Eisenhower To Act More As President Congress Convenes Wednesday, Jan. 6 WASHINGTON, UP —President Eisenhower has assigned himself a fat part in the role he likes best for the opening of the new session or .dongresfe. He'll be talking and acting next week more as President»of th# United States than as leader of the Republican party. But that is' good politics, even though the President likes it, and his party leaders in congress are more apt to applaud than to complain. They and he knew* the chips are down for the GOP in the second session of the 83rd congress which convenes at noon, Wednesday, Jan. 6. Mr. Eisenhower either wins popular support for his second session foreign and domestic program or the prospect of Republican election victories in 1954 and 1956 fades away. Mr. Eisenhower sought to put a partisan foundation under his program in a series of mid-December conferences with Republican legislative leaders. He will have Democratic and Republican leaders in for bi-partisan program discussion on Jan. 5, the day before the new session convenes. That is merely as courtesy gesture to the Democrats since the program by then will be fixed in print and ready tor presentation to congress. But it is a gesture with crowed appeal. Mr. Eisenhower’s major petition at the beginning of the new session will be to the public, a straV egy which was developed to its greatest effectiveness by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The President has scheduled a final all-Republican White House huddle for 8:30 a.m. EST Jan. 4. Thereafter he will appear from day io day and well into the following week as the spokesman of all the people. First appearance in that role be on the evening of Jan. 4 in a TV-radio report such as FDR used to call a fireside chat. The following day he will be meeting with the Republican and Democratic legislative leaders, and what coiild be less partisan than that, or more appropriate for a president? Congress will have the head lines on Jan. 6 when it meets briefly and lets the President know it is ready to hear any communication he may care to make. Mr. Eisenhower will respond to ttiat invitation the following day with his message ton the state of the union which is designed to reach as far beyond the boundaries of organized Republicanism as it is possible to go without causing trouble among the home team. The' budget message and the President’s economic report probably will come in the fallowing week, both' keyed to the idea that 1 the administration program is in the best interest of Mr. Eisenhower is learning that enactment of a legislative program depends very largely on party loyalty and party machiner. But before he learned that he was well aware that tha beet and strongest support available to any public man was popular support extending far beyond the halls of congress.

Planeload Os Gold Arrives In London Gold From Russia Landed In London I LONDON, UP—A plane Ing $4,200,900 Worth of Russian gold landed here without advance announcement Monday nigbt, reliable sources said today. The shipment consisted of an estimated two tons of the metal, packed in sealed crates. Lt was the second, and smaller, of two consignments received here in a week, apparently -in connection with Russian efforts to accumulate foreign currency. The shipment, use the 10-to-70-million • dollar consignment received here last week, was bought with British currency by the Bank Qf England. J Soma of the Russian gold may be handed on'to the United States and' Canada on Thursday, when a 176-miUion-dollar ~Tff>tallment on those nations’ postwar loans to Britain falls due. Sizeable shipments of precious metals —gold, silyer and platinum — from Russia to the West resumed a few months ago after three years in which the flow had slowed almost” to a trickle. Observers believe Russia is counting on the metals shipments to restore stacks of foreign currency depleted by shrinking trade with the West. They believe the Russians plan to use the currency to buy such strategic materials as are available to them, and perhaps to buy consumer goods t to meet shortages, in the Communist world. ■ i.i Wind Up Municipal Affairs For Year Three meetings will take place at city ball tonight, to end Decatur’s municipal activities for 1953.
