Ike To Avoid'
Partisanship
By Moderacy
Asks Road Aid,
Cut in Gas Tax*
WASHINGTON-M-P)-President
Dwight D. Eisenhower said yester-
day the times are too serious for
extreme partisanship and he will
counsel Administration officials to
avoid it in talking about the Dem-
ocrats.
Eisenhower ,told a n ws confer-
ence he would expect teonard W.
Hall, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, to follow such
advice, too.
THIS WAS against a back-
ground of angry outbursts from.
leading Democrats in Congress,
protesting they are getting fed up
with GOP speeches they said have
attempted to label all their party
? as Communists or political sadists.
They had called on the President
either to back up or repudiate the
attacks.
Saying he quite cheerfully ad-
mits the need of Democratic
support to get parts of his legis-
lative - program enacted, the
President remarked that he isn't
much of a partisan himself and
knows of no way he can stop this
sort of thing except among
members of his own executive
family.
By adopting a more moderate,
conciliatory approach than some
of his fellow Republicans have
been taking, the President appear-
ed to frown on recent political ora-
tory by GOP spokesmen on 'the
National Committee, in Congress,
and on the White House staff it-
self.
Meanwhile Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis.) said late yesterday he does
not intend to change his national
speech-making tactics, despite
President Eisenhower's advice that
Republican leaders avoid extreme
partisanship in these serious times.

On Capitol Hill, there also
were calls for the Administra-
tion to take immediate, concrete
action to ward off a possible

SL Postpones Vote
On Activities Center
Defeats Motion on MSC Name Change;
Elections Scheduled for March 30, 31
By BECKY CONRAD
With no dissenting voice, Student Legislature last night voted to
postpone discussion on an endorsement of the proposed Student
Activities Center.
SL president Bob Neary, '54BAd., brought up a motion calling
for the Legislature to go on record in favor of "a building providing
predominantly business facilities without duplicating existing
('social and recreational facilities."
Financed by a student fee, the
cCenter would come under the man-
agement of a governing board
composed of elected student mem-1
bers and business advisors whose
Policy M ade duties would be limited to man-
agerial supervision, according to'

Other Opinions
By The Associated Press
Involvement of the, United
States in a shooting war in Indo-
china or anywhere else in the
world is against his policy, Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower de-
clared yesterday.
Every step the Government
takes to help France fight the
Vietminh forces in Indochina is
carefully weighed to prevent this
country from getting in too deep,
the President pointed out.
* * *
"I COULD NOT conceive of a
greater- tragedy than American
involvement in all-out fighting in
Indochina or elsewhere, Eisenhow-
er told reporters.
Every move made in interna-
tional affairs involves some risk,
he concluded, but every decision
authorized by him will be dir-
ected toward prevention of war.
Though Senator Stennis (D-
Miss.) and the other Democrats
applauded the President's state-
ment, they questioned whether
this country had not already gone
too far in our latest moves to
help the French.
America has made commitments
which go beyond its present mili-
tary strength and should avoid
further "trigger situations," added
Stennis.
