after Representative Javits, Re-
publican, of New York, asked why
this country has not proceeded
against aggression in Indo-C China
in the General Assembly of the
U. N, where there is no veto.
The Secretary replied that in
the case of Korea in 1850, the
United States had greater re-
sponsibilty for taking the initia-
tive that it has in Indo-China,
because the United States had
bene the occupation force in
Korea. Then he added, however,
the reference to current consul
tations. He said talks are going
forward with France, Thailand
and the three associated states
Of o-China.
Budget Plans Threatened.
After he left the witness chair,
Mr.. Dulles SAID ne was not pre-
pared to elaborate at this time on
the question of possible U. N.
action.
He made it clear to the COM
mittee earlier. however, that the
fall of Indo-C China, Laos and
Thailand would knock a good
deal of a hole in our present

IF aggression should be Sue

tinued, then the position of
Burma would be acute, and the
position of Indonesia would be
shaken. Think of that in terms
of Japan. Japan has always

present law, the calendar leave
year ends on the last day of the

usually is around December 20

employees with excess leave can't
use it for the holiday season.
