People Want 10 Keep
Bipartisan Policies,
Conna||y Declares
No Weakening Noticed
Except in Spots He
Tells News Conference
By J. A. O'leoY

Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
expressed confidence today that
the American people want the BIZ
partisan foreign policy to continue
He also told a crowded press
conference at the Capitol that he
has not seen any weakening OF
that policy in the Senate except
in spots
Reviewing the world situation
on the eve of the new session oil
Congress, the Texan also told the
conference:
1. Marshall Plan foreign eco
nomic aid next year can take a
Stable" cut, which he defined as
any figure up to $1,000, 600, 900.
Agrees With Vandenberg on China.
2. Congress probably will be
asked to authorize further military
aid to the North Atlantic treaty
nations for the year starting July
/ and he assumed the amount
could be smaller than for the first
year.
8. He agreed with Senator VAN
denberg of Michigan, ranking Re-
publican on the Foreign Relations
Committee, that Communist China
must demonstrate obedience to in
ternational law and willingness to
protect foreign citizens before it
can hope for American recogni-
ton.
4. He would favor recognition
of Franco Spain. not because he
looks with favor on its form of
government, but it would be Ge-
sirable to have an ambassador in
that strategic area.
Sees Good Business Outlook.
5. On the domestic front, he
called for every possible economy
in Government, and called the
business outlook for 1850 good.
ALI of Senator Connally's state
ments harmonized closely with
views expressed last week by Sen
ator Vandenberg, and reflected
their continuing agreement on all
major points of foreign policy.
Senator Connally was more spe-
cific than Senator Vandenberg in
his forecast of a Marshall Plan
cut.
In the interval between the
Vandenberg and Connally pro-
nouncements several Republican
Senators-including Wherry OF
Nebraska, Watkins of Utah and
Jenner of Indiana-called for
more debate and independent
judgment in the Senate on foreign
affairs.
Morse Warns Colleagues.
At the same time. Senator
Morse, Republican, of Oregon
warned his COP colleagues against
returning to isolationism. None
Of the recent comments have indi-
Gated to Capitol Hill observers any
basic change of viewpoint among
individual Senators.
In a prepared statement Senator
Connally also sounded a gentle
hint against the dangers of going
back to isolation. He said:

Planning Group Support
Still Needed; Three-Doy
Meeting Set Jon. rs

The Commissioners today for
mally approved an extension OF
East Capitol street as the loca-
ton of the next bridge across the
Anacostia River.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in the past
has advocated construction Of the
new span along the line of Massa-
chusetts avenue Sc.
The planning commission still
has under consideration the Dis
trict Highway Departments study
calling for the East Capitol street
1occcc::.;en. It is scheduled to take
the matter up at its three day
meeting beginning January Is.
The location should have the
concurrent approval of both the
Commissioners and the planning
commission. If the two groups
disagree. the controversy pre-
sumably will 60 before Congress
for final decision.
Changes Highway Plan.
Agreement of the planning COM
mission is needed because the new
bridge will involve Federal prop
erty and because the construction
would contemplate a change in
the Districts highway plan.
John Nolen, jr., Capital plan
ming director. has made an ad-
verse report on the Highway De-
partment's recommendation and
also has recommended the Mass

The District Health Depart
ment is opposed to the Massa-

Mr.. Nolen has pointed out that

Capital Transit
Discharges 140
For Economy
Clerks, Mechanics,
Maintenance Help Go;
information Office Cut

The Capital Transit Co. an
nounced today it is dismissing
about 40 employees this week and
in January.
The largest number. 100, are
in the mechanical department.
About 20 are in the maintenance
of-way department and the rest
are clerical workers.
This is a move toward saving
money in view of the recent wage
award which gave employees 10
cents more an hour.
The company also announced
that effective January Is the
hours of the general Office infor-
nation department will be reduced
as another economy step. The
department answers questions
about schedules and about how to
get around the city by bus and
trolley. 1t is open now from 7
am. to midnight. Beginning jan
uary IS the hours will be from 8
am. to 6 pm.
Regular Employees Affected.
E. c. Giddings, vice president Of
the company. was authority for
the statement that the layoffs
and curtailment of service de-
flnitely were forced on the COM
pany as a result Of the wage
arbitration award.
He said the layoffs involved reg
ular employees of the company
and not part-time workers.
Mr.. Giddings said the company
employees approximately 5000 per-
sons altogether, of whom some
1900 are union members.
Taking $4,000 a year as the
average wage of the 40 to be let
out, the saving in payroll would
be about $685. 900 a year by this
reduction in force.
May Dismiss Others.
The company said there may be
few more employees dismissed
later in this economy move, but
insisted it would not be many.
It was learned also that about
go men are being retired under
the plan by which employees are
pensioned at IS. Almost all are
men who have passed the retire.

The minimum pension is $50 a

Union Reaction Awaited.
What the reaction of the en-
ployes' union is to the dismissals
could not be learned. William F.

manager of the union. and John
H. Goodman, financial secretary,
are out of the city. The union is

many months as a result of the
Communist conquest of China
Their ideas and efforts were pooled
for a meeting at 2:30 pm. today
of the National Security Council
bringing together the President
Secretary of State Acheson and
Undersecretary of Defense Early
Defense Secretary johnson is on
vacation.
The meeting marked the first
top level attempt to pull together
all the studies into a program OF
action.
Most public attention recently
has centered on Formosa. The
evidence is that the Truman ad-
ministration is still unwilling to dc
anything dramatic to try to help
save that island, at least until
State Department and military
observers get some evidence that
the Chinese Nationalist are de-
termined to hold and are capable
Of holding the strategic island.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff de-
cided many months ago. and more
recently reaffirmed, that Formosa
Is not vital to American security
though it would be desirable to
prevent the island from falling
into Communist hands. In their
view, the basic American defenses
in the Western Pacific rest on the
line Japan-Okinawa-P Philippines.
The new proposal to send a
military mission to Formosa-
more to look over the scene and
see what could be done than for
any other immediate purpose
apparently fits into the Frame
work of the earlier Joint Chiefs
decision that Formosa is impor-
tant but not, as of now, important
enough for the United States to
fight for with its own forces.
Diplomatic Mission on Island.
This country presently has on
the island a diplomatic-military
mission headed by a foreign serv-
ice officer, Robert c. Strong. It
includes Army, Navy and Air
Force officers. The present func-
tons of these men are in the field
of observation and liaison. They
have no assignment to train Chi
nese troops or to plan military
moves with Chang Kai-shek.

local authority's plan will be

Figures to Be Required.
Before PHA approves any spe-
cific project. the local authority
will be required to show the "ex-
pected racial occupancy" of the
project. That is, generally, how
many white families 1t will pro-
vide for, or how many Negro fam
lilies it will provide for. or how
many of both races.
At the same time. the spokes-
man said, PHA will require the
local authority to provide an es-
innate of the expected racial oc-
cupancy of other projects which
the authority plans.
Then We'll add up all of that
so that we will have picture OF
the expected racial occupancy of
all the projects at the time of
completion Of the program" the
official said.
A further check will be possible,
he said, by making comparisons
of these figures with the actual
racial occupancy of existing low
rent projects in the community.
The official added that if the
ratio as between racial groups re-
suits in equitable provisions for
families of all races. determined
on the basis of the approximate
volume and E urgency of the re-
spective needs for low income
housing" PHA will have no quar-
rel with the local authoritys pro-:
gram 50 far as racial discrimina-
ton is concerned.
Changes May Be Required.
If there should be what PHA
considers maldistribution, then
the Federal agency will require
changes to be made before ap-
proving the project.
"If-after consideration is given
to the size and urgency OF the
respective racial needs-it is
shown that half the units should
be for one race and half for an
other. we would expect that the
local authority's program-taken
as a whole-would provide accom-
modations approximately in that
proportion" he said.
