House and read to the legislators
while the President continued re
cuperating from a September
heart attack at Key West, Fla.
Nowhere in it was there a defi
nite clue as to how long Eisen
hower proposes to stay around to
give stewardship to his program
—the biggest political puzzle of a
politically-minded Congress.
But in tone and content it was
much like the message a year ago
which a number of Democrats, at
least, interpreted as something of
an announcement for a second
term try.
The reading of the message by
the clerks took around an hour.
Many legislators didn’t bother to
show up for the process, in the
absence of Eisenhower himself.
Those who did followed the mes
sage from copies, some of them
checking or underlining with pen
cil or pen. Now and then there
was a spatter of applause.
At Key West, Florida,. it was
another day • of almost complete
leisure for the convalescing Presi

have for its theme “Farming for
Freedom,” a tribute to the farm
er’s concern for a world of peace
and plenty.
Last year’s farm show was dedi
cated to the University in tribute
to its century of service to the
agriculture and welfare of the
people of Pennsylvania. Fewer
students and faculty from the
University will take part in the
show this year.
The 1956 farm show will offi
cially open on Monday night,
Jan. 9, with an address by Gover
nor George M. Leader. The open
ing exercises will be followed by
the annual exhibition of skills
in horsemanship by the Pennsyl
vania State Police.

Among those taking part in the
pageant from the University are
members of the 4-H, agricultural
and home economics clubs.
The 100 piece Pennsylvania
FFA orchestra under the direc
tion of James W. Dunlop, associ
ate professor of music education,
and the 30 voice FFA chorus from
the University, will provide the
background music for' the pag

chorus has taken part in the farm
show, although it had a premier
performance at the University
during the Ag Hill Party in
November.
Queen to be Presented
During the finale of the pag
eant, Martha P. McDonald, the
1955 Pennsylvania Apple Queen,
will be presented to the audience.
Miss McDonald, a senior in home
economics from Shippensburg,
along with the other State agri
culture and horticulture queens,
will stand alongside the com

Included among other special

The problem of declining farm
income brought one departure
from the generally bright picture
he painted in his State of the Un
ion document. With the problem
already looming as a campaign is
sue in this presidential and con
gressional year, Eisenhower
pledged the administration will do
everything in its power to help
the farmer.
After dispatching the message
to Washington, Eisenhower went
to his office here and discussed
its contents for about seven min
utes before television cameras and
a radio microphone.
Eisenhower breakfasted with
President-elect Juscelino Kubit
schek of Brazil, who arrived here
by plane on the first stop of an
informal visit to the United
States.
Eisenhower was waiting outside
the temporary White House when
Kubitschek arrived. Tftey shook
hands warmly and Eisenhower,
noting .that the Brazilian had to
rush on to told Ku
bitschek with a smile:
“I’m sorry you have to leave in
such a hurry. I told-them to pour
the coffee and be ready to go as
soon as we get in there.*

4 Witnesses
To Answer
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (/P) —Four witnesses refused to
day to tell senators searching for Red influences in the press
and other news fields whether they had ever been Com
munists.
One of the witnesses, Dan Mahoney, a rewriteman on
the staff of the New York Daily Mirror, said “No sir, I am
not,” when asked whether he now
is a Communist. However, he re
fused to tell whether he had ever
been a Communist.
The other three William A.
Price, a reporter for the New
York Daily News, Richard O. Bey
er, a free lance writer of Groton-
On-Hudson, N.Y., and Otto Al
bertson, a composing room em
ploye of the New York Times —
refused to say whether they now
are Communists or have been in
the past.
Price, in declining to answer
questions, refused to invoke the
Fifth Amendment’s privilege
against compulsory self-incrimi
nation. He based his refusals on
the First Amendment, which cov
ers the right of free speech.
Questions Power
Price said it was beyond the
power of the Senate Internal Se
curity subcommittee to inquire in
to his personal and political be
liefs, as well as his associations.
Chairman Eastland (D-Miss) re
peatedly “ordered and directed"
Price to answer questions put to
him, saying the subcommittee did
not recognize his refusal to an
swer on the ground of the First
Amendment. Eastland and coun
sel J. G. Sourwine told him he
could refuse to answer under the
Fifth Amendment, but not the
first.
Invoke Amendment
Boyer and Mahoney invoked
the Fifth Amendment after being
told their refusal to answer on
the ground of the First Amend
ment was not recognized. Albert
son was the only one of the four
witnesses heard today who did
not make an issue of the First
Amendment. He simply claimed
the protection of the Fifth.
