Eisenhower Declares Russians Indulqinq in Over-Statements (Continued from Page 1) The President said it would make just as much sense to say that Congress might sud denly go nuts and abolish the whole Defense Department as to say that the individual serv ices ever would be stripped. He said it just was not possible if we are sensible people. He said that the Russians had been indulging in a lot of over-statement in their charges that U. S. H-bombers were making provocative flights in the direction of Rus sia. He said all there was to it was that in times like this the bombers had to be gotten off vulnerable fields as a de fensive measure when there is a possible alert. But he added that once they are off they have to get orders before car rying out any attack. Russian Moves Puzzling He labelled Russian moves involving a possible summit conference as being really puzzling. He said that he could see no good coming from a summit conference just between himself and So viet Premier Nikita Khrusch chev. He said that all he could see that would result would be division between this nation and its allies. , He said he had no infor mation to indicate that Rus sian submarines have been conducting any reconnais sance campaign off U. S. Local and Patient Sherman Egger, Grants Pass, was listed as a medical patient at Rogue Valley hospital today.

He eeemed surprised that GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn had said that it didn't seem to be in the cards that the Republicans could win control of the Sen ate this fall. He said that Al corn, just before he made such a statement to reporters at the White House Tuesday, had been most enthusiastic and encouraging when he had talked to the chief executive. Anyway, the President said that he had never conceded defeat in advance. The President became ob viously angry four times. Becomes Red-Faced He flushed and became red faced when a reporter brought up the charges of congression al opponents of the adminis tration defense reorganization plan. He first snapped back a question: Had the reporter read the law,' apparently meaning the administration legislation. The reporter said he had read it. The President shot back, no you haven't The President, in sharp, clip ped words then defended the plan. Another reporter asked what the President had been buying, in following his ad vice to people to buy wisely to help end the recession. He brusquely said that the . re porter would have to ask his aide.

VXf JANET BLAIR COLO T VIVIAN BLAINE The President was asked if he cared to comment on Dem ocratic charges that the U.S. armed forces would be fight ing in China now if Demo crats had not restrained GOP interventionists in 1953. He replied with a grumpy no and turned to recognize another reporter. Quizzed on Jobless Pay The President was asked how he would answer con gressional charges that his emerge ncy unemployment compensation program was discriminatory because it did not provide for any payments to uninsured idle workers. The President replied by sharply asking the reporter if the original unemployment compensation law was dis criminatory. The reporter said the President's question probably should be directed to congressmen. Then Eisen hower shot back that he thought the reporter indicated that he knew something about it. The President said that he had recommended several months ago that the unem ployment compensation pro gram be liberalized and ex tended to many workers not now covered. But he said to do it on the basis proposed by the Democrats would destroy the present insurance system and amount simply to a dole and nothing else. He did not think that would be good.
