Cost of Segregation
OF Schools Is Raised

@. General. you stated your
position on Federal aid to edu-
cation, and pointed out some Of
the costs of education to the
country. Would you state now
your position on the costly
practice of segregating schools
in the South where Negroes and
Whites attend separate schools
at terrific costs to the State and
the Federal Government?
Eisenhower: You brought up
a feature of this thing which I
have not even thought about. I
did not know there was an adj
ditional cost involved. Frankly.
I will have to look at that par
ticular point before would add
anything to it. I should say
this: It is necessary for all Of
us to use our resources. eco
nomically and frugally. We
shouldn't forget the good old
American thrift that has also
helped to bring the United
States where we are today.
Therefore, needless expense and
duplication as a generality,
should be condemned.
Q. To return again to the
fold of foreign policies and the
issues that they may present
at the coming campaign. do you
concur with Mr.. Dulles that the
error that the administration
has been guilty of is that they
have fought rearguard actions
almost entirely at the initiative
Of the Soviet world and have
never been to any substantial
degree capable of taking the
initiative away from the Soviet?
Eisenhower: I don't want par
ticularly to identify myself with
any particular individual. As I
said. I am not mentioning per-
sonalitieS. But / must say that

Into QUESTIONING

@. General, how do you JUS
tify your association with Alger
Hiss after he had been indicted?
Eisenhower: What did you
say?
@. What is your association
with Alger Hiss and his Council
Of Foreign Relations?
Eisenhower: What did you

@. Were you a member Of the
Council Of Foreign Relations
did you become a member after
Hiss was indicted? Not only
that. I ask you, what was the
basis of your interview with
John D. Rockefeller at the
home Of William Paine in 1913?
Do you have anything to do
with this Alger Hiss thing?
@. {Fror1 audience: Who are
you?
Eisenhower: Ladies and gentle
men, I want to say one thing:
! do not believe that it is nee
essary for me to defend myself
against Communism or Fascism
in any form. prolonged ap-
plauSe) I want only to say
this: The man whose name was
just mentioned I saw once in
my life. I joined the Carnegie
Foundation for International
Peace. and when I went up I
found Mr.. Hiss was its president.
That is the only meeting I ever
attended, because, before there,
was ever another meeting called
he was under investigation.
and as I understood it. the
board said: you are on perma-
nent leave until you have cleared
your NAME" and that was never
done. I never saw him before or
since.
Ladies and gentlemen, be-
cause to my mind, that is a very
unpleasant question, I will take
one more
@. Would you be willing to
send American troops and ma
terrell to French Indo-C China?
Eisenhower: This is what I
say about French Indo China:
We must make no mistake about
the terrific cost of the Indo-
China war to France, and there
fore, upon its ability to carry
out all Of its commitments that
we expect from it in Europe. It
is losing. annually. more than
half Of its graduates from its

And the war there. as I see it, is
another incident in our global
struggle against communism.
Therefore, it certainly deserves
our help and support. But only
America, cognizant of its own
economic strength. knowing its
own obligations throughout the
world, can decide specifically the
kind Of help. that should be sent
there. I personally believe I
would never send troops there.
because I think we are extended
far enough. That is just a guess.
I would have to look at the
whole thing. That is my convic-
ton without that complete
study.
Ladies and gentlemen, for the
courtesy you have shown me,
really for the great honor in
coming here to hear what I
have to say. I am very grateful.

Maine Liquor Probe
Becomes Hot Issue
In 6. @. P. Primary
BY The Associated Pres.

AUGUSTA, Me-, June T.
Names hot Republican senatorial
primary exploded with new fury
today in a bitter word battle be-
tween incumbent Owen Brewster
and his challenger, Gov. Frederick
q. Payne.
The issue was a just-concluded, ]
four day legislative investigation
Of the States controversial $40
million year hard liquor monop-
oily. The inquiry has rocked the
State with charges and counter
charges Of graft, influence ped.
ding and corruption.
The charges will be presented

The legislative research COM
mittee'S hearings also have drawn
the attention of the Internal

Secrecy Charged.
The G. o. p. dominated State
legislature a year ago ordered

The "study"-which has included
only four days of testimony-has
blossomed into MOTOR Maine

Mr.. Payne added fresh fuel today

much. When he says that we
should get a more positive
policy. I very much agree in this
sense: I believe that we must
state our simple detectives in
such terms that we. as well as
all others, can understand, read
and see the essential justice
and decency Of it. Our position
must be stated in terms of prin-
ciple and moral values. We
must not try to draw a little
geographic line around the
world and say-'here is the chip
on my shoulder - don't you
knock il off, We establish a
position of the support of those
free peoples who want to live
essentially as, we do. Then. in
each case, we determine what is
the best tactical action to take.
So to that extent - just a
minute, parliamentary told
me my time is past. I have two
more questions. I will take one
from this side, and one from
that.
@. Gen. Eisenhower. Senator
Lodge yesterday turned down
the notion of q compromise
which was put forward by Sen
ator Taft on the. question of the
contested delegates in several Of
the Southern states. I believe
you were quoted as saying that
the kind Of compromise that
Senator Taft had suggested was
a good idea. Could you COM
ment on that?
Eisenhower: No, I didn't say
that. Somebody walking be-
hind me said: There is some
offer in. the Southern States"
He didn't even make the at
tempt to describe it to me. I
said: "That is good" I just
said: THAT is good because it
sounded good. However, as long
as to the question has come up,
let me make myself particularly
clear. I told you just a minute
ago that ] am not seeking for
any delegate who doesn't be-
lieve that there is a service that
I can perform for the United
States. BY the same token, I
am against the thwarting of the
will of the American people no
matter what it is and where it
comes from. prolonged ap-
plause). Without knowing any
of the facts of this particular
quarrel. which I assume will be
dug out by properly appointed
bodies Of honorable men who
will try to find what the justice
of the thing is. assuming that
is all going to be done I merely
say that stand on this: What
is the will of the Americans
who had the right to vote at
that moment?

each Of its citizens may under

@. Sir, appropos of your OPEN
ing remarks about peace. the
foreign aid bill in its present
form has been cut about bill
lion and a half dollars more or
less. From Paris, you indicated
that drastic cuts might be fatal
to your defense. From Abilene,
you indicated that. in its present
form, roughly. the bill might be
acceptable. What, if anything.
caused you to change your
mind?
Eisenhower: I didn't change
my mind. I said this: The bills
before Congress- am quoting
now what I said at Abilene-the
bills now before Congress repre-
sent the peak of expenditures
that I believe we are going to
have to incur with respect to
those nations now involved with
us in NATO. I said in Paris
that we could, of course, in any
expenditure as vast as this, alb
Sorb certain cuts, make adj
juStmentS without too great q
diminution in the programs we
are trying to attain. But when
you go too far was re-
ferring. of course, to the Lis
bon goals setup - those goals
were calculated then by experts
and economist from all coun-
tries, including ours-the cost
of it was estimated. If you cut
those supports too far. you very
naturally cut the program. I
said that what this will cause
will be radical readjustments in
the program, because, remember
this: If you can get two or three
million dollars worth of produce
ton, let's say, out Of France.
for one hundred thousand dol
lars worth of copper, then you
see what I am trying to talk
about in this. It is a very COM
plicated. intricate problem. I
pointed out that have no part,
I have had no part, in the cal
culation of the cost. My part
has been as a leader of the
whole military hierarchy. Ex-
tending from Ankara clear back
to Washington, as far as the de-
tense Of Europe is concerned,
to work out a program that
ought to give to us. all of US, a
feeling of confidence in the mill
tary equilibrium in those areas
in which we are interested. No
aggressive intent, just that we
can live in safety and tranquil
lily.
@. Then you don't think that
the cuts as they stand are ia
tai?
Eisenhower: I am fearful
I thought that a cut of about
a billion dollars might be &C
ceptable, or at least it might
be adjusted to without any great
trouble. Those who go beyond
that cause me to worry. I don't
conceal it. They cause me wor-

Indiana Republicans
Order 81 Delegates 10
Support Senator Taft
BY the Assoeiossd Pres,

BY the Assoeioied Press
INDIANAPOLIS, June T. A
sweltering Indiana Republican
convention today loudly instructed
it's 80 delegates to vote for Senator
Taft. But one pro-Eisenhower
delegate defled the action and
another delegate may not comply.
If 80 Hoosiers vote for Senator
Taft, it would give him a prospec-
tive Chicago convention lead of
about 70 votes over Gen. Essen
hover.
The Indiana Taft organization
flattened Eisenhower opposition
in choosing most delegates, on q
voice vote told them to vote for
Taft for the presidential nomina-
ton until the Ohioan releases
them.
Indiana's selection of delegates,
the last major one before the Chi
cago convention opens July z, left
the two top contenders for the
presidential nomination short of
the publicly committed strength
needed for first ballot nomina-
ton.
Claims Half Of Total.
Senator Taft said at Indiana
polls yesterday he believes he has
half Of the 1905 delegates-13 of
them yet to be chosen. Whether
he will try for nomination on the
first ballot will depend on what
seems to be the best strategy at
the time, he said.
Gen. Eisenhower's campaign
manager, Senator Lodge of Mass
achusettS, has said the General
can win on the first ballot.
With the 30 sure votes he got
in Indiana, Senator Taft's stand
ing in the Associated Press tabu-
lation jumped to 462 delegates.
Gen. Eisenhower was credited with
389. Other candidates had 1901
and 212 were publicly uncommit-
ted.
Senator Capehart, convention
chairman, said the Indiana in
Struction is legal and morally
binding" and all 80 delegates are
"honor bound" to vote for Senator
Taft. However. he added: IF
they don't, we couldn't hang
them"
Publisher Balks.
The Eisenhower delegate, Pub
Usher Eugene c. Pulliam of the
Indianapolis Star and Indian
apolis News, denounced the action
in bitter terms. He said he and
another delegate. William Hutch
eson, will not vote for Taft under
any circumstances"
Mr.. Pulliam said he had just
talked to Mr.. Hutchinson and, al
though not speaking formally for
him, said he was sure I'VE will
vote as we damn please" He said
the convention cannot gag us
or make us vote to suit them"
and under no circumstances will
we vote for Taft"
Mr.. Hutchinson also expressed
Indignation at the resolution bind
ing his vote and added, IT have
been for Eisenhower all along and
I see no reason to change my
mind now"
Mr.. Hutchinson, former presi-
dent of the AFL Carpenters Union,
had been listed yesterday by both
Taft and Eisenhower leaders as
neutral.
Edwin Steers, ST., treasurer of
the Indiana Republican Commit
tee and a member of the State
Election Board, said the coven-
ton action ''is tantamount to
unit rule"
However, the Republican ma
tional convention does not recog-
nize the unit rule of delegates in
voting unless it is unanimously
adopted by the State delegation.
