MR. ACHESON:
I think it grew out of President Roosevelt's facility at this sort
of thing, and his en joyment of it, and that led eserybody else to
bel ieve that they had to do it or to be shown not to be true men.
I don it see why at a press conference at which questions ar e put
in in advance and are carefully thought out and answers prepared
and conducted in a very S trict way, isn't the blest thing to do.
I th ink we have now come to the ultimate bl absurdity of this
press conference, whore they are printing at the present t ime the
full transcript of President Eisenhower's press conference. The
that instead of
only change being/having "I" in, it says "the President felt that ",
and then it goes on and quotes him verbatim.

our spokesman.
MR. ACHESON:
It's a terrible thing.
