KiIgore Says Restudy
0fU. 5. Foreign Policy
Should Be Private
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Kilgore, Democrat, OF
West Virginia today urged that
any "re-examination" of foreign
policy be conducted privately so
as not to weaken Americas posi-
tion in the world while the facts
are being learned.
This business of rehaShing old
decisions and bringing up past
actions is far more dangerous to
the security of our country than
anything else" said the West vir-
ginian.
He was commenting on the de-
mands Senator Taft Of Ohio and
other Republicans have been max
ing since their election victories
for a restudy of the scope of aid
to other nations.
COP Contest for Place.
AS foreign policy continued up
permost in the minds of most re-
turning members, there also were
signs today that Democrats as
well as Republicans may stage a
contest for vacancies on the i'm
portant Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
The Democrats will have only
two places to fill on Foreign Re-
1ations, but already three names
are being NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Sparkman of Alabama, Gillette of
Iowa and Benton of Connecticut.
For several days there have been
. reports that some Republicans
may push Senator Knowland of
California for the one Republican
opening. in preference to Senator
Morse Of Oregon, who has been
waiting for a place on Foreign
Relations since 1916.
Senator Kilgore joined another
Democrat, Senator Fulbright of
Arkansas, in putting in a few kind
words for Secretary of State
Acheson today.
Acheson Support Urged.
After all, Mr.. Acheson is our
Secretary of State and apparently
will continue to be-" said Senator
Fulbright. LAS such he is entitled
to support"
Senator Kilgore said he believes
Mr.. Acheson has shown "a ytre-
mendous amount of ability" in
handling the Korean crisis and
deserves the backing of Congress
in the critical months ahead.
Over the week end, however,
one of the new Republican Sena-
tors-Welker Of Idaho-joined in
the chorus of criticism of the
Secretary of State. He said Mr..
Acheson has "lost face with the
world" and outlived his useful
ness in the cabinet.
All Republicans are not going
that far. Senator Flanders, Re-
publican, of Vermont favors
resurvey of foreign policy. but is
not demanding that Secretary
Acheson CO..
Senator Flanders said that while
the Secretary's mistakes will hang
on his coat-tails for a long time"
he believes Mr.. Acheson has dore
"a real good job lately and should
remain in his post for a while"
The Vermonter added that if
the Republicans are going to con-
tinue to criticize present and past
policy in Asia they should put
forward constructive program
for that part of the world.

Although the earth is con-

collisions occur only one in 1877
times as often as at sea level.
The plates carried aloft by the
balloon are accordingly expected

Each plate will carry a notice
offering the finder three pounds

from outer space.
The particles themselves are too
small to be seen under any micro
