Ike's Hopes Raise For Easing Tension By WILLIAM WASHINGTON (UP) day he believes that chances fears are better than he He told a news conference on what he had learned of versary meeting in San Francisco.

If there is a way to take the burden of fear off people, Mr. Eisenhower said, then we ought explore it.

He then said he personally lieves the chances for doing that are better than he thought they were two months ago. The President, like Secretary State John Foster Dulles Tuesday, seemed to discount the effect on the forthcoming Big Four meeting last week's U.S.-Russian plane cident off Alaska. Mr. Eisenhower said he is sure that the shooting down of a Navy patrol plane by two Russian Migs was a local occurrence and not matter of Soviet policy. He went to say that weather conditions the area were not good and that part of the incident was a misunderstanding.

He spoke to the specific point statement Tuesday by Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. (Tex) who praised the accomplishments of this session and the cooperation shown the administration by Democrats.

Mr. Eisenhower reacted with some heat. He whipped a folded sheet of paper from his inner coat pocket and said he just happened have a list of necessary legislawhich would indicate how much the fine cooperation was that he had received. Quickly and sternly he called the he said, there has been no roll of legislative fields on which, action. The President mentioned highway construction, the military manpower housing, health, schools, mutual security authorization, act amendments, water customs simplification, the minimum wage, the atomic "peace" ship, and Hawailian statehood.

The dramatic reversal, which came in a five-minute session shortly after Gov. George M.

Search Marked By Disasters GALBRAITH President Eisenhower said toof easing world tensions and two months ago. he based this at least partly week's United Nations anni- Just Joking, Ike Says of '56 Remarks By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer WASHINGTON (UP) -President Eisenhower said today that his remarks in New England about his 1956 political plans were made in a kidding nature. During a six-day tour of Vermont, New Mampshire and Maine which ended Monday, the President variously indicated--and usually in apparent jest--that he would and would not run again.

He was reminded of these teases at his news conference today, A reporter said that since Mr. Eisenhower apparently had his own moratorium on diseussion of his 1956 plans would he purgue the subject for the benefit of Washington reporters. Mr. Eisenhower said the assump-! tion that he had relaxed his desire to avoid discussion of his political future was incorrect. But he went on to explain his remarks in New England this way: When a man is going off to have a good time and people kid him a little bit, a man must answer in kind.

Explains With Question For example, he said at Concord, N.H., last week that people who want to know whether he will run again should ask instead how long it would take his assistant, Sherman Adams, to complete his series of daily lectures on the wonders of New Hampshire. The President said at the time that Adams did not seem to be more than a third of the way through. Today Mr. Eisenhower was asked whether Adams was going to be able to finish the lectures. Mr.

Eisenhower laughed and said that Adams, former New Hampshire governor and White House chief of staff, seems to be generating a very great capacity to do it in a hurry.

One Plane Vanishes, Helicopter Crashes YOKOSUKA, Japan (UP) A helicopter crashed today during the disaster-plagued search for three Marine fliers missing in the Pacific off Japan and the Navy announced that one of its four crew men is missing. It was the third disaster of the week.

On Sunday a fighter-bomber with two Marine officers aboard plunged into the sea off the mouth of Tokyo Bay. Tuesday a bomber of the vast search armadaling vanished in the mists over volcanic Oshima Island. A summer sun had burned away Pacific fog hampering hot, the search for three missing U.S. Marine fliers, but mounting seas and negative reports from search planes and ships dimmed hopes for their survival.

Mitchell said that if passenger trains are needed in the public interest, then the public should assist in carrying the cost "instead of forcing on the shippers of the nation the burden of paying the passenger By J. ROBERT SHUBERT PITTSBURGH (UP) David J. McDonald, president of the CIO United Steelworkers, said today "there is still ample time" to avert nationwide steel strike if the heads of six of the nation's biggest steel firms join the crucial wage negotiations.

McDonald called for a top-level bargaining conference as steel producers across the country slashed production schedules in preparation for a midnight Thursday strike deadline affecting 600,000 USW members. "There is still a ample time to conclude a settlement by genuine collective bargaining with the real people in authority," the union leader said. McDonald hurled bitter words at Clifford H. Hood, U.S. Steel president, who said Tuesday night the union had "no valid reason" for rejecting the corporation's offer of wage increases averaging more than 10 cents an hour.

If Hood were "participating in negotiations instead of spendhis time going over publicity releases in his headquarters, he would know that the steelworkers union is doing everything within power to avert a nationwide strike," McDonald said. Big Steel Main Target U.S. Steel, the nation's biggest producer and employes 150,000 USW members, has been the main target of the union's drive for higher pay because its settlements usually set the pace for the entire industry.

(UP) The prankish 40 and 8 Society and the giant American Legion appeared close to a parting of the ways today. Leaders of both groups indicated they welcomed a split. most The 40 colorful and 8, fixtures long of one any of the legion convention, was in open rebellion against the "dictators" of the American Legion.

J. Earl Simpson, national commander of the fun-loving group, predicted in Tulsa, that the 40 and 8 would vote to march away from the legion by "a huge majority" when the organization holds its convention in Miami Beach, Oct. 9. Meanwhile, national legion Commander Seaborn P. Collins indicated at his Las Cruces, N.M..

home that the auxiliary, was welcome to get out if it wants to. Collins expressed "regret" for the threatened split. But he compared the 49 and 8's 100,000 members with the legion's 2,800.000 and said the legion would send a separate 40 and 8 on its way with a "sincere wish for all possible Ill feelings between the two groups has been simmering for years. But it didn't break into the open on a national level until a secession resolution by the 40 and 8's national executive committee was revealed in the auxiliary's magazine here Monday. The specific grievances weren't spelled out, although Simpson charged that "the legion national executive committee had tried control our budget, tell us how to spend our money, and tell us whom we could take as members." Underlying the dispute appeared be the anger of World War I veterans at the new leadership and new ways of the legion.

They resented a recent ban on the 40 and 8's famous bucking jalopies, noisy locomotives, and prankish high junks at national legion convention parades. An Illinois legion official, state Commander Irving Breakstone, said that the 40 and 8ers were also angered at requests that they abandon their Caucasion membership policy. The 40 and 8 takes its traditions directly from the First World War and the majority of its members fought in France with the old American Expeditionary Force. The 40 and 8ers will remain legionaries, he emphasized, even though their society may not be able to survive as an independent group. a.
