He recalled that at the time he announced for a second term he reported that his doctors felt he was able to carry on, and , that he himself had decided he was able to do so. Eisenhower added he had no Idea where reports he might re sign came from. The first question nut to Eisen. hbwer was a request for comment on his fast trip to Gettysburg last weekend. . .- A reporter told him the trip got a lot of attention because news men trying to keep up with his car were flagged down for speed ing.

He said that on the trip last Friday he was engaged in a 'con ference. Because of that, Eisen .hower said, he had no idea of his limousine's speed. The driver was a Secret Service man. Eisenhower went on to say he now has issued orders that his car should never exceed the speed limit at any place. ' Newsmen who accompanied Ei senhower last Friday reported his limousine hit 75 miles an hour at times. Nowhere along the '80 mile route does the speed limit permit more than 55 miles an hour.

"Werc going to make some re views," Rayburn told newsmen. "Whether we will act or not this year, I don't know. If there is a tax cut. Congress will make it and it's a Democratic Congress." Budget Cut Row Rages The tax deduction talk spread as arguments continued to rage over whether President Eisenhow er's $71.8 billion budget should be cut. In the midst of the arguments, the House made another siash in the $2.8 billion requested by Mr. Eisenhower to run the departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. By a vote of 162 to 140, the House eliminated all funds, $50 million, from a new federal pro gram to help states build sewage disposal plants. The house so far has cut a total of $68.4 million from funds for the two depart ments. - ' Treasury Undersecretary W. Randolph Burgess told the Senate Finance Committee that a cut of $2 billion to $3 billion would be "a sound thing." Contradicted by Ike . Mr. Eisenhower- contradicted him. The President,,' continuing to defend the size of his budget, told his news conference that a cut of as much as $2 billion in his spend ing program would impair nation al security. Later, in a speech to a Republi can women's conference, the Pres ident said that his budget is nec essary to pay the high cost of peace. He said Americans must "sacrifice" something for peace "so we won't have to sacrifice our sons." PaulBuriyaii In Lebanon? It Is said that mythical Paul Runynn and his blue ox.
