(U.PJ utive took a two-over-par six on National Golf club, and Charles Barking sea lions, foggy wea ther and erratic iron shots com bined Saturday to give President Eisenhower a hard time of it on the golf course. The chief executive summed up his feelings as. he hit his first drive high in the air from the first tee of the Cypress Point course beside the Pacific ocean. "That," said the President, "was a louse." Embarking on his second full 18-hole round since his June 9 ileitis operation, the chief exec- IKE'S FIRST CALLER As Republican National Conven tion in San Francisco started its windup, first caller on President Eisenhower, right, at his hotel suite was Re publican National Chairman Leonard W.

Jones of Los Angeles, presi dent of the Richfield Oil Co. Mr. Eisenhower's doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard Mcc. Snyder, said the chief executive stood up well under his first round which he played yesterday. "He's looking right as far as I can see," Snyder said. "He came in without being fatigued after 18 holes Friday and that is all right." The President looked sleepy- eyed as he emerged from the residential section of the Cypress Point clubhouse shortly after 9 a.m. While waiting for his four some to assemble, he hit a num ber of practice shots while his caddy, Turk Archdeacon, re trieved the balls. As the President tried a num ber of different clubs, he kept up a running commentary on his golf and the local surroundings. At one point, he stretched out his arms and said to his press secretary, James C. Hagerty, "one day like this and you're full of joints." Sea Lions Chatter On the rocks offshore sea lions kept up a noisy chatter and a light mist, known locally as "high fog," drifted down on the chief executive who wore a buff colored cap, two-tone tan sports shirt, a tan sweater and slacks. "Did you notice," he said to Hagerty, "how the sea lions bark when you start to hit?" The President's game was so bad Friday that he could laugh about it Saturday. "I hit a ball into a tree Friday on the 17th hole and it never came down," he said. "The cad dy took one look and just got out another ball and dropped it down." He also recalled somewhat ruefully that on the eighth hole Friday, he tried repeatedly with- More GAS! GIVES HOT WATER- times faster! Nixon Planning Sunday Trip To Washington, D. C.

Appears More Relaxed Nixon appeared cheered and more relaxed Friday when his gray-haired father, who was stricken last Wednesday with a hemorrhaging artery in the abdo men ,was removed from the crit ical list. However, the elder Nix on's condition still is listed as "serious." The vice president met with southern California Republican leaders in a secret campaign strategy meeting here Saturday.

McKay Holds High Republican Hopes Portland (U.R) Douglas Mc Kay, former secretary of inter ior who is seeking the Senate seat held by Democrat Wayne Morse, arrived from the Repub lican national convention Friday with words of praise for the GOP ticket and hopes for elec tion of a Republican congress. McKay, who faces the tough est battle of his long political career in trying to unseat the former Republican called the Eisenhower-Nixon team "great." "It couldn't be better," he said. McKay said that in Oregon "we are faced with a two-pronged referendum on President Eis enhower. We must not jonly re elect Ike and Dick; we must also elect a Republican Congress. Only with the support of a Re publican congress can they do the whole job for all the people, and continue the great work that has been started over the past three and one-half years."

Allen Frear, Jr., (D-Del.) said Saturday that congress can and should cut taxes next year. Frear, a member of both the Senate's Tax - Writing Finance, committee and Banking commit tee advocated a reduction in per sonal. income taxes as a means of achieving full employment and raising purchasing power. These views are counter to those expressed earlier by Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) Finance committee chairman. Byrd cau tioned that a tax cut in .the near future would be dangerous be cause the government is on a "spending spree." Cut for Working People Frear told reporters "I think it is possible to cut taxes next year. We can give the working people a reduction." He said a tax cut would put more money in circulation and thus "keep the purchasing power high" and create more jobs. "The purchasing power of the dollar has been reduced, regard less of what was said at the Re publican National convention in San Francisco last week," Frear said. "The dollar is rapidly bi coming unstabilized. Can Create Employment "Full employment is the an swer. I believe we can create it by reducing personal income tax es, either through a rate cut or a boost in exemptions." The government Friday report ed the cost of living at an all time high. The Democratic party plat form specif icially pledged to in crease individual income tax ex emptions from $600 to J800. The The platform adopted by Re publicans promised tax cuts if the federal budget is balanced. has invaded .
