BY The Assoeiassd Prsss

BONN. Germany, Feb. ST.
United States Secretary Of State
John Foster Dulles today called
upon Continental Europe to put
away its "old dangerous rival
ries", and join quickly in armed
union to provide the indiSpen-
sible cornerstone Of q strong At
lantic community"
Mr. Dulles and Mutual Secur-
ity Director Harold e. StaSSen
flew here from London, where
they repeatedly left behind q
warning to British leaders that
concrete progress must be made
within rs days toward creating q
European defense army includ-
Ing German troops or America

After a brief preliminary meet
ing with Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer, they swung into a series
of conferences with German and
Allied leaders which will virtually
I'LL their 21-hour stay here.
Praises Adenauer's Vision.
Mr.. Dulles read a brief formal
statement to the press after his
first chat with Mr.. Adenauer.
He praised the 77-year-old
Chancellor as lone of the great
postwar statesmen who has the
vision to move forward and re-
alize the possibilities of the fu-
ture."
Mr.. Dulles said he and Mr..
Stassen were making this fact
finding tour of the six nations
which have signed the treaty to
create a European defense army
because 1--WE believe these coun-
tries stand on the threshold of
a great evolutionary change
which will supplant national ri
valrieS with unity"
In that way, and only in that
way" Mr.. Dulles added. "can the
nations of Europe put aside their
rivalrieS which have been so
dangerous in the past.
Cornerstone Of Defense.
''In that way Europe can pro-
vide the indispensable cornerstone
of a strong Atlantic community
and set up attractions which can
peacefully unite Germany"

Mr.. Dulles repeatedly warned

Churchill and Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden-as well as Ital-
ian and French government
chiefs-would put the deadline

fed. was paid for by $974.4S in

williams Spurs Probe.
Senator Williams suggestion
that the Senate look deeper
into the matter was fol-
lowed up by several of his col
leagues. Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan announced
that Attorney General Brownell
would be asked to determine
whether loopholes in the law need
plugging.
The practice, Senator Williams
explained. has been for an agency
to discharge an ermploye, pay
him for unused annual leave and
then rehire him at the same job
the next day. This has been
possible, he said, because Gov
ernment employees are paid for
all unused annual leave they
accumulate up to 80 days. But
they cannot collect such pay
until they leave their jobs"
The 40 names listed by Sena-
tor Williams from the Office of
Rent Sterilization included per-
sons whose salaries ranged from
about $500 to $10,750 in 1850.
The lump sum payments they
received ranged from $538 to
$3,654. Most of them were over
$1,000.
Only That Agency.
Senator Williams informed the
Senate that the only direct evi-
dence he had was in connection
with that agency.
'"The highly questionable pro-
cedure," he said. apparently
has been followed in the past by
some of the agencies whereby
annual leave payments involv-
ing hundreds of thousands if not
millions of dollars have been paid
to Government employees while
these employees were actually
! drawing their regular salaries,
Called Raid on Treasury.
1.-THE manner in which this
indirect raid on the Federal
Treasury operates is that the
agency will give the employe a
30-day notice that he is to, be
separated from the service. Inn
mediately upon the date Of sep
aration, the enploye is paid in
lump sum for all accumulated
annual leave up to 80 days. The
following day the same employe
is rehired for the same job and
placed back on the regular pay
roll where he works for 80 days
as a temporary employe. At the
end of the 30-day period he Is
reinstated as q permanent em-
ploye and automatically again
begins to accumulate annual
leave all over again.
This mas the net effect during
the period involved Of those en-
ployes not only being paid dou-
ble cor the. work but also ac-
cumulatsl1g annual leave for the
next year."

Constontine Brown:
Europe Sees q Period Of Peace
congressman Feel Even More Strongly That MSA Funds
Can Be Cut Well Below What the Administration Seeks

Republican and Democratic
members Of. the Senate and
House feel more strongly now
than even a few weeks ago
that Mutual Security Agency
appropriations can be cut well
below the $5.4 billion asked by
the administration.
Although all official spokes-
men for the Government insist
that the NATO preparations
are progressing satisfactorily
and the amount sought for
the 1854 fiscal year represents
the absolute minimum with
out which the entire defense
system in Western Europe
might collapse, special investi-
cations have shown that much
OF the money appropriated for
France, Italy and other West
ern European countries has
been diverted to other than
strictly military objectives.
But leaving these matters
aside, all reports from COM
petent and unbiased observers
show that since the beginning
Of the Red peace offensive, our
principal Western European
allies have become more con-
vinced than ever that the
threat of Soviet aggression has
definitely passed.
Europe sees ahead of it a
long period Of peace regardless
of whether a Big Four confer
ence can be held or not. Some
political leaders in that area
admit that a conflict between
America and the USSR or
China may still be in the
cards, principally they say, be-
cause Of the "hysterical" frame
of mind of the American peo-
pie toward communism.
But, they add quickly, fur
ther military preparations
would only serve to accentu-
ate that conflict since the
NATO agreements give Amer
lea the feeling that Western
Europe is compelled by treaty
to stand by and be subservient
to the United States.
The many statements from
political leaders in the Senate
and executive branch of the
Government that appropria-
tions for military preparations
in Europe must not be cut be-
