Other highlights of the President's first news conference since Feb. 17: —He made painstakingly plain that Vice President Richard M Nixon is his personal preference for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination. He said he would participate in the election campaign. himself, if invited to do so. —He said that, in requesting congressional changes in the Sugar Quota Act. there was no thought whatever of punishing the people of-Cuba or the Cuban government. He said because of conditions in Cuba, however, he wanted the authority to turn to other sources of sugar supply should there «be some interference with shipments of Cuban sugar to this country. Berlin Policy Unchanged —He said he felt the United States disarmament plan submitted in Geneva with its provisions for gradual effectiveness and sure safeguards on compliance was vastly preferable to the Russian total disarmament, four-year program. —He restated this government s position that there would be no change in policy toward Berlin at the summit conference in May —He rejected as untrue reports from abroad that he had an agreement with Soviet Premier Nikita S Khrushchev to avoid • rocking the boat" pending the May summit meeting. —Asked to comment on demands by some Democrats that their national chairman. Paul M, Butler, resign. Eisenhower said with a chuckle that if the Democrats were having trouble he was not about to help them out. —Told of the apprehension ot some businessmen about the picture of future prosperity, Eisenhower said he thought the national economic outlook for the rest of this year was very healthy and very fine. He conceded that certain economic indicators were not advancing upward as rapidly as some business leaders would like. Funeral Thursday For Raymond Werling Funeral services for Raymond C.

RESOLUTION Continued from page on* __ gain. YosChowever, contemplates no delays. The ordinance is merely a precaution, the council was told. A resolution on the resident engineer's salary and the hourly rate of inspector on the Sewer project were also set. City engineer Ralph Roop will be the resident engineer for a salary of S2OO a month, while Harry Knapp, will receive $2 an hour as inspector. Save Money The city actually will be saving quite a bit on Roop’s salary, Mayor Don Gage told the council, because the usual rate for resident engineers is about S2OO a week, plus expenses. Roop was requested to take the position by ConsoerTownsend, the city’s planning advisors. In the case of Knapp, his pay will come from the sewer fund, instead of the sewage disposal fund, where he usually works at the same rate of pay. Bright lights also shone in the council chambers as the directorcameraman for the movie, “Decatur 1960." spent a few moments taking pictures of city government at work. The cameraman then hurried over to the Lions-Rotary sponsored basketball game for similar shots

Asks Congress Vole Boost In Minimum Wage WASHINGTON <UPD — The I president of the Amalgamated iClothing Worker* of America urged Congre** today to bno«t the federal minimum wage to 81 25 an j hour to wipe out "poverty in the mid»t of plenty " Jacob S. Potofiky. who also la a member of the AFL-CIO executive council, testified before the 'House labor lubcommlttee in »upport of a bill to ral»e the wage i floor 25 cent* from the current I 8100 an hour and extend coveri age to an additional 7.500.00 workers. In his prepared testimony Po-, tofsky said an increase in the, minimum wage would not raise costs greatly for either manufac-| ■ turers or consumers. I For instance, he said, a 8125 I minimum wage would hike the, (cost of making the average suit! ,by 14 cents and the typical dress j j shirt by six cents. The effect on cotton garment firm* would be greater, he said, “since wage levels are lower and are kept down by the competitive | effect of unorganized shops.” "We must face the fact that in [industries with very substandard I wages, the impact on cost will be greatest.” Potofsky said "It cannot be otherwise and we must face the problem squarely. Other congressional news: Defense: Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. was called ; for his first appearance before [the Senate space-preparedness investigation. Gates was expected to be questioned about his declaration that new intelligence estimates had downgraded the RusI sian missile threat. Some Democrats have contended that this view is "too rosy." Influence: Rep. Alfred E. SantI angelo <D-N.YJ said the House j Armed Services Committee had watered down legislation to bar influence-peddling by retired milii tary officers so much that it acI tually would relax existing curbs Santangelo said he would try to beef up the bill if it reached the House floor in its present form. The committee was scheduled to meet today to stamp formal ap--1 proval on the measure.
