Worries Over Resiqnution

PARIS. Sept. IS (R.-West
European newspapers expressed

From the other side of the iron
curtain there was no comment as

Moscow reported the secretary's
retirement briefly, without edi-

Marshall and his successor, Rob-

Gen. George C. Marshall, who
retired yesterday as Secretary of
Defense, is a towering example of
what man must be prepared to
face If he accepts high Govern
|ment Office in these times.
There are, Of course, some other
distinguished examples of this:
Dean Acheson, still Secretary of
State. and Louis Johnson and
James Forrestal, both Of whom
were Secretary of Defense.
After a long and brilliant mill
tary career, Gen. Marshall held
the two most important jobs in
the Presidents cabinet: Secretary
OF State and Secretary of Defense.
Altogether he has served the coun-
try half a century.
He resigned as Secretary OF
State in 1949--Mr. Acheson sue
lceeded him-and went into retire
ment. He was called back by
President Truman one year age

to somewhat fuller gratitude
for public officials who make great
sacrifices to serve the Government
and are rewarded in large part by
an inverse ratio of abuse and
criticism.
In a Senate speech the day after
Mr.. Forrestal's death, Senator
Flanders, Republican Of Vermont
summed up his view of the time
and place by praising Mr.. For
|restal as a good man "in this
magnetic and magnificent City Of
Washington. D. c., which is in
fact the capital of our world and
in which is blended a mixture Of
integrity and insincerity, faith
and godlessness, purpose and

Senate, Still Pushing
Defense Bill, Talks
OF Secret Weapons
BY Cecil Holland

The Senate puSned today TO-
ward final action on the record
breaking SCI billion defense ap-
preparation bill amid more talk
of frightful new weapons of de-
Struction.
Leaders hoped to complete work
on the huge money bill which
includes funds for new secret
weapons that President Truman
has described as fantastic" dur
ing the day.
After some restrictions were
added to the bill in yesterdays
third round of debate, Senate
Democratic Leader Mcfarland
won agreement from the Senators
to limit discussion of each amend
ment to 80 minutes and a wind-up
furry of talk on the bill itself
to two hours.
As debate on the bill continued
there was more comment on new
weapons being developed in this
country.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana, member of the Ap-
preparations Committee, joined In
the talk by commenting in a radio
broadcast last night:
There are new weapons that
will be used shortly in the Korean
war"
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat
of Connecticut, chairman of the
Senate-House Atomic Committee
yesterday told reporters that the
destructive power of this country't
atomic stockpile is truly fan
tastic."
He made the comment after an
important" meeting of his COM
mittee with officials of the Atomic
Energy Commission. Senator
McMahon refused to hint what
was discussed at the meeting and
declined to be drawn into a dis
cussion of whether new weapons
recently referred to by President
Truman and others should be used
In the Korean war.
That" Senator Mcmahon said
'is an executive decision.

Gen. Marshall, long used to COM

style and always referred to those

terrible Capehart amendment" /"
It backed his request that Con-
gress repeal the provision, and
declared a proposed revamping of
the section would accomplish no
real good.
The AFL's views were set forth
by one Of its economists, Peter
Henle, in a statement prepared
for a Senate Banking Subcomit-
tee headed by Senator Robertson,
Democrat, of Virginia. Mr.. Henle
was called as the first witness as
the group started hearings on Mr..
Truman's apepal for changes in
the law he signed reluctantly
July 81.
Senator Robertson's subcom-
mittee was dealing exclusively
with the Capehart amendment,
which the President has assailed
as a price e-increasing economic
BOBBY trap"
Capehart Is Unmoved.
Senator Capehart, Republican
OF Indiana has said the amend
ment to which the President
tagged his name actually was
drafted by four Democrats and
another Republican in addition to
Senator Capehart.
But regardless Of authorship,
I still think 1t is a just provision
which opens the way for price
rollbacks as well as warranted in
creases." Senator Capehart told a
reporter in advance of today's ses-
sion.
The provision permits sellers to
pass on to consumers virtually all
fcost increases which occurred be-
tween the start of the Korean war
and last July 26. It applies to
non-farm commodities and allows
price rollbacks If they can be
achieved after designated cost in
creases have been taken into
account.
For the AFL, Mr.. Henle said
regarding the amendment:
I'm a very real sense, it can bt
called a fraud on the American
people because, while it does not
abolish the structure and admin
istrative organization of a price
control authority, it does establish
a rigid, automatic, cost-plus sys-
tenn Of pricing which renders this
authority helpless to prevent q
substantial increase in prices"
Sees No Rollback.
| Mr.. Henle also declared the
technical language of the amend
ment is such as to rule out "any
significant" price rollbacks.
i THE housewife who has been
looking to OPS tOffice of Price
lStabilization) to reduce some OF
the out-of- Line prices had better
look elsewhere" the AFL man
said.
In the end. no one will benefit
from this amendment. The higher
prices will stimulate the imitation
larry spiral. add to the cost of the
Nations defense budget, and make
more difficult the task of wage
,stabilization."
