'The Department of the Army
in reply to queries from the press

These regulations are designed

By John A. Giles

The Army ruled in effect, today
that Gen. Macarthur can deliver
the keynote address before the Re.
publican National Convention
without retiring and without vio-
lating service regulations.
The ruling stated that as a five-
star general without active as
Isignment, Gen. Macarthur was in
a status similar to retired officers
and therefore not subject to pro-
hibitions contained in a rigid no.
politics regulation.
A spokesman told a Pentagon
news briefing that under the new
ruling, Gen. Eisenhower need not
have retired to seek the Repub-
lican presidential nomination
This opinion was based on the
fact that Gen. Eisenhower, at the
time he retired and refused his
$19.541 annual pay and allow

to those given Gen. Macarthur.
He added that Gen. Macarthur

$4,000 More Funds
For Tax Investigation
Voted by House Unit
Expenses for Justice,
Indecent Magazine and
Red Probes Allotted

The House subcommittee inves-
tigating the Internal Revenue
Bureau got a $4,000 additional
expense authorization and unan-
imouS vote of confidence from an
other House committee today.
I A House Administration sub
committee also voted expense al
lotments for groups investigating
the Justice Department, indecent
magazines and pocketsize books,
and possible Communist influ-
ence in philanthropic foundations.
A 4-3 split in the subcommittee
indicated, however, that the full
committee later this week may
reject the $4,000 sum allotted
for an investigation of the foun-
dations. That probe results from
recent House passage of a reso-
luton sponsored by Representa-
tive Cox. Democrat. of Georgia.
The Cox subcommittee asked the
House Administration subcom-
mittee for 100000, of which
$12,500 would be for the salary
|of a general counsel and $27, 900
for a staff of Investigators.
Three Opponents Listed.
Although no record vote was
taken after the open hearing,
members disclosed that Repre-
sentative Moran. Republican, of
Connecticut; Bishop, Republican,
of Illinois. and Garmatz, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, voted against
any expense money for the Cox
subcommittee.
At the open hearing, Clarence
Mitchell, director of the Washing
ton bureau of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People, asserted that any
money spent on this investigation
would be tragic waste and an
unfair attack on the colored peo-
pie of the United States" He ac-
cused Mr., Cox of sponsoring the
investigation mainly to "stir up
class and race distinction through
out the South. and to harass and
embarrass those who seek to cor
rect racial injustices."
The largest expense allotment
approved by the House Admins
tration subcommittee totalled
$115,000 for the Judiciary Com
mittee. About 100000 will be
allotted to the subcommittee
which has been investigating the
Justice Department.
Representative Chelf, Democrat.
OF Kentucky. chairman of the in
vestigating subcommittee, said his
staff of Is should be doubled so
that the probe can be completed
by October /.
$25,O0O for Magazine Probe.
An allowance of $4,000 was
approved for the special commit
tee appointed yesterday to look
into offensive magazines, pocket
size books, comic books and SINH
lar publications. Representative
Gathings. Democrat, of Arkansas,
the committee chairman, said his
group will try to develop informa-
tion that will lead to stricter laws
against the spread of such ma
terial.
Representative King, Democrat,
of California, chairman of the
Ways and Means subcommittee
investigating the Internal Revenue
Bureau, received practically in
lstant approval of his request of
an additional $4,000 for the re-
mainder Of this year. Several in
Ivestigations already under way
will be completed.

it came on the heels of Air Force
orders for an around-the-clock
watch for possible enemy planes
in the District and 27 States.
Civilian defense workers will
keep the 24-hour vigil, beginning
July IA. Maj. Gen. Frederick H,
Smith, jr., deputy director of the
Air Defense Command, said it is
necessary because "the Soviets
have had the capability for some
time to attack u.s."
The Army said it has deployed
anti-aircraft units to field posi-
tlons to provide IAN increased
state of operational readiness" for
the Nations defenses.
Locations Not Disclosed.
The exact locations of batteries
were not disclosed, but the Army
said they have been placed so as
to provide maximum defense
against attack from any direction. !"
The announcement continued:
THE move to one-site positions
is a step in continuing the deploy-
ment of the United States air de-
fense system.
The Army emphasized that
units had moved to these positions
periodically for more than a year
and that the current move has no
special significance. -.
In the air defense setup ,
fighter interceptors would be the
first to engage invading air
bomberS. Aircraft which get
through the first line of defense
would be faced by anti-aircraft
batteries near vital target
areas. =.
Despite the increased effec-
tivenss of the air defense system,
1T is expected that a determined
attack would resultin some enemy
aircraft getting through to their
assigned targets"
Capable of Attacking.
Gen. Smiths assertion that
Russia has the capability of at
tacking the United States was
made at a Pentagon news confer
ence late yesterday.
To which Gen. Nathan F. Twin
ing. Acting Air Force Chief of
Staff, added:
"We can have no assurance of
long-range forewarning of a de-
cisiOn by the Kremlin to attempt
an assault on us. The lack of a
Thorough 24-hour watch is a weak
ness we can no longer afford" !"
The start of Operation Sky
watch" was originally scheduled
to start May II but was postponed
to allow more time for organizing
|Spotter crews. Yesterdays an
|nouncement came after a confer
ence of Civil Defense directors
from all States and territories and
the Air Force.
Gen. Smith estimated from so
to 80 volunteers would be needed
to man each of the thousands of
observer posts. Their special job
will be to spot planes flying below
5 900 feet-thoSe difficult to pick
up on radar.
Under Local Commanders.
The network of lookouts will be
co-ordinated with the Canadian
air defense program. Gen. Smith
said skywatching in Alaska and
Hawaii is not linked with this
continental organization but ope-
rates under local commanders.
The District is included in the
plans but was not named specifi-
cally in the list of States because
lit is to be administered here
under the Maryland organization.
