C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 5,1954 Ike Believes Hearing Has Hurl Prestige WASHINGTON (IP) Pres ident Eisenhower said today the United States has lost international prestige and some national respect from the Army-McCarthy row. But he told his news conference he hopes the country will derive from the incident advantages which will offset those losses. And he said firmly that he still Is backing Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens in the dispute with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. Questions about the explosive Asiatic situation and the Army-Mc- Carthy dispute dominated the President’s meeting with reporters. WOULDN’T EXPAND He said he did not want to ex pand on a formal statement about the foreign situation because of the delicate nature of issues now pend ing before the Geneva Conference. He didn't want to talk about the Army-McCarthy hearings. But when he was reminded of the hope he expressed last week that the hearings will be concluded soon, he had this to say: What he meant was he hoped it would be concluded with eflectlve answers to what appear to be the main issues involved. He also hoped that the country may derive from the Incident advantages whicn are at least comparable to what ha*#l«een lost In international pres tige and national respect. / OTHER SUBJECTS ■vQ|J»er major points in the ntyur. conference included: . Farm Legislation; He has not toade any statement that he would accept a simple one-year extension of the present 90 per cent of parity law because he will not say in advance what he will do about any {legislation. Taft-HarUey; He would not dis cuss a proposed states rights amendment sponsored 'by Sen. Barry Goldwater “R-Arlz". But he said he wouldn't like to see ad ministration recommendations de layed by any extrenous matters. Nor did he thlnz anything should Interfere with the basic rights and privileges of labor and manage ment set up in the Taft-Hartley law. Tennessee Valley Authority: There will be no political consider ations lh his selection of a board chairman. But it is what he called a curious Interpretation to think that means he intends to reappoint Gordon D. Clapp whose term ex pires May 18. War Prisoners: There will be justice temperated with mercy In i all cases of American prisoners accused of collaborating with the j enemy, but they are far from , identical. He said there was a vast difference in the court-martial con viction of Cpl. Edward S. Dicken son and the cases of men who signed false germ warfare con- • sessions. Economic: The preponderance of < recent economic reports reaching him have been favorable. But he said he was advising against ovgr optimism Just as, several weeks ago, he would against being too pessimistic.
