Soviets Determined To Rule World, Declares President WASHINGTON.

Nov. 23. UFi President Eisenhower said today the greatest mistake Amer ica could make would be to lose sight of Russia's quest for world revolution and domination. His statement at a news conference was in reply to a question as to whether there is any real indication that the Soviet talk of peaceful coexist? ence means a basic change in attitude. Eisenhower said Russia lately has been talking in a somewhat, different tone apparently meaning less belligerently.

But everything he has ever read abowt the communists makes it clear that their ultimate objective is world revolution and domination of a centrally controlled state, the President added. FEARS EXPRESSED Eisenhower's discussion of the international situation was touched off by a request for comment on fears expressed by Senator Knowland of California, the Senate Republican leader, that Russia is promoting a policy of peaceful coexistence as a Trojan horse to lull the United States into a false sense of security. Eisenhower said you have to distinguish between peaceful coexistence and just coexistence. And, he said, he wanted to emphasize that there is no tendency on the part of the United States to take anything for granted in connection with relations with Russia. NATION ALERT He aaid this country will remain alert, vigilant and strong.

I A reporter asked Eisenhower for comment on "the propriety of Knowland's publicly ques tioning Administration foreign policy. The President laughed and told the newsman he must have spent most of the morning think ing that one up. Then he said that under the Constitution the President is charged with the conduct of foreign affairs, and the Secre tary of State is his chief aide in that field. That was as close as Eisenhower came to saying what he thoueht of the propriety of Knowland's statements. Later in the news conference, a reporter asked Eisenhower whether the Senate majority leader, who is elected by party members in the Senate, is not a Senate agent rather than a representative of the executive branch.

Eisenhower replied he thought that was so. The President said he tries Continued Page Cat 1 Tip Narrows terday. Brierly said it is only a matter of time until the raid car is found.

The factory has been contacted for names of dealers in the Eastbay, and the lot num ber on a can left near the statue may help to disclose the pur chaser, Brierly said.

Meanwhile the role of Jack Hendrickson, publicity man, in the investigation was somewhat clarified as he underwent a lie detector test for more than an hour yesterday. Brierly said the test indicated conclusively that Hendrickson did not participate in the smear ing of the bust.

The U.N. Political Committee todav unanimously pproved President Eisenhower's atoms -for-peace plan. This was the; second unani mous decision by the U.N. dur ing the current session of the 60-nation General Assembly. The U.N.

previously had agreed without a dissenting voice on a plan of work for the Disarma ment Commission. The votecame after Russia tried unsuccessfully to write into the plan a provision mak ing the proposed international atomic agency subject to the big power veto. ALL FOR PLAN Only the five Soviet bloc nations supported the Russian move and 12 nations, mostly Asians and Arabs, abstained. All delegations, however, supported the plan in its entirety after the amendments were defeated. Main points of the plan as approved: 1 Gives U.N.

approval to the establishment of an international agency to further the peaceful uses of atomic energy. This was first proposed by President Eisenhower last Dec. 8. 2-Calls upon the U.N. secretary general to arange for an international scientific conference on the peaceful uses of atomic energy before next August.

RESULT OF PARLEYS The unanimous vote was largely a result of private ne gotiations between chief U.S. Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and the late Soviet deputy for eign minister Andrei Y. Vishin sky, who died yesterday.

Just before the vote, the Big Three Western delegates had ap pealed to Soviet Delegate Arkady A.

tJi Argentina's two cardinals and 11 bishops have told President Peron they are astonished and filled with "intense grief" over his charges that Roman Catholic clergymen are trying to undermine his government. This was disclosed today with release of a letter from the episcopate of this predom inantly Roman Catholic country to Peron, who accused three bishops and 21 priests in a speech on Nov. 10 of interfering in politics, trying to infiltrate labor organizations and working against his regime. Since then seven priests have been arrested and two sentenced to five days' imprisonment for creating disturbances. LIKENED TO HITLER The seventh to be arrested was the Rev.

Rodolfo Carboni, who charged from his pulpit here on Sunday that Peron's government was using Hitler's tactics. His charge touched off a melee in which three women were injured slightly. The letter to Peron was signed by Santiago Luis Cardinal Co- pello, the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Antonio Cardinal Cag- giano, the Archbishop of Ro sario, and 11 bishops. 1 It was delivered to- Foreign Minister Jeronimo Remorino yesterday for presentation to Peron. At the direction of the presidential press office the Ar gentine press ignored it in this morning's editions.

The letter said that since Argentina was founded it al ways has counted on' the con tribution of the church toward its moral and spiritual great i ness tne nation nas seen ae velopment in its religious and cultural life in an atmosphere of peace which-is necessary al ways for the good of the spirit and the tranquility of the pop- tulace."
