of peace which will insure the
safety of Southeast Asia as
well as a united Korea and to
end all entanglements with
the U. N. in Korea, including
the false theory, as Senator
Taft sees it. that the allies

Senator Taft is a realist. He

see how the U. N. can function
in Korea at all. and he believes
it is common sense now to
recognize that fact and build
a strong alliance in Asia as
we have attempted to do in
Europe.
Senator Taft, like Mr.. Attlee,
reserves the right to criticize
failures on the part of allies.
The President, on the other
hand, cannot appear to be
making any criticisms of the
"go it alone" policies of other
nations which have failed to
bear their share of the burden
in Korea. So, when the Taft
speech is examined carefully, it
will be found to be an attempt
to put before the world the
facts Of a situation that has
become dangerous for the
United States-the drift on the
part of our allies for nearly
two years toward "go it alone"
doctrines and the hamstring-
ing of American commanders
in their military operations in
the Far East. Senator Taft de-

Wednesday. It contained a very
significant reference to the
breakdown of the U. N. not
only in Europe but in Asia and
the substitution of military al
lianceS for u. N. action.
Senator Taft isn't opposed to
alliances. He objects to Amer
lea being left alone by allies
who now are "going it alone"
The President is right when he
extollS the virtues of alliances,
and he was even more logical
when he said he assumed Sem
ator Taft felt we should follow
at least our own beliefs and con-
victions in the situation-cer-
tainly that we should not try
to go ahead without allies.
Britain, of course, at present
has a separate and isolated
policy with respect to Formosa
and continued recognition of
the Communist government in
China and it is conceivable
that Senator Taft thinks the
same situation might have to
continue indefinitely. That's
why he said:
II believe we might as well
forget the United Nations as
far as the Korean war is con-
cerned. I think we should do
our best now to negotiate this
truce, and if we fail. then let
England and our other allies
know that we are withdrawing
from all further peace negotia-
tionS in Korea"
UnqueStionably, Senator
Taft meant withdrawal from
peace negotiations through
the U. N. and the India reso-
luton, because this process has
been full of inhibitionS and
restraints imposed by nations
like India, which not only
recognize Communist China
but have refused to assist in
repelling aggression, even
though the U. N, by resolution
in October, 1850, called on all
its members to do so.
Reading between the lines
of the Senator's speech, it may
be inferred that, if the truce
negotiations collapse. the pol
icy advocated by Senator Taft
is that the United States re-
cover its freedom of action and
endeavor to make an alliance

Durkin Will ATTEMPT
To Head Off Cuts as
Labor Dismisses 652
By james Y. Newton

Secretary of Labor Durkin,
whose official life has not been
too happy, will address a special
plea to the Senate next week in
an effort to head off a budget
cut which would cost the Labor
Department 652 jobs.
Mr.. Durkin will appeal to a
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee for restoration of admin
istrative funds which the House
Topped from the departments
budget. Senator Thye, Repub-
lican, Of Minnesota, is chairman
of the group handling the de-
partment budget.
Meanwhile, a department
spokesman said the $50 employees
facing loss of jobs will get their
termination notices by Monday,
along with another 100 persons
to be let 60 to reduce expenses
to the level of the Eisenhower
administrations budget. The
number of those employees are
about evenly divided between
Washington and the field Offices.
Funds Cut So Million.
The House cut Labor Depart
ment funds more than SO mil
lion, or about II per cent under
the Eisenhower budget, and
about 10 per cent under the ap-
preparation for the current fiscal
year. The figure allowed by the
House for administrative ex-
penseS for fiscal 1854 was just
under $27 million. The depart
ment now is operating under a
budget of about $32 million.
The hardest hit bureau If the
House figures stand will be
Wage-Hour and Public Con-
tracts, which is sending termi-
nation notices to 228 employees.
The other divisions of the de-
partment and the number of en-
ployes they would lose follow:
The Secretary's Office. "a; Soil
citor's Office. 70; Labor Stand
ards. 81; Veterans Re-employ-
ment Rights. 8; Employment Sc
curity, including the Mexican Ia
Dor program, 1863; Employees
Compensation, 81, and Labor
Statistics, 81. The Bureau of APP
premiership will pick up % jobs
and the Women's Bureau will
break even as a result of the
House action.
Personnel Already Cut.
Labor Department personnel
already has been reduced from
the number earlier in this fiscal
year. The $500 employees at the
start of the year has been cut to
$685. because Of job freezes and
reductions.
The Wage-Hour and Public
Contracts division, in anticipa-
ton the budget cut will be final,
has announced plans to close
three of its 10 regional Offices,
and % of it's "a smaller field Of
fees. The regional Offices which
would be closed are at Boston,

he has gotten away with it.
Even the superficial impress

It is true that in the ex-

Since Gen. Eisenhower be-
came President there has been
a strong feeling in Japan and
the rest of the Far East that
the previous American policy
of compromise at any price
would come to an end. This
permitted the pro-American
Yoshida government to re-
main in Office though only by
a f1imSy majority.
If the impression should be
created in Japan that this
was not so. reports from
Tokyo indicate that the
Yoshida cabinet would soon
fall. Our contemporaries to
the Chinese Communists for
an armistice are already re-
garded in Japan and in most
parts of Southeast Asia as an
indication of weakness and an
unwarranted yielding to the
Red aggressors.
President Eisenhower's quail
1f1ed opposition to the adj
mission of the Chinese Com
munistS to the U. N. will only
further increase the feeling
that America. like the rest Of
the Western powers, has no
choice but to bow before the

the actual intentions of the

Eisenhower Trip
Will Include Work,
Play and Politics

President Eisenhower is all set
for his first trip into the Mid
west since the voters of that Sec
ton gave him such resounding
majorities last November.
A schedule that provides for
some trout fishing-and golf if
the weather is right-and a bit
of politicking was made public
yesterday by the White House
which earlier had announced a
June speaking and holiday trip
that would carry the Chief
Executive into Minnesota and
the Dakotas and then. for the
windup. to Dartmouth College
in New Hampshire, = and New
York. He will travel entirely by
plane and car.
The President will get away
from the Caital at 1920 am,
Wednesday June 10, with Min
neapolis his first stop. He speaks
that afternoon at the Junior
Chamber of Commerce conven-
ton in Minneapolis auditorium.
Overnight in Minot.
That evening the President
flies to Minot, N. OAK, for an
overnight stay.
The next morning Gen. Eisen-
hover drives so miles to speak
at the dedication of Garrison
Dam, part of a big Missouri
River project which Army Engi-
neers are building in a flood
control and power development
program.
BY car and plane the Presi-
dent then travels to Rapid City,
S. Dak., in the Black Hills, for
an afternoon address to the
Young Republicans National
Convention at Mount Rushmore
National Memorial.
Later in the day, the Presi-
dent will drive on 81 miles to
the State game lodge at Daven-
port Lake. near Sturgis, S. OAK,
where he remains until Satur-
day. The two days at the game
lodge will give Gen. Eisenhower
a chance to fish and golf.
Flying to New England.
On Saturday, June 10, the
President will fly to Labanon,
N. H., and then will go on to
Hanover, where he will next
morning take part in the Dart
mouth commencement exercises.
Dartmouth is giving Gen. Eisen-
hover an honorary doctor OF
laws degree and he is expected
to speak briefly.
While at the college, he will be
the guest of President John
Dickey. rt
Later in the day, Gen. Eisen-
hover will fly to Mitchell Field
N. Y, and then drive out to the
old home of Theodore Roosevelt,
Sycamore Hill, at Oyster Bay,
Long Island, for ceremonies
marking the establishment OF
the twenty-sixth PreSident's
home as a national monument
Gen. Eisenhower will return to
Washington that night.

Paul OF Greece and Queen Ferd-
erika had been invited to visit
the United States this fall. Nc
date has been set.
