LAFF-A-DAY
BY WILLIAM THEIS
WASHINGTON—(INS)—President Eisenhower personally intervened to curb what Democratic leaders have denounced as "dastardly" partisan attacks by Administration spokesmen and other Republicans.
Mr. Eisenhower told his News Conference he has counselled his own aides to refrain from extreme partisanship in these troubled times and said he expected that to apply to the Republican National Committee as well.
The President noted that he needs bipartisan support for his "My wife's been dabbling in society again."

Legislative program-and stressed that his program was drawn up for Democrats as well as Republicans
NO LOCAL POLITICS
Mr. Eisenhower reiterated his previous statement that he will not go into any state to participate in local political contests during this year's Congressional Election Campaign.
The President's remarks on political attacks were hailed by Democrats who tagged it as a "public rebuke" for their bitterest GOP critics of recent days.
Senate minority leader Lyndon Johnson (D) Tex., said: "It is unfortunate his advisers put him in the position where he had to publicly rebuke them. I hope the Republicans for once take note of his attitude so we can proceed with the business and problems ahead in a spirit of reason and unity."
Sen. Walter George (D), Ga. warned that if confidence in government is "shaken" at this time. this would be "more harmful" than talk about recession and it itself would create a "serious economic situation"
The President's stand was in contrast to Tuesday's statement by his News Secretary. James C. Hagerty. who told newsmen Republican speakers to whom the Democrats were objecting were "just giving the people the facts" and not making attacks.
"NO CONFLICT"
Hagerty said there is no conflict between the President's remarks and his statement. He said he will stand by his statement despite Mr. Eisenhower's explanation
Mr. Eisenhower was asked to comment on the "treason" charge hurled at Democrats by Sen Joseph R McCarthy (R) Wis . who is one of the GOP Legislators now stumping the country in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday The President said he had not seen the accusation but that if the charge was made he would call it not only completely untrue but very unwise
He made no direct comment on the recent charge of Presidential assistant Sherman Adams that "political sadists" were attempting to press a "fear deal" on the country
But he said he doesn't believe all political wisdom is in one political party and aid there are good Americans in both major parties
The President said he did not think any one could frighten the country into a depression but he added that it might be possible to frighten people into a recession
