Ike's Beef Stew First on Day's Agenda
Denver —(U.P).— This is beef stew day at the Summer White House.
President Eisenhower invited a group of about 80 persons to join him at the Cherry Hills country club for the winter fish has been in preparation, for days.
While the day's activity seemed to center on big stew pots in the gleaming country club kitchen, there were a number of other more serious and more important developments:
1. ) The President awaited with interest the public reaction to the report of the special Senate committee on censure charges against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.). However, the chief executive was not expected to say anything for publication about the report.
2) . Mr. Eisenhower scheduled conferences this morning with two Colorado GOP congressional candidates, Rep. J. Edgar Chenoweth and
Mrs. Ellen Harris, a newcomer as an office seeker.
But as the domestic political and important international developments beat against the door of the Summer White House, the project of the day was beef stew.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson arrived here during the night to join the President at the party. The White House described the affair as entirely social, but the secretary has been saying that he hoped it would encourage greater consumption of economy beef cuts and vegetables.
Mr. Eisenhower did not cook the stew, but has been in a supervisory capacity since Saturday when the club chef, Jack Pierce, piled pounds of marrow bones into big boilers and began preparation of a stock
The recipe announced by the White House was for 60 people although there will be about 80 guests. However, the White House
promised that the extra persons would be cared for, not by watering the stew, but by throwing in extra ingredients.
Mr. Pierce and the President apparently worked out, the recipe together. It is not the President's recipe because he rarely cooks for three or four score persons, but he told Murray Snyder, assistant press secretary, that it was about the way he would fix it—in smaller quantities.
More than 20 pounds of prime round beef went into the stew, along with Irish potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, herbs and three gallons of stock. The final product was thickened with a roux made of beef fat skimmed from the stock and a pound of flour.
The guests included the reporters and photographers who have been covering the Summer White House, plus about 40 of the President's close friends in the Denver area.
Jackson Says Auto Monopoly Growing
The Washington Democrat charged that the department, under Secretary Charles E. Wilson, is helping drive independent auto makers out of business by favoring GM. A member of the Armed Services committee, Sen. Jackson said he will give information showing that policy to the chairman and other committee members.
He made public figures supplied him by the Defense department which he said showed that net new contracts (new contracts minus
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. Henry M. Jackson last night accused the Defense department of fostering monopoly in the auto industry by concentrating contracts in General Motors.
"I strongly believe that this Wilson policy has the gravest implications not only for the health of our economy but for the safety and effectiveness of our defense production facilities as well." Sen. Jackson said in a statement.
AFL Plans Fast Meeting Finale
(cancellations) to General Motors were increased by $1.7 billion in the first 18 months of the Eisenhower administration while net contracts of all other auto makers declined by $395 million.
Los Angeles —(U.P)— Leaders of the American Federation of Labor planned a speedy windup of their 73rd annual convention today after putting finishing touches on a series of vital policy statements.
Mr. Wilson, a former GM president, became defense secretary when the Eisenhower administration took office.
Activities at the convention ground to a halt yesterday as committees met behind closed doors to work out policies for the coming year, including a stand on the House subcommittee investigation of union welfare funds.
The 700 delegates were expected to hear a long, detailed report on Rep. Samuel McConnell's subcommittee which opened hearings here last week into union welfare funds. The Pennsylvania Republican's group has heard testimony that a teamsters union official received more than $5,000 a year for three years from a Seattle, Wash., insurance broker who handled the union's $6 million welfare fund insurance.
"These figures represent a startling reversal from the situation that prevailed during the two and one-half years prior to the inauguration of the Eisenhower administration, during which the auto producers other than General Motors received more contracts than General Motors." Sen. Jackson said.
Another matter on the agenda was consideration of a foreign policy report which declared for discontinuance of the present system of economic and military aid to other nations through protracted outright grants.
Other important topics up for consideration included civil rights, social security, unemployment compensation, federally backed prepaid medical insurance, taxes and the AFL's labor league for political education.

Injured FHA IntegrityRestored
Chicago — (U.P.)—President Eisenhower said today the integrity of the Federal Housing administration, whose reputation was "injured by a few faithless men," has been restored.
"The American people can have real confidence in the agency (FHA) and its operations." Mr. Eisenhower said in a message to the 41st annual convention of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America.
The President's expression of confidence was believed to be his first direct comment on the FHA since the agency came under investigation by the Senate Banking committee for mortgage irregularities and "windfall" profit-taking.

"The integrity of the FHA has been restored," the President continued.
"The Federal Housing administration is a great agency of the federal government whose reputation, unfortunately, has been injured by our exposure of the past misdoings of a few faithless men," the President's message read.
"We have resolutely faced the triple responsibility of bringing to justice all cases of demonstrable fraud, of correcting deficiencies disclosed by our investigations and placing the FHA program in the hands of incorruptible men," Mr. Eisenhower wrote.

Washington —(U,P)— A Senate committee which regularly gets its facts in a row before permitting headlines as assembling a formidable record of war and post-war-time subversion within the government.

Charles P. Grimes succeeded Mr. Morris. Mr. Grimes is maintaining the high standard of inquiry which he inherited.
