LoyoItyCheck
Urged for All
Senate Aides

A loyalty check on each of the
1900 Senate employees was rec
commended to the Senate today
by its Rules Committee.
The committee proposed that
the name of every Senate en-
ploye be sent to the FBI for a
check on whether there is amy
derogatory information in the
possession of such agency con-
corning the loyalty of such per-
SON."
The check would apply to all
persons on the payroll or staff
OF each Senator, all Senate COM
mittees and employees of the
Senate itself.
In the event of derogatory
information, the committee rec
commended "such further investi-
cation as shall have been con-
sidered necessary to determine
the loyalty of such person"
Chairman Jenner of the Rules
Committee said the proposal
was made by Senator McCarran
Democrat, of Nevada and was
approved by voice vote of the
committee.
He said Senator McCarran also
proposed check of names
against files of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties and the Central Intelligence
Agency for ANY derogatory in
formation" but the Rules Com
mittee knocked this out.

Protocol on Troops,
Rome Spokesman Soy

ROME, Feb. 25.-The six for
eign ministers of the European
army plan nations today reached
a compromise decision repeatedly
settling bitter differences be-
tween France and West Germany
over the European Defense Com
munity treaty.
The agreement was reported as
the leaders of France, West Ger
many, Italy, Belgium, The Meth
erlands and Luxembourg held
final sessions of a two-day con-
ference timed at cutting out
some of the hurdles on the road
to West European economic. po-
litical and military union.
Exact details of the agreement
were not disclosed. But the
Italian spokesman said the for
eign ministers might make the
text of their accord public at the
end of their conference today.
The spokesman said the agree
ment by all six ministers was
favorable to the creation of the
army and added: 1.-The idea of a
united Europe proved stronger
than natjonalism."
Shift by France Reported.
A spokesman for the Italian
foreign ministry said French
Foreign Minister Georges BIZ

had met the objections of West
German Chancellor Konrad Ad-
enauer with redrafting of the
conditions France wants to at
tach to tina already signed but
not ratified treaty to establish
the one-uniform West European
army.
Mr.. Bidault was reported to
have modified a French proposal
which asked in effect that
French troops be free to be sent
from Europe to Frances over
seas territories in case of emer-
gency.
He insisted, however. accord
ing to word from the conference,
that France should retain full
voting rights in control of the
army regardless of the man.

nauer suggested that the vot-
ing rights should depend on the
number of divisions each nation
contributed. Thus if West Ger

than France, she would have
additional voting power in ad-
ministration of the army.

Mr.. McCardle did not make

Eisenhower Warns
Against Regulating
World War Il Pacfs
Sticks to Statement
F. Hitting Red Failure
To Honor Pledges
BY J. A. O'Leory

President Eisenhower today
cautioned Congress on the dan
ger in repudiating any World
War II agreements, but did not
draw the line against any change
in his resolution on enslave-
ment.
He was asked at his news con-
ference if he thought it would
be unWise to make his resolu-
ton more specific, as some Re-
publican Senators would like to
do.
The President replied that he
is certainly not one to say that
none of his proposals can be i'm
proved on by others.
At the same time. he said it
is necessary to know exactly
what the effects are in passing
such a resolution.
Danger Spots Mentioned.
For example. he said he could
think of some places in the
world, notably Berlin and Vien-
ma. where this country might
find itself on spot if it re-
pudiated World War II agree
ments.
In the form in which he sent
it to Congress. the Eisenhower
resolution denounces Russia s
failure to live up to World War
II agreements by giving small
nations a free choice in adopting
forms of government, but his
draft did not attack the agree
ments themselves.
In mentioning Berlin and vi
emma, the President presumably
had in mind the possibility that
reputation of the agreements
might give Russia an excuse for
challenging this country's posi-
ton in those cities.
Willing to Meet Stain.
Asked whether he thought
anything would be gained from
a meeting between himself and
Stain, President Eisenhower
said he would be willing to go
half way to meet anybody any,
where if he thought there was a
chance it woAlld do any good, but
he would advise this ccuntry's
allies as to what subjects were
to be discussed.
Gen. Eisenhower emphasized
that what the United States is
seeking to repudiate in his pro-
posed resolution is the idea that
it will condone the enslavement
of free peoples. He said he be-
lieves the United States is con-
cerned about the fate of these
peoples and he does not think
this Nation can afford to let
them think they are forgotten.
Asked about the events lead
ing up to the agreements. the
President said he has tried to
make it clear that he has no
interest in going back and rak-
ing up the ashes of the past. He
added that he is not interested
