day news conference, said he per-
sonally would not have subpoenaed
Truman er Supreme Court Justice
Tom Clark.
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty said that, aside from any in-
fluence these personal views at Ei-
senhower may have had, the White
House exerted no persuasion on
the Republican committee mem-
bers to abandon the project.
It was learned, however, that
White Houae staff members made
their views known to GOP mem-
bers of the House committee, eith-
er directly or through intermedi-
aries. .
The GOP National Committee
also moved into the picture
(crest to the United States and
Canada.
Important among those matters
are continental defense against
any enemy attack, the St. Law-
rence seaway and power projects,
and expansion of trade.
As for trade, the two govern
ments announced yesterday the
creation of a joint committee to
deal with matters in that field. A
White House statement said the
committee's activities “will consti-
tute one aspect of the efforts of
both countries in promoting satis-
factory trade relations on a multi-
lateral basis throughout the free
world.”
Before the Eisenhower train left
for New York City last night it
was twice held up for mechanical
repairs while being switched and
