Scientist Brunauer
And Wife Suspended
From Federal Jobs
Navy initiates Action
Against Couple Called
Reds by Mccarthy

Stephen Brunauer, Navy scient-
ist and explosives expert, and his
wife, Mrs. Esther Caukin Bru-
nauer. a State Department Official
were suspended from Government
service today.
Both were the targets Of pro-
Communist charges by Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, Of Wiscon-
sin, last year.
The Navy Department acted
first to suspend Mr.. Brunauer who
held the rank Of commander dur
ing the war and later assumed his
status as a civilian scientist.
A short time later the State De
partment announced suspension OF
Mrs. Brunauer. who serves as a
liason officer with the United Ma
tions Scientific and Cultural Or
ganization.
Based on Navy Action.
First word Of the suspensions
came from the State Department
| Carlisle H. Humelsine, Deputy
Undersecretary Of State for Ad-
ministration, announced "suspen-
sion Of Mrs. Esther Caukin Bru-
nauer because of information re-
ceived that the Department of the
Navy had suspended her husband
Stephen Brunauer, under Navy
Department loyalty and security
procedures"
Mr.. Humelsine said that Mrs
Brunauer's suspension from the
State Department was "taken au-
ltomatically pending the outcome
of the Department of the Navy
action concerning Mr.. Brunauer.'
He emphasized that Mrs. Bru-
nauer's suspension results from
action taken by the Navy in regard
to her husband and not from any
information which has been re-
CelVeQ concerning ner.
Goes On Annual Leave.
Mrs. Brunauer is being permit.
ted to take annual leave during
her suspension, which became
effective at 10 am. today.
The Navy Department did not
make public the reasons for its
action against Mr.. Brunauer and
the terms of his suspension are
not known.
Senator Mccarthy, when he
leveled his charges against the
Brunauers, directed his heaviest
fire at Mrs. Brunauer. He &C.
cused her of having engaged ir
Communist front activities "suffi.

British Parliament
Gets Biggest Budget
Ever for Peacefime
Chancellor Of Exchequer
Proposes Expenditure of
4,l97, 900, 900 Pounds
BY the Asseeiofed Press

LONDON, April 10.-Chancellor
OF the Exchequer Hugh Gaitskell
today proposed an expenditure for
1852 Of f4.197, 900, 900 ($11,751,-
600, ,o00), the biggest budget in
Britain's peacetime history.
Defense spending alone would
cost FL ,490. .000. 900 ($4,172, ,O00, ,00o)
Mr.. Gaitskell told the House OF
Commons.
President Truman has proposed
Ia military budget of $41, ,421 ,000,-
600 for American forces in the
1851 fiscal year. The Soviet Par
liament has adopted a record mill
tary budget of 96 billion rubles
for 1851, about $24 billion at the
Soviet evaluation of the ruble.
Holds Civilian Spending.
Mr.. Gaitskell said he had de-
vised a budget which will hole
down civilian spending because OF
big outlays for rearmament.
The nation must be prepared
for a reduction In its standard OF
living, he said.
Mr.. Gaitskel1, successor to 81,
Stafford Cripps, who retired be-
cause Of i'll health, fortified him
self from pitcher of rum and
orange juice as he presented his
first budget.
He said he was seeking a mid
die course between rampant
civilian spending and imitation
caused by "too much money chas-
ing too few good" s"-and too Sc
we're a budget which might give
us losses. unemployment and aus
terity at home without substantial
benefit to our external position. I"
I'VE do not want def1ation of
this kind any more than we want
imitation" he explained.
Wage Freeze Out.
MIR. Gaitskell said the govern
ment has ruled out a return to
the industrial wage freeze, which
it abandoned last year and will
continue to trust the established
system Of wage negotiation to
avoid a rapid, damaging upward
spiral of wages and prices"
The Chancellor said he expects
a deficit Of f99 million (S227 z
million) on the basis of present
tax rates.
Despite the large defense ex-
penditures increase of f7l5 million
over this year, MIR. Gaitskell said
more than three-fourths of the
budget is accounted for by social
services and food subsidies.
The Chancellor allowed f1.615
billion ($4.522 billion) for the
nations welfare services, including
the National Health Service
Welfare costs thus will exceed
defense spending by f125 million
$3.50 million).

Macarthur Seeks Freer Hand
And More Troops, Stands Pat
On Views in PorIey With Pace
Denies Thut Army
Secretary Cove
Him Reprimond
By Russell Brines
Assoeioisd Pres. Foreign Correspondent


TOKYO. April 10.-Gen. Mac
Arthur made it plain to his supe-
riors today that he intends to keep
right on fighting for a freer hand
in the Korean war.
He authorized a spokesman tc
deny sharply reports that Army
Secretary Frank Pace. jr.. mad
reprimanded him for recent public
statements deemed to be verging
on politics.
The spokesman added that since
the reports were carried by a Brit
ish news agency, Reuters, prob
ably the wish was father to the
thought"
With some British voices al
ready clamoring for Gen. Mac
Arthur's scalp. this seemed like
fresh defiance from the United
Nations commander in chief.
Stands Pat ON Views.
Informed sources also said Gen.
Macarthur stood pat during a
two-hour conference yesterday
with Mr.. Pace on views that have
provoked storm of controversy in
Washington, London, Paris and
elsewhere.
These views include belief that
an about war must be waged
against communism wherever the
threat appears: that it would be
mistake to neglect Asia in order
to emphasize defense Of Europe.
He is understood to have asked
Mr.. Pace for more troops.
Informed sources said Gen.
Macarthur not only had asked Mr.
Pace for more troops but for
greater latitude in fighting the
Korean war.
PRESUMABLY Gen. Macarthur
sought the right to bomb Chi
nese bases in Manchuria, which
are supply heads for Communist
troops in Korea. Gen. Mac
Arthur has rallied frequently at
the privileged sanctuary Of
Manchuria.")
Critics have accused Gen. Mac
Arthur of departing from purely
military problems to engage in
discussions Of a political nature.
Fights for Sincere Belief.
Just what is Macarthur trying
to do? From this war conscious
Capital it appears that he is fight
ing for a sincere belief in a mill
tary necessity.
The general obviously believes
what he says: That U. N. forces
can win in Korea only by expand
ing the war to Red China; that
otherwise the Allies face a devas-
tating stalemate.
There are growing indications
that the general and his aides are
appealing to American public
opinion, either over or around the
administration. For one thing, a
close check of editorial comment
is made here.
Officers say the generals views
are becoming increasingly popu-
lar. They insist also that he is
speaking of military necessity,
with no intention of embarrassing
the Truman administration.
The issue is much older and
embraces more than the imme-
diate point of whether Red China
should be bombed and Chinese
Nationalist troops employed. 1t
involves the fundamental question
of whether the Western powers
should concentrate on Europe's
defense to the relative exclusion
of Asia.
1t concerns basic differences
between the thinking of American
military men and diplomats.
For Gen. Macarthur, this is an
old battle and not merely a
month-old controversy. 1t goes
back to the early bitter days of
the Pacific war when Gen. Mac
Arthur was by-passed in favor of
Europe.
The general has hammered
consistently during the past

Maryland Men Urged
To Report Draft Status
By the Associated Press

I BALTIMORE, July 1o.-col
Henry &C. Stanwood, Maryland's
selective service director, yester-
day urged the $3.50 men with ga
or 4-F draft status to notify their
local draft boards of any change
in their classification.
New regulations, expected from
Washington about the middle OF
this month, will subject the $500
3-A's and $3.50 4-F's to re-exam-
Iination.
Col. Stanwood says responsible
Iity for getting all service status
information to local draft boards
rests with the persons subject tc
Ireclassif1cation.
Those in the 3-A classification
ARE non-veterans with dependents
Changes in number of depend
ents are of particular importance
Col. Stanwood said.
Under the new rulings marriage
is no longer grounds for auto
matte deferment.
Physical requirements remain
about the same under the new
regulations, but the passing grade
on the mental tests has been low
cred, so that some 4-Fs might be
subject to reclassification.

Landover Appeals
Election Decision

The Landover Hills (Md.) elec.
tion contest was on its way to the
Maryland Court of Appeals today.
Attorney Thomas Elmo Jones.
acting for the town and Mayor
William zundel, filed notice of
appeal yesterday from a Prince
Georges County Circuit Court de-
cision declaring Joseph Brandt a
one-vote winner in the election
for Mayor last May 9.
In the tally right after the elec-
tion, Mr.. Zundel was declared
winner by 200 votes to 1913 for
Mr.. Brandt. Mr.. Brandt, however,
filed suit against the town. and
Mr.. Zundel contested the result
on the ground that some ballots,
thrown out as improperly marked.
should have been counted.
In a recount conducted two
weeks ago before Circuit Judge
John B. Gray, jr., Mr.. Brandt was
named winner by 200 votes to 1879.
Mr.. Jones said the appeal is
based on an argument similar to
that offered in Mr.. Brandt's orig
inal suit. He contended that Judge
Gray ruled some ballots acceptable
when actually they were improp-
erly marked under State law.
which prohibits any mark other
than an "X."
Mr.. Jones said he did not know
how long it would be before the
case is considered by the high
State court, which is now in sum-
mer recess.
Meanwhile, under a supple
order by Judge Gray, Mr..
zundel will continue as Mayor
until the matter is settled.
The Mayor and Councilmen Of
Hills receive no salary.
