Despite outward appearances
of harmony. many Republicans
on Capitol Hill are disturbed by
the record of the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration to date.
This became clear in the wake
of yesterdays Senate Republican
Policy Committee meeting, which
was taken up with what one par
ticipant referred to later as
real gripping" on the subject.
Republican criticism centers
on three main points: The ham
ding of patronage. the lack of
coordination between leading
members of the administration
! and the attitude of the White
House staff toward members of
Congress.
Patronage Settled Earlier.
Patronage matters presumably
were settled some weeks ago in
a series of conferences between
Republican Senate leaders and
the Presidents aides. But the
issue still rankleS.
"A lot of people on the Hill
seem to feel that the Democrats
are still running the Govern
ment," one influential member
said. "The administration is
moving much too slowly in
cleaning out holdovers and put
ting in its own people. Some of
us almost have the idea that a
recommendation from a Repub-
lican member is handicap for
a man."
Staff Work Raped.
White House staff work also
draws sharp fire. The words
cold" and "discourteous" pop
up frequently in conversations
with G. o. P. legislators.
"It's getting so you feel you
have to beg for an appointment
to see the President" one re-
marked.
Sherman Adams, assistant to
the President. and Mr.. Eisen-
hower's appointment secretary,
Thomas Stephens, are principal
targets on this point.
More fundamental than either
of these criticisms is the impress
sion of many Republican legis-
lators that the new administra-
tion hasn't gotten off the
ground is stalled at dead
| center :. can't make up its mind
what it wants to do"
One G o. P. Senator who has
been seeking White House de-
cision on vital proposal in for
eign affairs for some time says
his plan has bounced from desk
to desk and back again, although
he has been promised on numer-
Gus occasions that a decision
would be reached speedily.
There's something strange
about the way things are going"
he said. "The President says
one thing, Mr.. Stassen says an
other. Sometimes Mr.. Dulles
says two things. It doesn't add
up."
Many Are Dissatisfied.
And another put it: "The two
leaders - President Eisenhower
and Senator Taft-tell us every

try without cease at all hours
and every day of the year. He
can have very little privacy. If
he has young children they are
largely governed by protocol and
cannot enjoy the freedom of the
White House as they would a
normal home"
Mr.. Baughman, in his state
ment for a Senate Appropria-
tions subcommittee considering
his agency's budget for the year
starting July l. said Secret Serv-
ice needs 18 fewer uniformed
White House guards, although
protection of the President is "a
difficult task in these precarious
days."

Korea Program
Report Denied
By White House
Published Stories
Told of Decision to
NeutruIize Formosu

The White House today denied
published stories that the ad-
ministration is considering q
Korean settlement based on a
United Nations trusteeship for
the island of Formosa and es-
tablishment of a new Korean
boundary line at the waist" of
the peninsula. north of the 38th
Parallel.
News accounts of the pur-
ported program first got wide
distribution yesterday and were
repeated today. They were based
on information obtained by re-
porters from a Government
source considered unimpeach-
able. 1t was agreed that the
news stories could be printed
without attribution to their
source.
Based on Times Story.
The White House disclaimer
today was based on a story ap-
pearing this morning in the New
York Times.
(The Times account of the in
terview, which drew the White
House disclaimer, went further
than some other reports in asso-
ciating the reported Korea pro-
gram with official administrative
policy. The Times said: 1.-THE
Eisenhower administration is
willing to accept a settlement in
Korea based on a boundary at
the narrow waist of the penin-
sula." The Star had reported
yesterday that the Korean and
Formosan settlements described
were being talked about as pos
sible solutions" but were "far
from settled policy.D
On Capitol Hill, Senator
Knowland, Republican of Cali
fornia told the Senate it seemed
unbelievable" to him that any
decision had been reached on a
permanent division of Korea.
Dulles Denies He Is Source.
Senator Knowland said he had
telephoned Secretary of State
Dulles "and he assured me no
such statement had come from
him." Senator Knowland add
ed:
1T seems to me the admins
tration and those responsible for
foreign policy should investigate
and find the foundation where
an inspired story of that kind
comes from.
1T is extremely important
that this kind of loophole be
stopped now because this Nation
cannot have two Secretaries of
State. It must speak with one
voice through President Eisen-
hover and Secretary Dulles"
Has No Foundation"
Press Secretary James c. Hag-
erty said:
"The reported American pol
icy in Formosa and Korea is
without foundation in fact.
mo consideration has been
given by the administration to a
United Nations trusteeship for
FormoSa. Likewise the admin
istration has never reached any
conclusion that a permanent di-
vision OF Korea is desirable or
feasible or consistent with the
decision of the United Nations. d"
In further explanation of the
formal statement, a White House
spokesman said that at the end
of the war, when Japan held For
moSaA and before the Nationalist
government had moved to the
island sanctuary, a proposal was
made for a trusteeship for For
mosa. This proposal was made
in connection with talks on q
prospective Japanese peace treaty
Situation Changed.
This was in 1916, it was re-
called. But the whole situation
was changed completely when
Chang Kai-shek was driven
from the mainland.
Since that time, and certainly

Ferry. Union Case
Closed, Fines Paid
BY the Associoied Press

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. ia
squabble between the common
wealth and ferryworkers' union
that began with a strike last
summer has ended with the pay
ment of $9,250 in fines by union
officials.
When the fines were paid yes
terday, Judge j. Hume Taylor
suspended short Jail sentences he
had imposed on two union off,
cials. The officials and their
union had been convicted of
showing contempt of court when
they failed to obey an injunction
ordering them not to strike with
out obeying provisions of the
State labor law.
The conviction was upheld by
the State Supreme Court of Ap-
pealS and the United States Su-
preme Court. Final mandates
from the appellate courts for
execution of the sentences were
received here yesterday.
Judge Taylor had directed his
contempt order against Local
333-B, United Marine Division
international Long shoremen' s
Association, AFL; its president,
Harry L. Everton; and it's secre-
tary, William L. Owen. The
union was fined $500, Everton
was fined $1,000 and given q
Today Jail sentence, and Owen
received a $3.50 fine and a five
day Jail sentence after the in
junction was disobeyed.

Musician to March
In First Inaugural
Parade in IS Years
BY the Associated Pres,

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 1.-THE
Naval Academy's bandleader, 1t.
Alexander c. Morris, is going to
march in his second Presidential
inauguration parade, 48 years
apart, next Tuesday.
1t. Morris was Is years old in
1905 when he played in a high
school band at the Inauguration
of Theodore Roosevelt. He'll be
64 when he leads the Academy
band at the Inauguration of Gen.
Eisenhower.
He came into contact with two
other Presidents, Calvin Cool
idge and Herbert Hoover, as
leader. OF the band aboard the
Presidential yacht Mayfiower.
1t. Morris has the record for
continuous enlisted service in the
Navy, As years. He actually is a
chief petty officer and has the
honorary rank of lieutenant by
special congressional legislation
because he is leader of the band.

to the national stockpile" of
critical materials. Defense Off
cials direct their disposition.
After World War II. the bu-
reau was set up to handle dope
seized by narcotic and custom
agents. But instead of arriving
in boxloads, drugs began to
come in carloads. as military
and other agencies began to get
rid of leftover wartime supplies.
These drugs were sorted. clas-
sified and packed in a disposal
room-from which the thefts oc-
curred-in the Treasury Depart
ment annex. Later, they were
stored in vaults. Because of per-
sonnel shortages and the volume
of drugs, inventories were less
frequent than officials wanted.
Facilities for handling the drugs
were inadequate.
From 1916 to the present, $40
gross weight tons of narcotics
have been shipped to the ma
tional stockpile," Mr.. Breiden-
bach said. Records, he said,
showed that 28ls ounces of CO.
caine were missing during the
operation.
Mr.. Breidenbach said good
headway" was being made to
straighten out the temporary
postwar condition" even before
the thefts were discovered.
During the last year, however.
he said, the disposal room has
been moved to the annex of the
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, where heavy security provi-
sions prevail. The flow of drugs
also is back to normal.
Inventories" Mr.. Breioen-
bach added, will be made when
We have anything to inventory
We've disposed of the stock that
was on hand.
If man got in there tonight,
he wouldn't find half pocket
full to take away"

Dope Witness Given
Term in Prison

A man who was called as a
Government witness in the re-
cent large narcotic conspiracy
trial. but refused to testify on
grounds of fear of possible self
lncrimination, yesterday was
given a prison term of from 20
months to 5 years for narcotic
law violations.
The defendant is John H.
Smith, %. colored. Of the 900
block of T street NV, who was
convicted of selling a narcotic
and facilitating its sale and con-
cealment. Sentence was by Judge
Edward A. Tamm of the U. S.
District Court for the District Of
Columbia.
Two men were sentenced for
sex offenses.
One of them. Raymond Webb,
Al, colored. of the 400 block
OF First street S.W.. was given
from Is to As months by Judge
Burnita Shelton Matthews for
assault with intent to rape a
55-year-old colored woman in
her home.
The other man, Floyd F.
Beasley, "a, colored, of the 800
block of Twelfth street Sc. was
given from 16 months to 4 years
by Judge Alexander Holtzoff for
taking indecent liberties with
two young colored girls.
Joseph G. King, "a, of the
1900 block of G street Sc. was
given from l to 3 years by Judge
Tamm for robbing a man of $50.
AT the same time Judge Tamm
revoked probation given King in
1851 for housebreaking and Or
dered the defendant to serve a
formerly suspended sentence of
from Is months to 4 years for
that offense. Judge Tamm Or
dered the robbery sentence to
take effect after King has COM
pleted serving the time for
HOUSEKEEPING.

proved to be an excellent choice.
Through the untiring efforts Of
these two young men. a large
number of local and national
narcotic violators were brought
to justice.
Chief Murray, of the Metro
politan Police Department,
should be commended for the
establishment, within his de-
partment. of the Morals Divi-
sion under Inspector Clarence
Lutz. He and Inspector Lutz
should be further commended
for the outstanding job that this
squad, and more particularly, the
narcotic squad, has done during
the past nine months.
. The grand jury personally
extends its thanks to Chief
Murray for the cooperation he
has extended it in making
available to the Division of IN
veStigation members of his de-
partment.
The United States Marshal, w.
Bruce Matthews, is to be COM
menoed for the complete CO.
operation which he has extended
to the grand jury and to the
division of investigation.
The grand jury commends the
Federal Bureau of Narcotics for
the investigation it has been con.
Quoting against narcotic whole
salers since August of this year
and it makes a finding that the
Federal Narcotic Drug Disposal
Room now enjoys maximum
security.
The grand jury herein ex-
presses its appreciation to Mar
cotic Agent Marvin R. Fullmer
for the outstanding and coura-
geous service which he rendered
to it.
CONCLUSION.
Although extraordinary efforts
nave been made during this past
year to curb the narcotic traffic
in the District of Columbia, the
grand jury finds that. while
narcotic traffic has not increased
during 1852, there has been no
perceptible decrease. The situa-
tlon remains critical in that. as
has been pointed out many times
before, this narcotic traffic IS
flnanced primarily through
crimes such as shoplifting, house
breaking, robbery and grand lar
cency. The facilities now being
used to combat the narcotic traf-
nc are inadequate TO accomplish
more than containment of the
narcotic traffic in the District of
Columbia.
The members of the grand
jury believe that they have a
duty to apprise the citizens of
the District of Columbia of the
information contained in this
document, and all the members
OF this grand jury are in COM
plete accord with its contents.
