BERLIN. May 28.-Russia took
it's control over East Germany
out of the hands of the mill
tary today. It could mean with
drawal of troops, eventually.
The announcement said the
Soviet Control Commission is
abolished, Gen. VASTLY I. Chui-
kov will handle only troops
henceforth, and Vladimir Sem
yenov returns to Berlin as "Su-
preme commissar" for the Soviet
Union.
Semyenov thus becomes civil
ian boss of affairs for 10 mil
lions East Germans. He served
here before as political adviser
to Chuikov.
Gen. Chuivkov, hero of Stain
grad and litter of the Berlin
blockade, undoubtedly will not
remain here long merely to di-
rect 100000 occupation troops.
It might be, allied sources said,
that his last job in Germany
will be to take Ivan home"
Imitation of West Seen.
Western circles heard last Feb
ruary that the Russians had
fixed June l as a target date to
withdraw troops.
The selection of Semyenov to
be top man in East Germany is
in some respects an imitation of
the Western powers who have
chosen ambassadors" to West
Germany. AS soon as the Euro
pean defense treaties are ratified
by all six participating nations,
the American, British and French
high commissioners will be am
bassadors" to what amounts to
a sovereign state.

Resolutions to locate parents

A resolution to hold State
presidential primaries instead of
national conventions was voted
down by a vote of 208 to 1859.
Mrs. Cogley Cole, Devay, Ind,
who spoke against such a consti-
tutional amendment, said that
the candidate would have to be
extremely wealthy or backed by
wealth in such a State primary
She said a "good-looking candi-
date with lots of sex appeal would
sweep such an election"

Direct primaries are not in
accord with the underlying prin-

said.
The women unanimously
agreed that the Social Security
Administration should give ad-

from their social security records
to courts or responsible court Of
f1cials to locate parents who have
deserted families. The resolu-
ton was presented by the Geor-
gia Federation of Women's Clubs.

President Eisenhower today
defended the cut that has been
made in the Air Force budget
declaring that he did not believe
it would jeopardize the safety
of the country for what he de-
Scribed as a reasonable posture
of defense.
Getting into a controversy that
has already brought a demand
from Democratic sources for the
resignation of Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson, Gen. Eisen-
hover told a news conference
that the Air Force now pro-
grammed would give this country
its greatest strength over the
years.
The President also made it
clear that he was the final judge
of the amounts that should be
spent for military preparedness.

Radford Alters
Strong Views
On Air Power
New Developments
Modify His Opinion.
He Tells Senators
By John A. Giles

Admiral Arthur w. Radford
told Senators today that in view
of developments since his testi-
mony in the famed revolt of
the admirals" three years ago he
had modified his strongly held
views on air power.
The newly designated chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
said. there have been develop
ments and improvements in ma
terials which naturally cause
me to modify some of my po-
Sitions"
He added that he felt that the
Air Forces strategic bombing
fleet lis one of the most impor-
tant arms of our national de-
fense-we always must have a
powerful strategic air arm"
Billion Dollar Blunder."
The long range B-36 atomic
bomber is the backbone of the
Air Force strategic command and
four years ago Admiral Radford
called that plane a billion dollar
blunder.' This statement came
during hot dispute between adj
vocates of heavy Air Force bomb
ers and hackers of carrier-based
naval aircraft.
Today. the admiral appeared
before the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee which is consid-
ering his nomination to be Chair
man of the Joint Chiefs.
Admiral Radford opened the
session with the statement that
it was his understanding that
the chairman was expected ito
divorce himself of any service
affiliations and to be as impartial
as anyone can be-"
Has Modified Views.
Returning to his views of four
years ago, Admiral Radford said
he honestly" held them at that
time.
But under conditions today I
certainly would modify them"
he added.
A smile broke over the face
of Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri. The Senator,
four years ago Secretary of the
Air Force, and the admiral were
in the thick Of the fight at that
time.
Chairman Saltonstall, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts,, ques-
toned the admiral on his views
on unification Of the armed
services.
IF unification means uni
formity of all the services, I'm
against it," Admiral Radford
replied. 1--WE have to have three
very strong separate services. We
don't want agreements just for
agreements sake"
When Senator SaltonStall
asked him if he felt that the law
should be changed so that the
chairman could vote on high
strategic matters, the admiral
replied that such a change would
provide an "imbalance" in the
voting. He said the chairman
was a sort of general manager"
of the joint chiefs.

Medical Test Ordered
ToLearn if Grunewa|d
Can Stand Jail Term
Court Delays Sentence;
House Letter Labels
Defendant 'Evusive'

Sentencing of Henry w. (the
Dutchman) Grunewald on a
charge Of contempt of Congress
today was postponed for a week,
pending a medical examination
to determine whether imprison-
ment would endanger his life or
health.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff, in
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, acted after
receipt of a letter from a House
Ways and Means subcommittee
which stated that Grunewald had
been "evasive" and "untruthful''
in recent testimony. The judge
refused to allow Grunewald to
change his plea of guilty to con-
tempt OF Congress to not guilty.
The judge granted the post
ponement after Defense Attor-
ney William H. Collins presented
a doctors certificate saying
Grunewald had suffered a new
health complication, a respira-
tory ailment, since he completed
testimony earlier this month be-
fore the House subcommittee.
Orders Medical Test.
Judge Holtzoff commented
that he did not believe "the
ends of justice would be salts
fled by imposition of a mere
fine"
The judge then directed AS
sistant United States Attorney
William Hitz to have an i'm
partial physician examine
Grunewald. Arrangements were
underway for DR.. Bernard Walsh
to make the examination.
The contempt charge stemmed
from Grunewald's refusal. even
to tell his name to a House sub
committee investigating income
tax scandals last year. A number
of other contempt charges were
dropped at the time of the guilty
plea.
Letter Is Critical.
Mr.. Collins moved for a plea
change from guilty to innocent
after reading of the letter from
Representative Kean, Republi-
can, of New Jersey, addressed to
the United States attorney.
The letter, which had been
requested by the court in an
attempt to determine whether
Grunewald had co-operated with
the subcommittee during reap
pearanceS subsequent to his
guilty plea, described the defend
ant as evasive and at times I'M
truthful.
The subcommittee had been
investigating Grunewald's con-
nections in tax settlements and
had questioned him on his own
tax returns.
The letter declared that
Grunewald testified freely on

The Commissioners today an
nounced they will seek an 8 per
cent pay raise for District school
teachers and principals.
But school officials above the
rank of principal won't be in
cluded, the city heads disclosed.
The pay-raise plan is a COM
promise. The Board of Educa-
ton had asked a 10 per cent in
crease for both teachers and adj
ministrative officers.
At first the city heads refused
to ask any raise at all, however.
So today's action is a victory for
the school board, which made a
strong plea to the city heads last
week.
City officials will draft a
special bill including both the
teacher increase and a similar
8 per cent boost for police and
firemen, Commissioner Samuel
Spencer announced.

Those Of you who wish to

The Commerce action may set
a new style in Government. In

bureaus have frowned on the
idea of employees shedding their
coats and ties during the sum-
mer. Lack of dignity, etc.
However, the new Republican
administration may provide a
new look in more ways than one
if other Federal agencies follow
Commences example. It will be
especially popular with employees
who work in non-air conditioned

Boost in Fares
Asked Of ice
ByArno|d Line
Token Increase
And Zone Split
In Virginia Asked

The Arnold Bus Lines today
proposed new increases in fares
between the District and points
in Virginia.
The company. known officially
as the Washington, Virginia and
Maryland Coach Co.. filed its
plan with the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The rates
will become effective June %
unless the ICC orders a hearing.
The Arnold company proposes
to split Zone / into two zones.
The limits of the new Zone 1
would run roughly from the
intersection of Military and
Marcy roads to Glebe road and
Lee Highway, thence along
Glebe to Wilson boulevard, to
George Mason drive and Airing
ton boulevard. and from there to
the intersection of Glebe road
with Columbia Pike.
All stops in the present Zone l
beyond this line would fall into
the new zone.
Under the schedule, the use
of tokens would be eliminated
in the first zone and passengers
would be charged a straight 20
cent cash fare.
Tokens could be used by pas
sengers travelling into two or
more zones. but Arnold proposes
to raise the cost of the tokens.
Proposed Token Setup.
At present, tokens are sold at
the rate of six for ST., an average
of 1928 cents each. The COM
pany plans to raise the charge
to six for $l.05, or 1712 cents
each. This is the proposed sched-
ule by zones:
No. straight cash fare of
20 cents.
New No. Cash fare of Is
cents or one token plus cents
(totaling 22l2 cents.
No. 3 (the present Zone a.
80 cents cash or one token and
10 cents cash.
No. (present Zone 3-35
cents cash or one token plus Is
cents.
No. S (present Zone 40
cents cash or tokens and cash
amounting to 37la cents.
No. 6 (present Zone 5-45
cents cash or tokens and cash
amounting to 42l2 cents.
The proposed increases will
affect $4,000 persons who COM
mute daily between Washington
and Nort3ern Virginia commune
ties.
Other Proposals Studied.
Assuming that a citizens pro-
test is filed with the ICC, the
commission probably will call a
hearing postponing the effective
date. In that case, the ICC
would decide the merits of the
company'S proposal.
The commission is conducting
a hearing now on proposals by
the Arnold line. and two other
transit companies to raise rates
between the District and mill
tary installations in Virginia.
The other two petitions are the
Alexandria, Bancroft g. Wash
ington Transit Co., and Capital
Transit Co.
In addition, A. B. & w. seeks
to raise fare from the District to
points in Virginia other than
the military installations.

to state his position as regards
the delicate Korean situation.
But he told his news conference
he himself intended to lead the
American people in the direction
he believed would bring free
world unity and peace.
Gen. Eisenhower said discour-
agement and resentment about
some developments in relations
with our allies should not turn
this Nation from its goals. We
cannot, he said, desert the great
cooperative purpose on which
we are embarked.
The President declared en-
phatically that no single nation
can live alone in the world as
1t is today. He said his whole
foreign policy is based on that
idea. We have got to have
friends tied to us in some way
or other, he added.
Tempers Stand on China.
He also told his news confer
ence:
l. He does not think Commu-
mist China should be admitted to
the United Nations under pres
ent conditions but would not go
so far as to say now that the
United States should serve not
ice it would withdraw financial
support from the U. N. if Red
China ever were admitted. The
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee yesterday approved an ap-
preparation, rider to that effect.

that the mass of the American
people realize that there is no
safety for a free country going
it alone, and nothing in the mail
indicates any growth Of isola-
tioniSm.
8. He believes his projected
Bermuda conference next month
with the British and French
Prime Ministers will be beneficial
in itself, but does not think it
necessarily will lead to a later
conference with Russia.
Explains His Views.
The first question asked at
the Presidents news conference
was whether he shared the view
expressed by Senator Taft, in
a speech read for him in
Cincinnati Tuesday night. The
Senator said then that if truce
talks collapse. I'VE might as well
forget the United Nations as far
as the Korean War is con-
cerned."
Gen. Eisenhower's reply was a
flat no. Then he went into
lengthy explanation of his own
views and the direction in which
he is determined to lead this gov
eminent.
The President pointed out that
he had a great deal of expert
ence in dealing with coalitions
In Europe as allied commander
during the war and as the first
commander of North Atlantic
Treaty Organization forces.
This is always a difficult task,
he said. He explained that &C.
casions are certain to arise when
q decision by any one nation act
ing singly would be better than
a compromise worked out to get
unaminity of the allies.
But you can't cooperate in
Just those spots of the world you
would like to select, he went on.
