duty airmen. Other requirements
remain the same.

U. 5. Army 10 Slash
'S45 Million Worth
OF FriIIs in Germany
BY the Associoted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, May
3,-The United States Army an
nounced today it is knocking of
some $45 million worth of its
frills in Germany by doing away
with free maids and other per-
sonal services.
The Army bowed to State De-
partment demand that it cut of
several thousand free servants
whose wages came from West
German government funds as oc-
cupation costs.
The announcement said the re-
lease Of servants would begin i'm
mediately and would be ended
next June 80. It did not 60 into
detail.
Nothing was said about special
non-duty trains, also regarded
coolly by the State Department
which takes troops to recreation
centers.
It was indicated this matter is
still being negotiated.
Action Independent of Allies.
Army authorities at Heidelberg
said it had been decided to act
|unilaterally because plans for
three-party action to introduce
an austerity program for per-
lSonnel had not materialiZed.
The British say they have
hacked off their luxury items. The
French are silent about how many
|frills decorate their occupation
picture.
It could not be learned i'm
|mediately just how many serv-
ants would be affected by the
American order, but free maids
and other household servants are
installed in quarters of soldiers
from non-commissioned officers
up to generals. The Army had
budgeted for $4,000 servants for
the coming fiscal year.
No personal services are given
free to enlisted men, who still do
their own barrack chores as they
always have done in the army.
No Details Of Army Plans.
Officers clubs and meSSeS use
German help paid for by the Ger
man government. Office help at
military installations also uses
German personnel under this pro-
gram.
But the Army would not disclose
what further plans it may have
for reducing personnel. One Of
ficer said there would be no state
|ment beyond what was specified
in the announcement, at least for
the present.
The Army said it's action would
include several categories, prin-
'cipally for personal services, clubs,
|messes, ETC."
Despite the fact officers and
lnon-coms will have to dig into
their own pockets to see the billet
lis cleaned or a Scotch and soda
mixed right. the United States
Army soldier is still the best off
lin Germany. His post exchange
Ioffers him luxury goods, commits
Isaries are we'll stocked and his pay
rate makes other Allied soldiers
lgreen with envy.
United States High Commis-
lSioner John j. McCloy greeted the
Army announcement warmly anc
said he was aware that this ster
represents substantial modifica-
ton of certain conveniences ano
comforts which have been enjoyed
in the past"
Negotiations to get 400, 900 West
Germans into a European army
have not been helped by the drain
on occupation costs through Army
luxury items of the free service
type.

of a really effective (price) sup
port program" adding:
Had they been successful in
maintaining the sliding scale prin-
ciple of price supports, ranging
from so to 80 per cent of parity,
the support price of wheat might

On-the-Record Visit Blamed
In Second Eisenhower Incident

Crusade in Europe" but he said
that already was a matter of rec
ord. The general was permitted
to treat the proceeds of the book
as capital gain. instead of ordi-
nary income, which meant that he
paid the Is per cent capital gains
tax instead of the higher regular
income rates.
Regarding Russia's recent move
against Ambassador Kennan, Gen.
Eisenhower said he saw nothing
to be gained from breaking diplo-
matte relation with the Soviet.
Off-the-record conferences are
never a satisfactory way for a
political candidate to maintain
contact with the press. Reporters
VINO were present last Sunday
knew when they left the lounge
car it would be only a matter of
a few days before the gist of what
took place would leak through
secondhand reports.
Second Such Experience.
This was Gen. Eisenhower's Sec
ond unpleasant experience along
this line. Several months ago in
Denver the general attended a
private luncheon with a part of
the press corps assigned to cover
him. The result was that those
not present felt free to print what
they could find out about the
gathering and eventually it all
became public.
In this 1852 campaign formal
press conferences have been few
and far between on both sides.
It is easier on the candidates, but
it deprives the public of valuable
information which press confer
ences develop on the details Of
issues the candidates discuss in
their speeches.

they said. and this was part of
the job.
AS the reporters left the hotel
to hear Gov. Stevenson speak Mr..
Hicks climbed into a taxi, bound
for the airport and New York.
The impressive thing about the
incident was that it could have
been foreseen and need never have
happened. A more alert staff
would have made sure that it did
not happen.
When Gen. Eisenhower comes
through New Orleans next week
he will be travelling on the train.
When he spent the night in Miami
early in the campaign special and
careful arrangements were made
to get the Negro reporters-in-
Guiding, incidentally, Mr.. Hicks
into the hotel.
Tried to Avert Issue.
Late last night, at a hurriedly
called press conference, Louisi-
anas National Committeeman
Frank Ellis tried to explain what
had happened. He had been in
charge of local arrangements, he
said. He had been instructed
from Springfield that he should
make every effort to see that seq
regation problems did not arise
during the visit.
An outdoor meeting had been
arranged to avoid the problem of
mixed indoor audiences. He had
called in special committee, con-
sisting of the major Negro groups,
to work out the problem of &C
commodationS. The quarters at
the university, he said, were
equal, if not superior. to those of
the hotel"
Ironically. Gov. Stevenson knew
nothing of the incident last night
when he started to speak. He was
cheered and obviously impressed
by the size of the crowd that had
turned out to hear him. After
the opening pleasantries, he
launched firmly into his first
point:
"As you know, I stand on the
Democratic platform with respect
to minority rights. I have only
one observation to make on this
subject, and that must sadden you
as it does me. It is that, after
1000 years Of Christianity, we
need to discuss it at ALL"

DENVER, Oct. 11.-Gen. Eisen-
hover learned the hard way yes
terday that off-the-record socia
visits with the press are a poor
substitute for regular press con.
ferences.
Last Sunday as his train rolled
across Montana, the Republican
nominee spent half an hour in the
press lounge car. chatting with re-
porterS assigned to cover his cam
paign. During the conversation he
answered question on several ma
jor subjects. including:
/. If and when he would reveal
his financial status as Gov. Ste
venson already had done.
2. Details of his talk with Sena-
tor Mccarthy when he was in Wis
consin.
3. What he thought of Senator
Knowland's suggestion that the
United States should send Russia S
Ambassador home in view of the
Soviet's request for the recall of
American Ambassador George
Kennan.
Talked Off the Record.
It was made clear that the gen.
eral was talking entirely off the
record and the reporters present
respected the confidence.
Unfortunately. on presidential
campaign trains reporters come
and go. And a week had not passed
before reporters who were not on
the train last Sunday came aboard
and began writing stories that
sounded familiarly like the con-
versation that had taken place
during the off-the-record chat, at
least on some of the subjects.
The general had said he was
having his income data assembled,
and if he did anything with it
the press would be notified. He
pointed out. however. that he had
not had a letter from any citi-
zens suggesting that he should
make his financial records public
and he did not see why he should
dance to the tune of some one
else.
When stories began to get into
print yesterday, reporting that his
present intention was not to make
mis- income figures available, the
general promptly issued a state
ment saying that, of course, al
financial statement would be made
available to any one interested,
rs soon as it is completed.

President must take up the ques-
tion of ownership of the oil-rich
submerged coastal lands where
the Supreme Court left off.
He noted the court has held
that title to the oil in such lands
is vested in all of the people and
not merely the citizens of single
State. Although he said he sup
ports President Truman's Veto of
a bill which would transfer titles
to the States, Gov. Stevenson said
he wants the issue settled.
II don't believe in stalemates, "
he declared. Il don't believe in
keeping matters in an unsettled
state so that they may be ex-
plotted for political purposes"
Gen. Eisenhower said in Los
Angeles that the States, not the
Federal Government, should have
titles to the submerged lands. Gov.
Stevenson said Gen. Eisenhower
had taken three different posi-
tions on the issue.
The Democratic nominee casti-
gated the Republicans for their
opposition to the reciprocal trade
agreements program. He observed
that Senator Taft said he voted
several times against the pro-
gram.

appeal to the case by implying
that Arvey was interested" It
