By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI While House Reporter Washington - (UPD - Back stairs at the White House: At President Eisenhower's last news conference, he was asked a long question about the public morality involved in the television quiz scandals of last year. There was a lag of several moments before Eisenhower answered. During this brief interval the still cameras at the rear of the conference room set up a noisy clatter as the photographers shot rapidly one picture after an other. Later, the lensmen were asked about the sudden burst of activity. Many reporters had their heads down making notes at the time and noticed nothing unusual going on. Many Gestures The photographers, how ever, pointed out that Eisen hower has a number of char acteristic gestures he employs during press conferences and that during the brief stage wait, he seemed to' run through his 'entire catalogue of hand motions. He straightened his tie, he put one hand over his nose, he brushed something from his coat and clasped his arms. One photographer described the scene: "He was as busy as a third base coach calling for a double steal in the last of the ninth inning." munism over Capitalism?" Then Eisenhower as asked, "what do you tb jf such remarks? 'It's Crazy' "I think it's crazy," Eisen hower shot back. Most of the reporters in the front rows of the con ference room understood him accurately. Some however, thought Eisenhower said "I think he's crazy." That was the way a widely used unoffi cial transcript of the confer ence, subscribed to by most news organizations in Wash ington, got the President's words. The first stories out of the conference reported Eisen hower's reaction accurately, but then the transcript was distributed and things began to pop. There could have been ser ious international reprecus sions from the President's last meeting with reporters. He was told of a recent statement by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to this effect: "Our flag is flying on the moon. This means some thing. Is this not enough to prove the superiority of Com- Appeals Court Hears Chessman Lawyer San Francisco-(UPD-The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals, hear ing the case of kidnaper-sex terrorist Caryl Chessman, was told Monday that the U. S. Constitution itself was on trial. Attorney George T. Davis made this impassioned plea during arguments that Chess man had unconstitutionally been denied the right to ap peal his case directly to the tribunal. Federal law provides that Chessman must get "a certi ficate of probable cause" for appeal from a single judge before the whole court can consider it. Such a certificate was de nied Chessman last week by Chief Judge Richard H. Chambers of the appeals tribunal. Press Secretary Jim Hag- erty was disturbed as tele phones' in his ofice began to clang. Had the president really meant to say that Khrushchev was a crazy man? Three times H a g e r t y checked the tape recording of the conference. He even had some of the White House re porters listen to the- tape. There could be no mistake. Eisenhower said the word "it's." Film Checked Then the television crews who had photographed the conference on sound film be gan to check their film back from the developing labs and they confirmed the White House tape. The commercial transcript service distributed a correc tion about two hours later. The press associations were able to catch the error in their transcripts but during the afternoon, the word buzzed around Washington that Eisenhower had called Khrushchev a maniac. This is the sort of human error that is highly difficult to avoid and human error on occasion is inescapable. Rickover as Defense Secretary Requested Washington -UPD- The bit ter debate over'U. S. defense erupted on the Senate floor Monday with Mike Mansfield (Mont.), a top Democrat, call ing for appointment of Vice Adm. Hyman G. Rickover as defense secretary. London (UPD Chinese Com munist chairman Mao Tse Tung and his three top col leagues have assured Nikita Khrushchev that unity with Soviet Russia is China's "most sacred obligation." BA?

In this, the second of a series of ar ticles, UPI's Latin American editor reports on the problems the Presi dent will encounter in Brazil and sketches the personalities he will meet. By FRANCIS L. McCARTHY President Eisenhower will get his first close look at an acute South American prob lem, galloping inflation, dur ing his three-day stay in Bra zil. He will get his first con crete indication of what ad ditional economic aid our hem isphere negihbors would like from their northern compa triots. . . Labelled by some "an econ omist's nightmare," Brazil is the largest of the South Amer ican nations. Its 65 million people live in an area of over five million square miles, an area roughly the size of the entire United States. Only the Soviet Union, Can ada and China exceed Brazil in size. Brazil baffles the economist because of the inconsistencies of its complex industrial sys tem. Inflation Rampant In theory, the country should be bankrupt. The Jus celino Kubitschek regime has printed more money in . its three years in office than all previous Brazilian govern ments combined. - Inflation is rampant. An nual cost of living increases are estimated in excess of more than 30 per cent. The coffee crop, the world's larg est and the country's biggesi single export, is selling at crisis prices. CAROLE'S EX-HUSBAND-James Pappa, husky ex-husband of Carole Tregoff, was a visitor at her trial Monday and would not say whether he was going to take the stand. Pappa, shown as he read a paper before start of the trial, did say that he hoped Carole "gets out of it and I think she will," but added that he wouldn't mind if she went to prison for a couple of years. Pappa said he didn't care what happened to Dr. R. Bernard Finch, Carole's codefend ant accused of murdering Mrs. Barbara Finch. (UPI Telephoto) Yet, conversely, industry is booming. More than 40,000 new factories have opened up since 1950. Foreign investors are fighting to be allowed to participate in the upswing. Gross investment has doubled in five years. The city of Sao Paulo, flanked by vast jungles and barren plains on each side, has become the industrial capital of South America. The government is to in augurate a new federal capi tal, Brasilia, in April. It has won world recognition as a symbol of modern Brazilean culture. Study in Coniiast President Kubitschek, like Brazil, is a study in contrast. A political conservative, he is a man of daring modern busi ness concepts. Meeting finan cial emergencies with "print ing press" methods, Kubits chek shocks the economists but keeps his nation humming with industrial activity. Or ganized labor is strong and active. A surgeon in private life, Kubitschek is an energetic 57 years of age. He is up for re election in October. He is the author and prin cipal sponsor of what has been styled "Operation Pan Amer ican," a daringly conceived plan, praised by some and criticized by others, designed to bring economic stability to the hemisphere. Inside Information Is that Brazil will seek a new and laige United States loan'when the presidents of the two countries meet. The U.S. is by far - 40 per cent of imports and exports the nation's largest single customer.
