States control of the oil-laden
lands under the marginal seas.
Gen. Eisenhower has said he
favors such a course.
Republican Senate leadership
has given high priority to the
bill to give control to the States.
Mr.. Truman's order was ex-

the drive to speed passage.
Last year the Senate passed
an identical bill, so to 35, and
the House followed suit by an
even larger margin.
The President vetoed the bill,
saying it would amount to a 100

tion at his last news conference

that the order would be issued.

Advocates of Federal control
have insisted it would be easier
for the oil concerns to exploit
the lands If they were admin

There was no accurate esti-

Review Of The Week Eisenhower Offers Atomic Formula

HQPE, which springs eternal in
IL the human breast, would not
be stifled this week end, even by an
abrupt Soviet mo" to President
Eisenhower's new plan for an end
to the worlds atomic tensions.
Flying to New York Tuesday
from the three-power Bermuda
conference (see below), the Ameri-
can Chief Of State went before the
United Nations General Assembly
to offer q msodus UiUendi for the
atomic age. Almost as soon as he
had finished his 25-minute speech,
Moscow's big propaganda guns
opened up with q scornful denun-
citation Of what he had had to say.
But this week end, the White
Houses attitude was one Of hope:
The Soviet had said no-but later
word made it clear that Moscow
was not yet ready to say positively
no.

'Operotion condor'

The first phase Of the Presi-
dents address was discussion Of
Americas atomic capabilities. This
was what had been awaited for
months as Operation Candor."
If it was not particularly reveal
ing, the reason was not his forum;
1t was his subject. It is unlikely
that the President would-or could
have been more specific in a
purely domestic address, which
would have reached essentially the
same audience of international
leaders.
But though the "Candor" part
of his speech did not pinpoint
Americas atomic capacity, it en-
phasized the horror potential Of
the atom as weapon.
Atomic bombs today" the
President said, "are more than Is
times as powerful as the weapons
with which the atomic age
dawned, while the hydrogen weap-
ol1s are IN the ranges Of millions
Of tons Of INT equivalent"

mined, his speech was the first in

Far East

THE U. N. negotiator at Pan
munjom gave the Communists
a demonstration last week of what
is apparently new allied policy.
Of business -or-else in conferences
with the Reds.
Special Envoy Arthur Dean took
the sort of action which the Big
Three repeatedly agreed to use at
the Berlin conference. He decided
the Communists had stopped
negotiating, so he walked out.
The U. N. side tried last week to
get the negotiations out of the
mire in which they had become
stuck at the end Of the previous
week. Mr.. Dean gave the Reds
what he said was the final u. N.
offer. Essentially it was a reca-
pitulation of past U. N. conces-
sion to bring neutral nations into
the projected Far East political
conference provided Russian par
Elephants were not tagged "neu-
trail" But the Communist nego-
tiators said no without further
discussion.
Mr.. Dean said he would await a
Red counterproposal.
At the following meeting, how
ever, the Communists filled the
air with invective, and refused to
negotiate. When they accused the
United States of conniving with
South Korea to release the $1,000
nti-CommuniSt prisoners who
escaped from allied stockades last
June, Mr.. Dean stalked out.
He would not resume talks, he
said until the Communists sought
him out and apologized.
The only progress during the
week in Korea was with Americas
tough old South Korean ally,
Syngman Rhee. Mr.. Dean said
President Rhee agreed to q. N.
proposals in the Panmunjom talks.
Previously Mr.. Rhee had objected
to any mention of neutral partici-
patton in peace talks.

Three One

The Presidents United Nations
speech was q combination of three
things In one:
. It was, in part, the long-awaited
Operation Candor," by means Of
which the American people would
be brought closer to understanding
Of the facts Of atomic life.
. Il was q warning - in the
revolutionary tradition of the
Don't Tread on Me" 1lag-that
the United States was strong and
in no mood to brook aggression.
. It was an offer Of Cancellation
and cooperation to the world in
general and, in particular, to an
other great power which up to now
had shown itself to be something
less than conciliatory and CO.
operative.
And In sum, the Eisenhower plan
was an appeal to the two worlds to
put more emphasis on the mutual
interests that lead to peace and
less on the differences that lead
to war.
West of the Iron Curtain, think
ing men agreed that the Presi-
dents address was constructive
and Statesmanlike. Some thought
1t the most mature and mean
ingful of his 11-month career as
a world politician. And to the
east, the best that could be done
by way of criticism was loud in
vective and the question (by Rus
sia's U. N. delegate Andrei vishin-
sky): ''Where Is the ban?"
It was this reaction, both east
ern and western, that gave the
White House hope. Said Press
Secretary James G. Hagerty on
Thursday:
"The President always recog-
nized that his suggestion would
require thoughtful study. There
fore, any 24-hour reaction by So
Wet officials or Soviet propaganda
media cannot be accepted as any
thing more than stop-gap interim
statements. We are still very hope
ful' that the Soviet leaders will
recognize the Presidents pro-
poSal for what it is-a serious and
feasible first step toward atomic
peace"
In Moscow, meanwhile, United
States Ambassador Charles E.
("Chip") Bohlen lobbied inside
the Kremlin for Soviet support of
the Eisenhower plan. And Moscow
was reported studying it.

Politics

" AG LA A4G01 abUcIApt w buS
Junior Senator from Wisconsin
to flex his muscles in public turned
out last week to be something less
than q bowling success. The Nc
Carthy letters-to- the White House
campaign, which started with q
bang December 8, ended with a dull
thud.
The campaign got under way
when the Senator urged his fans
in a TV speech to tell the President
by letter and telegram whether
they preferred the Eisenhower pol
icy toward allied trade with Red
China or the tough Mccarthy
policy.
The White House announced last
week it had received about $4,000
letters and as many kilograms on
the subject but that the flow was
drying up. (Normal mail receipts
over that period would have been
about II 600 pieces) The score was
the Eisenhower program by nose
in the kilograms, and the Nc
Carthy plan by neck in the
letters. And that, said the White
House, would be the last COM
munique on the contest.
The Senator had no comment.
KnowIonds View
Apparently the last had not been
heard on the Mccarthy objections
to administration trade policy,
however. Senate Majority Leader
Knowland-the person officially
responsible for guiding the Presi-
dents program through Congress
said he thought all free world
trade with Red China should end,
at least until the Communists talk
peace in Korea. He said the Nc
Carthy position was not a chal-
lenge to the President, however.
Senator Knowland also took a
firm stand on the communism
and-politics controversy. Senate
Republicans, he said, would GER
tainly make Red inf1ltration under
the Democrats an issue in 1854
and again in 1856.
Legislation for "a
The actual administration leg
islative program for next year was
being hammered out in the White
House last week during a series of
cabinet meetings. The officials
were working on the Presidents
state-of-the-union message which
will 60 to Congress early in jan
uary.
The most important develop
ment announced was the final
Pentagon decision on its budget
recommendations. The Air Force
will expand; the other services
will lose personnel--just how much
was not made public-if the plan
is approved.
Congressional leaders will be
asked for advice on the message
next week. The Vice President,
Senate and House majority lead
ers and all committee chairmen
will exchange views with the Pres
ident at the White House.

.Indo-chino

Frances military dilemma in
Indo- China was clear in the last
fortnight's action in North Wet
Nam.
From their insecure base in the
Tonkin Delta, the French are try
ing desperately to carry the war to
the Wet Mimi. But until native
Wet NameSe troops are trained in
such numbers as to give them a
larger numerical superiority, the
French are operating on a shoe
string.
The outside world learned early
last week that a strategic Franco
Wet Namese garrison in the heart
of the delta had been virtually
wiped out fortnight ago by a
Wet Mini regiment operating
within the French-held delta. Air
and ground reinforcements were
brought up and the Wet Mimi were
chased OF, removing the immedi-
ate threat to the important Hal
phong-Hanoi highway, railroad
and river junction.
Bod Time in. West
Meanwhile, in Western Wet
Nam, the French evacuated Lai
Chau, a symbolic tribal stronghold,
and moved to Dien Bien Phu, a
newly secured base nearby. The
new French position is claimed
to be better situated for both
offense and defense. From here
the French and Wet Namese hope
to resist any new Wet Mimi thrust
at Laos, and also to recruit tribes
men for guerrilla war against the
Reds.
The Communist rebels already
are contesting the French hold on
Dien Bien Phu. Wet Mimi columns
were attacking from the north
and south yesterday.

Peace OFFERING

To the Russians, the Presidents
speech was sabre-rattling and
war-mongering. Indeed, if he
had recited Americas might and
stopped there, the charge might
have been supportable. But ne did
not stop:
Should an atomic attack
be launched against the United
States, our reactions would be swift
and resolute. But for me to say
that the defense capabilities of the
United States are such that they
could inflict terrible losses upon
an aggressor-for me to say the
retaliation capabilities Of the
United States are so great that
such an aggressor's land would be
laid waste-all this while fact is
not the true expression of the pur-
pose and the hope Of the United
States.
ITO pause there would be to
confirm the hopeless finality Of q
belief that two atomic colossi are
doomed malevolently to eye each
other indefinitely across a trem-
bling world. To stop there would
be to accept helplessly the prob
ability of civilization destroyed
the humiliation Of the fireplace
able heritage Of mankind handed
down to us from generation to
generation-and the condemnation
of mankind to begin all over again
the age-old struggle upward from
savagery toward decency, justice
and right"
The Formula
Referring to a General Assembly
resolution Of November 18 on
atomic disarmament, the Presi-
dent said the United States is
ready to meet privately with other
atomic" powers. But, he said, "it
is not enough just to take this
weapon out of the hands of the
soldiers. It must be put into the
hands of those who will know how
to strip its military casing and
adapt it to the arts Of peace"
This could be done, he said, by
having each Of the atomic states
give up a portion Of its fashionable
wealth to Q central authority ad-
ministered by the United Nations.
The problem Of this central stock
piles location and security from
raids would have to be worked out
