The talks "between President: Eisenhower and Australian prime; Minister Robert G. Menzies wercj expected to lake up in detail the touchy question of the Quemoy and Matsu islands off the China coast. Top defense and diplomatic aides to both men were to sit in on the meeting and also attend a White House lunch. Tvienzies made it clear in advance that Australia believes! Formosa should be kept out Communist hands.

He also came out for a stout Allied defense system in the Asian Pacific area, and for the free world to hang oni to its atomic superiority over the' Soviet Union. But the prime minister has let it be known Australia would hate to the Quemoy and Matsu islands, coveted by the Reds a held by the Nationalists, be the! cause of war in the Far East.

Not in years has the capital, seen a political maneuver so quickly organized and effected as Thursday's on the subject of Mrs: Eisenhower's health. Republicans individually and in groups mauled Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul M.

Butler for a news conference suggestion thai her health was one reason Mr. Eisenhower would run again. Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr.

(R- former speaker and now Republican House leader opened the attrack which continued throughout Thursday. It became a bitter, personal assault on Butler, whose character and conduct were shredded in angry debate. "J- a i irresponsible: scoundrel; low" animal in human' form," were some of the Republican bouquets for Butler as mem-' bers addressed the House and Senate in angry terms. Astonishing' to many in Washington was the scope and vigor of the Republican rebuke. It scarely, coukl have been less than inspired and organized by someone, al-' though over a period of 20 years, members of Franklin D.

Snyder: "There is no illness." Butler took the abuse in explaining that he merely had re; ferred to published reports as to' Mrs. Eisenhower's health in rela-; tion to 1956 politics. He recogniz-i ed the outcry as symptomatic of; Republican desire to renominate Mr. Eisenhower. "If their the Republican purpose is to persuade Mr.
