In this way, it is hoped that at
least some of the program can be
salvaged But it's acknowledged
that the outlook for much of the
program is not very bright.
The bills with at least a chance
of passage are the ones to increase
Government employees per diem
travel allowances from Sc to $40
day, increase injury compensa-
ton benefits for Federal workers,
pay increases to District Govern
ment employees and provide some
sort of salary increases for top
Government executives.
There seems to be little or no
prospect that Congress will ap-
prove a rank-and- file pay raise
for Government employees, and
even the prospect for general re-
vision of the Federal Classification
Act doesn't seem too good at the
moment. And the same may be

according to reports reaching the

TOgliatti Echoed ThOrez.
Several days ago, Thorez, the
French Communist leader, pro-
claimed. the idea that If the time
ever came when Soviet armies
drove an enemy into France
French Communists would well
come them. The same line was
somewhat more strongly put in
Italy yesterday. Togliatti, the
Italian Communist chief. sug-
gested that the Italian people
should cooperate with such
forces.
Diplomatic authorities here be-
lieve that this kind of talk by the
Communist leaders serves at least
two purposes. 1t dramatizes the
thought that Soviet armies might
in fact fight on French and
Italian soil some day. 1t also sets
up standard by which French
and Italian Communists can de-
termine whether they would be
Communist to the bitter end if
the showdown came or whether
their loyalties would belong first
to France and Italy.
Considering these situations in
Western Europe and also the in
creasing speculation over possible
Soviet pressures on Finland and
Norway. officials here doubt that
the spring of 1949 will lead the
world away from its jitters.

Congress Will Ignore
Truman Deadline on
Tariff Act, Taft Says
BY fhe Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican of
Ohio, predicted yesterday that
Congress will ignore the March 4
deadline President Truman has
asked for extending his authority
to reduce tariffs under reciprocal
trade agreements.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee leader said Republi-
cans will discuss the entire ad-
ministration program on trade
and tariff policies before the SEN
ate acts on the extension.
ut will not be filibuster, but
it's going to be a complete debate,
Senator Taft said.
He said Republicans would go
thoroughly into the general agree
ment on tariffs and trade, signed
by the United States and % other
countries at Geneva, in 1947, and
the international trade agreement,
signed at Havana last March by
So Nations.
Peril Points" to be Stressed.
Senator Taft also predicted that
Mr.. Truman will receive from the
Federal Tariff Commission on
March 5 list of several hundred
peril points" involved in dozen
pending trade agreements. These.
as defined in the tariff law passed
by the last, Republican-controlled
Congress, are points below which
tariff reduction would cause or
threaten seriously injury to do
mestic industry"
Under that provision, if the
President slashes United States
import duties below peril points
in bargaining with other nations
to increase trade, he must explain
why to Congress and also supply
| it with the secret peril point" list
involved.
House Democratic leaders sue
tceeded in knocking out this pro-
vision when they put through the
House a three-year extension of
the trade agreement law, dated
back to June II of last year. But
the Senate hasn't acted and the
Republican law still stands.
George Abandons Plan.
Senator Millikin, Republican, Of
Colorado, remarked that If the
Senate followed the lead of the
House, Mr.. Truman could ignore
the peril point" provision intend
ed to protect domestic industries.
In line with Democratic leader
ship plans, Chairman George of
the Senate Finance Committee
tried to push the House-approved
trade bill through his committee
last week.. That would have
allowed Senate action tomorrow
But he abandoned these plans
yesterday because Senate Major
| ity Leader Lucas has scheduled
Senate action tomorrow on con-
troversial antifllibuster rule.
Senator Millikin. who was
chairman OF the Finance Com
mittee in the last Congress-, has
spent the past three days ques-
tioning a State Department trade
official about the reciprocal pro-
gram and the Geneva and
Havana trade agreements. He
said he is Just getting a good start
on sentence e-by-sentence exam
ination of the lengthy Geneva
agreement which was not sent to
CONGRESS for approval.

Final Round Is at Hand
|nlontroversy Over
Atlantic Security Pact
hx the AsSoeiotad Press

"A IlIid1 4Uu1lO Vi COlIAO AONCloy 10
at hand over creation of a North
Atlantic security treaty and a new
case of cold war nerves for the
world appears certain.
AS fresh waves of Communist
propaganda billowed over Europe,
speculation arose yesterday over
possible Russian pressureS on Fin
land and Norway. These added to
tensions which may briefly sharp
en- the debate within the Western
countries over the security project
itself.
Communist leaders in Western
Europe are expected to intensity
the purging of their followers and
to try to implant in the minds of
Western European people gen.
orally fear of being overrun by
the Red Army if they line up their
forces in the alliance. The latest
statements of Communist Leaders
Maurice Thorez in France and
Palmiro Togliatti in Italy are
being studied here for evidences of
Communist developments along
these two lines.
meanwhile. the State Depart
nsent is bracing itself for the i'm
pct of public debate here at
h9me when the treaty text Is
made public in about two weeks.
Hopes To Finish Draft.
Secretary Of State Acheson will
meet with ambassadors of the
oSher six nations again tomorrow
OF Tuesday, and hopes to wind up
drafting work by the end of the
week. After that the other gov
ernments will have to give their
final approval or suggest last
minute changes. Those govern
ments are Canada, Britain, France.
Italy. Belgium. The Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
Both in this country and abroad
arguments and potential opposi-
ton are building up. It is these
which the negotiating governments
must be prepared to meet as the
time for full public discussion
draws near.
In this country indications
reaching the State Department
are that major arguments will
focus on two points: Cd that the
projected alliance may weaken the
United Nations (Whereas support
ers say 1t will be strengthened,
and 90 that the United States
may be involving itself too deeply
in European affairs.
Value Of Pact an Issue.
In Europe the argument takes a
different form. Reports reaching
here indicate that people will be
concerned almost exclusively with
the question Of whether the treaty
in fact offers them the real Sc
curity they want against the dan
ger Of a Russian attack.
Because this is the great issue
1t fixes the line on which the
Gemmunists are trying to fight out
thef@ opposition to the treaty,
branded by Moscow as an aggres-
sive move by the West against
Russia.
On the one hand, as diplomats
see it, the Communist arguments
hold that the Western powers
strive to start a new war while
Russia works only for peace and
the people who want peace should
therefore line up with her.
On the other hand, the Com
munists are said to contend that
II trouble comes the powerful So
Wet armies can overrun Western
Europe speedily and the forces of
the West will not be able to stop
them.
Along with propaganda, the
Communists in Eastern and West
ern Europe alike have been purg-
ing their ranks down to hard
core of party faithful who could
be counted on in a showdown.
