Congress Gets His Economic Plans WASHINGTON UP President Eisenhower predicted Thursday that the United States will have "high and satis factory" employment and production under a Government program geared for "long-term economic growth" in 1955. He presented to Congress an optimistic economic message, de daring that the nation has made the "transition from contraction to recovery" by pulling out of a "mild and brief" business slump last year. The "vigor of the recent he said, "suggests that economic expansion will probably continue during coming months." "With wise management," he said, this drive can carry the nation to a 500-billion-dollar production level within the next 10 years, compared to a current an nual level of about 360 billions. BUT THE President tempered his optimism with a warning that the nation must "keep a close watch on financial developments" an obvious reference to the recent stock market boom. He said "continued economic recovery must not be jeopardized Ike asks study of private pension plans.

For tiio Democrats, House Speaker Rayburn, of Texas, agreed that "good times" are ahead if the Republicans don't upset "the laws we (the Democrats) passed in the previous 18 years." The message spelled out for Congress Mr. Eisenhcwer's for keeping the economy on a steadily expanding course. A large part of the program already has been outlined in his State-of-the-Union, budget and foreign trade messages.

Report Ike Weighs Plea To Congress Dulles Urges Quick Formosa Pact OK WASHINGTON AP President Eisenhower was reported Thursday night to be considering asking Congress for special authority to use United States naval and air power to help evacuate Chinese Nationalist troops from some islands along the Red China coast if necessary. These troops would then be deployed elsewhere for the defense of Formosa and the Pesca dores, which the United States Is committed to help Generalissimo Chiang: Kai Shek hold against the Chinese Reds. Meanwhile prompt Senate ratification of the Formosa defense treaty was urged Thursday by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. He told Congressional leaders it would remove any doubt from Chinese Communist minds about this country's determination to defend the island. Dulles argued that approval of the pact would contribute to sta bility in the Far East, where the Nationalist planes bomb Red ships in Tachens area, rage 21.

Chinese Communists and Nationalists are now engaged in open warfare. TWO CONGRESSIONAL lead ers, who stipulated that they not be named, said if the President decides to ask the evacuation authority, he might make the request by Monday. There was some talk he might make it personally to a joint session of Congress. One consideration is reported to that if United States naval and air forces swung InYo an evacuation operation, the Chines Reds might conceivably attack thein. The President, some sources said, would want Congress and the country thoroughly appraised of that possibility.

Tiiet what islands would be evacuated presumably would be determined by military aeveiop mnts Dulles and Adm.

He declared a state of siege throughout the country.

Several men vere killed or wounded in a brief battle at th airport, the Government said. Press censorship was imposed. The President said the state of siege, a modified form of martial law, was declared In order to snuff out the seditious elements which staged the attack. The Government said it in control of the situation. was CASTDLLO ARMAS said 1C persons were killed, an undeter- mined number wounded and 100 Jailed in connection with the '( revolt, which he attributed to Communists.

He said Francisco Cosenra was one of the rebel leaders. 1 Cosraza, a former ambassador i to Italy, recertly returned here. He was arrested upon his return but was released. Castillo Armas said the conspirators had been holding meetings for some time and apparently had planned to capture military installations, principally Aurora Airport and the Guardia de Honor Barracks. He said the Communists remained in the background but apparently instigated the uprising.

The outbreak was the biggest blow yet attempted to unseat Astillo Armas, who seized power in June when his irregulars from Honduras drove out the Red-supported regime of Jacobo Ar-benz Guzman in a 11-day inva sion. Cosenza was reported to be a friend of Arbenz. THE PRESIDENT said Thurs-day night his Government had knowledge of several trips by the plotters to countries where exiles of the overthrown Arbenz regime are living and that undoubtedly the coup was planned with the exiles' help. Those implicated, he added, included civilians and disgruntled military men. No high officers under his Government were among the plotters, he asserted.

Castillo Armas was en route to Monte Rico Beach, 60 miles from the capital, for the week end when he first heard about the conspiracy. He returned to the presidential mansion about 2 p.m., half an hour or so after shooting broke out at the airport. ARMY AND police patrols were thrown about the capital and strategic centers. Guards with steel vests took up positions around the presidential mansion. At 6 p.m.

a special Cabinet meeting was called and it de clared a state of siege. The President said many volunteers who took part in his "liberation army" against Arbenz had offered their services and that calm reigned in the rest of the country.

O'Brien also denied a statement attributed to State Police Capt. Joseph Crescio that Cres-cio wanted to lead five men in an attempt to flush the convicts from their beleaguered citadel.

The Boston Traveler quoted convict leader Theodore (Teddy) Green as renewing in a tele phone interview the rebels' demand for "a car and a clear road" to escape. The other rioters are Fritz Swenson, a murderer; Walter Balben, and Joseph Flaherty, armed robbers. Extension Of Seaway Here Urged Detroit River, Lakes Would Be Deepened BY JAMES M.
