WASHINGTON ® — President: | elect Eisenhower's advance scouts sifting secrets and shunning publi- | city, quietly cleared the way today for his conference next Tuesday with President Truman. . The information gatherers, Mas- | sachusetts’ Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge | Jr. and Detroit banker Joseph | Dodge, went about their tasks in- side a self-imposed, no-news-today | cocoon. Neither Lodge, who is Eisen- | hower’s liaison with almost all gov- | ernment agencies but the Budget-| Bureau, nor Dodge, who takes over H there, had any report on their | progress. Lodge made it clear yesterday, his first on the job, that he was | asking questions, not answering | them. In shirt sleeves, making phone calls from his Senate office, Lodge told reporters only that he is | gathering “top seeret’” information | from the Truman administration. | He described his schedule today | in this terse fashion: “I have an appointment with a ; man who wants to see me in confi- dence.” Practically nothing has been heard from the other half of the Lodge-Dodge team since he arrived in Washington last Wednesday. Dodge announced he was going to watch—but not criticize or advise— while budget officials put the finish- ing touches to the last federaa bud- get of the Truman administration, which goes to Congress in January. Dodge and other Eisenhower aides have emphasized that the general will not accept responsibi- lity for anything in the Truman Sen. Bridges of New. Hampshire, Republican floor leadér in the Sen- ate, quoted Dodge Thursday as saying that most of the preliminary hearings, on which the budget esti- mates are based, have been com- pleted. Bridges said the drafting was “almost in the post-mortem stage” before Dodge stepped in. The White House, meanwhile, came up with a tip that the Eisen- hower-Truman conference will deal primarily with vital foreign policy, defense and money matters. An an- nouncement yesterday said that among those sitting in on the White House talks will be Secretary of State Acheson, Secretary of De- fense Lovett, Secretary of the Treasury Snyder and Mutual Secu- rity Administrator W. Averell Harriman. Lodge and Dodge will be at Eisenhower's side after the general | first meets alone with Truman in | the Président’s office.
