Hopes to Root Out
Communist Peril
Before Elections
By Cecil Holland

President Eisenhower today
took a strong stand against Sem
ator McCarthy'S attacks, again
decried communism as an issue
in the 1854 elections and said
the future of the Republican
Party depends on whether Con-
gress enacts "a progressive, dy-
manic program"
"Unless the Republican Party
can develop and enact such a
program for the American peo-
ple," Gen. Eisenhower told his
news conference, "it does not
deserve to remain in power"
Without mentioning the Wis
conSin Republican by name, the
President said he was "in full
accord" with the statement made
yesterday by Secretary of State
Dulles attacking Senator Nc
Carthy's clustering" foreign
policy ideas.
Gen. Eisenhower reflected the
serious view being taken of the
administrations conflict with
the controversial Senator Nc
Carthy by reading his statement
to the reporters. He ruled out
questions on the subject.
Covers Domestic Issues.
The Presidents statement
ranged beyond the foreign
field covered by Mr.. Dulles,
dealing with political and do
mestic matters on which the ad-
ministration has found itself at
odds with Senator Mccarthy.
After saying he was in accord
with Mr.. Dulles statements,
Gen. Eisenhower continued:
THE easiest thing to do with
great power is to abuse ito
use it to excess. This most pow
erful of free nations must not
permit itself to grow weary of
the process of negotiation and
adjustment that are fundamen-
tai to freedom. If it should
turn impatiently to coercion of
other free nations, our brand of
coercion, as far as our friends
are concerned, would be a mark
of the imperialist rather than of
the leader"
This was an obvious reply
and a rejection-of Senator
McCarthy's suggestion in his re-
cent radio-TV address that the
administration should drop the
''perfumed note" approach and
use economic pressure on West
ern allies to cease trading with
Communist China as a means of
settling the Korean war.

Senator Mccarthy and other Re-
publicanS over whether Commu-

I am in full accord with
the statements made yester-
day by Secretary Dulles in his
press conference. I would like
to add this comment to what
he said: The easiest thing to
do with great power is to abuse
ito use it to excess. This
most powerful of the free ma

to grow weary of the processes

What America is doing
abroad in the way of military

much a part of our own secur-
ity program as our military ef-
forts at home. We hope to be
able to maintain these over

program as long as our en-
lightened self-interest re-
quires, even though we may,
and probably we always will,

G. 0. P. Accomplishment
Will Decide Its Fate

In my judgment, the eff
cheney and vision with which
the Government is admins
tered by this Republican adj
miniStration, and whether or
not the Congress enacts a
progressive, dynamic program
enhancing the welfare of the
people of our country, will de-
termine the future political
complexion of the Congress
and the future of the admins
tration. I am convinced that
those who fight for the pro-
gram that I shall soon submit
to the Congress will deserve
and will receive the respect
and support of the American
people.
In any event, unless the Re-
publican Party can develop
and enact such a program for
the American people, it does
not deserve to remain in power.
But I know that these senti-
ments are shared by the vast
majority of the Republicans
in the country. particularly by
my close associates both in the
Senate and in the House of
Representatives. Because of
this unity of feeling such
program will be enacted.

Insists Again Reds
Won't Be '54 Issue

This fact arouses juStifiable
concern about communism in
our own Government. I re-
peat my previously expressed
conviction that fear of Com
munists actively undermining
our Government will not be
an issue in the 1854 elections.
Long before then this admins
tration will have made such
progress in roofing them out
under the security program de-
veloped by Attorney General
Brownell that this can no
longer be considered a serious
menace. AS you already know
about $500 persons who were
security risks have already
been removed. Fair, thorough
and decent Investigations, fol-
lowed by unheSitating correc-
tive action, are the most ef-
fective-and the only efficient
way to get this necessary job
done.
BY next fall I hope that the
public. no longer fearful that
Communists are destructively
at work within the Govern
ment, will wish to commend
the efficiency of this admins
tration in eliminating this
menace to the Nations Sc
curity. The people must have
the facts on this important
subject in order to reach
sound conclusions. AS pro-
vided for in the liberalized
regulations of this administra-
ton. established facts, so far
as the national security per-
mits. will continue to be made

The best way to keep sub
versiveS out Of the Government
is not to employ them in the
first place. The administra-
ton will continue to hunt for
any that are present and, Of
course. any subversives located
by a congressional committee
will be removed just as
promptly as any others.
In all that we do to combat

that we protect the basic rights

President Rules
Out Increased
TaxCoIIections
Says Government
Should Economize
Through Efficiency
By Joseph A. Fox


President Eisenhower said
today he doubts that the Gov
ernment next year can or should
try to collect more tax revenue
than it is now collecting.
Gen. Eisenhower told a news
conference that the Govern
ment's objective was to bring
expenditures down to present or
somewhat lower tax levels.
This. he said, could be through
constant improvement in man
agement methods. He said
there is constant study of every
phase of the defense program.
but it is clear that he does not
want to damage the security Of
this country.
Seeks to Care for Deficit.
In telling questioner that he
did not expect to get more reve-
nue. than at present from the
new tax measure, however, Gen.
Eisenhower indicated that the
program to be sought early in
the next session of Congress
will seek to do no more than
care for the So billion deficit
on an annual basis-that will be
created by scheduled tax reduce
tionS next year.
The excess profits tax goes of
December 81; there will be a 10
per cent reduction in the indi-
vidual income tax at the same
time, while on April l there will
be cuts in the corporate taxes
and in excise taxes.
When the President was asked
if he favored the scheduled COR
porate tax cut. he responded he
would not go into details.
The question of seeking addi-
tiouAl tax revenues was raised
in connection with the Presi-
dents earlier statement that he
did not expect balanced budget
by July /, 1855.
Confident of Savings.
The President said he was cer-
tain, however, that savings could
be effected by the constant i'm
provement of administrative OPP
erations and he added. in this
connection. that no one wants
savings at the expense of Sc
curity.
The President indicated agree
ment with Defense Secretary
Wilson's contention that there
can be a cut in military man
power but while the Defense Sec
retary estimated that this reduc-
ton could be about 10 per cent
of existing strength, Gen. Eisen-
hover said he did not know If he
could specifically fix percent
age slash.
He commented, however, that
with the Korean War-at pres
ent. at least-in what he de-
Scribed as quiescent state there
naturally was less demand for
manpower and supplies.
Avoids Criticism.
Explaining that he did not
want to criticize what had been
done in the past, Gen. Eisen-
hover said the partial Korean
mobilization had through neces-
sity been carried out in hurried
fashion and that now the ad-
ministration aim will be to de-
termine if the military estab-
lishment is larger than it should
be.
Emphatically, however, Gen.
forces closest to danger zones
will not be released.
The President prefaced his
news conference by telling re-
porters that he had been receiv-
ing most encouraging reports
from the press and otherwise on
the results growing out of Vice
President Nixon's trip to the
Far East.
The President said he was cer-
tain that because of the trip. i'm
proved cooperation will be
brought about between the
United States on one hand and
ASiatic countries on the other,
and that there will be a further
realization of the aims they
share together.

Churchill Reaches Bermuda After Riding

------~---
ject at the Bermuda talks: The
question of Communist China's
entry into the United Nations is
not open under the present cir
cumstances to negotiations to
any one.
Gen. Eisenhower leaves WASH
ington by plane Friday to join
Britain's Prime Minister Church.
i'll and Frances Premier Laniel
in the Big Three talks.
The President also touched
briefly on Russia's Thanksgiving
invitation to four-power con-
ference in Berlin. The Russian
note. he said, is being carefully
studied to determine whether the
conditions which the Western
powers consider indispensable to
such a meeting are being met.
Hopes for Understanding.
Asked about his own hopes for
the Bermuda talks, the President
compared his feelings with those
of a commander on the eve of
battle. There are some things,
he said, that you know you can
do-others that will come along,
given a reasonable amount of
luck In addition, he said, there
are great hopes.
After conversations with Sir
Winston and Mr.. Laniel. said
Gen. Eisenhower, he was sure
that there would come about a
better understanding of prob
lens faced by each of the major
Western leaders.
Among them he named Frances
struggle against Communism in
Indo- China and Britain's diff
culties in Iran and Egypt. We
also have some problems of our
own which might come under
discussion at Bermuda, the Pres
ident indicated.
Delicate Business.
The conduct of foreign af-
fairs, he said, is very delicate
business. 1t is easy to develop
quick and violent misunder-
standings. To keep this from
happening. and to cure such
misunderstanding which have
occurred are the primary objects
of the coming talks, he declared.
Gen. Eisenhower was ad-
mittedly cautious in expressing
himself on the subject Of the
Russian invitation to a Big -Four
conference. He wouldn't want
to make any generalizations
about it, he said. With Secre-
tary of State Dulles he believed
this was one subject that must
be studied very throughly before
we could make any official
statement about, it.
In any talks with the Russians,
however, the United States would
be adamant on one thing, the
President said. That is the right
of ourselves to have a govern
ment of our own choosing and
certainly, in principal, the right
of our friends to have govern
ments of their own choice.
Questioned on Eden Statement.
The reference was apparently
to the inSiStence of the United
States that any settlement OF the
German and Austrian problems
the central issues of the pro-
posed four-power conference
must include the right of all
Germans to free elections.
The President was questioned
about a statement made by
British Foreign Minister Eden
that he had reason to believe
the United States would accept
the Russian invitation.
Gen. Eisenhower reminded
the newSmen that we have time
and again issued invitations to
the Russians to such a confer
ence. The question under study,
he said. is whether the condi-
tions we consider indispensable
are being reasonably met in the
latest Russian offer.
