WILSON United Press Correspondent G Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower is maneuvering to seize the political offensive from Democrats in the 84th Con gress and to keep it as the session un folds. The Eisen hower fan club around town is betting on Ike. The E-F-C . , . is prejudiced Itfle C- Wilson and their bets don't guarantee that the Presi dent will get away with it But is is a ,$act that Mr. Eisen hower is adjusting himself to big league politics. The magazine 'VNewsweek" in its Jan. 10 issue . fiasa run down on White House politics devoted largely to iden tiliying and estimating and horsepower of the President's political advisers. The magazine quotes an unidentified Republi can veteran like this: "Ike's , a natural-born politi cian potentially as good as Franklin D.o Roosevelt. He gets along with people instinctively."

He left the Air O Force amid charges that he had given secret Air Force infor- omation to the committee. 0 Walters has said he will not o employ anyone who "pilfers' information from government secuiflty files. Hungary Asked For Field Report Washington ftJ.R) The United States has asked Hungary for an" official statement on re ports that Americans Noel and Herta Field have sought asylum in the Red nation, informed sources said today. t ': The sources said Hungary has not vet replied to the United States, but oan answer is ex pected soon. o . The request is a further move to clear ub the mystery-shroud ed case of the Field family 3 whose members dropped behind the cron Curtain and out of sight in 1949 and 1950, not to be heard from again until late last year. Noel's brother, Herman spent 1 five years in a Polish prison and was released last October. pA foster daughter of Noel and Herta.

Practice is quickening Mr. Eisenhower's political reflexes. Go for 'Little Man' a presidential decision now fixed firmly past all modifica tion is that the Republcain party must make a more direct appeal to the so-called little man. That was FDR's major stock in trade and his most valuable asset. Mr, Eisenhower plans to make it his asset, too. ; FDR told millions that they were "ill-housed, ill-fed and ill- clothed" and kept right on punching with promises to do things big and immediate about it. Former President Harry S Truman, probably the best poli tician ef the lot, carried on like wise, but slugging where FDR daintily boxed. Mr. Eisenhower is more in the Roosevelt pattern, a charmer with a smile plus determination to persuade some millions of lit tle fellows who marched under the Roosevelt and Truman ban ners that they would be better off now in the Republican pa rade. That will be quite a chore because Mr. Eisenhower also is committed to a comparatively sound or nard m o n e y pro gram designed to check inflation and to an agricultural policy President Jose A. Remon today reported growing indications his assassins were "triggermen" sent here from abroad, possibly by the Communists. The National Assembly has proclaimed a 10-day "state of siege" modified martial law to aid the investigation and more than 30 persons are under arrest, but the identity and motives of the tommy-gun slayers are still a mystery. The entire. National Guard (army) has been alerted for a possible revolutionary attempt, but no disorders have been re ported in the country since the slaying Sunday night. Spokesman Blames Reds In New York, Ernesto de la Ossa, head of the Panamanian delegation to the United Nations, said Monday night he believed the assasination was "Commu nist inspired." He told a radio reporter that Remon was "a vig orous anti-Communist in a coun try high on the Communist tar get list" and "I would bet my life it was a Communist plot." Reports that a "mysterious "gun moll" gave the signal for the shooting led to the errest of two Panamanian women", Thel ma King and.Olga Yanis. So far nothing has been proved against them except that both were on the scene and both were carry ing revolvers in their handbags. The two women had been known as supporters of ex-president Arnulfo Arias, arrested as a suspect, but both are said re cently to have switched their al legiance to the relatively un known PRI party. Leader in Honduras Norberto Navarro, principal leader of the PRI, has been liv ing in Honduras for some months, but he came here for the Christmas holidays. The lack of revolutionary ac tivity weakened the presumptive case against Arias, whose only likely motive for engineering the -assassination of Remon would be to try to seize control of the government. Authorities here are leaning more and more to the theory that the killing was an "outside job." if only because of the cool ly professional way in which it was carried out. They doubted that any of Panama's known op position gunmen would have been capable of such efficiency. Remon was killed in the bar at the Juan Franco racetrack, where he was celebrating the victory of one of his horses in a Sunday race.

But watch for the President's recommendations for higher minimum wages, extended So cial Security, government aid in housing, federal support of medi cal insurance and .such-like. Most of these in their infancy were the . bright banners of FDR's New Deal. As party builders and vote-getters they have proved out. Needs Catch Phrase The President has not yet come up with a catch phrase comparable to New Deal or Mr. Truman's Fair Deal. Mr. Eisen hower's best to date is moderate progressivism which has no po litical sex appeal at all. But the phrase may yet come. His catch phrase used to be Middle of the Road. The new one suggests a shift toward an area FDR. used to call just left of center. All of this annoys the right wing Republicans in Congress, which seems not to disturb Mr. 3S ' ft with Every SOFA PEP lyx sCn-V. '.tr?-: .

Of members of Congress, perhaps Rep." Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind.) has the best in. Halleck was House floor leader in the expiring 83rd Congress. Judgment varies as to who is actually No. 1 White House adH visor. This correspondent would nominate JUilton Eisenhower, the President's younger brother, a New Dealer' during FDR's re gime and now president of Penn sylvania State College. Although he gets relatively little, conservative advice from Republicans in Congress, Mr. Eisenhower gets a lot of it from past and present associates in and out of the cabinet. He ac cepts some of it, too. But for the long haul, the President is at tempting to make the Republi can party fast to new political moorings.

Ail ing Pope Pius XII suffered a return of his hiccups last night and his doctors have warned him again against overwork. The papal physician,' Dr. Ric cardo Galeazzi-Lisi, told 'the 78-year-old pontiff he. must get more rest. Vatican sources said today. - The sources said the Pope has insisted on performing an in creasing number of church ac tivities despite warnings from all five doctors treating him. They have told the Pope . over work will halt his slow march toward recovery from his near fatal collapse of Dec. 2. Vatican quarters emphasized there was no special cause for alarm in the unexpected return of the hiccups. They said the basic danger to the pope this winter has been his tendency to consider him self stronger than he actually is. fo)(p (1 Tuetdty, JanutTy 4, 1935 .
