Eisenhower has whittled down the constitutional duties of the presidency. Their statements were in reply to a speech last night by Sen. John Sparkman (D.-Ala.). Sparkman said Eisenhower, be cause of medical restrictions on his activities, is delegating to others "functions which lie at the very core of the presidency." The Republican replies were that Eisenhower is merely cur tailing the "folderol" and "hospi tality" functions of the office. Snyder News Report Murray Snyder, assistant White House press secretary, told re porters with reference to what Eisenhower has said at his last two news conferences: ".I think the President very clearly stated last Wednesday and again yesterday the distinction between his constitutional duties and his hospitalities duties, the latter being the department in which he has reduced his activi ties. "Certainly he has not reduced his constitutional duties." Refer ring further to Sparkman's con tention, Snyder said: "I don't think the senator would measure his services by the num ber of hours he puts in on the floor, or by the number of con kstituents he sees." cups for a penny That's all it costs in electricity.
