A tumultuous ovation greeted Eisenhower as he appeared at a victory rally a few minutes after his opponent Adlai Stevenson conceded defeat arm sent Eisenhower "warm congratulations." The 66-year-old President had scored a great triumph in a career marked by triumph, by rolling up a bigger victory over Stevenson than he did in 1952. And Eisenhower told a Republican party celebration at the Sheraton-Park hotel at 1:45 a.m.: "I think that modern Republicanism has now proved itself.

And America has approved of modern Republicanism." Eisenhouer's talk was made to a wildly cheering crowd of about 2.000 party faithful in the hotel ballroom and to a nationwide televisi6n and radio audience. He said he anted to make a pledge, and then on to say: "With whatever talents the good God has given me and with whatever strength there is in me. I will continue-- and so will my associates--to do just one thing: to work for 168 million Americans here at home and for peace in the world."

Eisenhower associates sensed early that he was going to win 1 But even after the result became certain, Eisenhower deferred his ballroom appearance until he received word that Stevenson had conceded.

When uord of that concession reached the crowd in the ballroom three floors below the presidential suite a joous shout went up. A few minutes later Eisenhower and his party appeared. Time and again he stepped forward on the stage to acknowledge the applause and cheers. Time and again both arms went above his head, outstretched in his familiar campaign salute. At his side was Mrs.

Eisenhower, radiant with an armful of oink roses. With them were Vice President Nixon, also re-elected, and lis i the Eisenhowers' son and Maj. and Mrs. John Eisenhower; and the First Lady's mother Mrs. John S.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON W--President Eisenhower today called congressional leaders of both parties to a White House meeting Friday for discussion of steps toward creation of a lasting peace in the Middle East.

Eisenhouer's press secretary, James C. Hagerty, said the conference also would deal with the situation in Central Europe. That would include the picture in Hungary and Poland.

Asked that session would deal with this country's role regarding a United Nations police force for the strife-ridden Middle East, Hagerty replied: "I think that would be a fair assumption." He said it already as been made clear in the United Nations that the United States will not contribute any troops. Hagerty said this country's role will be confined to i with transportation, and other supply and measures. The Friday morning conference of Democratic and Republican congressional leaders will provide Ei- senhovyer with his first opportunity to review the situations in the Middle East and Central Europe with them.

Those Speaker invited include Sam Rayburn (D-Tex), House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass), Senate Republican Leader William Knowland (Calif), and Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson (Tex).
