he talked with Gen. Eisenhower
yesterday and read the testimony
he gave before a Senate ap-
preparations subcommittee last
Wednesday.
Our conversation was entirely
friendly" he declared. Il am
sure after yesterday that there is
no fundamental disagreement be-
tween us"
Turning to the radar network,
he declared that it should be the
very best available and should not
be built under hySteria.
Housing Called Alaska Problem.
Gen. Eisenhower also told the
Senators that the Nations intelli-
gence should be strengthened and
that an industrial mobilization
plan should be mapped immedi-
ately. Mr.. johnson pointed out
that intelligence was directed by
the Central Intelligence Agency
and that the mobilization plan
came more directly under the Ma
tional Security Resources Board
than the Defense Department.
The main problem in Alaska. he
said, was in housing and he added
that funds provided by Congress
last year plus what is scheduled
under the defense budget were suf- :.
f1cient to take care of planned
defenses in that Northern outpost.
The Navy's anti-submarine pro-
gram can be adequately strength
ened with funds under the $13
billion budget. he declared.
The Defense Secretary said
that he had received no intelli-
gence reports about submarines
repeatedly operating off the West
Coast.
Will Talk With Finletter.
He said that he would talk with
Thomas K. Finletter during the
day. He would not comment on
reports that Mr.. Finletter will be
named as Mr.. Symington's sue
cessor.
MIR. Vinson said in a speech on
the House floor that the Presi-
dents budget did not assure ade-

"the atomic blitz of tomorrow is

He added:
1T is universally known today
that Russia is building the largest
air force in the world. What are
they building it for? They are
building it for use whenever their

Nationa|ists Charge
Russians Flew Planes
In Fight Near Shanghai
By the Associated Press

TA1PEI, FormoSa, April A.
A Nationalist air headquarters
spokesman today said Russian
built planes which downed two
Chinese Nationalist fighters un-
doubtedly were operated by Rus
slams.
The spokesman said the planes
definitely were of Russian manu-
facture. And, he added, judging
from their technique, "They most
certainly were manned by Rus
sians."
The Nationalist fighters were
shot down Sunday during a raid
on Red shipping in Hangchow
Bay, south of Shanghai.
That opposition, the first the
Nationalist have encountered in
the air in four years of civil war,
was seen by many today as an
ominous forerunner of Communist
air attacks on Formosa.
Air Cover for Invasion.
1t also led to belief the Reds
will have air cover if they attempt
an invasion of this Nationalist
island.
The air headquarters communi-
que said:
Two Chinese air Force Mus
tangs were surprise attacked by
four to five Russian planes on the
morning of April g"
The Nationalist fighters, it said,
were making low-level straf1ng
runs on Communist junks con-
centrated near Chapu on Hang
chow Bay for an amphibious
assault of the Chusan Islands.
This island group, about 100 miles
Southeast of Shanghai, is used
by the Nationalist for air and
naval bases.
Say Large Number Arrived.
The communique added:
According to an accurate in
telligence report from the main
land. a large number of Russian
planes had arrived at Hsuchow
(Suchow), 160 miles north of
Marking.
The planes were reported to
have come from the air base at
Dairen, South Manchurian port"
CThe Russians have con-
trolled Dairen since the end of
World War II. The Soviet
Union and Communist China
signed an agreement at Moscow.
February IA providing that all
properties controlled or leased
oy the Soviets at Dairen would
be turned over to the Chinese
Reds this year,
AT Hsuchow their Russian in
sigma was repainted into Chinese
Red insignia with red and white
stripes on the tail fms" the COM
munique continued.
Radar and AA Positions,
They are participating in COM
bat flights disguised as Chinese
Communist airplanes.
Aside from the main base at
Hsuchow. Russian technicians are
operating radar stations as well as
anti-aircraft emplacements in the
Shanghai and Hangchow areas"
The official National Central
News Agency has said more than
score OF Russians planes were
assembled at Shanghai last month.
1t asserted they were moved to
Suchow after Nationalist planes
damaged seven on the ground and
shot down another during a test
flight.

"misstatement of fact" Senator
McCarthy's accusation that he
was in charge of the American
Council of the Institute of Pacific
Relations when the organization
received donations from a man
described by the Senator as an
admitted Communist.
3. Mr.. baltimore released a con-
fldential memorandum given the
State Department seven months
ago, advising maximum hexibil-
ity' of American policy in the Far
East and counseling against pre-
mature or excessive strategic de-
ployment." The report was made
public after Senator Mccarthy
threatened to release it if the
State Department did not do so.
Contempt Citations Demanded.
The investigating subcommit-
tees meeting tomorrow will turn
largely on Republican demands for
contempt citations against officials
refusing to release the loyalty files
on persons accused by Senator Nc
Carthy.
However, Chairman Connally of
the full Foreign Relations Com
mittee said he doesn't believe the
committee or the Senate would
vote for citations against Secre-
tary Of State Acheson, Attorney
General McGrath and Chairman
Harry B. Mitchell of the Civil
Service Commission. The three
officials have been instructed by
President Truman to ignore the
Senate subpoenas for loyalty rec
ords.
Senator Brewster, Republican,
of Maine, who is not a member of
the Investigating Committee. said
the Senate will be in the position
of backing down" if no contempt
proceedings are ordered. In Or
dering the investigation, he
pointed out, the Senate gave the
committee subpoena power for OBJ
tanning loyalty files.
Committee to Discuss Move.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the Republican floor leader, said
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee win discuss at a meet
ing tomorrow whether the con-
tempt proceedings ought to be
pushed.
Equally tangled was whether
the committee could get at the
Mccarthy material which the
Wisconsin Republican has turned
over to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and has refused to
give to the investigating group.
Senator Mccarthy has said he
does not want to expose his source
of information-the same reason
given by the FBI for not releasing
its information.
Senator Tydings hinted there
may be some way of forcing
Senator Mccarthy to turn ever
his material in the baltimore
case. But it appeared that Sen
ator Mccarthy could ignore a
subpoena since he would have
congressional immunity.
Recheck of Cases Ordered.
AS an alternative to letting the
Senate group look at the loyalty
files, President Truman has or
dered the Civil Service Loyalty
Review Board to recheck the cases
of about IS persons accused by
Senator Mccarthy Of being Sc
curity risks in the State Depart
ment.
Chairman Tydings said that
Seth w. Richardson, chairman OF
the board, would be asked to give
the committee a report tomorrow
on this study.

tered Senator McCarthy's charges

Senators Tydings. Connally and
Lucas, the Democratic leader, said
it would be impractical to turn
the present investigation over to
the commission proposed by Sen
ator Lodge.
Senator Mccarthy backed the
proposal despite the fact that
Senator Lodge in presenting it
said that thus far there had been
no proof to support the Nc
Carthy charges. This apparently
included the baltimore case on
which Senator Mccarthy has said
he was willing to let his whole
case stand or fall.
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can, of Iowa, a member of the
investigating subcommittee, said
he would support the commission
idea only if it becomes impossible
for the group to get the files.

for naming a commission as sug-
