Eisenhower in Bonn
Ito See Adenauer on
German Defense Role
By the Assoeioted Press

BONN. Germany, May 2-Gen.
Eisenhower arrived here today to
discuss with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer a role in Western de-
fense for Western Germany.
Indicative of the host country's
officially still disarmed status.
there was no military honor guard
for Gen. Eisenhower's arrival.
Lunch with Mr.. Adenauer will
be the supreme Allied commanders
first chance to talk privately with
him about West Germany's pro-
.jected part in Atlantic defenses.
They have met only once before
at public reception given by
United States High Commissioner
John J. McCloy in January. 1851.
The Western powers hope Ger
many will agree to peace con-
tract and a European defense
treaty that will put 100000 SOL
diers into the proposed one-uni-
form European army to serve un-
der the Allied commander.
Rising German opposition, how
ever, has shaken Mr.. Adenauer's
grip on two parties in his three
party coalition and threatens to
kill these proposals on which the
Western powers already have been
counting.
Secretary of State Walter Hall
stein met Gen. Eisenhower at
Wahn Airport nea. Bonn. About
100 spectators watched as they
greeted each other warmly and
Immediately stepped into Mr.. Ade-
nauer's limousine for the drive to
the chancellery.
A small group of German and
Allied officials were invited to the
luncheon with Mr.. Adenauer and
Gen. Eisenhower. The general
planned to fly back to Paris i'm
mediately after lunch.

! PERSONNEL CUTS EASED-
Prospects are becoming increas-
ingly bright for less drastic agency
personnel cuts.
| AS reported here yesterday, the
Senate has voted, in the Labor
Federal Security 1853 money bill
to ease considerably the House
approved Jensen rider. The Sen
ate voted 10 per cent personnel
cut below original budget esti-
mates and exempted a good many
bureaus from even this reduction
| The Senate is expected to vote
for the same formula in most o1
the other agency money bills.
The Jensen rider would impose
cuts ranging from 10 to Is pei
cent over and above reductions al.
ready made by the House. This
would mean a 20 per cent per.
Sonnel cut in most agencies
Under the Jensen provision, thu
reductions would be achieved by
filling only 25 per cent of per.
Sonnel vacancies. The Senate:
provision would allow the agencie!
to absorb the 10 per cent budget
cut anyway they saw fit.
OF course, the issue will have
to be threshed out in House
Senate conference. Out of i
should come some sort of com.
promise along the lines of tn,
current Ferguson Jensen rider
whereby agencies were cut 10 PEI
cent in personnel funds below
budget estimates, with the reduc,
tion achieved by not filling Is PEI
cent of vacancies.
! The current rider has no
caused much hardship in mos
agencies, since most of them hat
asked for more workers than the,
already had. AS a result the II
per cent cut in budget estimates
amounted to considerably les
than a 10 per cent reduction O

Presidents Praise
To Aid Eisenhower, ,
Backers Declare
BY the Associoted Press

President Truman's news con-
ference statement that Gen. Els
enhower is as fine a man as ever
walked brought a thanks very
much" reaction today from Re-
publicans backing the general for
the G. o. P. presidential nomina-
ton.
The President put it accurately
and what he said will help our
cause" said Senator Morse of
Oregon. an Eisenhower man.
In the wake of Mr.. Humans
praise, however, came a demand
from Senator Green of Rhode
Island, an administration support
er, that the general say publicly
whether he favors a SOS billion cut
in defense and foreign-aid spend
| ing as advocated by an Eisen-
hower-for President leader, Sen
ator Carlson of Kansas.
Carlson Voices Own Views.
Mr.. Carlson told a reporter he
was expressing strictly my own
views" in calling for the reduction
in a Senate speech yesterday. But
he added that on Wednesday he
had mailed copy of the speech to
Gen. Eisenhower in Paris.
Il just thought he might be in
terested in my views" Mr.. Carlson
said.
Senator Taft (Ohio), the other
principal contender for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
said in an Ohio speech recently
he would reduce Federal taxes IS
to 20 per cent within two years
if elected.
Aside from the cuts in defense
and foreign aid, Senator Carlson
suggested these others for fiscal
1858: So billions in domestic aid
and special service programs such
as Federal aid to States, 81 billion
in Federal civil works projects, So
billion through general tighten
ing of all of the defense
activities of Government.
While Senator Morse and other
Eisenhower supporters felt the
Presidents praise would help
their candidate, none of them
doubted that Mr.. Truman meant
just what he has said in declaring
he plans to work as hard to elect
a Democratic President as though
he were running himself.
Mcmahon Enters Race.
:. Earlier Wednesday Senator Nc
Mahon of Connecticut announced
he is a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination. He is the fifth
Democrat to enter the race. The

Truman Stands Firm
On Refusal 10 Run,
Wont Name His Man
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman has just
about slammed the door on any
die-hard supporters who Still had
faint hopes that he might stand
for draft at the Chicago nom
mating convention.
At the same time, he has made
it clear again that he is not ready
to tap a Successor-yet.
The possibility that the dele
gates who will choose a presi-
dental nominee might decide to
put him at the head of the ticket
despite his statement that he
would not accept the nomination
came up at a news conference late
yesterday.
| What would he say then?
The President responded firmly
that the answer would be no.
Asked if he would say he would
not serve if elected-a statement
sometimes attributed to Gen. Will
liam Tecumseh Sherman, Mr.
Truman laughed.
He couldn't be elected if he did
not take the nomination. he said
Good Word for Mcmahon.
There has been some Specula-
ton about Truman draft in
event the now wide-open Demo
cratic nominating convention got
in a snarl, but Mr.. Truman's firm
ness seemed to dispose of that.
At the same time yesterday. he
had a good word for Senator Nc
Mahon of Connecticut, who had
just announced that he was avail
able for the Democratic nomina-
ton. He also put in another plug
for Gov. Adlai Stevenson of IL
Ilinois, who also looms as a dark
horse despite his announcement
that he, too. is out of the race.
Mr.. Truman said the Connect.
cut Senator is we'll qualified, anc
when Gov. Stevenson's name came
up, characterized him as another
good man. In fact, the Presi.
dent said, the party is getting
some good men in the race.
But he had no opinion to ex.
press about the possibility of Gov
stevenson changing his stand.
The only Democrat toware
whom the President has beer
chilly is Senator Kefauver of Ten.
