For Western Defense
By Jack Bell
Assoeiotod Press Stoff Writer

President Eisenhower evident
'ly plans to test congressional
reaction to his long-range pro-
gram for stabilizing Western
Europe's defenses at q White
House session Thursday.
Disclosing that Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services Com
mittee chairmen will sit in on
the session with other House and
Senate leaders. Senator Taft.
Republican, Of Ohio said he ex-
poets the President to "give the
trend Of his thinking" to the
lawmakers.
LAS ] understand it, it will be
a discussion Of the military pro-
gram and its relation to the
budget" Senator Taft said in
an interview. II don't think it
will deal with specific figures,
but more with trends Of think.
ing"
The Ohioan said so far as he
knows the, administration has
come to no conclusion on the
amount Of foreign military aid to
be requested Of Congress.
Dulles Indicates Shift.
Secretary Of State Dulles has
indicated a shift of foreign aid
emphasis from Europe toward
the Far East. particularly Indo-
China. if efforts to get an agree
ment with the Communists on
that trouble spot do not work out.
The Secretary told q news con-
ference yesterday he wants to
negotiate with the Reds as soon
as possible on the unifcation OF
Korea and other problems in
Asia. but not before q Korean
truce is reached.
he ChuS rejected, in effect, q
suggestion by Senator Taft that
the administration use every
effort" to get agreement on all
Asian issues before it makes any
truce in Korea.
Taft Retains View.
Senator Taft said he hadn't
changed his view that it would
be more difncult to settle Asia S
problems after-rather than be-
fore-the fighting is brought to
an end in Korea: But he said
"it is up to the Secretary Of
State to proceed as he sees fit. /"
Senator Gillette, Democrat of
Iowa. another member Of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
said on an MBS radio program
last night that only one step can
be taken at q time, and that any
attempt at a package settlement
would jeopardize efforts to OBJ
tain o truce in Korea.
Asked about Senator Taft's
plan. Senator Gillette said: "At
the present time I think it can
not be done"

Democrats Attack
Appropriations Bill
In House Debate
Dy Robert K. Walsh

The first appropriation bill to
reach the House floor at this
session came in for heavy at
tack today by Democrats who
denounced 1t as "a help to the
big fellow and a kick, at the little
fellow"
Representative Yates, Demo-
crat, Of Illinois. charged that a
provision tohalt spending for
new Government public housing
projects during the coming fiscal
year was, aimed at killing all
such housing programs.
Assails Mortgage Plan.
He also declared that q pro-
posal for sale Of 81 billion in
Federal National Mortgage AS
sociation mortgages to private
investors would be>a bankers
windfall." He contended that
only big banks would be in a po-
sition to buy such mortgages and
would be able to do so at a
discount.
Representative Chenoweth, Re-
publican. Of Colorado defended
these and other provisions in the
$45l million supply measure for
% independent Offices. He said
the bill. as reported out by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, not only contained actual
cuts OF 81 per cent under orig
inal estimates. but also would
give Congress an opportunity to
vote directly on some legislative
policies Of the former Democratic
administration.
That was his answer to a COM
plant by Mr.. Yates that the ap-
preparation bill contained nu-
merous legislative proposals
which should have been pre-
Sented, If at all, in a separate
bill after consideration by other
House committees.
G. o. p. Split IrOned Out.
AS the debate started, there
was evidence of a Republican
split on the proposed ban on
further public housing starts
after July l. Earlier today, how
ever. Republican leaders indi-
Gated that they had succeeded in
ironing out complaints by several
G. o. p. members against various
other provisions, particularly a
proposal to eliminate the Gov
ernment's payment to the Civil
Service Retirement Fund for the
next fiscal year. The compro-
mise, 1t was learned. would make
the provisions discretionary
rather than mandatory.
House G. o. P. leaders doubted
the Senate would agree to kill
all new spending for the Gov
ernment's public housing pro-
gram.
The Eisenhower administration
has asked funds for $4,000 new
units. Several prominent House
Republicans said they believe a
Senate House compromise might
provide for about $4,000.

Economic Stability for Allies
Urged by Dulles on Departure
! Less Aid for Europe
Seen as US. Officials
Fly to NATo ToIks
By Gornett D. Homer

Secretary OF State Dulles
called for common sense" long
range Western defense planning
to maintain economic stability
along with military strength as
he left today for q North Allan
tic Treaty Organization council
meeting in Paris.
Mr.. Dulles. Secretary Of the
Treasury Humphrey and Mutual
Security Director Stassen took
OF from National Airport ct
11:49 am. in a Military Air
Transport Service plane for
Paris. They will be joined there
by Secretary Of Defense Wilson
for the NATO council meeting
opening Thursday.
In a departure statement, Mr..
Dulles said the representatives
of the IA allied countries will
discuss the peace offensive"
launched by President Eisen-
hover last week as well as de-
Tense plans.
To Weigh Soviet Gestures.
Recent gestures by Soviet Rus
sia, which Mr.. Dulles has said
amount to a peace defensive, I"
will be considered at the Paris
meeting. he added.
Nothing that has happened
so far justifies any relaxation of
effort or any weakening Of NATO
defenses." the Secretary de-
clared. Instead, there is good
reason to believe that the grow
ing strength Of the free world
may influence the Soviet Union
decisively in the direction of
peace.
MIR. Dulles said he believes
the council will agree on plans
providing for a substantial in
crease in NATo's defensive
strength"
A fresh" approach to be
urged by the American delega-
ton is expected to result in a
substantial reduction in Amer
lean aid. however. =
Mr.. Dulles stressed that the
aim will be to develop "long
range plans which will enable
us to deter military attacks from
without while maintaining our
inner economic and political
strength"
He added:
THE common-Sense course for
nations of the Atlantic commu-
nifty is to move forward steadily
toward greater strength and
unity. maintaining always an
appropriate balance between our
military defenses and the basic
economic stability upon which
both our defenses and our entire
social order depend"
Administration Ideas.
The Eisenhower administra- =
tion'S fresh approach" to the
problem of building up Western
Europe defenses against the
threat of Soviet aggression is
based on these ideas:
!. Attempts to prepare for an
early anticipated period of max
imum danger from the Soviet
have strained the economies of
the NATO allies while the threat
has not passed.
2. Development of defense pro-
grams that can be sustained in
definitely without undermining
the Vests inner economic
strength, actually will put the
allies in stronger position.

Collins Says Ridgway
Blocked Sea-borne
Assault 7 Years Ago

Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
Chief of Staff. has told Senate
investigators that Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway rejected plan for
an allied sea-borne strike against
Communists in Korea two years
ago without referring the mat
ter to the Joint Chiefs Of Staff.
Gen. Collins thus confirmed
earlier testimony by Gen. James
A. Van Fleet. who said he had
been stopped by higher authority.
Gen. Van Fleet proposed the
strike as a means of destroying
the Chinese Communist armies.
A member Of the Senate
Armed Services subcommittee
studying Gen. Van Fleets
charges of ammunition short
ages in Korea, told reporters:
collins said the Van Fleet
recommendation never reached
the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a
decision. He said Ridgeway
turned it down because he felt
it was too much of a gamble,
And. too, there was a lot Of talk
about a truce at the time which
probably had an effect.
Temporary Halt in Inquiry.
This development came yes
terday after the subcommittee
headed by Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican, of
Maine, called a temporary halt in
its inquiry.
Senator Smith said her COM
mittee would analyze and digest
testimony already given before
deciding anything about further
hearings. There were indications
the group might write its re-
port without further testimony.
Gen. Van Fleet, who retired
recently as 9th Army command
er in Korea, has told the sub
committee that he was crying
to turn me loose" for the sea-
borne assault. When he gave
this testimony, Gen. Ridgeway
said in Paris he had absolute
ly no comment" In June, 1851,
when the assault was proposed,
Gen. Ridgway was Far Eastern
commander.
Marshall Confirms Order.
Last night Gen. George c.
Marshall confirmed testimony
given the subcommittee last
week that he had signed a con-
troversial directive.
This directive, issued Septem-
ber 81. 1850, about three months
after the Korean fighting began,
instructed the armed services to
assume for budgetary purposes"
that the war would be ended by
June 80, 1851. Gen. Marshall
had taken office as Secretary of
Defense six days earlier.
The directive has been criti-
cized as Showdown order"
BY telephone from his home in
Pinehurst, N. c., Gen. Marshall
said he had signed the directive
at the recommendation of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff and that
this recommendation was signed
by Gen. Omar N. Bradley. Gen.
Marshall added:
ALSO on September Is, 1850,
I placed to the credit of the
Army about $1,176,000 900 for
immediate use I obtained
this money from the foreign
military assistance funds already
appropriated, with the agree
ment of the Secretary of State
who allocated those funds.
"Of this sum, $663 million was
intended for new ammunition
and $48 million for renovating of
reserve stocks"
Mrs. Smith and Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, both said
the subcommittee probably will
seek further advice on the best
way to overhaul the armed serv-
ices business and management
methods.
