President Speaks of Peacei Politics at Press Session WASHINGTON (UP) Presi dent Eisenhower spoke today of peace and politics. He voiced hope that a trust could be developed among nations that would lead to more sincere ;ood faith and eventually real peace. That trust is not present now, the President .said. As for politics, Mr. Eisenhower told his news conference that he would not be as he put it forced into .running for a second term next year. He said that is a de cision he will make himself.

The ordinance, if adopted, would give the city administration au thority to sell any vehicle that has been abandoned in a public place for i!3 days. If a car is found left in a public street for three days, the police department could start impounding procedure by mailing a notice to the registered car owner. Ten days after the mailing no tice, the city would put an ad vertisement in a local newspaper announcing the sale. A week later. a second advertisement would bo published. - If nobody comes for ward to claim the car within three days after the second advertise ment, the car would be sold at public auction. The ordinance can not be final until it has passed on second read ing, which will probably be at the commission's July 20 meeting.

District Attorney; Asking Judge To Reconsider PORTLAND (UP) Multnomah County District Attorney William La ngley" yesterday filed a motion with Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dob son, asking him to reconsider his order of a new trial of Wey Him and Sherry Fong. A Circuit Court jury had con victed the Fongs of the first de cree murder of 16-year-old Diane Hank. Langley's office asked Judge Dobson to clarify two points: - 1. Did the court determine that there was insufficient evidence of defendants' guilt of homicide in 'iny degree, thus requiring dis missal of the action against the :U fendants? 2. Or did the court determine hut there was insufficient evi dence of expressed malice end premeditation so as to preclude t verdict of murder in the second degree or of manslaughter and for that reason ordered a now trial?

To tieneva With Hope The President said he will go to the Geneva Conference which begins July 18 in a very hopeful attitude. But he stressed that his hope must have greater food on which to nourish before it can be come expectation. He said the United States now is seeking to develop what he termed an interim trust among nations so that this step will lead to the mutual trust and faith that might culminate in peace and international disarmament. Mr. Eisenhower described heavy military spending as perfectly stupid, particularly when it is the hope of so much of the world that these weapons would not be needed for warfare. The President also dwelt on! these other subjects: "ther Subjects Military Reserves: He is hopeful that Congress will enact legisla tion creating a 2,900,000- man ready reserve force along the linen he has proposed. Minimum Wage: He still favors the administration's 90- cent- an- hour minimum wage proposal. He has never predicted one way or the other whether he would sign legislation calling for a $1 an hour minimum. The Senate has passed a $1 minimum. The House is con sidering proposals ranging from 90 cents to $1.25. Alert: He called a national emergency during the recent Civil Defense alert in which 53 major American cities theoretically were bombed and severely damaged because he did not learn until aft er the exercise started that so many cities were to be involved in the exercise. After the conference had been run for about 30 minutes, a re porter stood up and, almost plain tively, asked Mr. Eisenhower whatever had happened to the plan for an air-conditioned press conference room. Quite sympathetically the Pres ident said he had not realized that the site of his news confer ences, on the fourth floor of the old State Department building, was not air conditioned.

Counter-Plan On D-Y Made By President WASHINGTON (UP) President Eisenhower said today he would be willing to cancel the controversial Dixon-Yates project if the city of Memphis, Tenn. can go ahead with construction of its own power plant. Mr. Eisenhower told e. news con ference that Atty. Gen, Herbert Brownell Jr., and Budget Director Rowland Hughes are studying the feasibility and possible legal in volvements of the Memphis plan before the administration makes a final decision. i Use of FBI i Meanwhile, it was disclosed that Brownell had sent FBI agents to i Memphis to check on the city si power intentions. This prompted Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), a leading Dixon-Yates foe, to accuse the administration oJ( "shocking misuse" of the FBI. At today's news conference Mr. Eisenhower was questioned repeat edly about the role of investment banker Adolph Wenzell of the First Boston Cor. who was a consultant to the Budget Bureau prior to fi nal drafting of the Dixon-Yates contract.

Shrugs Oft Politics He asserted again today that he thinWi Wenzell's role was proper. He sfirugged off a capital hill sug gestion that this decision to re- stuAy the Dixon-Yates contract was : a . political victory for the Defnocrats and that he was back ing down.

They contented themselves In stead with a committee-approved proviso that the money would b- eliminated if Memphis docs carry out its announced plans to build its own municipal plant, A Justice Department spokes man revealed, meanwhile, that the FBI in Memphis has conducted a "fact-finding mission" to deter mine whether Memphis really In tends to build the plant. He said the information was sought by Atty. Gen.

Dr. Harris and Dr. Clarence Schrag signed a nine-point agree ment in which Harris said he agreed to "as fur as law would permit." There were two key provisions which the convicts said were most important. One was that the Board of Pris on Terms and Paroles "must be investigated by the state Senate or other competent authority for the reason tliut we (the prisoners) note a great dissimilarity be tween sentences established fot identical crimes committed in sim ilar circumstances." To this point Harris said, "I do not have the power to ask the Senate to investigate anything connected with the Borad of Pris on Terms and Paroles. However, I can recommend to the Department of Institutions to determine the length of sentences and I can report to the governor to look into the situation," he added. The second main point was that the Classification and Parole De partment "must be reorganized In order to assure thai in the fu ture men will not be retained be yond their release date because of official Incompetence or negli gence. Mr. Charles Simon should be relieved ponding a complete Investigation of tins department, (Simon is in charge of the ClasBl- 1 f Ication and Parole Department).
