Budgetary Problem. o.
For future planning, the main
problem appears to be a budget
ary one-how much the United
States can afford for. mutual se-
curity aid and how this should
be divided to meet, competing
demands in different parts of
the world. .g4ss y.
With such questions still to be
settled, the Eisenhower admin
istration has not yet decided
whether to ask Congress for
more or less than the $7.6 billion
recommended by former Presi-
dent Truman for foreign aid in
the next fiscal year. The amount
may not be set until late April.
One factor being considered is
that the Mutual Security Agency
now has around 81 billion in
funds that have not yet been
obligated. Most of this amount
normally would be obligated by
the end of this fiscal year June
80. But it gives the new admin
istration some room for maneu-
yer in planning next years
budget.
Mr.. Stassen promised in his
speech last night that American
leadership lin the partnership OF
free nations" will be "construc-
tive and courageous" He said
it will be neither unilateral bull
lying nor multilateral mileue-
toast in nature"
The mutual security program,
he added, might well involve
major increases in obtaining raw
materials from other parts of the
world" as we'll as greater buying
of arms and equipment overseas
and expansion of aid for Asiatic
development, investment and
trade.
More than TOO persons at
tended the dinner in the Hotel
Statler at which Mr.. Stassen
spoke. President Eisenhower was
represented by Maj. Gen. Wilton
B. Persons. his liaison man with
Congress. In a message read to
the group, Gen. Eisenhower said,
"Quite naturally. I have a feeling

the part Of his question about
fighting the Communists in Ko-
rea and. as the witness delayed
answering, inquired of Mr.. Fast:
why do you get so nervous
when the Communists are men
tioned?"
Mr.. Fast retorted he was
"angry, perhaps. but very calm. !"
Senator Potter again repeated
his question and Mr.. Fast re-
piled that he would plead his
constitutional privileges against
answering IF you add that last
part" s@,s .e@
Earlier, he had refused to
answer Senator Mcclellan, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas when he was
asked whether he believed in
the overthrow of the United
States Government by force and
violence. When he refused to
answer on the same constitution
al grounds, Senator Mcclellan
replied:
II grant you that privilege,
but I reserve my opinion.
SymingtOn Brings Laugh.
Senator Symington. Democrat,
of Missouri gave the witness
pause at one point and caused
a ripple of laughter in the
crowded hearing room when he
noted that Mr.. Fast refused to
say whether he was a Commu-
mist and asked:
If you are a member, why
aren't you proud of it instead of
being ashamed of it?"
Mr.. Fast conferred with his
lawyer before saying he would
not answer on the grounds pre-
viously given.
At several points Mr.. Fast
sought to explain in detail the
privileges he was claiming in
refusing to answer the questions.
Senator Mccarthy abruptly
cut him off each time with such
statements as THE committee
will not receive a lecture from
the witness"
Senator Mccarthy said the
widening inquiry into the propa-
ganda broadcasting agency now
takes a new tack. The Sena-
tor said the investigation may
take months to complete"
Mr.. Fast, author of historical
novels, served a Jail term in
1850 for contempt of Congress
arising from his refusal to, pro-
duce for the House Committee
on Un-American Activities, rec
ords of the Joint Anti-Fascist
Refugee Committee. He has
been publicly associated with a
number of movements supported
by Communists. Some of his
writings have appeared in Soviet

The Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton is wrestling with the prob
lem of how to arm more native
forces for fighting Communists
in Asia and, at the same time,
catch up on tagging arms deliv-
cries to European allies.
Aisolution hinges on top polS
icy decisions not vet made re-
garding the foreign aid budget,
and on breaking some produc-
ton bottlenecks.
Mutual Security Director
Stassen publicly disclosed last
night that arms deliveries to
Europe had fallen ''far behind
schedule" when the Eisenhower
administration came into power
1.-THE steel strike and the
administrative confusion had
caused a serious lag in defense
production" Mr.. Stassen said
in an address at a Veteran Of
Foreign Wars congressional din
ner.
He added that Secretary of
Defense Wilson already has
taken steps to speed production
of tagging military items and
that measures have been inSti-
tuted which will lead to catching
up on the programmed deliveries
of arms to our friends at the ear
liest possible date" ..
The gap between promised and
actual deliveries is attributed in
part to diversion to Korea of
some arms originally scheduled
for Europe because needs of the
Korean war had not been fully
anticipated. The new admins
tration is understood to be TAX
ing needs in Korea fully into
account in future budgetary
planning.
Greater emphasis than in the
past on the Far East in foreign
aid appropriations is indicated
by administration strategy in
that area. calling for:
/. Training and equipping
more South Korean divisions to
replace American ground forces
now tied up in the Korean war.
2. Increased material assist
ance to Nationalist Chinese
forces on Formosa to. build them
up as a threat at the heart of
Communist China and so force
the Chinese Reds to divert some
of their effort from Korea.
Aid to France.
8. Building up native forces in
Indo- China to help relieve some
of the burden on France in
fighting Communist forces there.
While this whole area clamorS
for priority in American foreign
aid planning as the place where
the shooting war is going on in
the worldwide struggle against
Communism, the defense build
up in Western Europe is consid-
cred a vital part Of the cold

Hand Of Communists
Disclosed by Inquiry
Into Danish MutinY
By the Assecio'ed Press

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 18.-
Danish authorities produced
evidence today of a Communist
hand in the recent wave of
mutinies and hunger strikes over
extension of military service
from IL to 18' months-now
apparently squashed.
A letter written on Communist
Party stationery was produced
today in a Haderslev court trying
two soldiers on charges Of taking
part in the mutiny.
Dated February 16.
It was found in the pocket of
one OF the demonstrating soldiers
when he was searched after his
arrest. Dated February 16, the
letter read:
"Comrade. AS you have seen
from the newspapers, great
things have happened. I am
coming to Haderslev and would
appreciate very much to meet
you so that both of US can talk
things over. I shall meet you in
the home of Joergen Madsen, 81,
Slagtergade, around 5 o'clock
pm. Hope you will be there.
It is important. Regards (signed)
Bent w. Nielsen"
Nielsen is a Communist Youth
Movement leader. a
Two Face Court.
The soldier. Pvt: Johannes
Andersen and Pvt. Wilfred Noer-
holm appeared in court, charged
with taking part in mutiny.
Three students, arrested in
Toender for distributing leaflets
to soldiers, admitted to police
that they were Communist Party
members. The leaflets called for
demonstrations against extension
of the military service term.
The students will be charged
under a clause in the civil penal
code dealing with "instigating
insubordination in the armed
forces"

sarily, explaining he was open

Whatever was developed, he
grinned, he hoped the confer
ence would be friendly. At the
outset of the conference he ex-
planned that he could not ac-
count for reports that he had
developed an antagonism to the

the way in which he had been

years in the public eye.

Secretary James C. Hagerty if
he could do something to get
back on the basis of the Demo-
cratic era.
He made no promises, .
EARLIER, Mr.. Hagerty had told
the Women's National Press
Conference that the administra-
ton plans to have a freer foW

The questioning brought out
that Mr.. Fast had been a lunch
con guest of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
at the White House during the
war.
Senator Mccarthy brought
that out in his questioning and
asked:
Were any other Communists
there?"

Mr.. Fast refused to answer on
the grounds he had previously
given. He also refused to reply
when Senator Mccarthy asked
at one point:

and whether he has any friends
in the State Department who are
members of the party.
Senator Potter, Republican, of

ing to inquire if Mr.. Fast, if
drafted, would serve in the Army

Bridges Urges Slash

Foreign Aid Spending
~ The Associated Pres,

Senator Bridges. Republican,
Of New Hampshire called today
for reaSSesSment and reduction
of foreign aid spending and said
he will ask Secretary of State
Dulles for a preliminary estimate
of how much may be needed to
help anti-C Communist nations.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee, which Senator
Bridges heads, called Mr.. Dulles
and Mutual Security Admins
traitor Stassen to discuss the
overseas aid program at a closed
session.
Senator Bridges said Mr.. Dulles
and Mr.. Stassen would be asked
If the aid program can be oper-
ated for another year on about
$40 billion already appropriated
by Congress. Former President
Truman had asked for q little
more than SIS billion in new
funds for the fiscal year start
ing July l..
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
Of Nevada, member Of Senator
Bridges committee, said he is
confident the unspent billions
are enough, and he added:
Foreign aid spending ought
to be cut to the bone. Congress
not only should cut the funds,
but see to it that ho1dover money
is spent intelligently."
Senator Bridges said he hopes
Secretary Dulles and Mr.. Stassen
plan some Sizable reductions in
foreign spending. That is why
he ordered a closed session, the
Senator said. He added he plans
to hold public hearings on all
money bills if this is possible.
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. Stassen
recently made a flying trip to
Europe. There are indications
they will hold up fund requests
until after a North Atlantic
Treaty Organization meeting set
for April.
Last year the Democratic ad-
ministration asked $7.9 billion
for all foreign aid programs.
Congress finally voted Sc billion
of new funds. But more than
that is on hand,- unspent from

Ford Urges Dropping
OF Tariffs in Move
Toward Free Trade
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO. Feb. 18. - Henry
Ford II says the United States
should lead the free world
/ toward freer trade" by eliminat-
ing all tariffs and other import
barriers.
The president of the Ford
Motor Co. said yesterday Amer
ican businessmen constantly ap-
plaud competition and private
enterprise and added:
$50 I just say, let's practice
what we preach, where 1t will do
us and our allies some real good.
Lets give our friends fair
crack at the American market.
II am not urging a course OF
action which I feel would benefit
others at our expense. I am
convinced that a considerable
growth in our foreign trade
imports as well as exports
would be a continuing shot in
the arm of our whole economy"
Four Point Plan Proposed.
Mr.. Ford-who said the United
States should get rid of the 10
per cent tariff on automobiles
at once-proposed a four-point
plan which included:
1. A new law that would en-
courage "the most rapid possible
elimination of all tariffs"
g. Scrapping the quota system
under which only a fixed amount
Of a product can come into the
country.
3. Abandoning the Buy -Ameri-
can Act, which prohibits United
States Government agencies
from buying foreign goods un-
less they sell at least 25 per cent
under the lowest domestic bid.
4. A workable" law to SIM
plify customs procedures.
= Speaks at Press Meeting.
Mr., Ford spoke at a meeting
Of the Inland Daily Press Asso-
citation.
The tariff also bobbed up in
speeches at the Chicago. World
Trade Conference.
John S. Coleman, president of
the Detroit Board of Commerce
and president of the Burroughs
Adding Machine Co., suggested
a gradual reduction in tariffs to
stimulate international trade.
Both the Ford and Coleman
speeches jibed with the broad
aims of a policy statement made
public last fall. by the Detroit
Board of Commerce.
The board urged that the
United States abandon protec-
tive tariff barriers and adopt a
free-trade policy in the worlds
markets. The boards proposals
are understood to have the
support of most, If not all. of the
Nations automobile manufac-
turerS. - 81
