Truman Message Hits
'PiecerneaI Approach
To Use OF Resources
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

President Truman chided Con-
gress yesterday for taking what he
termed a "piecemeal approach" to
the problem of developing the Ma
tion's water resources.
He said that in a number of in
stances Congress gave primary re-
sponsibility for such work to the
Corps Of Army Engineers and
failed to give proper consideration
to other interested Government
agencies and to the States them
selves.
Declaring that Congress has not
adjusted its procedures to the in
herent requirements of Federal re-
source development work" Mr..
Truman acknowledged that the
executive branch which he heads
has not always done as good a job
Of planning as it should.
I'VE are long way still, both
In the executive and legislative
branches. from the kind of COM
prehenSive planning and action
that is required if we are to con-
serve, develop and use our natural
resources so that they will be in
creasingly useful as the years go
by" Mr.. Truman said.
The major portion of his 1900
word message to Congress dealt
with what he called instances in
which Congress disregarded plan
ming and recommendations by the
administration.
The message was comment on
the recently approved SIT billion
rivers and harbors authorization
bill Mr.. Truman signed last week.

u. 5. Intent 10 Send
Troops Abroad for
Defense Is Denied
By fhs A.,oeiosed Press

Some responsible officials de-
clared today that the adminiStra-
ton is giving no thought to the
idea of bolstering the defenses of
any Of the North Atlantic coun-
tries with American troops.
Aside from the arrangement by
which B-29 bombers are stationed
in Britain. no such reinforcement
has been proposed by any of the
Western nations. a reporter was
told.
Suggested by Barkley.
Vice President Barkley sug-
gested in a New Orleans address
that the time might come when
American occupation forces
may be sent to other countries.
Later he explained what he had
in mind was a possible request
for troops from some of the other
II nations in the North Atlantic
compact to round out their de-
fenSes.
Other officials. who refused tc
be quoted by name, were inclined
to view Mr.. Barkley's suggestion as
speculation on the future. ad-
vanced on his own responsibility
They saw it as based on the
troubled State of Western rela-
tions with the Soviet bloc and the
military assistance this country
already is giving Western European
and other nom Communist nations
No Hint of Consideration.
There has been no hint that the
matter came up for action OF
serious consideration at the Lon
don meeting of the North Atlantic
Council this month. Public dis
closures of the defense planning
have indicated the United States
is being looked to in the Western
lineup for air and naval power
and for munitions rather than
manpower.
Should American forces be sent
to other countries in a future
emergency. informed authorities
believe it would be under q
special arrangement like that by
which the B-29 squadrons in
England help safeguard the conti-
nent. as we'll as Britain. against
aggression.

By John A. Giles

Congress will be asked to SUBJ
poena Sally Dewey. key witness ir
charges of irregularities at the
Army's finance center in ST
Louis. to testify before a House
Armed Services Subcommittee.
Chairman Kilday announced the
subcommittee's decision today
after Mrs. Dewey refused an in
vitation to appear on the grounds
that it would be a further waste
Of public funds only to reiterate
my previous testimony"
Mrs. Dewey. who has made 112
allegations against the finance
center, turned down the tele-
graphed invitation on the grounds
she had already submitted the in
formation to the Inspector Gene
raj, Army Counter-I Intelligence
and the House Post Office Com
mittee. The information she said
she gave to Counter Intelligence
involves alleged Communist activ.
ity at the center.
Open Hearings Planned.
The subcommittee sent the in
vitation after deciding to hold
open hearings. Mrs. Dewey, q
former employe. is credited with
precipitating the series of in
quiries by the Army and by Con-
gress.
Charles A. johnson of the Gen
eral Accounting ONCE testified
that agency's investigators hao
turned up nothing to indicate
gross negligence or an attempt tc
defraud the Government in its in
veStigation of the charges made
by Mrs. Dewey.
He also added that he had nc
knowledge of any Government
checks having been forged at the
center.
The witness went into some de-
tail Of the GAO investigation OF
the charges. including one that g
worker attempted to get away
with some 800 undelivered family
allowance checks.
Denied Charges.
Mr.. johnson said the accused
worker denied the charges and Of.
fered to take a lie-detector test Il
her accuSer would also submit tx
such a test. He added it was not
the GAO policy to ask any one tt
take such a test, but that the &C.
cuser, Mrs. Dewey, heard the offer
I'VE found no evidence to show
that the checks were removed" hs
said.
He added that one of the work
erS from whose desk most of the
checks were supposed to have
been taken later had been dis.
charged because of alleged dis.
loyalty and that the GAO investi.
gators had not been able to inter.
rogate her.
The Army has had the largest
group of inspectors on the case
in its entire investigative history

TOKYO, Dec. 20 (P.-An off,

Republic Government was ordered
withheld yesterday on the grounds
of military security but was later
released after publication in Seoul.
The official written statement
given to Associate Press Core
spondent Bill Shinn, outlined
plans of the Korean Social Affairs
Ministry for the evacuation of
civilians from South Korean cit
les. including Seoul. in the event
military necessity dictated such a
course.
After Mr.. Shinn's story was sent
out and circulated in the United
States. it was called to the atten-
ton of United States military au-
thorities in Tokyo. They ruled
that military security was involved
and requested that the story be
eliminated. This was done.
Later, however, it was learned
that details of the plan had been
released for publication in Korean
newspapers. Such publications
made it no longer a security mat
ter.
