President Sees Klo Meed To Khrushchev Ifisit Emd Steel Strike Before Eisenhower Will Work To Elect GOP President - ' Gettysburg, Pa. -OjTD Presi dent Eisenhower said today it was shallow thinking to sug gest that the government must intervene to force a steel strike settlement before So viet Premier Nikita Khru shchev visits this country. ' The suggestion he might in tervene in the deadlocked steel talks was made by the industry magazine Iron Age. It said the idea was to settle the strike before Khrushchev arrives Sept. 15. Eisenhower repudiated the idea at a news conference. Top Priority At the same time, he gave top priority for this session of Xongress to legislation to per !mit higher interest rates on federal bonds, labor reform, financing the interstate high way program, and civil rights. 1 The President discussed the "steel strike in terms of the Khrushchev, visit after being Tasked if his attitude toward Tlhe role of the federal govern ment had changed now that the strike had entered its fifth week. His direct reply was that his position had not changed in the slightest. He has made it plain in the past he will maintain a hands-off attitude. Wants Republican President In reply to other questions, Eisenhower said: His apparently more ag gressive leadership recently grew out of a desire to break ..the almost hopeless stalemate in the cold war and a need to take a more direct part in shaping legislation inasmuch as the Democrats control Con gress. ; In the 1960 campaign, he will do all he can to elect a Republican nominee dedicat ed to moderate, sound middle of the road government. He believes the GOP needs a vig orous, straight-forward, hard hitting, candidate who has public recognition for experi ence, honesty, integrity and character. But he thinks the worst possible thing he could do would be to intetfere in the convention choice. - Neither he nor his broth er, Milton, would have any part of a move to nominate the latter for the vice presi dency next year. He could think of nothing worse than giving the appearance that a political dynasty is being set up. Milton is president of Johns Hopkins University and has undertaken a number of missions for the President. Objects To Housing Bill There-were four or. five particularly objectionable pro visions in the new housing bill as rewritten by a Senate bank ing subcommittee. He recog nizes that all legislation is a process of compromise but he will not back away from prin ciple in this case, support for a sound economy and avoiding more debt. After leaving the White House, he wants to help edu cate the American people about today's great problems because there is nothing more important. ". On his attitude of non interference in the steel jtrike, Eisenhower recalled Jhat the basic purpose of the 1935 Wagner Labor Act was to encourage tree and untram meled collective bargaining. Not Afraid of Strike ; Except for the U.S. Media tion Service, he said, he could think of nothing more objec tionable than intrusion of the federal government into col lective bargaining unless $here is a national emergency. - The President said he had beard talk that there must fce a steel strike settlement be fore Khrushchev's visit in iiid-September even if it had So take direct action on his fart. j In rebuttal, he raised these two questionsDo the Ameri can people fear having Khru Jhchev see that free . citizens lave the right to strike? Why worry if Khrushchev sees a trike? To suggest that the Soviet feader should not see a strike shallow thinking, Eisen hower said.

T See RICK KEENER about these and other B STORE BARGAINS (Continued from Page 1) He said his decision to in vite Khrushchev to Washing ton was made early in July, after the first round of for eign ministers negotiations at Geneva failed to produce any progress in the East-West deadlock on Berlin. The President emphatically denied a suggestion that his invitation to Khrushchev and his decision to visit Russia himself constifuted a reversal of policies which had been followed when John Foster Dulles was secretary of state. Discussions With Dulles - Far from it, he said, declar ing that he and Dulles often had discussed the possibility of what might come out of a personal talk by Eisenhower with Khrushchev. He said he and Dulles, in the latter months of 1958, be gan to feel that the methods they were using in efforts to achieve better relations might possibly need to be altered somewhat. Eisenhower said he and Dulles did not arrive at a final decision before Dulles died. However, Eisenhower asked others in the state de partment to add up the pros and cons of an exchange of visits, and the decision was made early in July. Eisenhower and Dulles talk ed many times about inviting Khrushchev to the U. S. when it might serve a useful . pur pose. Dulles had been con cerned about the effect of such a visit on the allies and other nations. Timing was a key consideration, but when British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan visited Moscow last February, Dulles felt that this took the U. S. off the hook-that the U. S. then was free to invite Khrushchev any time it seemed desirable. On other subjects of inter national interest the President had the following to say: Armed Bases Needed -If Khrushchev challenges him about U. S. bases abroad, the President will point out that these were not estab lished until nations overseas began to feel, as the U. S. did, that defensive measures were necessary. He will point out that the U. S., after the end of World War II, disarmed unilaterally to a level that military people thought was unwise. It then became neces sary to restore the situation. Every political leader in the world knows that U. S. bases abroad are only defensive be cause democracies, with their necessity to debate major ac tions, are helpless to launch surprise attacks. -He decided to make a spe cial trip to Bonn, on his forth coming European tour, to talk with German Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer because he found that the chancellor did not plan to be in London at the same time he was.

Yust shows three cartoons he thought might possibly disturb the editor of Soviet Culture. Cartoon Yust holds shows Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev as hooked fish held by former Secy, of State John Foster Dulles. Cartoon (left rear), shows Khru shchev in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde role, while other cartoon shows Red China's leader Mao Tse-tung asking bid for recognition by U. S. originally had thought Ade nauer would be in London. Wants To Show Homes Eisenho jver wants Khru shchev to see, on his tour of the U. S., the fine modest homes in which the average American lives. He wants Khrushchev to see that they are similar to the one at the U. S. Exhibition in Moscow, which Khrushchev told Vice President Richard M. Nixon he did not think was repre sentative. The President does not in tend to accompany Khru shchev on any of his U. S. tours outside K . Washington unless some abnormal devel opment calls for it. However, he may bring the Russian leader up to Gettysburg or the presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland's Catoctin mountains if the Soviet Pre mier wants to make such trips.

However, key members said they did not believe that the controversial legislation would reach the House floor before Congress adjourns for the year. One said the pro posal is virtually dead. The committee vote behind closed doors was reported to have been 15-10. All 10 Re publicans were understood to have supported the proposal Democrats split 5 for the plan and 10 against.
