Riadouer Reveals Plans To Newsmen At First Confab By ED CREAGH WASHINGTON (® — President Eisenhower said today he personal- ly is not considering a naval block- ade or an embargo <gainst Red China ‘but he supposes such steps are being looked into by several government departments. Meeting with newsmen for the first time since he took office, E'senhower said also: 1.~Any tax cut this year would probably mean higher taxes in yoc's to come, and should be held ¢. til a balanced budget is in - "2 wil ask Congress for new with -prices if 1 a ing or other ' 7 by business federal con‘rols. | wants Congzess to nullify ‘ts of secret agreements ave po -mited enslavement peowics.

Addressing 256 correspondents, | ‘ « f € i mostly on topics he selected him- self, the new Republican President also cracked back at the expressed misgivings of Adlai E. Stevenson that his “business administration” might become a “big deal” ad- ministration. Eisenhower told a questioner he has lived with all Americans, in- cluding fighting men, and can’t conceive of anyone’s thinking +he is not concerned with the welfare of 150 million Americans. He said he chose his Cabinet members without regard to their »usiness connections but solely because he was sure they could supply badly needed businesslike administra- tion. The President reaffirmed, inj even stronger terms than he has used before, that he is absolutely convinced Russia has atomic wea- pons. Ex-President Truman has expressed doubt whether the Sovi- ets have a workavle atomic bomb. Eisenhower began the conference by saying he wanted to talk about four things -- farm prices, secret agreements, controls and taxes. He added that he'd entertain questions later if there was time.

More than 27,000 union workers ed oif the job following Mon- day’s walkout of 780 painters in a wage dispute, leaving the spravling project idie and all but cant. An AEC official hinted today that attempts were being made to effect a wage setilement with the striking painters, but declined to elaborate.

He reaffirmed his cam- paign promises to enforce the pres- ent price support law. And when the time comes for legislation to replace it, after 1954, he said, the new law will be based on detailed studies taking into consideration the interests of the farmers, con- sumers and everybody else. The President didn’t bring up Korea himself but he told quesion- ers the embargo and blockade questions have not béen discussed with him except for what he has read in the papers. Reporters asked him to clarify this, and he said the questions have not been brought up officially to him. Then such matters are not under consideration at all? Eisenhower replied that they are, he supposes, under consideration in several de- partments. He did not elaborate. As for the statement of the re- cently retired U. N. commander in Korea, Gen. James Van Fleet, that a U. N. offensive could suc- ceed now, Eisenhower said mildly that the responsibility in matters affecting broad policy does not rest in a field commander. He added that Van Fleet, a West Point Ga. Atomic Second Day SEA SECRETS Q. Is cupric acetate effective as a shark repellent and, if so, how is it used in underwater swimming? Capt. Bert Scott, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. s A. Cupric acetate has been found to be an effective shark re- pellent, but ‘ts low -solubility in waters makes a solution of it dif- ficult to prepare. By placing cup- ric acetate in water and heating it, a solution of 20 parts by weight per 100 parts of water may be prepared, This is then poured over sawdust, and the sawdust tied in a cheesecloth bag or flour sack which is carried along while swim- By mixing a small amount of flurorecent dye with the solution, the rate of dif- fusion underwater amy be estimat- ed. Q. How many species of por- poise are native to the Florida coast? A. Two species are common about the coast of Florida, though a number of others may be seen rarely or on accasion. The two common forms are the “common” bottlenosed dolphin, Tursiops Trun- catus and the long-snouted dolphin, Stenella plagodon. The bottlenosed dolphin is the larger of the two, attaining a length of over ten feet and is commonly called “porpoise” along the Florida Coast, where it frequents bays and estuaries, as well as being found well out to sea. Its color is grayish above and lighter below, The long-snouted dol- phin is somewhat smaller, slender, and dark above, with irregular light spots and white beneath with dark spots. The long-snouted dol- phin is an oceanic form, seldom met with close to shore. Q. Is it true that fish confined in a small bow! for years will con- tinue to swim in circles for some time after being released? A. Recent,experiments involving jfish that had been confined in small containers for periods of from 24 hours to several years have shown that there is no basis for this rather common supposition. men were stationed at picketing points as a precaution against any disorders.

On taxes, Eisenhower avoided direct mention of yesterday’s vote by the House Ways and Means Committee to cut personal income taxes July 1. The President said tax cuts must come but should be deferred until a baianced budget is in sight. Eisenhower said he has no in- tention at present of asking for standby wage and price controls. But he said he would call on con- Bress quickly for new control au- thority if prices get out of hand or if there is price gouging, The President said he would be deeply disappointed if any such gouging occurred. He declined to be drawn into the controversy over whether Pres- ident Truman exceeded his author- ity in sending American troops to Korea. He said, with a laugh which spread quickly among news- men, that he has a hard enough time trying to solve his own prob- lems without rehashing the deci- sions of past administrations. But in general, he said, while great emergencies may require in- dependent action by the executive, in normal times normal procedures such as full consultation with Con- gress should be employed. PICTURED ABOVE, Bert Har- well, famed bird-song whistler, Pianist, naturalist and lecturer, will be in Key West for the third time as a number of the Audubon Screen Tour Series, presented at Key West High School at 8 o’clock Friday eve- ning, by the Monroe County Audubon Society and.the Na- tional Audubon Society. Last year he delighted the Key West audience with his color film “Canada North” and his outstanding bird-song in- terpretations and lively wit. On Friday he will have his new natural, color film “Canada East,” beginning from Niagara Falls eastward through the Laurentian Mountains, along the island-studded St. Lawrence River, up into the remote Gaspe and the secluded Maritime Provinces. Harwell’s film will feature the doings of gannets, puffins, kittiwakes, murres, auks, eider ducks and arctic terns and other interesting in- habitants of “Canada East.” Mr. Harwell, a favorite of Key West school children who have seen and heard him be- fore, will present a school chil- drens’ matinee in Truman School at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, EMIL.
