COURIER NEWS PAGE THRE1 Mid-South Solons Say Ike's Speech Generally Good But Most Adopt and Set' By GORDON' BROWN WASHINGTON and Representatives from Arkansas, Louisiana anil Mississippi found President Eisen bower's State of the Union message "generally good" but most of them adopted a "wait and see" attitude on specific points. Sen. Eastland ID-Miss), while terming the talk "a very tine address," called it Eisenhower's "announcement for President In 1956." Rep. Trimble (D-Ark) said he thought the address was "a good Roosevelt-Truman speech." Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark likewise found the President's foreign policy statements "good Democratic doctrine." Comments of Congress members from the three states included: Sen.

Ellender (D-La): "When the President states that farm conditions are improving he is indulging in wishful thinking. In view of the fact that he apparently wants to give the farm bill 'be passed lust year a chance, it would be futile for Congress to attempt to change it. However, efforts will be Sen. McClellan (D-ArkI: "In terms of its generalities it was very good. It contained nothing dynamic.

Like all State of the Union messages It needs amplification." No Time for Reducing Sen. Stennis (D-Miss): "1 agreed with his military program and think he should push it. If his mill tary reductions are the result of mechanization they will be justified but this is no time for a reduction in our strength." Fulbright: "I agree with his foreign policy it is good Democratic doctrine. Generally speaking, a good program but I am not ready yet to comment on specific details." Rep. Brooks Hays (D-Ark): "I found little with which I take issue I look forward to later details.

It wV.s an excellent statement of his record of (he past two years for which he rightly claimed credit." Rep. Abernetliy iD-Missl: "The American farmer is the only man who can complain it offered something for everyone but him." Rep. Boggs ID-La): "It covers the water front. We will have to wait for his specific message on domestic policy. His comments on national defense and foreign policy were excellent." Rep.

Brooks (D-La): "It was a Mother Hubbard type of speech- it covered all the subjects. I am especially pleased that he referred to the need for setting forth a water conservation policy. On the defen.se program I want to listen to all evidence before I go along with any reductions." Discouraged Rep. Smith (D-MissI: "The President's statement of foreign policy objectives was reasoned and temperate. He is entitled to bipartisan support in the efforts to meet these goals.

I am discouraged at the failure to offer any new ideas in the way of a farm program." Rep. Whitten (D-Miss): "He promised something for everyone but the farmer. Apparently he still be- Hves that lower prices will help the farmer. He still is wrong." Rep. Harris (D-Ark): "He now has made a formal announcement for 1956.

And now we know what 'moderate progressive' means. Under Rgosevelt it was the New New Deal; under Truman the Fair Rep. Winstead (D-Miss "On the whole he made a good general speech. I disagree with him on some points. we must wait for later messages on specific points.

Rep. Conner (D-Miss): "It was about what was expected. It dealt largely with generalities. On the whole It was a little to the left or center." 9 Children Crushed MEXICO CITY Someone cried "Fire" during a children's matinee at the Colonial Theater yesterday at Apiia-scallentes, 250 miles north of here.
