Sundav, Dec. 13, 1959 Observers Note Big Change In Ike; Pushing More Of His Own Decisions By RAY CROMLEY NEA Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) - Some thins is happening to President Eisenhower. . He'a becoming less conciliatory, less the man trying to get every one together, He's pushing more of his own ideas, giving "a little more hell" to the opposition. Says one amazed congressional leader: "He's a different man. For the first time he seems to know what he wants to do and where he's going." IKE IN '57: Little interest or pep. Dancing Girl Entertains At Function For President By PATRICK J. KIIXEN NEW DELHI (UPI) Presi dent Eisenhower dined in Oriental - splendor Thursday night. There , was even a dancing gin who ad- milted before her performance " that the mere thought of dancing for Ike gave her Hie jitters. I She was no run-of-the-mill ' dancing girl, but Miss Vaikainti , Mala, India's leading movie star and classical dancer. She said she got all a-twittcr over the idea of dancing for Eisenhower and his , host, Indian President Rajenda Prasad. "I don't know what to say," the beautiful dancer said belore the dinner, but after her per formance, Eisenhower walked over to shake her hand and she managed to tell him It was a pleasure to meet him. Miss Mala, whose most famous dancing solo puts her in the role ' of a peacock in a costume ot lanned-out peacock feathers, said 3 Hungarians Deported SEATTLE (AP) - Three young Hungarian freedom fighters, caught a third time trying to sneak into the United States Irom Canada, were ordered deported Thursday by a sympathetic but firm federal judge. Judge William J. Lindboig placed the trio on probation for three years after giving them sus pended sentences of three to six - months in jail. He asked the chief probation of- ficer here to check with Canadian agencies about finding jobs for ' the men. They will be housed at , the immigration station until it is 1 learned if jobs await them. . The three are Tibor Korponay, " Josef Danay and Jonas Kovak, all i II. Immigration records show ; they crossed the border Nov. 1 at - Oroville in Norlhccntral Washing- " ton and were deported. Alter try . ing again at Oroville Nov. 20, they were allowed to go back voluntari i ly. They siicakcd across at Blaine r seven days later. Korponay told I.indberg that if he went back to Canada. "I don't . have work to keep alive." ' "I got many friends down here, I he added. "They all got steady . jobs. . The three said they tried to come to the United Slates origin ; ally, but found they would have to wait 5 to S years in Europe ; "In IIIS6 I fight in Hungary for a better life," said Korponay. "I , leave mother, father, brothers i What for I lose them'.'" she was "thrilled" to meet Ei senhower. The setting of the black - tie banquet was the giant pink sand stone Hashtrapati Bhavan Castle, originally built by the British (or their Indian viceroys. More than 120 guests, including Prime Min istc-r Jawaharlal Nehru and Rus sian Ambassador I. A. Benedic tov, attended the affair. Eisenhower entered A s h o k a Mall, a massive room with a ceiling three stories high, flanked by stalwart lance-bearing guards in crimson and while uniforms. He swung around Ibc circle of guests, shaking the hand of each. During dinner he told his hosts he had observed a "remarkable unity of purpose" in India. He said the faith of her people, their dedication and love of country, showed' "a spirit which will not be denied no one who has felt it could fail to be uplifted by it." Main course of the dinner was roast turkey with stuffing but no cranberries. During the course of the meal the dignitaries exchang ed toasts in water and fruit juices India's leaders are teetotalers. During dinner the lancer guards stood at their stations around the room, rigidly at attention, while the guests chatted and joked and dined in leisurely fashion. Proprietor Kills Thief Says a Republican Party man: "He's beginning to understand politics and why you have got to do certain things . . . and why you can't keep everybody happy. Only It's about six years late." Says another Republican Con gressman: "We've been trying to get Ike to use his influence for years, get in and fight, use the pressures he's got. He's always said 'Why do that?' Now he says 'I'll see to it. We'll take care of that.' "Boy, he's really exerting lea dership." Says a man who has watched him closely in the While House: "There was a time there in 1957 and 11)58 he seemed tired of his job. He didn't have much interest or pep. Now that he's making his own decisions for the first time, he's beginning to like his job a lot better. He seems happier." "Nowadays." says one admin istration official, "if the President heads into opposition, he talks about taking his argument . to the people on TV, or he threatens an extra session of Congress." Says one key Republican Con gressman gratefully: "He's not missing the little tricks that will help some of us get re elected. Before, he didn't seem to think that sort of thing was im portant." What's caused the change? There seems to be agreement on that, too. First, Sherman Adams, the White House major domo, re signed. And then Secretary of Slate John Foster Dulles became ill and died. Says one man close to the White House: "Shcrm tried to keep details off the President. He made up his mind, then gave ' Ike the papers to sign. The President often didn't know what went into the decisions. He trusted Adams, didn't do much thinking about why things were done. And he leaned on Dulles like nobody's business. When Dulles thought something was the thing to do, Ike always went along. "Then Adams left. General Per sons (the man who took Adams' place) is a different sort of man. He can make decisions, if neces sary, but he puts a lot more up to the President. Ike began to un derstand why you had to do some things for political reasons, what political pressures really meant in practice, what you were going to have to do if you were going to push things through against de termined opposition. He began to see how government works . . . not storybook style, but in reality. He'd been too sheltered before. "Then Dulles died. And the Pres ident became his own Secretary of State. That's not to say Hertcr isn't good at his job. I think he is. But he's not so close to Ike as Dulles was. The President is making decisions, making up his own mind on foreign affairs. This is doing him a lot of good." And the President has done some thinking recently. He's not goin. to be running for anything after he retires from the Presidency. He can't get reelected; that's the law. He doesn't want any other office. He's not looking for any position. He wants to retire. And Mrs. Eisenhower enthusiastically seconds the idea. So he doesn't feel obligated to anybody. Dwight Eisenhower all his life has tried to be the conciliator, to get along. His fame in Europe was based largely on his ability as a super diplomat. He was able to weld a mixed bag of star-stud ded military prima donnas into a victorious team. President Eisenhower has been trying the same technique with Congress. And it hasn't worked very well. Now he's made up his mind to talk cold turkey to Con gress to get through the bills he figures have got to get through this year and next. He's going to call in congres sional leaders with more regular ity, or pass the word down, that he wants action, and that If he doesn't get it he'll do something about it. He'll fight. As one key political worker put it "Ike has at last learned that conciliation and being the nice man to everybody doesn't work in poli tics." BASIN BRIEFS Los Angeles Man, Wife Facing Charges On Dope SEATTLE ' AP) - The propri etor of a Seattle gun shop traded shots with two holdup men Thurs day uight.

LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A man and his wife who lived in a $50,000 home in an exclusive sub urban area and employed a maid faced charges today as part of a gang accused of importing and selling 20 million dollars worth of heroin in the past five months. Robert Newton Gardner, 36, and his attractive wife, Charlene. 25, were arrested Thursday at their Buena Park home. Also ar rested were Hector Verdugo, 33, El Sereno, Calif., and Johnny Salazar Jr., 23, of nearby Monte- bello. Police said they found a cache of $150,000 worth of heroin hidden in the Gardner garage. The ar rests climaxed a four-month in vestigation by Los Angeles, stale and Buena Park police. The Gard ner home had been under 24-hour surveillance for the past month, police said. Gardner admitted to police he was leader of the ring which did a million-dollar a week narcotic business, according lo Detective Sgts. Ed Sanchez and Joe Aguirre. Gardner and his wife were members of a country club in the area and took part in the suburb's social life, Sanchez said. Gardner actually is an ex-convict and had no regular job, police said. His only income was $135 from a monthly annuity. "But on this he has maintained a maid, two expensive cars and belongs to a country club." Gardner and his wife have one child who was taken to juvenile hall following the arrests. Gard ner and the others were all booked on felony narcotics charges. Mrs Gardner was later released on bond. Mrs. Gardner admitted accom pnnying her husband on trips to .Mexico and living there in a lav ish manner but denied any knowl edge of heroin transactions. Police said Gardner purchased about six pounds of uncut heroin weekly in Mexico from a man identified as Big Mike Barrigan" and then gave it to a "runner" to bring into the United States while he followed at a safe distance but close enough to keep watch on the man carrying the heroin. Sanchez said pure heroin sells tor $10,000 an ounce when peddled to users. He said the two other men, arrested, Verdugo and Sal azar, distributed the heroin after it was brought back to the U.S. Both men refused to make state ments to police. Police said they learned of Gardner's dealings Aug. 5 when they arrested Louis Padilla, 36, Wilmington, Calif., and seized $350,000 worth of heroin. Gardner has served prison terms for armed robbery, kidnap ing and abortion, police said. Ci?j -"?t IKE IN '59: He makes the decisions.

Planners reported Thursday night that only 2,800 tickets will be available to the general public That compares with , 3,454 in 1956, when the GOP met in Cow Palace in San Francisco; and 3,000 in 1952 when the Republicans met in Chicago's International Amphi theatre for the first time. Jaren L. Jones, of Utah, vice chairman of the convention ar rangements committee, told news men only 2,800 tickets will be left for distribution to the 50 states after the party takes care of dele gates, officials and VIPs. One reason for the reduction is that the amphitheatre, the site of! the 1960 nominating rally, has 3,000 fewer seats than the Cow Palace. The amphitheatre can seat about 12,000. Another reason is a pros pective increase in the number of delegates. Universal Slide Trays - Yankee for TDC, Bell & Howell, Key stone, etc. 10 for $8,95.
