allowed to exist on his footstool As such it is up to us to lead this world to a peaceful and secure existence and I assure you we can do it" In a plain effort to soothe some of the controversies boiling in this country and to quiet H-bomb nervousness abroad Eisenhower broke some new ground in this mainly off-the-cuff address delivered while relaxing against the edge of a desk the White House basement: He said the rather than congressional investigators is the the "great against Communist infiltration He said "very grave offenses" can be committed against innocent persons by having the immunity of congressional though he voiced confidence that in the long run public opinion "will straighten this matter out wherever and whenever there is real violence done to our people" Number Minute And he said that while Communists in this country are dangerous and must be pinpointed their number Is "minute" and is often exaggerated Actually he said there more than 25000 doctrinaire or dyed-in-the-wool Communists and "the great mass" of government workers and other Americans are "just as dedicated as you and On another home front topic he said unemployment "happily shows every sign now of leveling off" The government is ready to undertake anything necessary to prevent a depression he said but "does not intend to go into any slam-bang emergency program unless it is necessary" The great factor working for peace Eisenhower said is "economic weakness" compared with the mighty American industrial machine "Of all these sobering he said "none is greater than the retaliation that

Federal Power Commission (FPC) must fix rates for interstate sales of natural gas by companies which produce and gather it The issue arose when the commission after a lengthy hearing at Bartlesville Okla ruled 4-1 that it did not have authority to regulate sales by the Phillips Petroleum Co However thte US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed the commission and in a 2-1 decision ruled that the commission is required to fix prices by such firms as Itillips The FPC contended Phillips was not a natural gas company within the meaning of the Natural Gas Act and the commission thus had no jurisdiction over its rates Joining with Phillips in the appeal of the court of appeals ruling are Texas Oklahoma and New Mexico However the intervening parties and Michigan as well as Detroit Milwaukee and Kansas City and Wayne County claim Phillips is a natural gas company under the natural gas act and thus subject to regulation by the FPC US Intervenes Simon Sobcloff solicitor general for the Justice Department contended in a brief filed with the court that the purpose of the Natural Gas Act and its legislative history show that sales of natural gas by gatherers are intended to be exempt A brie filed by the Intervenors said that sales by Phillips occur after production and gathering have been completed and as a result Phillips should be regulated by the FPC The intervenors also contend that if Phillips is not regulated by the commission that prices will rise and it will cost consumers more for gas The intervenors say that Phillips is engaged in carrying natural gas from wells in Oklahoma Texas and New Mexico to 10 processing plants in Texas and New Mexico where hydrocarbons and other matter is removed Eisenhower to Attend Rivers and Harbors Meet WASHINGTON UP)

union reported for duty on the Tuesday morning shifts A company spokesman said that the first the company knew of the work stoppage was when long-distance operators scheduled to report at 7 am failed to do so riant and warehouse personnel scheduled to report at 8 am also failed to report as did union employes in the business office who normally go to work at 8:30 am When the workers arrived at the various offices they were greeted by other union members carrying signs saying "Union meeting now in Almost all of them went to the meeting which was held at Municipal Auditorium The Telephone company

said Company Issues Statement Meanwhile the telephone company said that it was manning its switchboards and other key positions with supervisory personnel who are not members of the union In a formal statement Sanders district manager for the telephone company said: "This work stoppage is apparently the result of the suspension of two employes for violating definite instructions and procedures The suspensions are for two days In order to provide uninterrupted service to the public by avoiding work stoppages such as this the contract between the telephone company and the union provides for definite procedures for handling greviences if the union does not agree with this action The union has chosen to call an unwarranted work stoppage contrary to provisions of the contract" Sanders said telephone service would be curtailed to somoi extent if the work stoppage continued He said dial telephones would not be affected but that he anticipated some restriction in long distance service during peak load hours Sanders could not give an exact figure as to how many union members were absent from duty lie said he would have to check with department heads The company's warehouses on Southern Avenue its office at 602 Crockett and its business office in the Sinclair Hotel were all affected by the work stoppage The Local has a membership of approximately 900 Sanders said that

lawyer and my ability to act fairly and what is most important my integrity" He concluded: "The test is not whether I am biased it is whether I am believed to be Reporters jammed the corridor outside

arranged to hold a news conference Sear Statement The statement from Scars handed out by Mundt read: statement is not an easy oiic for me to make Although I have referred in the pas' to the work Sen McCarthy has been doing and in favorable terms I am completely satisfied in my own mind that I am thoroughly competent to conduct the pending inquiry objectively impartially and in fairness to all It is not in my blood to do otherwise "However that is not the test "The Investigation must go forward not only with the full confidence of those involved but perhaps more important with the absolute confidence of the people At no time should there be an pppor tunity for anyone to feci that all the facts are not brought forward or that any material information is withheld "After a rather long conference with members of the subcommit tec and in fact prior to meeting them I have come to the resolute conclusion that I should not serve Allegations Unfounded "I do so only because I deem the hearing to be of the highest importance and would not want the credibility of the proceedings to be handicapped from the very outset by any alleged word deed or commitment that I might have uttered in the past "And so and In view of the discussion and controversy which followed my retention as counsel and of the allegations which have been made most of which are without foundation I believe it is in the public interest that I withdraw as counsel in this matter 'I should like to add a few words It is most gratifying to me that the subcommittee lias expressed the utmost confidence in me as a lawyer and my ability to act fairly and what is most important my integrity The test is not whether I am biased it is whether I am believed to be unbiased" GIs SEIZED From Page One went to the scene

failure to obtain H-bomb facts from the United States But other Conservatives hinted Churchill had just had too much needling from Laboritcs on this issue and let fly One Conservative members of Parliament who declined to be quoted by name told a reporter: "We were shocked and dismayed by the old tactics It may bring his resignation a day closer" May Quit In Summer There have been all that Churchill might resign this summer handing over the reins to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden Laborite Arthur Henderson a former air minister will ask the Prime Minister next Thursday to "state the government practice with regard to the public disclosure of secret treaties or secret agreements entered into by the British government" The nominally Independent but usually pro-Conscrvative Times of London said House of Commons debate on the hydrogen bomb "degenerated into a sterile angry and pitiful party and the responsibility was the Prime Resignation Foreshadowed The Liberal middle-road News Chronicle said the showing of the 79-year-old government chief in the House may foreshadow his early resignation from office something many observers have predicted would happen this year The bitter partisan fight in the wake of Sir Winston's charge generally obscured the action of the house which on a voice vote called on Churchill to take initiative" in seeking a face-to-face conference with Soviet Premier Malenkov and President Eisenhower Rut the Laboritcs did not challenge the government's stand that the timing of such an approach should be left to it Churchill put the House in an uproar with lus charge that it was the "responsibility or misfortune" of Attlee's 1945-51 government that a hitherto secret 1943 agreement for Rntish-Amorican atomic cooperation was no longer in effect Two-Nation Agency Under the accord reached at their Quebec conference in August 1913 Churchill and the late President Roosevelt set up the two nation agency for development of the atomic bomb and agreed that neither would use atomic weapons against a third nation without the otlier's consent Attlee seething with anger and backed by a continuous Labor chorus for Churchill to "resign!" replied that the wartime agreement hud been terminated by adoption in 1916 of flic McMahon Act which forbids sharing of atomic secrets with foreign governments Churchill snapped back that the author the late Sen Bricn McMahon (D-Conn) had told him later that the atomic secrets law would not have been written had he known of the secret agreement Attlee Churchill implied should have let McMahon know about the agreement In Washington the White House confirmed that the secret agreement had been made 1943 but emphasized it is "nut in effect at the present The Conservative Daily Telegraph called it pity" that Churchill "should have tried to iix the blame on Mr Attlee" tor postwar lapsing of the British-Amcrt-can atomic cooperation DEATHS JOE STOMA SR DE KIDDER Funeral services for Joe Stoma
