S46 Billion Limit
On Defense Held
Peril 10 Nation
O'Mohoney Warns
Military Ceiling
Would Slow Output
By J. A. O'LeoV

A warning that the entire de-
fense program would be retarded
by enactment of the SAC billion
House ceiling on military spending
next year was sounded today by
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
Wyoming.
The ceiling would require the
Pentagon to cut $6.5 billion from
the outlay it planned in 1853.
Senator O'Mahoney said the re-
striction would delay production
of new aircraft, tanks. ships, SUBJ
marines and the fantastic new
weapons we heard so much about
last year"
Agriculture Bill Passes.
AS Congress centered its atten-
ton on budget bills it must pass
before adjournment, there were
these other developments:
l. The House passed and sent
to the Senate a $724 million Agri-
culture appropriation bill. It is
the last of the big regular supply
bills, and was the second to go
through the House without cuts.
The other was the river, harbor
and f1ood-control measure.
2. The House Foreign Affairs
Committee met to begin acting on
the $7.9 billion foreign aid pro-
gram. The Senate Committee has
chopped 81 billion from the meas
ure, and further cuts may be pro-
posed on the Senate floor next
week.
Regarding the big defense budg-
ct, which he will handle in the
Senate, Senator O'Mahoney said
the chief danger from the arbi-
trary House ceiling is that it
would interfere with payments on
contracts for planes and other
weapons ordered a year or two
ago.
Would Cut New Funds.
Senator O'Mahoney still believes
Congress should cut out every
dollar Of non-essential Govern
ment spending. If Congress wants
the defense establishment to bear
part of the budget reduction, it
should apply the cuts to new
appropriations and not to funds
already obligated.
The House not only applied a
ceiling that would stop the ex-
Ipenditure Of $6.5 billion by the
Pentagon next year, but at the
same time chopped about $4.5
billion from new military appro-
lpriations. Senator O'Mahoney has
not yet formed a conclusion on
these new cuts.

TALLAHASSEE. Fla. May O.
Senator Kefauver Of Tennessee
has raised an embarrassing issue
for Senator Russell of Georgia in
their campaign for the Demo-
Icratic presidential preferential
vote in Florida's primary next
Tuesday.
The Tennessean has dubbed
Senator Russell a sectional candi-
date for the nomination. .,.
In his visit to the State capital
Senator Kefauver laid this on the
line. Senator Russell, who fol-
lowed his opponent here by day,
was at pains to answer.
Senator Russell declared he was
not just a candidate from the
South. He said he would have
delegates committed to him from
other States when the party's con-
vention opens in July.
Senator Kefauver, pressing his
point, asked why Senator Russell
did not enter the presidential
preference primaries in Wisconsin,
Nebraska, Illinois, New Hampshire
and many other States as he
CKefauver) had done.
NO. says Senator Kefauver to
the Georgian, you entered only
one primary, that of Florida-a
Southern State"
Russell Says He Was Busy.
Senator Russell's reply, made at
a press conference here, was that
his legislative duties, particularly
as chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee. required his
presence in Washington.
1T is with difficulty" Senator
Russell said, that I have been
able to get away for my nine days
campaign in Florida. I could not
possibly have given the time to go
into other States to campaign"
What's the use, Senator Ke-
fauver asked, of voting for a
man who has no chance of being
nominated, and if nominated
woud have no chance of being
Ielected-because he Is a sectional
candidate.
II am the man, the only man."
he says. from the South who
has a real chance to win"
Senator Russell Immediately re-
piled with statement:
II alone can win this coming
election for the Democrats.
If the crowds drawn by the
two candidates in Tallahassee on
successive days mean anything,
Senator Russell will carry this
section of Florida by a consider
able margin. Both spoke from
the State Capital steps. Both
spoke on nice, Sunshiny days.
Senator Kefauver had a turnout
of five or six hundred to hear
him. Senator Russell had 1000.
Warren Is Confident.

with Senator Kefauver over crime
and gambling in Florida has be-

Prober Says U. 5. Aide
Gave Military Data
To Egyptian Friend
Helped Cotton Dealer
Make $37 Million Sole
To U. S., Senators Told
By james (. Roper

A Government investigator re-
ported today that Clovis D. Walker,
head of the Agriculture Depart
ment's Cotton Branch, leaked
classified military information to
an Egyptian friend to enable him
to sell $37 million worth Of long
staple cotton to the United States
last year.
Harold Mesibov, Agriculture De-
partment agent who has been in
vestigating the case for two
months, said this was only one
of a series of gross irregularities
in the way Mr.. Walker dealt with
his good friend" Egyptian cot
ton dealer, Loutfy Mansour.
Mr.. Mesibov told his story to in
Icredulous members of the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
He said Mr.. Walker concealed q
low bid from a competitor of Mr..
Mansour. He said Mr.. Walker per-
mitted his secretary to type for
Mr.. Mansour laSt-minute bids that
were successful and over a pro-
longed period gave Mr.. Mansour
confidential information about
Government plans to stockpile
Egyptian long staple cotton.
Some Of Data Called Military.
Mr.. Mesibov testified that some
of the information which Mr.
Walker relayed to Mr.. Mansour is
classified as military information
The Agriculture Department has
refused to give some of this same
information to the Senate Com
mittee, although Mr.. Walker Is
alleged to have leaked it to Mr.
Mansour in Egypt a year ago.
Mr.. Mesibov said Mr.. Mansoul
sold about $40 million worth o1
cotton to the United States ir
February last year and about ST.
million worth last December
Government purchases from Mr.
Mansour in February, he said
represented 35 to 40 per cent OF
total purchases; in December
from IS to 80 per cent of totaI
purchases.
He detailed a deal worked out
by Mr.. Walker, Mr.. Mansour anc
Dyke Cullum, well-known com.
modify speculator, during lunch
con in Washington.
MIR. Cullum told me his jot
was to relay confidential infor-
nation from Mr.. Walker to Mr.
Mansour," Mr.. Mesibov testified
"As he put it, Mr.. Walker called
the shots"
Tips on Action Reported.
Mr.. Mesibov said communica-
tions between Mr.. Cullum and Mr.
Mansour referred to other firms
offers to sell cotton to the United
States and reported what Mr.
Walker was recommending that
Mr.. Mansour do.
Mr.. MeSibov also reported 9
series of personal cables between
Mr.. Walker and Mr.. Mansour in
Egypt. The investigator said they
included cryptic references Of
possible code terminology."
Mr.. Mansour's cables were sent
to Mr.. Walkers residence, anC
sometime were addressed to Mrs
Walker, the investigator said
Even after Mr.. Mansour arrived
in the United States, Mr.. Mesibo,
said, Mrs. Walker continued to re.
ceive cables from Egypt for Mr.
ManSour, who, the witness said
was not using bis own name.

Red Truce Negotiators
RejeetA||ied Proposal
For Ending Deadlock
Reply Received in Secret
Session; Possibility Seen
Compromise Was Offered
BY the Associoted Press

MUNSAN, Korea, May Com
munist negotiators today refused
to agree to a United Nations
command package proposal for
settling the Korean armistice
deadlock.
The Red reply was given in a
secret full-dress session of armi-
stice delegations.
The chief negotiators scheduled
another meeting for tomorrow at
Two U. S. Destroyers Slightly Damaged by
Red Shore Guns. Pooe A-3
IL. am. 90 pm. Friday EST
This gave rise to speculation the
Communists may have offered a
compromise plan.
Silent on Discussion.
But Vice Admiral Turner Joy,
chief United Nations delegate, and
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
UNC spokesman. refused to say
what happened in the 78-minute
session at Panmunjom.
IT regret I have no comment to
make" Admiral Joy said.
Gen. Nuckols told newsmen it
was "'obvious that no agreement
was reached"
Chief problems blocking an ar
mistice are how to exchange pris-
oners of war, Russian participa-
tion in truce supervision, and re-
Mobilization of military airflelds
during truce.
Reds Talk Most.
Gen. NuckolS said North Korean
Gen. Nam II, the Reds No. l ne
gotiator, did most of the talking.
It was the first meeting of the
main armistice delegations since
they recessed Monday to permit
the Communists time to study the
Allied plan.
Asked if the discussion was on
the basis of the Allied overall
solution" Gen. Nuckols replied
that is the only topic for discus
SION" Later, however, he called
newsmen together to correct what
he called an erroneous impress
sion." that no other topic was dis
cussed.
Asked if the Reds had submitted
a counterproposal, Gen. Nuckols
said:
II cannot answer that, obvi-
ously."
The secrecy cloaking the meet
ings was imposed at the request
of the Allies.

Company Lawyers
Get Jump on U. S.
In Court Action
By Robert K. Walsh

Inc supreme Court was asked
by the Government and the steel
industry today for immediate re-
view of the seizure issue.
Acting Attorney General Philip
B. Perlman, shortly before noon,
Ipetitioned the tribunal to reverse
District Court Judge David A.
Pines ruling that seizure of the
mills was unconstitutional.
Industry lawyers got a jump on
the Government by filing a review
petition three hours earlier ask
ing that Judge Pines decision be
upheld.
They urged oral arguments be
set down for next week if the high
court accepts the case for review.
They also sought an order to pre-
vent the Government from boost
ing wages or changing employ
ment conditions against their con-
sent, while legal proceedings are
under way.
Asks Continuance of Stay.
The Justice Departments petit
ton asked the court to continue
a stay ordered last Wednesday by
the United States Court of Ap-
peals.
The Appellate Court Temporal
rily halted effectiveness of Judge
Pines injunction against Govern
ment operation. It did not pass
on the legality of the President Q
seizure order.
Supreme Court officials said
there was absolutely no way of
knowing" when the justices might
consider the review petitions. The
justices ordinarily meet every
Saturday morning for a confer
ence. The court will hand down
opinions and orders Monday.
The Government petition bit
terly attacked Judge Pines de-
cision as having brushed aside
more than 100 years of constitu-
tional precedent" 1t asked the
Supreme Court to find he erred
not only in granting injunctive
relief to the steel companies but
that he enormously considered
and decided constitutional issues
on motions for preliminary in
functions.
Main Government Question.
| The main question, as stated by
the Government, was:
Whether, on the facts recited
in the Executive order (for sell
zure) and established by the un-
controverted aff1davits, the Presi-
dent had constitutional authority
to take possession of the COM
panieS' steel mills in order to avert
an imminent Nationwide cessa-
tion of steel production"
1t asserted that as a result of
Judge Pines decision a situation
of the "gravest national import
ance had been re-created." It con-
tended that Judge Pine ignored"
long established practices in act
ing on constitutional issues.
The District Court decision, un-
less overturned, will stand as a
rigid and dogmatic barrier not
only to the efforts of the President
to maintain continued production
OF steel but to any kind Of execu-
tive action which may become
necessary to meet other and un-
predictable emergencies"
Inherent Powers" Touched On.
Referring to the storm over the
question of the Presidents Gin
herent powers" as argued before
Judge Pine, the petition declared
1--WE do not argue in any sense
from expediency, nor do we urge
that the President possesses un-
limited powers. On the contrary
we argue that Article II of the

CONSTANTLY ANNOYED"

My wife and l attended t." Dog
Track meet Thursday. We stood
where we thought we would be able
to hear very clearly. But two men
got directly back of us and began
discussing their opinions Of the sub
ject in question.
We gave them what we hoped
were looks of disgust, thinking they
would surely stop their yackety-
yack - but to no avail, so we
moved on.
We had nicely got settled when
who should get in behind us but a
young policeman and another fell
low who also started lengthy dis
course. Only they talked in a mono
tone which was even more distract
ing then the first offenders.
Then boys on bikes rode in and
out among us and tiny tots who
should have been tied to their
mamas' bra straps or put to
sleep.
What we can not understand is
this:
Why was not the young officer
maintaining peace and quiet and a
little order in such a place? Why
have meetings of any kind if we
must be constantly annoyed with
children and discourteous adults?
