Accused by Grand Jury
0y the ASsoeioaed Press

SANTA FE. N. Mex, Sept. IL
A special Santa Fe County Grand
Jury tonight filed proceedings
to remove District Attorney
Bertrand Prince from Office and
urged the removal of State Con-
troller Edward Hartman.
The Grand Jury formally ac-
cused Mr.. Prince of corruption
in Office and of trying to get a
witness to perjure herself. The
jurors said he also failed to
prosecute many violations of the
law in his district, which en-
braces five New Mexico counties.
Mr.. Hartman was accused of
being "remiss, negligent and
derelict in his duty" in connec-
ton with two audits by his
Office.

However, Senator Ives, Re-
publican, of New York, said
the United States can't afford
to cut back its defense effort,
even if it means continued high
taxes.
Senator Hill. Democrat. of
Alabama. said he thinks a thor
ough review of foreign policy
should precede any decisions on
foreign aid program to be sub
mitted to the next session.
IF our objective can be made
clear, we in Congress will be in
a much better position to act
on foreign aid proposals." Sen

Wilson Refuses Plea
For Troops 10 Control
Flow Of 'Wetbacks'
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Wilson has
refused Attorney General Brown
ellis request for the use of troops
to control the flow of Mexican
"wetbacks" into this country,
but has offered financial assist
ance.
The term "wetback" originally
identified Mexicans who swan
or waded across the Rio Grande
to enter the United States IL
legally. It is now applied to all
illegal immigrants from Mexico.
The Justice Departments Bor-
der Patrol, which was never
able to stop the flow completely,
suffered an administration budg-
etary cut for this fiscal year.
The Attorney General, after
two days of inspection by hell
copter and automobile along the
140-mile border between Mexico
and California, came up with
the proposition that Army troops
and light planes be put on the
job.
Opposed BY Brass.
The proposition left the Army
generals cold. Mr.. Wilson agreed
that such an assignment was
not one for the soldiers.
Instead. he suggested the plan
of using Army civil works funds
as is done in national emergen-
cies. such as floods and snow
storms.
The funds-one Defense De-
partment official estimated the
Justice Department might need
between 81 million and 50 mil
lion to do an adequate job
would be used to employ addi-
tional patrolmen. build fences
and buy gasoline for extra plane
patrols.
Up to so per cent Of Army
divisions are manned with draf-
tees and. among other things,
the Army feared they might be-
come panicky during Mexican
patrols.
No Training Value.
Too. the Army said 1t would
have to use training units and
that such duty would not provide
adequate training.
The final decision will be up to
President Eisenhower.
Nowadays, many wetbacks
come over in boats or hidden in
trucks and don't even work up
a sweat but the name has stuck.
Just how many succeed in
lodging the Border Patrol is
unknown but Mr.. Brownell esti-
mates that 100000 went unap-
pretended in the IL months
ending July 81.
The immigration and NaGurali-
zation Service. of which the Bor-
der Patrol is y part, says more
than 100000 were caught, COM
pared to $1,000 in the pervious
year. Legal workers are recruited
by the Farm Placement Service
of the Labor Department under
agreement with the Mexican
government.

Foreign Aid Program
Faces Stiff Opposition
From Senate Foes
BY the Associoted Press

A cross-Section of legislative
opinion indicates the Eisenhower
administration may have to
make drastic changes in the
form of foreign aid to get Con-
gressional approval of any future
program.
The foreign aid issue will be
surveyed by a 17-member COM
mission named by President
Eisenhower last month. Clarence
Randall, chairman of the board
of Inland Steel Corp. is chair
man of the study group.
Even before the study gets
underway, however, lie d in g
members of Congress have made
it clear some major alterations
will have to be made in the pro-
gram for which Congress this
year voted $6 billion including
S4.5 billions in new money. the
rest in funds carried over from
plcNIOuS dppIOpI ldIlOIlS.
Knowland Is Critical.
Senator Knowland of Califor-
mia, the Republican floor leader,
has been particularly vocal on
this point in a current tour of
the Far East.
Senator Knowland's theme is
that only those nations which
demonstrate they can act ef-
fectively on the anti-Comlnunist
team should get further help. He
said that applied to Asia as we'll
as to Europe.
Senator Johnson of Texas, the
Democratic floor leader, has said
he has voted for his last foreign
aid bill unless some European
countries - particularly France
and Italy-"set their house in
order"
Before his death, the late
Senator Taft. Republican of
Ohio. disclosed he had notified
Harold E. Stassen, now Foreign
Operations administrator. that
Mr.. Stassen had better get ready
to present an aid liquidation
program to the next session of
Congress.
G.. o. P. Bloc Determined.
There is evidence that the
large bloc of Republican Senators
was often followed Senator Taft's
lead are as determined as he was
to wind up foreign aid.
Some Senators in Washington
briefly during the recess of
Congress generally have indicat-
ed they expect radical changes
in foreign aid.
One of these. Senator Holland,
Democrat, of Florida. said that.
while he doesn't go so far as
Senator Johnson in opposing
future programs: II think we
must confine our help where it
will be of the most benefit and
if we are not getting results, we
should stop the aid"
Flanders Suggests Slash.
Senator Flanders. Republican.
of Vermont, suggested President
Eisenhower ought to consider
looping billions off atomic -hy-
drogen development, defense
outlays and foreign aid.
1--WE may have reached the
point of diminishing returns in
these fields" he said. Maybe

ton if the people concerned
think about it and talk about
it"
The topic probably will come
up at the National Committee
meeting at 4:30 pm. Tuesday,
final business of the two-day
agenda. 1t will be followed by a
reception for Mr.. Stevenson and
his speech at $3.50 pm.
A re-joining of the North
South conflict could be brought
about by Gov. John S. Battle of
Virginia and. Gov. Hugh White
of Mississippi who have planned
to demand remuneration of the
loyalty pledge.
The pledge as put through
the 1852 convention was a
watered down compromise. 1t
requires delegates to pledge their
aid in getting the party's nom
inees on State tickets under the
Democratic label, to which some
Southern leaders objected.
Can't Change Rules Now.
Mr.. Mitchell said it would be
impossible to change the rules
now but that discussion could
lead to peace in the next con-
vention. He said the discussion
will start with the facts"
transcript of the last conven-
tion's proceedings.
One of the subjects which the
Democrats will tackle is a pro-
posal for a national convention
or conference to be held next
summer. A congressional COM
mittee and general committee,
both appointed to consider hold
ing such a mid-term national
convention or conference will
meet tomorrow morning.
Southern members of Con-
gress have been strongly opposed
to the suggested convention
particularly if it is to write a
party platform or declaration of
principles. Some Of the Northern
Democrats also have looked ask
ance at the plan, The opposi-
tion lies in the fact that at such
a convention the whole North
South issue, and a Federal FEPC
and other civil rights measures.
may tear the party asunder
again.
A forum discussion of the Re
publican farm program, includ-
ing a comparison of campaign
promises and actual perform
anceS. is another feature Of the
tWo-day gathering. Three for
mer Democratic Secretaries of
Agriculture will take part, and
Democratic members of the
agricultural congressional COM
mittees. and several Democratic
governors. Gov. G. Mennen Will
liams of Michigan will be chair
man and preside.
Mr.. Truman arrived in Chi
cago yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Stevenson is expected to arrive
today to attend a luncheon given
by Chairman Mitchell in Mr..
Mitchell's apartment. Other

4-Percenter' Probe
Prods Navy Brass TO
Plug Contract Leaks
By james {. Roper

The Navy tightened secrecy
around contract negotiations
only after a House subcommittee
started investigating Warren L.
Stephenson, it was disclosed last
night.
Mr.. Stephenson got his hands
on Supposedly-confidential bids
submitted by companies seeking
to build rocket launchers for the
Navy. Mr.. Stephenson used this
information to try to win
per cent commission on extra
business he might obtain for
Century Engineers. Inc. of Bur-
bank. Calf.
The leak occurred in March
or April. The Navy learned
about it sometime afterwards
before a House Armed Services
subcommittee under Representa-
tive Hess of Ohio started closed
hearings June 18.
EUA ASSuCS VNdkAlAlSs
1t was not until July is, how
ever. that the Navy cracked
down. On July Is. Vice Admiral
Charles w. Fox, then Chief of
Naval Material, wrote to Navy
procurement officers:
ITO maintain. the integrity of
the negotiation procurement
process as well as to insure the
equitable treatment of all in
terested suppliers, procuring &C
tivitieS shall take such measures
as may be necessary to prevent
the divulging of prices, or the
conditions, of any individual con-
tractors proposal prior to
actually making the award Cor

Similarly. information with
respect to recommendations
made by intervening command
echelons to the ultimate author
ity for review and approval is a
matter for official consideration
only and shall not be dissent
mated outside the military estab-
lishment, except upon competent
authority
Disclosure Barred.
Even before this order, Penta-
gon regulations barred disclosure
of details about contracts under
negotiation. The Hess hearings,
however, brought testimony that
some details got to be known
generally.
During the hearings, Repre-
sentative Hardy, Democrat. of
Virginia, accused Navy repre-
sentatives of deliberately trying
to mislead the investigators into
thinking that no information had /.
leaked from the Navy on the /
rocket launcher contracts.
