sage to joint session of Con-
gresS, the President announced
he would ask Congress to re-
pudiate any secret understand
ings" of the past with foreign
governments which permitted
the "enslavement" of other ma
tionS.
That was an oblique reference
to wartime conferences at Te-
heran. Yalta and Potsdam, at

and Truman, which Republicans
long have said resulted in secret
agreements with Russia.

and radio at home and abroad.

balancing must precede tax re-
duction.
2. Recommended that price
and wage controls be allowed to
expire April 80, and said rent
controls should be continued
past the April 30 cutoff date in
those areas-principally defense
where the housing situation is
acute.
3. Promised to rid the Gov
eminent of all disloyal and I'M
reliable workers. and outlined a
new employe security program.
4. Advocated amendments in
the Taft-Hartley labor law.
5. Said the new McCarran-
Walter act, which retains the
old national origins system of
regulating immigration, is dis
crlminatory and should be
changed.
6. Promised to strive for Ma
tion-wide progress in civil rights
matters.
Z. Recommended Federal
State-local program of dealing
with natural resources, including
water power.
Makes Decided Shift.
The Presidents formal dis
closure that the wraps were be-
ing taken off the 7th Fleet was
coupled with an assertion that
"the free world cannot indefi-
nitely remain in a posture of
paralyzed tension" in the strug-
gle with communism. It marked
radical shift from the Truman
policy of neutralizing the forces
of both the Communists and
Chang Kai-shek by the fleet
patrol in the Formosa strait.
Denying aggressive intent"
by the move which had been
forecast for several days. the
President left unanswered the
question of what would happen
if the Communists sought to in
wade Formosa, where the Ma
tionalists set up their govern
ment when driven from the
homeland.
In effect. he said, the Navy has
been acting as a defensive arm
of Communist China"
The President slapped at
secret agreements" in asserting
that the new foreign policy will
envision all peaceful methods
and devices-except breaking
faith with our friends-in seek
ing world security.

Avoid Deportation
BY the A.soeia,sd Press

The Justice Department says
that Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt
Field, wife Of the leftist New
York millionaire, has left the
United States with her two chill
dren. She had been given the
choice Of leaving or being de-
ported.
Her husband, great-great
grandson Of Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. has frequently
been described as the financial
"angel" Of left-wing groups and
has been q target Of repeated
congressional investigations OF
communism.
Attorney General Brownell
said yesterday the United States
immigration Service has verified
that Mrs. Field. a native OF
Canada, crossed the border into
Mexico at Ell Paso, Tex, on De-
cember z. She was accompanied
by her two minor children,
Michel and Elise, who, like their
mother. are Canadian citizens.
Failed to Bar Custer.
Mrs. Field, SO, was formerly
married to DR.. Raymond Boyer
who was convicted in Canada s
Soviet spy ring case in 1947.
Mrs. Field was taken into Gus.
tody earlier this year for de-
portation proceedings after Fed
eral authorities challenged the
validity of her entry from
Canada.
Last August she fought the
case before the Board Of I'm
migration Appeals; but the board
turned her down and on Sep
tember she was notified that
she could either leave the coun-
try voluntarily or face deporta-
ton.

The aunt and uncle. Mr.. and
Mrs. Max Donner of the Bronx
died last August, less than two
weeks before the Fradens. Mrs.
Donner and Mrs. Fraden were

lieved to have died when the

The Donners left $4,000 in a

border at the deadline of the
time limit.
Mr.. Field was indicted for
contempt of Congress in 1851
after refusing to answer ques-
tions at q hearing before a Sen
ate committee investigating
communism. Brought to trial
without a jury. Mr.. Field was
acquitted when a Federal Court
judge ruled he was legally en-
titled to plead possible self
incrimination in refusing to
answer the questions.
Later in 1851, a Federal judge
in New York sentenced Field to
80 days in Jail for refusing to
disclose who put up the bail
money for four Communist lead
ers who went into hiding after
being convicted of conspiracy to
teach the violent overthrow of
the Government.
Mrs. Field was born in Mont
real on April II, 1917.
