conferences with Soviet i Nikita Khrushchev.

Itfl Discovery of the water- bleached body of Mack Charles Parker, of Poplarville, lynch victim, spurred the FBI to fresh efforts. Tuesday to find his kidnap-slayers. But, the Negro's body offered few clues to bolster the search after an FBI agent and a Mississippi highway patrolman dragged it from the receding waters Df the Pearl River near Bogalusa Monday. It did pin down fate of the 23- year-old Lumberton truck' driver who had been charged with the rape of a pregnant white woman. Since his abduction April 25, his violent death had been supposition and speculation.

The FBI in Washington confirmed identity of the body. J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director, had ordered a special hunt for Parker and his lynchers. THE FBI agent and his companion spotted the head, one arm and a shoulder above the water line in a drift three miles south of the Poplarville Bogalusa bridge across the Pearl River. Swirling currents lodged the body's left foot in the fork of a tree.

A log had rolled over the left leg and that hampered rescue efforts. The night raiders who dragged Parker from the Poplarville jail by his heels stripped Parker of all his clothes except an undershirt and a pair of shorts. The coroner at Bogalusa's Charity Hospital did not say how Parker died, except to report a bad spot on the right side of the head. NO ONE attempted to estimate how long the body had been in the water. The body had been bleached until it was impossible io'tell if it was Negro or white.

The FBI made its identification by the fingerprints of the right hand. A gang of eight or 10 men wearing masks and white gloves broke into the Poplarville jail, about 20 miles-'from here, midnight April 25, savagely beat Parker, dragged him screaming down the steps from, his third- story cell and threw him into a waiting car. Fellow prisoners said he yelled he was innocent as the men took him from the jail.
