lister to Luxembourg, said after q
White House call yesterday.

they wouldn't have pulled the

Gen. Eisenhower, however, she
continued, has changed all that,
and spurred high interest in the
western European defense plan.
Mrs. Mesta said she didn't know
anything about recurrent reports

dorship.

Bill 10 Teach Flying
Revived by Kefauver

Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee, yesterday revived a
plan to authorize an aviation pro-
gram which would include some
fight experience for volunteer
students of District high schools.
The District already Is making
plans to overhaul its present
school aviation program which
has been a source of dissatisfac-
ton to teachers and school off,
Icials for some time. The program
has not been changed essentially
since its inception about 10 years
ago.
Senator Kefauver reintroduced
Ia bill which failed of approval in
the last Congress. The bill has
been amended to answer some
objections.
A principal amendment would
exempt the District from respon-
|sibility for any accident to a high
school student. Under this, stu
dents would not be trained as
pilots, but would be offered some
flight experience as observers.
The Districts plan, according
TO Norman j. Nelson, first as
|sistant superintendent Of schools,
calls for meeting Of all aviation
teachers, principals Of schools
where the program is in effect,
and Board OF. Education officials
to review the present program and
its defects. ----------- -.

salt. If Mr.. Truman has that in
mind. he will have to file for the
Senate Democratic nomination by
April 20. 1952-the last filing date
for the primaries which take place
in August.
MIR. Truman's popularity in Mis-
souri, has. as in other parts Of the
country, taken q slump, according
to Republicans. Republican State
Chairman William e. Byers does
not take stock IN the suggestion
that Mr.. Truman will seek q Sen
ate seat. He said. that in his
opinion the record Of the Truman
administration, which he con-
siders most unsavory, will be the
issue in the coming campaign, and
that Mr.. Truman would have to
meet that issue whether he ran
for President again or for Senator

Other more impartial observers
say Mr.. Truman will be an ex-
ceedingly difficult candidate to de-
feat in Missouri. They point to
the fact that he carried Missouri
In l948 by about 26o. 900 votes over
Gov. Dewey. Some Of them insist
that the President will carry the
State next year, no matter how
he. gets along elsewhere, should
he be a candidate. -,
Encouraged by House Victory.
The Republicans have been en-
couraged by the election of their
candidate in the 11th Congression-
al District, to fill a vacancy in the
House. The Democrats carried the
district last November by 5000
votes, and lost it in the special
election this year by 5000. Ad-
mittedly. however, the State is
fundamentally Democratic, and
the Republicans only carry 1t when
the Democrats are split,
The recent wave on sentiment
in support Of Gen. Macarthur and
against Mr.. Truman, who dis
missed him from his Far East
commands. hit this State hard as
1t did others. But it does not ap-
pear to have submerged the Presi-
dent here. Nor does 1t appear to
have taken Gen. Eisenhower off
the eligible list for a Republican
presidential nomination.
A failure Of President Truman,s
policy in the Korean war, If II
developed in future months. it is
true. might sink Mr.. Truman
politically.
Eisenhower Has Support.
For Gen. Eisenhower there is
undoubted support in this State
as there is, too. for Senator
Taft Of Ohio. Gen. Eisenhower's
availability for a presidential
nomination by the Republicans
will depend on the measure of his
success as supreme commander of
the North Atlantic Nations forces
N Europe. Many people believe
;he general is a Republican, as is
MS brother, Arthur Eisenhower. a
businessman of this city. i
The suggestion that the Mac
issue has effectively
dimmed the chances of an Eisen-
mower nomination by the Repub-
leans seems to carry less weight,
now that there has been a gen.
eral disinclination by Republican
leaders to espouse the Macarthur
program in Korea as a
party issue at this time.
Also Gen. MacArthur's evident
in his declination to en-
Ter politics or to run for Office is

u. 5. Help Is Reported
Sought by Burma 10
Gust Chang Troops
BY the Assoeiated Press

The Burmese government re-
iportedly has appealed to the
United States for diplomatic help
in getting rid of armed Chinese
Nationalist troops within it's bor-
ders.
The Burmese regime, which
recognizes Red China, Is reported
alarmed at what it regards as a
steady flow of arms being smug-
Igled to Nationalists in Burma
from neighboring Thailand.
Unless something is done to dis
arm the Nationalists, the Burmese
have indicated they may take the
problem up with the United Ma
tions.
From 5000 to 10000 Chinese
lNationalists are reported involved
NEARLY all Of whom retreated OF
Withdrew into Burma from South
lern China.

The exact number and location
is not clear, diplomatic officials
who asked not to be named told a
reporter today. The troops are
said to be mostly in wild border
territory.
The Burmese government was
said to have turned to the United
States after approaches to Thai
land.
The precise source of the re-
ported arms traffic is not known.
But the Burmese are reported to
suspect the Chinese Nationalist
Embassy in Thailand is involved.
The Thai government does not
recognize the Chinese Communist
regime. A small contingent of
Thailand troops is fighting with
United Nations forces against the
Communists in Korea.
Complaint Passed On.
American diplomats are under
stood to have taken up the prob
lem with Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's government on For
moSa.
1t appears the State Depart
ment is merely passing on the
Burmese governments complaint,
rather than urging Chiang's gov
ernment to take action.
The State Department also ap-
pears to be guided by a desire to
avoid having the issue brought
before the United Nations.
The Burmese government, off,
cials said, apparently is concerned
lest the presence of Nationalist
forces incite the Chinese commu-
niSts to invade the country.

Brannan Opposes
Bill 10 Reorganize
His Department
WaShington, D. G.
TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1851

secretary OF Agriculture Bran
nan has told Congress that the
pending bill to reorganize his de-
partment would. in its present
form, ''cause serious difficulties"
He added that enactment of the
measure would be unwise.
Statements on the bill by Sec
retary Brannan and other officials
were made public today by the
Senate Expenditures Committee.
The measure would carry out rec
concentrations by the Hoover Com
mission.
Secretary of the Interior Chap
man also urged that the bill ''be
not enacted In its present form"
One section of the bill would
transfer the Bureau of Land
Management. except for its min
ing and mineral resources func-
tions. from Interior to Agricul-
ture.
Forest Work Cited.
Secretary Brannan generally
approved this proposal and pointed
out. that particularly in Oregon
and California the stands of tim
Der and other forest resources ad-
miniStered by the two departmentsl
are intermingled or adjacent.
Essentially the same functions
are carried on here by the two de-
partments under different laws
and regulations" he said.
There would be very real ad-
vantage if all Federal forests and
range land, as specified in the re-
port Of the Hoover Commission,
could be brought together"
Secretary Chapman, however,
said this transfer would further
accentuate the splintering of
functions with respect to natural
resources development and con-
servation."
Transfer From FSA.
Another provision of the bill
would transfer certain functions
Of the Federal Security Agency
with respect to agricultural and
home economics education to the
Agriculture Department.
Secretary Brannon said this
should have careful study" FSA
Administrator Oscar r. Ewing
said there is not sufficient dupli-
cation between the FSA and Agri-
culture programs to justify the
transfer.
The bill also would: |
l. Abolish the local, county and
State Agricultural Committees
and provide for one State agri-
cultural council in each State and
one IN each county to administer
the conservation, marketing and
adjustment programs. !
2. Require the Secretary of /
Agriculture to reorganize the
Agriculture Department into eight /
administrative units to be known
as services"
Two Assistant Secretaries.
3. Provide two assistant secre-
taries and an administrative as-E
sistant secretary.
4. Concentrate in the Secretary
the responsibilities for all func-
tions, with a few exceptions. and
permit him to delegate his author
ity. /
S. Eliminate the permanent ap-
Of 80 per cent of Gus. /
toms receipts for the removal of
agricultural commodities from the |
market and provide for annual
appropriations for this purpose.

In the future, Mr.. Johnston
said. "basic price policy will

of an industry falls below IS per

would pay China in, cash. not in
goods. for $4,000 tons of milo
(grain sorghum) and 10000 tons
of rice which the government pre-

Asked if proposals for the

were likely to interfere with the
delivery of food from there. Mr..
Munshi said it was "too early to
say anything with certainty" He
added that ships to transport the
food from China had been OBJ
tanned from the Baltic Shipping
Exchange
Left-wing Indian newspapers
have charged that the proposed

PLANNED mainly to prevent Chi
