Eisenhower yesterday painted a rosy picture of the na- tion's economy and said his ad- ministration has laid a firm base for "a period of sound growth." And Eisenhower placed at the feet of his successor, President- elect .John F. Kennedy, the key role in spurring the growth. With- out naming Kennedy, the Presi- dent said the federal policies needed could, to a considerable extent, be achieved "administra- tively and require no legislative action by Congress." Eisenhower's annual economic report-his last big message to Congress-fisted 14 "important matters" on which he said Con- gressional action is needed. Most of these, however, he has already called for in one form or another. Plea for Balance None of the proposalsi could be called an anti-recession measure, such as some economic experts say are needed to spur the fal- tering economy. Heading Eisen-1 hower's list was a plea to keep his new $81 billion federal budget in balance and keep inflation under; control. The whole tone of Eisenhower's message was opposite to the only comparable document, a report on Jan. 5 to Kennedy by his eco- nomic task force. That Democratic group recom- mended swift emergency measures to combat the business slump, but cautioned against pushing the panic button. Extend Compensation Among other things it called for extending unemployment compen- sation pay, along with other pro- grams to raise federal outlays by $3 billion to $5 billion in the year starting next July 1. Eisenhower conceded that Con- gress might supplement jobless pay in "periods of especially high rates of unemployment." But newsmen were told by his eco- nomic advisers that the present rate of 6.8 per cent jobless isn't high enough to justify federal aid. The President's message no- where spoke of a recession, busi- ness tip or downturn as occur- ring in the final months of his administration. Eisenhower said "economic ac- tivity continues high as the year 1961 begins, despite declines in production and employment that have occurred since the middle of 1960." Then suggesting ways in which he expects this trend to be stop- ped, Eisenhower said: "Consumer outlays may be ex- pected to increase as the factors of expansion raise personal in- come, and especially if the prices of consumer goods remain free from inflationary pressures, "An increase in general econom- ic activity should not, according- ly, be long delayed." Lumumba Imprisoned In Katan ga JACOTVILLE, The Congo (P) - Patrice Lumumba was locked upJ yesterday in this province's most] secure prison, nursing cuts and' bruises from a severe beating by Katanga police. The Katanga government of President Moise Tshombe, which seceded from the Congo during Lumumba's turbulent term as pre- mier, announced he was brought to Katanga because the Thysville' military camp in the Leopoldville' area was not secure enough to prevent his escape. Troops at Thysville rioted over pay last Friday and Lumumba was freed briefly during the con- fusion. Apparently shaken by the inci- dent, Congo President Joseph Kasavubu ordered him transferred to Katanga. Tshombe's govern- ment said Kasavubu issued the order because "the Thysville pris- on did not offer sufficient guar- antees." Kasavubu and Tshombe have resumed political contacts since the president dismissed Lumumba as premier last Sep- tember. Swedish United Nations troops, following orders not to intervene in Congolese politics, did not stop the beating administered Lumum- ba and two political associates on their arrival from Leopoldville Tuesday, Soviet Leader Asks Reform In Agriculture MOSCOW (1P) - So much that is wrong with Soviet agriculture has been disclosed in a nine-day session of the Communist Party's central committee that stern measures taken by Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev seem to be the minimum necessary to whip up production. Theft of crops, bribery of manu- facturers in order to get tractors, faked harvest reports designed to hide production failures-all these have been brought out under bit- ing questions of Khrushchev at: the assembly which ended yester- day. Khrushchev told farm leaders and local party officials that pro- duction in their areas is going to be the deciding factor as to whether they stay in power. "These jobs are not hereditary," he warned. Those who produced well got kindly words. Those who slacked off got a public blistering._ High officials and low have heard Khrushchev's upbraiding in meetings behind closed doors and then have seen the whole affair published in Pravda. With its many local editions, Pravda blan- kets the Soviet Union. The effort to make this coun- try produce more than the United States is more than an obsession with Khrushchev. He is prepared to make a grand tour to tell Rus- sian farmers personally how "to grow more corn, how fat to make their hogs before butchering and, above all, howe to fire farm mana- gers with sloppy records in the bad seasons of 1959-60.
