Eisenhower, who is ineligible for the job, said he would be glad to run as the vice presidential nominee on a ticket with any of the men who spoke. Richard M. Nixon, the 1960 presidential candidate who could be renominated, said he was sure the 1964 nominee was among those who spoke Wednesday night.

Eisenhower and Nixon, along with announced and prospective Republican presidential candidates, addressed 25,000 Republicans who paid $100 a plate to attend dinners in 21 cities tied together by dosed circuit television. Order of Speakers Those who spoke in this order were: Sen. Thurston B. Morton of Kentucky from Houston, Nixon from New York, Gov. Nelson A.

Rockefeller of New York from Los Angeles, Gov. William W. Scranton of Pennsylvania from Indianapolis, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona from Pittsburgh and Gov. George Romney of Michigan from Washington.

Eisenhower followed these speakers with a proposal for a for writing the 1964 Republican platform. He urged that Republican experts set up forums on a regional, state, county and precinct basis to talk issues to the voters. The ex-President also recommended that GOP national headquarters set up a suggestion center to receive voter comments on issues facing the country. worse off today than it was it was not as the four years negative party but by serving Nixon said Johnson offered i as the party of positive ac- ganization and the rest to state or local Republican organizations.

But it appeared that these efforts would be more difficult with Panama branding the United as an enemy.

Shortly before action, President Johnson called leaders of both parties in Congress to the White House for a briefing on the Panama situation. By then move had already been foreshadowed. It was understood Johnson called the meeting because he wanted legislators to know all the background of the impending development, particularly the details of what the United States had done and said in mediation talks. Panama wants the United States to agree in advance to negotiate revisions of the 1903 Panama Canal treaty. The United States agreed to all issues, the canal, but refused to commit itself in advance to treaty revision.

The peace committee appeared at times during the past week to be nearing an agreement to by-pass this deadlock, but its efforts were unsuccessful.
