Troops Legal Status
Abroad Promises
Senate Fight Today

The Senate is in for a battle
today over whether American
troops in Europe should be tried
in foreign courts or by their own
commanders when they are &C
cuSed Of law violations.
The stage for the fight was
set yesterday when Senator
Bricker, Republican. of Ohio
fled a reservation he intends to
offer to the treaty under which
all of the NATO nations are
agreeing to a uniform method
Of dealing with the status of
troops stationed outside of their
own countries.
Under the treaty, which will
take effect as soon as the United
States ratifies it, the courts of
the receiving state would have
primary Jurisdiction over serv-
icemen and the civilian COM
ponentS of a sending state in re-
gard to offenses committed while
off duty against other than
members Of their own forces.
The Bricker reservation would
provide for waving jurisdiction
at the request of the sending
nation.
Local Jurisdiction Now.
In defense of the treaty, staff
members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee say that at
the present time the United
States does not have exclusive
Jurisdiction over offenSes COM
mitted by its forces in Europe,
except in England, and even
there the exemption from local
jurisdiction will soon expire.
In England a World War II
statute granting American troops
complete extraterritoriality is
still in force, but was recently
repealed by Parliament, and the
repeal awaits only an order in
council to make it effective.
In some of the other NATO
countries local jurisdiction al
ready is in force by executive
agreement or international law.
According to the committee
stan, penalties imposed on
American servicemen in Euro
pean courts have not been heavy.
The most severe penalty the
committee has heard of was in
Turkey, where an American
serviceman, convicted of black
market operation. was sentenced
to year in jail and a $4,000
fine. or 2 additional years in lieu
Of the fine. The committee was
informed he took the additional
Jail sentence.
Other Treaties Come Up.
The status-of- forces treaty is
slated to be called up in the Sen
ate after the vote this afternoon
on the submerged lands bill. 1t
will be accompanied by two
other treaties, defining the legal
status Of the international mill
tary headquarters under NATO.
In recognizing the jurisdiction
Of foreign courts over offenses
committed of duty. the treaty
contains a provision calling on
the receiving state to give sym
phatetic consideration" to re-
quests to waive its jurisdiction
in cases of particular impor-
tance.
It also lists a series of basic
rights the servicemen would be
entitled to in the foreign courts,
including speedy trial, advance
notice of the charges, compul-
sorry process for the calling of
witnesses by the accused. an in
terpreter if needed, legal coun-
sci, and to have a representative
Of the United States present at
the trial, when the rules of the
court permit.

Two Cats Offered
White House to
End Superstition
By the AsSociutsd Press

NEW YORK, May 5.-The
American Feline Society says it
is offering a pair of cats to the
Eisenhowers as rodent insur-
ance and to break the long be-
lieved, silly superstition that the
President dies if a cat enters the
White House."
The offer was wired to Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday
by Robert Lothar Kendell, presi-
dent of the society.
Mr.. Kendell said he had tried
in vain to get Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt to accept cats when
her husband was President. He
added that Mrs. Warren Harding
and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge had
thrown cats bodily out of the
White House.

CounseIs Steady Growth
In Military Strenqth

We must and shall keep
Steadfastly on the course we
have set. We must-so long
as the present peril lasts
keep constantly growing in a
military strength which we
can support indefinitely. These
basic principles were agreed
upon and applied in the sue
cessful meeting of the North
Atlantic Treaty Council just
concluded in Paris.
While the amounts request
ed for technical, economic and
developmental purposes are
small as compared with the
military support, these pro-
grams are nonetheless of the
most vital Importance. They
will be applied chiefly in South
and Southeast Asia, the Mid
die East, Latin America and
Africa. Through these pro-
grams. the United States is
proving its interest in helping
the peoples of these areas to
work toward better and more
hopeful conditions of life, to
strengthen the foundations of
opportunity and freedom. To
guard against the external
military threat is not enough;
we must also move against
those conditions exploited by
subversive forces from within.
I present this whole program
to you with confidence and
conviction. It has been care
fully developed by the respons-
lble members Of this admins
tration in order to achieve-at
least possible cost-the max
1mum results in terms of our
security and the security of
our friends and allies. In nv
judgment. it represents a care
full determination of our essen
tial needs in pursuing the
policy Of collective security in
a world not yet freed of the
threat OF totalitarian con-
quest.
Unequivocally I can state
that this amount of money
Judlciously spent abroad will
add much more to our Nations
ultimate security in the world
than would an even greater
amount spent merely to in
crease the size of our own mill
tary forces in being.
Were the United States to
fail to carry out these pur-
poses, the free world could be-
come disunited at a moment
OF great peril when peace and
war hang precariously in bal
ance.
This is the way best to de-
fend successfully ourselves
and the cause of freedom.

India Minimizes Attempt
To Bomb Nehru Train
BY the Asseeioted Press

BOMBAY, India. May 5.-A
police spokesman said today that
an explosive grabbed from a rail-
way track Just ahead of Prime
Minister Nehru's train turned out
to be four giant firecrackers.
Some Indians. however. doubted
the explanation.
Reports yesterday from Kalyan
railway hub. IS miles from Bonn
bay, said a policeman there re-
moved a live bomb from a track
just a few minutes before the
Amritsar Express thundered
through, carrying Nehru from
Jalna to Bombay.
These reports said the police
man, patroling the track, fired on
an unidentified man believed to
have placed the explosive on the
track, but the man escaped.
The police spokesman said
the four f1recrackers were in
capable of doing anything but
slight damage.
Indians expressing doubt over
the explanation pointed out that
the government played down the
story of an attempt to assassinate
Mohandas K. Gandhi with a
bomb, but the would-be killer was
sentenced later for the attempt.

The tert OF President Eisen-
hoDer'S message to Congress
on foreign aid:
I recommend to the Congress
the passage Of legislation ex-
tending the Mutual Security
program in order to enable the
United States to carry out its
responsibilities of leadership in
building up the security of the
free world and the prospects
for peace both for ourselves
and our allies.
The basic purpose of this
program is simply the long
term security Of the United
States living in the shadow Of
the Soviet threat.
The program being submit
ted to you includes approxi-
mately IS billion $50 million for
military weapons and support
directly to the defense efforts
of our friends and allies. It
also includes approximately
$3.50 million for technical, eco
nomic and developmental pur-
poses designed to promote more
effective use of the resources of
the free nations and thus to
further the freedom and secur-
ity of all Of us. This total
represents a reduction of about
1.8 billion from the previous
administrations 1854 budget.
The devotion Of so large a
portion of this request to mil
itary purposes is a measure
of the peril in which free ma
tions continue to live. The
blunt, sober truth is that we
cannot afford to relax our de-
fenses until we have seen clear,
unmiStakable evidence Of gen.
timely peaceful purpose on
the part of the Soviet Union.
AS I strived to make clear to
all peoples in my recent appeal
for real peace and trust among
nations, we continue earnest
ly to hope for such evidence,
so that the world may turn its
energies and resources to Serv-
ing the needs, rather than the
fears, Of mankind.
Until Soviet good faith is
proven by deeds, the free ma
tions must rely on their own
strength for the preservation
of peace. To fail to continue
vigorously to strengthen our
military forces would be to
risk wasting all our efforts for
the past five years. in defense
of our liberties.
