President Eisenhower said no emergency action is needed for unemployment and that no man should sit in judgment on his own case amid Sen. McCarthy’s investigations. He noted March’s typical upturn but urged caution before any large scale measures. He outlined ongoing analyses of the economy and cited Easter timing as a factor in consumer buying.
