Military Funds Needs
Are Still Undecided

Chairman Mahon of the House
Military Appropriations subcom-
mittee said yesterday Congress
may have to stay on the job until
the end of the year because mill
tary budget planners haven't de-
cided how much more money they
want.
The question of providing extra
funds will come before the lame
duck session beginning tomorrow.
Many legisls tors have expressed
hope Congress can act quickly
on this and a few other matters,
and then go home for good.
Mr.. Mahon said he was very,
very disappointed that after two
and one-half months, during
which nothing happened that was
not expected. the military lead
ers have not yet decided on how
much additional money is needed" :"
He told a. reporter that estimates
of SO billion or $12 billion emer-
gency arms budget are "just specu-
lation" because defense leaders
haven't given Congress anything
to work with.

'Moderaies' inc. 0.P,
Offer Cooperation
In Foreign Policy
By Jack Bell
Asseeioted Press Sioff Writer

Republicans who call themselves
"moderates" offered the admins
tration its best hope today of get
ting two-party cooperation on
foreign policy in the next Congress.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
who heads the conference of all
Republican Senators, nominated
himself as one of the "moderates"
who can work with Secretary Of
State Acheson and others if Of
fered what he called common
denomination" on which to base
policies. Senator Millikin didn't
say so. but he obviously expects
Senator Taft of Ohio, chairman
Of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, to take a leading role
among the "moderates" who will
go along with administration poll
cies they believe are sound.
Both Senator Millikin and Sen
ator Taft have indicated they hope
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan is able to play again
his role Of foreign policy pacesetter
and peacemaker among the Re-
publicans when he returns in
January.
COP. Balance Wheel.
More than anybody else, Senator
Millikan has been a balance wheel
for the Republicans. He isn't cas-
lily ruffled, doesn't bear erudges
and always is a quick man with
q compromise.
The Colorado Senator travels a
middle route between those OF his
party on one hand who want to
tear the administrations policies
wide open, force the firing of Sec
retary Acheson and generally up
set cart they contend is CARRY
Ing q lot Of bad apples: and the
much smaller group which sup
ports the administrations policies
without too much questioning.
Almost unanimously the Repub-
licans have reserved the right to
criticize the administrations de-
cisions. Senator Knowland, Re-
publican. of California, says lot
of those decisions are wrong. Sen
ator Morse, Republican, of Oregon,
said he agrees with the objectives
but not with the manner in which
some Of them are carried out.
Scores Acheson.
Senator Millikin stands aside
for no colleague in using what he
regards as his right to criticize.
For example he said that Mr..
Acheson was dealing in ACHE
sonian Jackassery" in attacking
Republican "re-examinists" as a
new type of isolationists.
Mr.. Acheson has indicated he
made o mistake, saying his re-
marks were misinterpreted and
that he is not against congress

istration's handling of foreign af-
fairs. Il,
Senator Millikin has met this
with the stipulation that some

of Chang Kai-shek'S armies which
surrendered to the Communists.
The absence of Red Army vet
erans had convinced many obser-
tvers the Chinese Communist in
tervention here is a political ges-
ture rather than a serious military
effort.
Hwang Al, a simple private first
class from Kwantung Province,
told the Americans to whom he
surrendered he would rather join
others moving north than, fight
the U. N. army.
Only time will tell whether he
spoke truthfully or was merely
repeating a prepared story.
Many of the men whose job
is to fight the Reds are inclined
to believe Hwang.
But, fortunately, they are not
letting the evidence that is piling
up convince them the Red enemy
has folded-or that the war will
be over next week.

Russians Attempt To Bar Trygve Lie disappointment

LAKE SUCCESS, .P)-The U. s. and it's friends rallied behind Trygve Lie today in an effort to keep him as United Nations sec retary general despite Russian opposition.
 Soviet deputy foreign minister Jacob A. Malik yesterday used Russia's 46th veto in the Security Council to block a second five year term for the Norwegian dip lomat as head of the world or ganization.
 Lies term expires Feb 2, 1851.
 U. s. representative Warren R. Austin, as October president of the Council, sent letter to Mas rollah Entezam of Iran, president of the veto-free General Assem- bly,, saying that the Council had failed to agree on reelection.
 Most delegations were agreed that this left the problem up to the Assembly, although it was ex- pected that the Russians would attempt to maintain that nothing could be done without their ex- press consent.
 Austin, talking to reporters af ter the secret session of the cOun- cil, said:
 "There was never moment of doubt in our the American posi- ton. We have been for Lie from the beginning. We consider him exceptionally gifted with extra ordinary characteristics fitting him for this job for which there is no precedent"
 Shown a copy of Austin's re- marks, Lie was very pleased. The secretary general had been down. cast by the Soviet veto and wor- ried that he had failed, in his job.
 May take copy of this home to show Mrs. Lie?" he asked.

Alaska Children: Their Needs, How We Meet Them
(Alaska Commission on Children and Youth ...a

(AlaSka Commission on Children and Youth >'. -,.
 Much has been said in these columns about the attitudes of and toward children. Today we want to mention one of the force full factors which impress :chil- dren-parents.
 As the tWig is bent so shall the tree grow" Children are most impressionable from birth to the age of six years. From six until twelve years the impressions gained earlier are cemented. It beh0oves parents to subjugate themselves - make sacrifices to give up pleasures and other rights" f'need be-to the rearing of their young ones. Parents should have religion and prac- tice it, as this is one of the best means of giving children a sense of security. They must show at least minimum of affection and regard for each other in the pres ence of children; settle any differ ences when the children are not present. Both must show love and solicitude for children by word and action.
 With these few basic principles honestly carried out children have a wonderful start in life. To keep on as the children grow, practice tolerance at home-toler- ance toward your neighbor who may have a different color skin, a religion other than your own. a political viewpoint at variance to yours.
 Profanity has no place within the walls of your home; avoid it.. Little pitchers have big ears" In homes where either or both par ents cannot handle liquor it should not be used. It is criminal to ne-

glect children because of a crav- ing for intoxicants. We hope we have no readers in that category, but if we have we suggest now you make a solemn promise to avoid liquor. Whatever it takes in willpower will reward you an un- told number of times.
 Give the youngsters responsi- bilities within their age limits, and help them. Above all, par ents, do not nag. Little seeds of kindness, thought, care, joy, CO., operation and affection will grow to the hybrid flower of successful parenthood.

Virginia Asks Building
OF Approach From
Bridge 10 Parkway
Bv Robert e. RoIlinos

Virginia and Arlington authori-
ties want the Federal Government
to build an approach from the
Virginia end Of Key Bridge to
the up-river lane of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
1t was learned yesterday.
The newest section of the park
way Unit III extends from the
bridge up the Potomac to Spout
Run, where it turns and follows
the stream, connecting with the
Arlington highway system at
Lorcom Lane. Ultimately, it is
to be built as far as Great Falls,
almost 18 miles from Key Bridge.
Paving work began last week
and the new. dual-lane road is
expected to be ready for traffic
in about three months.
10000 Vehicles a Day.
AS now planned, down river
parkway traffic will be able to get
onto Key Bridge, but vehicles
coming across the bridge from
Washington will not be able to
get on the parkway. Nor will up
river traffic from the direction
of Memorial Bridge be able to
get off the parkway at Key Bridge.
Ofdcials of the State and
county, which together pay half
the cost Of land for the parkway,
point out that under present
plans. the parkway would not
benefit Virginia. bound motorists
who use Key Bridge. An esti-
mated 10000 vehicles pass over
the span daily.
A Bureau of Public Roads off,
cial estimated recently the cost
Of an approach from Key Bridge
at 100000 to $250,000. An Ar
lington official expressed the pri-
vate opinion that the figure is
high, although detailed estimates
have not been worked out.
County Share Approved.
The disclosure that the ap-
proach is being urged by Virginia
and Arlington authorities was
made by County Manager A. T.
Lundberg before the Arlington
County Board.
The board passed a resolution
authorizing issuance of a $62,50O
check for the county's share of a
portion Of right-of-way money
for Units III and w of the park
way The State will put up S62,-
500 and the total will be matched
by the Federal Government.
Units III and w will carry the
parkway from Spout Run to the
Arlington-Fairfax line, about "a
mile above Chain Bridge. Total
cost of the land is estimated at
$60O,000. Arlington has made
provision for payment of it's share
In the next two fiscal years.

Gen. Chen vi, Former
Chang Aide, Executed
For Plot With Reds
BY the As.oeiossd Press

TAIPEI. Formosa. June 1S. -
Gen. Chen vi. once one of Chang
Kai-shek's high lieutenants. was
executed today on charges of con-
spring with the Communists.
The 67-year-old general, first
Nationalist postwar governor of
Formosa, was shot to death this
morning. Gen. Chang himself ap-
proved the death sentence yester-
day.
Political quarters said Chiang's
decision showed he means business
in his avowed intention to fight to
the death on Formosa.
Chen is not to be confused with
Gen. Chen vi, commander of
Communist armies in East China.
The announcement said the
general pleaded guilty before a
courtmartial to charges of collabo-
ration and trying to get a high
Nationalist army officer to surren-
der to the Reds in January, 1949.
Outlined Surrender Conditions.
At that time Gen. Chen was
governor of Chekiang, the east
coast province south of Shanghai.
Chen was accused of writing a
personal letter to Gen. Tang
En-po outlining conditions for a
proposed surrender. Tang then
commanded Nationalist forces in
the vital Shanghai Marking :
Hangchow area.
Tang was said to have ordered
Chen's arrest Immediately. Chen
was taken to Formosa. This never
has been disclosed before.
Tang once was Chen's subordi-
nate and owed his rise to Chen'S
power and influence. Tang is
credited with telling friends the
denunciation of Chen was repug-
nant but duty offered him no
choice,
