Eisenhower Tuesday scotched a report he had tried to hall the appearance of convicted perjurer Alger Hiss on a con troversial television program about former Vice President Kichard M. Nixon. The former president con firmed he had called his for mer press secretary, James C. Jlagcrly, now vice president in charge of news for the American Broadcasting Co., which aired the program. 'The Political Obituary of Richard M. Nixon. However, Eisenhower main tained: "I expressed amazement, but never in my life have I ever asked anybody not to report a story after they got it fully. Anyone has the preroga tive to make an analysis of somebody's career, but it was unusual." Eisenhower said he phoned Hagcrty because he wanted to "find out what it was all about." Eisenhower was prompted to make the statement about the program, which flooded ABC with viewer protests be cause! of Hiss' participation, because GOP National Chair man William E. Miller was re ported to have said Eiscnhow. or altcmpted to have the show called off. Miller subsequently denied making such a state ment. Hagerly, a close associate of Eisenhower during the Re publican's eight years in of fice, confirmed what the for mer president said. Hagerly said: 'Gen. Eisenhower telephon-1 cd me at my home Sunday morning, said he had received conflicting rumors from friends about the (Howard K.) Smith program.

He expressed astonishment, if this were so. "I told him this was not so and outlined the format of the program in which Hiss had only a small part. I told him of the others who were ap pearing on the program and that concluded the conversation." Snider Statement Notes Observance Mcdford Mayor John W. Snider has issued a statement in recognition of National Re tarded Children's week, being observed this week. In his statement. Mayor Snider said, "All of us should give serious consideration to the plight of the mentally re tarded in our community.

We ask everyone to join with them in the oliscrvance of Na 1 1 o n a 1 Retarded Children's week, Nov. 11 to 22." Relief Shipments Being Rushed To Victims on Guam Agana. Guam - (LTD - The United States today rushed massive relief shipments to the island of Guam, where Typhoon Karen Sunday caus ed destruction "like a whole army of workers with big scythes." As Air Force C130 trans ports landed on the island's battered airfields with the first consignments of tons of tents, food, and medicine, the death toll rose to seven with the discovery of another body in the rubble of a building. Officials said they expected to find others in the wreck age of buildings on the island, which received a worse bat tering from Karen's 200-milc- an-hour winds than it did from two World War II in vasions. Filipino! Dead The Philippines Foreign Office in Manila said three Filipinos on Guam were kill ed in the storm. It was not immediately known if they were included in the seven bodies recovered. Air Force typhoon trackers in Tokyo said Karen, its winds down to 150 miles an hour, was 431 miles south of the U.S. Military bastion of Okinawa tonight. Forecas ters said winds in the Okin awa area were not expected to exceed 81 miles an hour during the next 24 hours. Acting Gov. Manuel Guer rero of Guam warned the is larfdcrs against drinking wa ter except that from inspect ed stations and told the 9,000 persons who lost their homes that help was on the way. One of the first pilots to fly in with emergency per sonnel and equipment, Col. William II. Lewis, Pasadena, Calif., described the island as seen from the air: "It was just hell. 11 was total destruction. It looked to me like a whole army of workers with big scythes had just gone across the whole place and chopped down ev erything they could see. Ev erything was lying down. Smashed. Even the forests were lying down." Buildings Damages Lewis, commander of the 815th Troop Carrier Squad ron in Japan, said "All the buildings not typhoon-proof were destroyed or damaged to a serious degree and a large percentage of the ty phoon-proof buildings were heavily damaged. He said a heavier casualty toll was avoided because peo ple "doubled up in the typhoon-proof buildings before the storm hit."
