Eisenhower Seems
Sure Of House 0kay
On Reorganization
By Robert K. Welsh

House approval of govern
mental reorganization authority
along lines sought by President
Eisenhower seemed assured to-
day. but only after an intended
drive by some Republicans to
limit presidential power.
An earlier mixup - In which
Democrats declared they wanted
to help Gen. Eisenhower while
Republicans favored giving him
less leeway than former Presi-
dent Truman had in reorganiz-
ing Federal agencies seemed to
have been Strengthened out.
Two hours of debate were
scheduled for today on. a res
olution to extend the reorgani-
zation authority for two years.
It is. expected to be passed in a
form permitting any reorganiza-
ton plan to go into effect un-
less opposed by a majority Of
the entire House or Senate mem
bership. The present law would
expire March 81.
Hoffman Proposes Curb.
But Representative Hoffman,
Republican. of Michigan. chair
man Of the House Government
Operations Committee, said he
will urge the House to approve
an amendment that would allow
a presidential proposal to be
killed by a simple majority of
members actually voting on it
in the House or Senate.
The bill was reported out that
way by the committee. with Is
Republican members favoring
the tighter restriction and IA
Democrats demanding that
President Eisenhower have the
same reorganization power as
President Truman had.
G. o. P. huddles over the
week end indicated there had
been at least a misunderstand-
ing between the White House
and Congress. The President,
in his message to Congress yes
terday, set the matter straight
by recommending that the pres
ent reorganization act be con-
tinued for 21a years.
Against DeIegating Power.
II am taking the same posi-
ton I have held since 1885," Mr..
Hoffman said before the start of
debate today. 1.-THE Congress
should not delegate its legislative
power to the President. I still
believe Congress should retain
the right to vote down the bills
by a simple majority VOTE"
Mr.. Hoffman outlined his views
in more detailed fashion yester-
day in his committees report on
the extension bill and in a per-
sonal appearance before the
House Rules Committee which
cleared the measure for House
debate.

By the Associated Press

SpeedYN approval of President
EisenhoWer'S plan to repudiate
any secret agreements with the
Kremlin was forecast today in
a Congress applauding his deci-
sion to free Formosa National
lists for raids on Red China.
Senator Taft of Ohio, the Re-
publican leader. said he sees no
reason why Congress can't act
quickly to pass a resolution pro-
posed by Gen. Eisenhower in
his state-of the Union message
yesterday.
The President said the resolu-
tion should make it clear that
"thiS Government recognizes no
kind of commitment contained
in secret understandings of the
past with foreign governments
which permit "enSlavement" of
any peoples.
Senator Taft said he is whole
heartedly for the Eisenhower
plan.
Probably Referred to Yalta.
Gen. Eisenhower didn't say
what agreements he had in mind,
but the general assumption in
Congress was that he may have
been speaking of Yalta, where
the United States and Britain
made concessions to Russia to
persuade her to enter the Pacific
war. The Truman State De-
partment said the Yalta pact has
been fully public since 1947, two
years after its signing.
Representative Kersten. Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin promptly
drew up a resolution he said was
designed to nullify the Yalta
agreement. Mr.. Kersten said in
a statement the Yalta agree
ment gave Stain a seemingly
legal Stranglehold on his con-
quests" and violated the rights
Of Poland and China.
BY setting it aside, Mr.. Kersten
claimed, the United States would
"Seize the initiative from the
Communists and win the cold
war"
Some Democrats said they
didn't see how the action the
President proposed would alter
the facts of Soviet conquests
based on military power.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia, often the voice of the
majority Of Southern Democrats
in the Senate, said such q reso-
luton would have tremendous
propaganda value in the world"
and that he would support it.
He added Wrily:
But 7 don't believe the Rus
SLAMS will move out Of Port
Arthur the day we pass it."
Gen. Eisenhower's proposal
was regarded in Congress as q
first move toward carrying out
his presidential campaign prom
Use that the United States will
move in ways short of war to
bring about the liberation Of
captive peoples in RusSia'S
satellites.
Secretary Of Statae Dulles, re-
ported to have laid down the
genesis of the plan, is expected
to discuss the resolution with
of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee on his re-
turn this week end from q tour
Of Western European capitals.
While the congressional reac-
tion to the repudiation proposal
was almost universally favorable,
some Democrats voiced disSents
in the chorus of COP approval
for Gen. Eisenhower's order un-
freezing the FormoSa Nationlists
for any raids they may be able
to make on the mainland of Red
China.
Gen. Eisenhower told the
cheering lawmakers yesterday he
was issuing instructions that the
7th Fleet mo longer be employed

Congress Expected to Speed
Republication of Secret Pucts

to shield Communist China" by
carrying out ex-President Tru-
mans 1850 order for the feet to
prevent any military excursions
from FormoSa.
Gen. Eisenhower said nothing
about the companion part Of the
order, which directed the feet
to guard Formosa against Red
attack. Thus. presumably it will
stand. At the time Mr.. Tru-
man issued the order, just after
the start of the Korean war,
it was designed to neutralize
Formosa and keep the Red Chi
nese out Of the Korean fight
ing.
Permit me to make crystal
clear this order implies no ag-
gressive intent on our part, Z"
Gen Eisenhower said. But we
certainly have no obligation to
protect a nation fighting us in
Korea"
Despite this, Senator Green,
Democrat. of Rhode Island, a
Foreign Relations Committee
member, said he doesn't know
where it would land us and the
President doesn't tell us where
it leads"
1T sounds like MacArthur's
willingness to go it alone" SEN
ator Green declared, referring to
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
Rayburn Is Skeptical.
House Minority Leader Ray
burn indicated he didn't think
Chang Kai-shek's Nationalists
would be able to do much dam
age to the Communist mainland.
"The President seemed to in
dicate that our fleet has been
protecting Communist China, ~
he said. "This is certainly .
news to me-"
But Senator George, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia, another For
eign Relations committeeman
applauded the fleet order as a
move which not only may divert
Chinese Communist troops from
Korea but may prevent the Reds
from sending troops to Indo-
China because they will need
men to guard their own coasts
If something isn't done to
divert their troops from Indo-
China, the French may throw
Indo-China into the laps of the
world and that means our laps,
Senator George said.
Senator Morse, independent,
of Oregon, and some Democrats
said they feared the feet order
might mean extension of the
Korean war.
Senators Hill and Sparkman,
Alabama Democrats, expressed
this view and wondered if Chang
might not now believe the United
States was going to back him
up in any venture he undertakes.
Kefauver Is Dubious.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat,
Of Tennessee said he hopes the
decision doesn't mean 1--WE are
going to back up landings by the
Chinese NationaliStS."
But Senator Carlson. Republi-
can, of Kansas said he believes
the fleet order may put this
country in a position where we
can call the shots in the Korean
war"
Gen. Eisenhower said nothing
about what role the 7th Fleet
would play If Formosa is at
tackled. Senators George and
Taft said they have no fears this
country would let Formosa fall
to the enemy.
But Senator Johnson of Texas,
the minority leader, said the
country ought to be told what
further moves may logically flow
from the fleet order.
Other than asking for infor-
nation. Congress can't do any,
thing effective about the Presi-
dents order, just as it couldn't
do anything about former Presi-
dent Truman's edict setting up
the naval freeze on FormoSa.

BELLEVUE GAME

After winning its opening game
at Bucyrus Friday night, the Red
skins returned to their home floor
the following evening and took a
56-32 shellacking from the Belle
vue Redmen.
The game was nip and tuck in
the first half with Bellevue lead
ing at the end of that time 24-21.
Bellevue threw up a zone defense
against Port Clinton in the first
half which baffled Port Clinton
only momentarily. Port Clinton
was forced to take its shots from
out front, but this did not halt
the Redskins as AL Jensen started
to get hot on his long shots and
he Swished in one shot after an
other in the second quarter.
In the second half Bellevue
changed to a man-to-man defense.
What ever Bellevue decided in
the locker room at halftime, it
was good enough to beat P. C. In
the entire second half Port Clin-
ton scored only II points. Besides
holding P. C. down to II points,
the Redmen themselves came up
with 80 points. Bellevue's height
didn't seem to bother P. C. too
much in the first half, but in the
second half it proved too much.
Bellevue had one man who was

were trounced "a to 80 by visiting
Clay Eagles Tuesday evening.
Port Clinton's Redskins opened
their 1953-54 basketball season at
Bucyrus Friday night as they
nosed out the hosts, 5O-46.
1t was the brilliant work of the
team as whole that spelled vic
tory for the Redskins, and no one
man can be singled out as giving
great performance for they all
were great. The excellent re-
bounding of Bob Wood, AL Jensen.
Dick Dietrich, the speed and
alertness of diminutive guards
Bob Twarek and Clyde Enderle,
and the accuracy with which all
the boys were shooting made pos
sible the victory for the Redskins.
From the opening whistle to the
final buzzer, the game was close
all the way, and the two teams
were never separated by more
than seven points. Bucyrus took
the opening lead as Harold Weith-
man dumped in foul shot, but P
c. tied it up quickly as Jim Pei
tier also dumped foul shot in.
Bucyrus again took the lead on
two field goals, but Port Clinton
came back within two points as
AL Jensen dumped in a long set
shot from the side with the dead
ly accuracy with which he was
shooting all night. Port Clinton
never held the lead in the first
half, but was never behind more
than four points. The score at the
end of the quarter was 1913, and
the score at the end of the half
was 22-20 with Bucyrus leading
both times
Port Clinton might have walked
away from BucyruS in the third
quarter had it not been for a lad
by the name of Sunny Butterman,
who ended up the evening as top
scorer for both teams with 10
points. He kept Bucyrus in the
game throughout the third quar-
ter and the score at the end of
this period was 1884 with Buoy
rus still leading.
In the beginning of the final
quarter Bob Wood, who was high
scorer for the Redskins with 19
points, dumped in a foul shot and
later pushed in a Jump shot from
under the basket, and Port Clinton
took the lead and was never be-
hind from that point on. The clos
est BucyruS came in the final pc
riod was 1916 with less than a
minute left to play, but Bob Twa-
rex intercepted a pass, and was
fouled coming down the floor
which permitted him to take two
foul shots. He calmly sank both
of them and seconds later the fl
nal buzzer sounded, and Port Gin
ton had chalked up its first bas,
ketball win of the season.
In the reserve game the Junior
Reds were defeated 48-36. Jerry
Weithman, a brother to Harold
Weithman who played varsity, was
high scorer for Bucyrus with 26
points. Louie Laffey was high

6'4" and two others who were
6'2", and they completely con-
trolled the rebounds in the second
half. In addition to their height,
Bellevue completely outran the
Redskins in the second half, and
their fast break made possible
many puppy dog shots. jim Stray
err, the 6'4" lad, was high scorer
for Bellevue with Ia points. AL
Jensen and Bob Wood were tied
for top honors for the Redskins
with 10 points apiece.
In the preliminary game the
Redskins suffered their second
loss as they were trounced 61-39.
Dave Beckman was high scorer for
Bellevue with II points and Ted
Swartz was second high with Is
points Louie Laffey again drew
top honors for P. C. with 16
