Policy Changes Minted After Ike, HST Meeting By JACK BELL WASHINGTON Wl President elect Eisenhower kept the road open today for swift changes In Truman administration policies when he takes over the presidency Jan. 20. The carefully worded joint state ment issued by Elsenhower ana President Trumsn after their his toric If chilly White House con ference yesterday was regarded on Capitol Hill as indicating Eisen hower has some of these changes definitely in mina. The statement emphasised that Elsenhower was not asked to assume and did not assume any responsibility for decisions taken bv the Truman admtnistraUon In its last weeks. Republican lawmakers were speculating, for instance, that the new President may call for sharp cutbacks in Uie budget Truman is required to submit by Jsn. 18. Indications are the Truman budget will run -well above 80 billion dollars possibly as high as 85 billions. There also might be esrlv shifts of emphssls In Uie handling of foreign affairs, although no one expects any sudden change in basic policies despite the general s lortncoming personal inspection trip to Korea. In their statement the President and his successor said they had discussed In a 25-minute face-to- Photog Tells Of Meeting WASHINGTON Wl Nobody knows whst the President of Uie United States and the man who will succeed him Mid to each other at their private meeting Tuesday, but one fellow knows what expressions they wore. 'Grim and determined," said Harvey Ocorges, Associated Press pnolograpner, the tmra person in the White House office where Har ry S. Truman and Dwlght D. El senhower got together lor 25 min utes. Later, he said, they smiled and shook hands tor the benefit of his camera. Then Georges departed and the private talk resumed. Georges picked out of a hst the slip that gave him admittance to the room as Uie lone photographer permitted at the meeting. His pictures were distributed to the AP and to other wire services and newspapers across Uie country, - How did Georges address Messrs. Truman and Elsenhower? Why, "Mr. Presidents," of course. Her. Is acorces' description of what went on while he was in the meeting room: "Shortly after Ike met the Presi dent in tils office not more than couple of minutes later 1 was tnken in. Mr. Truman was seated behind his desk and Ike was seated about four or five feet to his left. 'The two were talking in low, serious tones when I WBined in. Immediately they shifted their chairs closer together, still talking to each other with very grim and determined looks on their faces. "I made a shot, men 1 asxea the President and Ike not to lean their heads toward me, as they were doing, because my picture showed mostly the tops ot uieir heads. "Promptlv Ike and1 me president moved In such a way that I could see more of their faces. I made a second shot and then hesitated and asked them: , , ,. Mr. Presidents' I Put It in the plural 'may I have a hand shake? They promptly did wnat 1 asked, each giving a big smile. That, aeemerl to break the tension I thought I sensed between them." face conference and a Sl-minute meeting later with their aides present "some of the most Im portant prooiems aliening our country In the sphere 01 Inter national relations." They said Elsenhower had been brleied on tnese problems. Pointing out that the Constitution requires Uie President to make the decisions until he leaves of fice, the statement said Eisen hower "cannot be asked to share or assume the responsibilities of the presidency until be takes that office." ' "We have worked out a frame work for liaison and exchange of Information between Uie present administration and the Incoming administration, but we have made no arrangements which are In consistent with Uie full spirit of Uie Constitution," the statement continued. "We believe . . . Uiat the ar rangements we have made for co operation win be of great value to the stability of our country and to the favorable progress of inter national affairs." No one In a position of authority cared lo try to spell out details of this co-operation, beyond Uiat already being practiced by Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (R-Mass) and Detroit banker Joseph Dodge, Elsenhower's representatives, in checking on the actions of govern ment departments. There is little doubt that risen. hower Insisted Uie statement must make it clear that he was not taking part in decisions by the Trumsn administration in lis re maining 63 days of life. Thus, the general's friends said he would not be hampered by having helped1 form any. decisions ana couia reverse any made once he takes office. While the loint statement men tioned discussion of International Issues It left unanswered the ques Uon of whether Eisenhower will make any public statement sun- porting Uie American - sponsored resolution in Uie United Nations opposed forcing North Korean and Chinese Communist prisoners of war m Korea to return borne against their will. Nor was there any Indication that Eisenhower was willing to accept the proposals made by several Democrats Uiat he desig nate his chief cabinet officers In advance of his inaugural. However, the DroDosal Is be lieved to have been advanced and administration ofllcials in the meeting reportedly came away with Uie lniDression that Eisen hower was favorably disposed1 to uils kind of transitional arrange ment. . The general, leaving the White House after he had stepped grlm llpped out of Uie President's office to tell reporters he and Truman had had a "very Informative and Instructive session,'' stopped at the pentagon before taking off for New York. At the Pentagon, he apparently completed final arrangements for Uie Korea trip, which he expects to make in a military plane. Police estimated that despite chilly, damn weather and exten sive coverage of the arrival by television, about hair a million persons turned out to greet the general at Uie airport, along Uie avenues over which his motorcade passed, and! in front ot Uie White House. In New York, where he will maintain headquarters until he comes to Washington for the in augural, the general scheduled con ferences with Republican congres sional leaders to discuss legislation to be brought up in the new Con gress. Elsenhower's visit with Truman was not described in any quarter as cordial, ine two men naa been flinging- bitter challenges at each other in the presidential Campaign and Eisenhower, at least, seemed in no mood to forget It.

Capehart (R-Ind), another member of Uie group and slated to head the Senate Banking Com mittee in the next Congress, pre dicted Uie price chief would be questioned on a variety of sub jects. Including the stabilizer's pro posal to turn price controls over to local ooarus. That plan, Capehart said, "isnt too sound.- Capehart stuck to an earlier an nouncement Uiat he Intends to sub mit to his committee the whole question of whether to continue the controls program, and said he has luu per cent open mind" on the issue.

Coke Case Dismissed Federal Judge James Alger Fee has dismissed charges of violation of OPS ceiling prices against the Coca Cola Bottling Co. of Klamath Falls.
