Truman Puts No" TO Suu-
gesied ProposaI-Mrs.
Coming, However

WASHING T ON, Nov. 26.-tR-
President Truman today rejected a
suggestion that Chang Kai-shek be
invited to this country to present
the Chinese Governments plight in
person.
This suggestion was advanced by
Rep. Sol Bloom (D-NYD who is
slated to be chairman OF the House
Foreign Affairs committee when the
new Congress organizes in January.
Bloom told reporters at the White
House that Mr.. Truman didn't see
how Chang could leave China at
this time"
After talking it over with Mr..
Truman, Bloom said, he agreed. But
ne added what we need is real in
formation about the Chinese situa-
ton.
Blooms call on the President CO.
incided with news from the State
Department that the Chinese Cen
eralissimo's wife, Madame Chang
Kai-shek, is planning visit to the
United States.
When, or for what purpose, was
not known here.
Chang hes written personally to
President TrunWn in behalf of his
hard pressed Nation list Govern
ment, battered by southwark adj
vanclng Communist forces.
The Chinese Embassy said mean
while it had been advised by the
Marking Government that Madame
Chang is planning to come to the
United States, but did not know
when she is planning to make the
trip or under whose auspices she
would come here.
Michael j. McDermott. State De-
partment press officer, earlier had
indicated that no official invitation
had been extended to her by this
government.

OF What Congress May Do With
Proposed Costs Of US. Defenses
By EDWIN 3. PARKINSON

WASHINGTON, N oV 26.-ld1
Senator Tydings D-MD) served
notice on the Armed Services today
that the new Congress will aim at
a sl5,0O00 100000 ceiling on defense
costs next year
I'VE must keep America strong
and the world at peace" he said,
ebut do that with the idea that the
taxpayer also must survive
I'VE will cut out every bit OF
military expense that is not fully
Justified he told reporter
Tydings is due TO become chair
man OF the Senate armed services
committee when the Democrats take
over Congress January 3. He also
will be a ranking member of the
Appropriations Committee, which
had 4 hold Oh government purse
strings.
1T is my hope" he said, that for
purely armed services at home and
abroad we will make expenditures
less and certainly no greater than
the present year"
The current defense budget ranges
around $4,000, 100000. But next year,
tydings said, we may be able to
cut it to 14i@, ii or IL. Wen have
to re little tough and make them
prove their cases"
Tydings said the Armed Services
Comm .ttee plans to call in Secretary
sof State Marshall and Secretary OF
Defense Forrestal at the start of
the next Congress for full report
on world conditions.
Commenting hat defense and
foreign occupation policies are not
static propositions" the veteran
senator said.
1--WE want to be brought up to
date on the hazards to peace both
in the East and the West. Then we
want to know how they affect the
peace of our own nation
He said the armed services group
also VIII take a fresh look at the
draft law to see how it is meeting
military manpoWer needs.
Tydings said he plans to reintro-
duce legislation to put the air force
on full 70-group combat basis.
The House approved such a plan last
session but the Senate later modi-
fled it.
At the same time he expressed
opposition to any special Congress
,sional inquiry into chickering's be-
tween the Air Force and Navy. No
one expected the unificat.on act to
work smoothly" right away, Tyd-
ings said.

WASHINGTON Secretary of
State Marshall, now pushing SO
and inclined to worry, has come
back to washington reasonably en-
couraged about the Russian situa-
ton.
He has reported to the White
House and others that the Berlin
airlift has been tremendous de-
feat for the Soviet and that the
Russians are worried over the way
public opinions has turned against
them at the Paris sessions OF the
United Nations.
In general Marshall believes
that come next spring, when the
Russians see the airlift can be
carried on the year around, they
will find their own way OF lifting
the Berlin blockade.
Marshall reports disturbed state
of mind inside Soviet councils for
two reasons:

progress than generally realized.

consistently voted the Russians
down. In contrast to the New
York UN meeting last year, where
Russian propaganda was much

sumption Of normal American
shipping.
Negotiators in the 86-day CLIO

Coast announced settlement terms
last night. Earlier in the day ne
gotiators agreed on peace in the
17-day strike OF AFL longshoremen
on the Atlantic Coast.
Both tentative agreements must
be ratified by the union member
ship before some Sis strike bound
ships put to sea.

ployers announced in New York
today that they had accepted the

out with the aid OF federal media

but the longshore terms are con-
sidered the key to peace. The
iiour other unions scheduled meet

The Pacific tieup, second long
est in history. has cost by estimate
Of the Pacific American Ship
owners about s344, 000,000 in trade
at the rate OF s4.OO0,000 day.
Basic Wage Increase
The negotiators agreement will
boost the western longshore basic
wage by Is cents to $l82 an hour,
which was the amount the union
was asking when it struck Sept. 2.

lively agreed ON a Is cent hike
