"Mr. Eisenhower is a popular today as he ever was," Hall told a news conference yesterday. "'He will win as big in 1956 as he did in 1952.1 Hall said he is working as national chairman "on the assumption that Mr. Eisenhower will seek re-election next year." The President has not announced his intentions for 1956. Hall, who was in Chicago meeting of Republican campaign contributors, also said the Republicans will regain control of Congress next year.

THE EVENING SUN, HANOVER, PA. SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1955 Answer Is Given Khrushchev (From the Philadelphia Bulletin) If Russia is genuinely seeking "an honest agreement" at the coming Four discussions at Geneva, Nikita Khrushchev asserts, he should be well pleased with President Eisenhower's response to his surprising speech at the American Embassy in Moscow. Mr. Khrushchev. the American Fourth of July party, called on the west to "talk to us honestly and sincerely, as equal to equal." In reply, President Eisenhower told his press conference on Wednesday that the United States will go to the Geneva meeting with "very hopeful attitudes," and would "present our case in a conciliatory, in a friendly attitude: and we don't intend to reject anything from mere prejudice or truculence or any other lesser motive of that The sincerity of that promise was abundantly evident when he went on to discuss the difficulties that must be faced even when there the best of good will on both sides.

On the key question of disarmament, he said that the more one studies the question, "the more he finds himself in a sort of squirrel's cage, and at times has a feeling that he is merely chasing ducing armaments, he pointed Every plan of leveling off or comes eventually to the problem of enforcement, and that raises the question inspections to make sure that all parties live up to their agreements. But there is a question, too, whether inspections can be fully effective. And an equally grave question which demands to be faced honestly: "Are we ready." he asked. "to open up every of our factories, every place where something might be going on that could be inimical to the interests of someone else?" He did not answer the question, but the fact that he raised it should give evidence to the Russians that they will be dealing at Geneva with a man who is struggling honestly with the basic problems of achieving and preserving peace. Looking At Record (From the Washington Star) President Eisenhower strated a knowledge of the political workings of Washington when he told his news conference that "Congress, when it wants to, can do awful lot in a short time." His remark was the latest in the partisan exchange about the record of the present session up to now and about the Democratic target date for adjournment by the end of this month.

Actually, the score thus far offers promise that the session may be considered a constructive one-with credit enough Democratic leadership in the Capitol and a Republican administration in the White House. On foreign policy matters, the President already has fared well. The Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act has been extended; 10 treaties have been ratified, and Congress has authorized defense of Formosa. A program has been approved by both branches and its differences resolved in conference. On domestic legislation, partisan considerations have figured to a greater extent, but compromises may yet "save face" at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue.

The military reserve program -which the President described a9 "vital to all of us" -has been detoured around a House roadblock on the segregation question and has been passed by that branch. The Senate is expected to approve, and perhaps improve, this measure. The Senate has passed highway, housing and minimum wage bills more suited to Democratic tastes than to Republican, but further compropossible in the House. The atomic-powered "peace ship" -high on the President's list-has run aground, but may be refloated. There are other pieces of major legislation bogged down at one point or another.

But Democratic Speaker Rayburn has said, "we're going to have one of the best records of any Congress, and Senate Republican Leader Knowland has predicted a "pretty good batting average." Both probably will be able to stand by these forecasts the adjournment gaval sounds. LESS HEAT, MORE HUMIDITY LIKELY (Continued From Page One) Blairsville, Cresson, Huntingdon and State College.

Film Fare The World Today Russian Move Expected By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (P-Some of the best informed men in the government believe the Russians they meet President Eisenhower in Geneva 10 days from nowmake their most spectacular move on the issue of disarmament.

The Russians, think, will either offer new concessions or try to force the United States to do so. They have yielded more in the past few months than in the past 10 years. And Eisenhower, judging from his remarks at his Wednesday news conference, may be considering concessions. What he said sounded in a way like an echo of what the Russians said last May about inspection procedures. This is a quick history of the world disarmament problem in the past 10 years, telescoping the views of the Russians on the one side and the Western -the United States, Britain, and France -on the other.

The Russians' position until last May: 1. There must be an immediate end to making, atomic weapons; those now up must be destroyed. This was all to the advantage of the Russians when they had no atomic bombs and the United States had plenty. 2. The nations should reduce their armed forces on a percentage basis.

Since the Russians had the largest armed force, a percentage reduction would benefit them. 3. There could be no international inspection teams- as the West allowed in any country to see that it was not cheating on making atomic weapons. I This has been the Allied position: 1. No sudden disarmament, but a gradual one step-by-step until finally atomic weapons were scrapped.

The reason: To test the disarmament machinery and the sincerity of every country in living up to the agreement. 2. Armed forces reduced through a fixed limit, on their size, not on a percentage basis as the Russians wanted. 3. International inspection teams stationed in every big country full freedom check everywhere to see there was no cheating.

The two sides stuck to those positions for years. Suddenly on May 11 the Russians made a public anannouncement which startled the West: They were willing to agree to some of the West's demands, in part anyway. Two days later, May 13, the United States, Britain and France said they were still for unlimited right of international inspection teams to go where they wished and look at anything they wished in a country where they stationed. In explaining May 11 why they were against unlimited freedom for these teams, the said: "In the existing situation, when many states display legitimate concern for their security, difficult to expect that these states would trustfully give other states access to their industrial and other resources which are of vital importance for their security."

Amusements STATE THEATER "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild a full length, live-action adventure film in color and wide screen, produced by Walt Disney and starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen, will play the State Theater, Frederick Street, for four days starting next Wednesday. Directed by Norman Foster, the historical drama depicts the legendary life story of Davy Crockett from his young manhood in the backwoods of Tennessee, where he fought Indians under the command of General Andrew Jackson, through his political career as a canebrake legislator and U.S.

congressman, to his final days at the Alamo, where he met a patriot's fate with Colonel Jim and other heroic volunteers. "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" introduces a new star in the person of Fess Parker, who holds the title role. Parker originated the portrayal for three "Disneyland" productions, from which the motion picture is adapted. Co-star Buddy Ebsen, as Crockett's lifelong friend George Russel, heads a peerless cast that includes Basil Ruysdael, Hans Conried, KenTobey, William Bakewell, Mike Mazarki and Helene Stanley. Under the direction of Norman Foster, "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier" was filmed in actual settings throughout Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains.

A double-feature program has been booked for the State next Monday and Tuesday. One of the attractions will be "Seminole Uprising," outdoor drama starring George Montgomery. It is filmed in color and is based on Curt Brandon's best-selling novel, "Bugle's Wake." Karin Booth is featured in the picture, the story of an Indian war that took two years and 10,000 lives. On the same program will be "Cell 2455, Death Row," in which William and Robert Campbell are starred with Marian Carr and Kathryn Grant. The film tells how a hoodlum, convicted as Los Angeles' notorious Lovers' Lane Bandit, first became a criminal and how he used his self-taught legal knowledge to win stay after stay of execution, twice within minutes of the gas chamber.

PARK THEATER "Interrupted Melody" starring Glenn Ford and Eleanor will open a three-day engagement at the Park Theater, West Chestnut Street, next Friday. It is a lyrical love story based on the tic life of Marjorie Lawrence, famed opera singer who at the height of her career was stricken with infantile paralysis. It tells the inspired courage of the girl who refused to give up and who, aided by the devotion of her doctor-husband, continued to sing on the operatic and concert stage despite the fact she was, and is today, confined to a wheel chair. The new M-G-M picture was filmed in CinemaScope and color against a background of some of the world's greatest music. Arias from eight operas are heard, as well as a number of popular songs.

The operatic sequences include scenes, and arias from "La Trovatore," "Don Carlos," "Madame Butterfly, "Carmen," "Samson and Delilah," "Gotterdammerung" and "Tristan and Isolde." The magnificent though turbulent era when Spain knew its greatest power is revealed in "That CinemaScope production, which plays the park on Tuesday and Wednesday. Heading the cast are Olivia deHavilland, Gilbert Roland, Paul Scofield, Francoise Rosay and Dennis Price. Based on Kate O'Brien's best-selling novel and adapted from the Katharine Cornell stage play, "That Lady" relates the tragic but wonderful love story of the Princess Ana de Mendoza and Antonio Perez, state minister at the court of the sadistic and frustrated Philip II, with backgrounds for the film photographed in the true locales of the 16th century romance. Olivia deHavilland portrays, the one-eyed beauty, the royal court until she incurs the king's displeasure because of her illicit affair with his most trusted minister, played by Gilbert Roland. Roland 'co-stars as the dashing hero who proves equally at home facing the charge of a maddened bull or the wrath of a fanatic king.

Richard Conte stars as a newspaper columnist who exposes a gigantic charity racket in "The Big Tip Off," which plays the Park next Thursday. Constance Smith, Bruce Bennett and Cathy Downs have co-starring roles. 144 YORK COUNTIANS DRAWN ON JURY LIST (Continued From Page One) Altland, 313 Baer Avenue, and C. E. L.

Doug Robinson will be seen in this presentation as Lt. Roberts' conceited and lazy bunk-mate, Ensign Pulver, whose effort to distinguish himself results in the hilarious episode of his flooding the ship with soapsuds. Robert Herrman has been cast in the role of the sympathetic, sardonic ship's doctor, and James Eames will portray the tyrannical captain who almost succeeds in depriving Roberts of his dream getting into combat because, dues to his own incompetence, knows he needs Roberts to help him run his cargo-ship. Pete Putas, Chet Szajna and Joe Scappe will be seen as leaders of the hard-boiled crew of enlisted men. Terry Clemes will be seen as the only woman in the cast, an Army nurse, whose visit aboard the ship while anchored off a Pacific island, creates another of the many amusing incidents in which the play abounds.

"Mister Roberts" has been directed by Mr. William Putch, and its scenes aboard the old AK-601 have been designed by Tom Vawter.

Miss Hurley is following up her brilliant Metropolitan Opera debut of the past season. Instrumental star soloists of the Stadium week will be headed by the great Austrian violinist, Erica Morini, who will play the Wieniawski Minor Concerto on Thursday; and the brilliant American pianist Earl Wild, repeating his stadium successes of earlier years in the Gershwin Concerto and "Rhapsody" on Monday night's program The Wednesday evening concert will be in the nature of a concerto double-header, with the young Viennese pianist Robert Goldsand playing the Second Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto; and the young American violinist Jeanne Mitchell playing the Bruch Minor Violin Concerto.
