thus created"
2. The Governor made it clear
he Is not indorsing all aspects OF
administration foreign policy, or
present fiscal and economic poll
cies on the domestic front.
Cites Need of Foreign Materials.
8. Banning troops for Europe
would be taken all over the world
as a signal that the United States
has hauled down its flag"
4. He listed II critical materials
this country gets from remote
parts of the world, and without
which it would be defenseless if
it had to make an isolated stand.
Answering the opposition argu-
ment that the other II other
North Atlantic Treaty nations
should first demonstrate a will to
defend themselves, Gov. Dewey
closed his text as follows:
"I would not for one moment
propose sending one single soldier
to Europe if it were not fact
that Europe was moving to de-
fend herself. If I thought, as
some seem to think, that Europe
was indefensible I would have the
courage of my convictions and
call for the withdrawal of all our
ground armies, air forces and
naval installations in Europe i'm
mediately. If I believed the
world was going to come down
about our ears inevitably, then ]
would say. Let it come down with
out the unnecessary sacrifice of
the boys who are there on the
ground and those who would be
lost in fruitless naval or air war;
fare. But I do not hold those
defeatist views" ;"
Governor Exudes Optimism.
On the contrary. Gov. Dewey
exuded optimism over the chances
of the free world to unite and
convince the Krernlin it could not
win world war.
AS the Governor answered
committee questions, he made
these additional points:
l. The military strength of
Spain, Greece, Turkey and Yugo-
slavia should be brought into the
Western European defense plan.
He observed that when my coun-
try is in peril, I'm not too fussy
about who helps defeat the
enemy"

Firm 10 Be Selected
tomorrow 10 Survey
North Virginia Sewage

An engineering firm to survey
sewage disposal problems of Alex
andria. Arlington. Fairfax and
Falls Church is due to he$chosen
tomorrow by an interim commit
tee set up by the four jurisdic-
tior1S.
Robert w. Cox, Arlington Coun-
ty Board member who Is chair
man Of the committee. said that
three engineering proposals which
have been made differ extensively
as to the amount of time which
the survey will require. But there
is no large difference in the cost
estimates. he added.
The object Of. the survey is to
determine the most economical
and efficient method for the four
communities to dispose Of sewage;
for each jurisdiction to have its
own disposal plant as Is planned
at present: for the four commune
ties to build one disposal plant
in nearby Virginia: to build two
or more regional plants for
Northern Virginia or for all four
communities to join. in piping
sewage across the Potomac River
to the District disposal plant at
Blue Plains.
Choice of Firms Delayed.
Last week, the interim commit
tee interviewed representatives of
firms that submitted the three en-
gineering proposals. A choice of
firms was deferred. however, be-
cause all members of the interim
committee were unable to attend.
Tomorrow's meeting will be held
at pm. in the Alexandria City
Hall
Once the committee agrees
which firm should make the sur
yey, the governing bodies of the
four Jurisdictions will be asked
to put up share of funds for the
survey. Cost estimates of the en-
gineering firms will not be dis
closed until a firm Is selected,
Mr.. Cox said.
The interim committee, which
was created last December at the
suggestion of Mr.. Cox, had hoped
to have the engineering survey
under way by this time. Diff
Guilty in getting the nine commit
tee members together and in ar
ranging meetings that engineer
ing representatives could attend
has caused some delay, however,
Mr.. Cox said.
Speed Held Essential.
The committee chairman ex-
planned that speed is essential in
accomplishing the survey be-
cause two of the Jurisdictions in
volved-Arlington and Fairfax
are ready to go ahead on their
own, and the city of Alexandria
has been ordered by the State
Water Control Board to have a
disposal system operating by July.
1852.
Arlington, which is planning
to enlarge its plant, is the only
one of the four jurisdictions which
treats its sewage.
Engineering firms that have
submitted proposals are: Alex
ander Potter Associates of New
York and Greely g. Hanson of
Chicago, who have submitted a
joint proposal; Alvord, Burdick &
Howson of Chicago, and Gannett,
Fleming. Corddry g. Carpenter of

1947 speech that, if and when
American troops were withdrawn

Wherry Takes Over Quiz.
When Senator Wherry took over
the questioning he began by in
sisting his resolution merely seeks
to delay presidential commitments
on troops until Congress adopts
the policy. and he said he thinks
the decision of the two commit
tees will be that there should be
no restrictions.
Senator Wherry asked the Gov
ernor If he believed the sending
of one. five or more divisions
would provoke q Russian attack
The answer was, mo-"
'Are you still against the
tWhery) resolution" the Ne
braska Senator pressed.

tly replied. He explained he is
against it because it has become
symbol of broader policy.
Urges Study of Present Issue.
DO you want the President or
Congress to make the policy?,"
asked Senator Wherry.
"I should hope Congress would
provide the money and the man
power" said the Governor. "con-
tinue to have faith in the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and in Gen. Eisen-
hower-then beat this resolution
to demonstrate to the world that
we intend to dcfc-t - IN
Europe"
When Senator Wherry sought
to show that supporters of the
North Atlantic Treaty gave the
impression In 1949 Senate debate
that Congress would implement
the treaty, Gov. Dewey said he
thought it more important to con-
slider what should be done under
the conditions prevailing in Feb
ruary, 1851.
The discussion turned to the
Wherry alternative of relying on
a ring of outlying air bases to
deter Russia from attacking
Europe. Gov. Dewey argued that
"the minute we lost Europe our
chances of holding air bases In

Dubious of Quick Air Victory.
The Governor said that, with

Wherry.
'I hope not" Gov. Dewey re-
piled, adding that If Gen. Eisen-
hover is given "a little time to
bring about unity of command
over the forces that already exist
from Norway to England, plus
possible additions from Yugosla-
via, Greece and Turkey. 81 think

The Governor concluded by pre-
dieting that there are millions

The hearing was not without
its lighter moments. At the out

Governor, you probably will be
interrogated as rigidly as you were

The Governor replied with a
smile that he would not pose as
an expert on diplomacy, on STRAIT
