The 81-year-old Hoover testi fied he was certain "these dis sents are based upon misimpres sions" of the proposal. He added would "certainly welcome any other effective methods" to reduce the Presidential work load. Hoover appeared before a Senate government operations subcommittee as it started" a search for wcys of lightening Presidential burdens as the aftermath of President Eisen hower'l heart attack last Sept. There has been some specula tion that Eisenhower's, decision whether to run again might partially influenced by the extent to which the duties could lessened. But Sherman Adams, the President's chief deputy, wrote Subcommittee Chairman Kennedy (D.

Mass.) "While the experience of this Administrationhas not brought light such question! requir ing the services, of an Administrative Vice President such as suggested by President Hoover, I know of no objection which woultd have if the Congress should decide to make such an office available to. the.

President Eisenhower a 1 opened today in Federal District Court in San Francisco with dispute between Chessman's lawyers and attorneys for the state.

Georie T. Davis, one of Chessman's lawyers, objected when Deputy State Atty. Gen William Bennett moved for the admission as state w-counsel of J. Miller Leavy, deputy district attorney of Los Angeles Leavy prosecuted Chessman in his original trial. Davis said Chessman's charges! against Leavy were of such serious nature that it would raise ethical as well as legal problems if Leavy is allowed to join the state side.

He noted that Leavy is to be called as an ad verse witness. NO AUTHORITY CITED Bennett replied r'that Davis had cited no legs authority for barring Leavy and said he Leavy's presence to as sist the state in preparation of its defense against Chessman appeaL Judge Goodman agreed with Bennett, saying he knew of no rule to bar the state from having Leavy as a co-eounseL and overruled Davis. The judge denied a request by Davis that the shorthand notes of Chessman's original trial be photostated at government tx- pense. Goodman also retracted his order of last week which de clared Chessman a pauper. He noted -that 100 had been deposited with the court clerk for payment of the cost of Chess-man's appeaL "Thereiore, Chessman is longer a pauper," the judge said.

"He has some funds. Chessman, wearing a gray flannel suit, a white shirt and a neat patterned, tie, sat un shackled at the counsel table with Davis and his other attorney, Rosalie Asber. Chessman, 34, was manacled hand and foot when he arrived at the court in the Post Office Building. ZS WITNESSES said 'he may call as1 many as 23 witnesses, Including Chessman. Bennett said the state will call only four ar five witnesses.

If Judge Goodman grants the writ, the State may appeal the decision or rearrest Chessman and order a retrial on the 17 (charges of kidnaping) robbery. sex perversion, attempted rape! nd grand theft against him.
