Asked whether t h e r e had been

Ika Receives Report
Eisenhower arrived here ft wn
Washington Wednesday for the
start of an extended vacation
mixed with work. He got a new
report Thursday regarding the sit-

to the Newport Country club for a
first round of golf there. .
Hagerty told a news conference
the Faubus telegram to Eisen-
hower was delivered to the White
House in Washington at 1:15 a.m.
Thursday—after the governor had
made it public.
Hagerty noted the Washington
delivery time and added “we have
a rule” under which the president
personally does not reply to tele-
grams or letters which have been
made public before they reach
him. ।
