Ttaus.nd, oJ tourists, newsmen By RAYMOND LAHR WASHINGTON (UP) Democrats bombarded President Eisenhower today with a stcpped-up attack intended to keep him and not his advisers in their gunsighta for the 1956 campaign.

The cannonade was led by the old "give 'em hell" campaigner, lOrmcr President Truman. He called Mr. Elsenhower a "do-nothing president" guilty of "political betrayal" ot the farmers. Chairman Paul M. Butler of the Democratic National Committee chimed in saying he is shocked that the President--now in Augusta, "off on another golfing holiday in the midst of the Middle East war crisis." Butler concentrated on attacking Mr.

Eisenhower as a "part-time president" and-adminislration foreign policy. Mr. Truman's and other Democratic attacks centered on the farm issue, which is stirring up discontent in the normally- Republican farm belt. Pnrly Managers Worried Confident Republican Party managers stuck to their belief that 'arm unrest would not "rub off" on Mr. Eisenhower.

But they were worried that it would raise a serious threat to their drive to regain control of Congress. Republicans worried when the Minnesota and Wisconsin primaries reflected farm dissatisfaction wilh the administration found solace in the results from this week's Illinois primary. They intcrprcled the returns lo show a normal Republican vole in Ihe downstate Illinois counties where the farm vole is V-isser and (up) Israc charged that four Egyptian jot lighters invaded Israeli territory and TMKaged in dogfights wilh Israeli interceptors.

Kill Boys In Synagogue The air raid came at a time when Jewish feeling against the Arabs was at its highest because of a series of Egyptian commando iaids against schools and syna gogues deep inside Israel. Three Israeli boys and their teacher were killed in a synagogue Wednesday night while praying A total ol 18 persons were injured in the raids, 5 of (hem schoolboys nit by a burst of commando torn-' mygun fire in (he synagogue Israel had called this open invitation to war." But the attack by Egyptian jet fighters even more serious.

The planes were twin-jet British made craft not those supplied by the Communists since tha Palestine front flared up a week ago-- lent new urgency to the peace mission of U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskj'old, now Cairo. Hammarskjold's mission was re-ported being 'made more Egyptian insistence that any agreement to -end border tension be a- purely local one "without' political overtones" and.

within the framework of the present trues machinery. Observers said that meant Egypt did not want a general overall Mid-east settlement now. Charges Murder and Sabotage Israel was particularly bitter about the submachine attack on the roomful of children. The Israeli Foreign Office said Egypt had answered Hammar- skjoJds peace appeal with vicious and calculated renewal of aggression." The attack that killed three boys and their teacher was one of a series carried out deep In Israel by a roving band of commandos who attacked two passenger buses with grenades and made isolated ailacks on Israeli settlements. Eighteen persons were wounded the attacks, five of them schoolmates of the slain boys.

Israel Enraged Israel was particularly enraged jecause Cairo radio had lounced only shortly before that he the do-or-die commando groups were being withdrawn from Israel. Cairo said tha groups were ordered into action reprisal against Israeli shelling ot Gaza villages. Hammarskjold was in Cairo vhere he expected to confer today vith Foreign Minister Mahmound siwzi.
