By Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (® — With ex- President Truman’s sour congres- sional relations still fresh in mind as he rode up to the Capitol yesterday, President Eisenhower tried a different approach. He carried an olive branch with with him, wrapped up in his State of the Union message. He made it pretty plain in his 14-page, and very conciliatory, talk that he wants to get along with Congress. Here and there he may have caused some momentary _irri- tations. For instance, to Southern Democrats when he said he would try to end racial segregation in the nation’s capital. And those members of Congress who had their heart set on cutting taxes right away must have felt hurt when he warned Congress to go slow on cutting taxes. But on the whole the message stroked the congressional fur the right way. Whether or not, in the end, his relations with congress turn out to be any better than Truman’s is something the next few years will have to show. It would have~ been extra- .Jordinary if, less than two weeks By Lee Falk and Phil Davis By Fred Lasswell in the job, he could have unrolled a complete blueprint of his pro- gram. It wasn’t expected of him and he didn’t attempt it. In giving his message he ex- plained he was too new in presidency to lay dowu row, all in one bundle, his administration's plans in detail. So his message was a mixture of many generalities and some specific suggestions. therefore, the rest of his program will have to be revealed piece by piece as events and months unfold. Even where he made a recom- mendation he was sometimes vague. For instance, he suggested changes in the Taft-Hartley Act but didn’t say what changes. His Labor Department is working on them, he explained. He promised mutual security to other nations but qualified it by saying they will get help from the U. S. only in the “measure that they strive earnestly to do their full share of the common task.” No one, in fairness, can quarrel with any of this. No president in a State of the Union message ever spells out ABC precisely what he has in mind on every subject. Eisenhower, for example, is not an expert on Taft-Hartley. And the men around him who are experts will need plenty of time to work out changes for him to recommend. Nevertheless, on some points Eisenhower was both explicit: and emphatic. He said he wants wage and price controls dropped; «he’s setting up a new loyalty program in the government; he wants state- hood for Hawaii; he wants social security extended to those not now covered; he promised increased help to South Korea to help build up its armies; and he told the Seventh Fleet to let Chiang Kai- shek attack the Communist main- land of China from Formosa. And no matter what his think- ing appeared to be, either in the presidential campaign or in the message yesterday, it may under- go some profound changes as he moves deeper into the responsibil- ities and insights of the presidency. Because of his long and active military life, whatever his ideas ere on political, social and eco- nomic problems, they could hardly have been more than general. He had neither time nor opportunity | for detailed knowledge in those fields. Now he will have to deal in great detail with all of them. His think- ing on all of them—as revealed in the decisions and recommenda- tions he makes—will be a combi- nation of his own developing ideas and those of his advisers. And new situations may force them into new concepts. For that reason yesterday’s mes- sage will have a value beyond its importance of the moment and to the nation.

It’s a very good idea to keep healthy, though it’s not always possible.” He grinned, and saluted with his i hand. “So long, everyone. So long Gina, baby.” They got into the car and drove along the Croisette, and out along the main road toward Les Fleurs. | It was still hot, the hottest night they had had, and beyond the balcony and the darkness of the trees, the sea splashed in gentle waves on the sand with a sound like a long, soft sigh.

She took a towel, and soft rubber- soled sandals, and almost before she’ realized she had made the decision she was tiptoeing along the balcony in the moonlight, past the shuttered windows of the By Mary Howard sleepers, down the dark curl of the spiral stair onto the terrace iow. Anthea, remembering the hot sun-warmed water of the day, gasped with the shock as she plunged in. She swam out in a straight line, turned on her back, trod water for a few minutes, and then swam back with a slow crawl stroke to the beach. She stood for a moment there feelin, tired. She ema up ut on her sandals and er. towel, and rubbing feet, anxious not to disturb any- one. She crept up the dark steps be- neath the lemon trees, astonished at the difference between dark- ness and day.

She opened the shutters and crept inside; and a moment later, the light went on, and Anthea could hear voices. She heard Gina say in her soft, wheedling, caressing voice, “Don’t he mad at me, Joe. I just had to come.” And she could not stand there any longer, not a minute. went quickly one to her own room, and lay awake for a long time, until she slept from. sheer weariness.

Jerome S. Adlerman, assistant tions subcommittee, said that ac- tually no one knows how much is paid out to ineligible cases but he testified it “could be” 25 to 100 million dollars a year. “I'd ‘say the average was 60 to 7% million dollars,” he said as the subcommittee launched a public in- quiry into what Chairman McCar- thy (R-Wis) has‘ called evidence of waste and mismanagement in the Federal Security Agency (FSA). Under the Public Assistance Pro- gram, the federal government makes grants to the states for aid to the aged, dependent children, the blind and the totally disabled. The benefit payments are finane- ed jointly by the state and the federal governments up to a maxi- mum of $55 a month, with the fed- eral government paying three-fifths of that amount. Any payments in excess of $55 a month are borne by the states alone. longer. She could not listen.
