Confer on Ship
ABOARD USS HELENA, En Route to Hawaii, Tuesday, Dec. 9
(A ) )—Talks reportedly centered on the Korean War problems were
shrouded in secrecy today as President-elect Eisenhower, four mem
bers of his future Cabinet and close advisers conferred in shirt
sleeves for the second straight day.
The conference which began
this morning as the cruiser Hel
enna rode through' the Pacific
toward Pearl Harbor at a steady
25 knots.
No communiques were being is
sued on the meetings. What news
has developed from the top side
conference was relayed through
Eisenhower's press aides.
Reports Squelched
At the President-elect's side to
day were four men vital in the
shaping •of foreign and domestic
policies after he takes office Jan.
20. They were the future secre
taries of state, the Treasury and
the interior and the attorney gen
eral.
Eisenhower's press secretary,
James C. Hagerty, made clear
that even the subjects discussed
would not be disclosed, at this
time and probably not until after
the new administration takes of
fice Jan. 20.
To Reach Pearl Harbor
However, one source close to
Eisenhower squelched recurring
reports that the general favored
enlarging the Korean War.
"Nothing is definite yet," the
source said.
The Helena was due to complete
its 3300 mile trip from Guam at
9 a.m. Thursday Hawaiian time
2 p.m., EST. Eisenhower and his
staff are expected to continue
their meetings at Pearl Harbor
for at least two days.
'The high level talks began in
earnest only two hours after a
helicopter ,brought Secretary of
State designate John Foster Dulles
aboard from Wake Island Sunday.
He had flown there from , the
United States under security
wraps.

Korean Action Light
SEOUL, Tuesday, Dec. 9 (iP)—
The Korean ground war lapsed
into a fitful quiet Monday with
only sporadic actions along the
frozen front.
In the aerial war, Sabre jets
downed a Communist MIG over
Northwest Korea while Allied
planes pummeled Red communi
cations.
With the exception of a few 40
man sorties on the Cent:al and
Eastern Front s, Chinese and
North Korean Communist forces
appeared to be holding their fire.

Harmony
Between I ke,
Taft Seen
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (PF')—
Vice President-elect Nixon today
forecast smooth working harmony
between the Eisenhower adminis
tration and Sen. Taft (R-Ohio)
despite a sharp break between
the two Republican leaders over
an Eisenhower Cabinet appoint
ment.
"Sen. Taft is a team man," Nix
on told a reporter. "There is no
doubt in my mind he will be able
to work smoothly with the new
administration."
Taft Protests Appointment
Taft, the man Eisenhower beat
for the GOP nominations, rocked
Republican circles last week with
a blast at Eisenhower's appoint
ment of Martin P. Durkin as sec,
retary of labor. _ .
The Ohio senator said the Presi
dent-elect's choice was "incredi
ble." Durkin, he protested, is a
staunch Democrat who opposed
Eisenhower's election an d has
urged repeal of the Taft-Hartley
labor relations law.
Nixon to Help Harmony
But Nixon, who will preside
over the new Senate, discounted
any suggestion that all this could
lead to a permanent or deep rift
between the new president and
Taft, long considered the most
influential Republican senator.

Lewis Re-election
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (1P)-
The United Mine Workers will
meet tomorrow to re-elect John
L. Lewis to another four
.year
term as president.
The 72-year-old UMW leader
has been unopposed for the union
presidency since 1920.
In fact, Nixon added, "there
isn't any question—no doubt at
all in my mind—that both the
House and Senate will furnish
very substantial majorities for
Gen. Eisenhower's legislative pro
gram."
One of Nixon's roles in the new
administration is to help in liai
son work between the White
House and Congress. He said he
is anxious to start talking to law
makers immediately to work
toward smooth relations.
