Ike Says Recession May Deepen THOMASVILLE, Ga., Feb. 20 UP) —President Dwight D. Eisen hower said today the business re cession could develop into a "deep and protracted decline” only if ‘‘tough- minded” confidence in America’s economic future is im paired. That was part of the President’s reply to 11 Democratic governor’s who told him last week that, "Only enlightened federal action can prevent the recession from feeding on itself and deteriorat ing further into a depression.” In a telegram to Eisenhower at that time, the governors urged a six-point program, including pub lic works, welfare and educational expansion, further easing of. cred it, and possibly a tax cut directed to low-income families. The President responded today in a telegram from his vacation headquarters. It was addressed to Gov. Averell Harriman of New York for relay to his Democratic colleagues. Eisenhower’s reply suggested he feels the governors and all others in positions of responsibil ity should refrain from statements which might undermine confi dence in the nation’s future. “I believe the under lying growth factors in the economy re main vigorous and every indica tion is that they will reassert themselves later in the year," Eisenhower said. That also was the essence -of the special statement on the eco nomic situation which the Presi dent put out in Washington last week—the same day. the govern ors wired him.

Frank Carlson of Kansas, senior Republican on the Post Office Committee. It would ear mark the additional 175 million of revenue brought in annually by the five-cent. rate for modern ization of postal facilities. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnston (D.- S.C.), committee chairman, an nounced he would lead a fight on the Senate floor to hold the in crease on first-class mail at four cents.
