ROME, Jan. 81. President
Eisenhower's new Secretary of
State arrived in Europe today
and made clear within 10 min
utes that the United States
wants to know what Europe is
doing about unification for de-
tense.
Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles limited broadly again
along the lines of the warning
in his first United States radio
speech a week ago. He said then
that the United States might re-
shape its aid policy toward
Western Europe If the nations
refuse to unite. Today he put
it this way:
II am not here to preach or
talk but to listen and learn. so
that our Government may make
it's decisions wisely with regard
to the direction in which you.
yourselves. are going"
Although he said he came to
listen, he went to conferences

Gasperi and his government only

Two Republican congressional

Both told reporters they had
not changed their opinions on

lieves that under existing con-
ditions, wage, price and rent
controls should be lifted on April
80, the date when the authority
to impose such controls expires.

He emphasized that he favors
legislation to give the admins

arise.

Plan 10 Unleash
Chang Against
Reds Favored
Eisenhower Due to
Remove Fleet From
Formoso Guord Duty
By jack Bell
Associated Press Sfoff Writer

President Eisenhower appar-
emily is assured of strong sup
port in Congress for his expected
move opening the way for Chi
nese Nationalist forays from For
mosa against the Communist
China mainland.
Four authoritative officials told
this reporter that-barring a
ast-minute change in plans
the President will announce in
his State-of-the- Union message
Monday he is releasing the 7th
Fleet from its duty at Formosa.
This would wipe out a June
n, 1850, order by former Presi-
dent Truman under which the
fleet has neutralized Formosa
1t has stood by ready to defend
Nationalist-held Formosa from
attack and at the same time has
prevented Chang Kai-shek's
forces from carrying out air and
sea operations against the main
land
One effect of the expected
move would be to release
Chiang's Nationalist for COM
mando-type raids and possibly
air attacks against the mainland.
Could Disperse Red Strength.
This could draw Of Chinese
Communist troop strength from
Korea and is regarded as Gen.
Eisenhower's first step toward
the Administrations announced
goal of making it improbable
for the Reds to continue the
struggle there.
Secretary Of State Dulles, who
left with Mutual Security Di-
rector Stassen yesterday for a
Today inspection tour of West
ern Europe, put that goal INTO
words in his televised speech last
Tuesday:
THE enemy thinks he's get
ting an advantage by continue
ing the war. believe Gen. Eisen-
hover will find the ways and
means to make the enemy change
his mind in that respect so that
they too will want peace"
Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
Chief Of Staff, flew home today
after weeks visit in Korea and
Japan which included confer
ences with Gen. Mark Clark, the
top United Nations commander,
and Gen. James A. Van Fleet Of
the 9th Army. Asked about the
reported decision on Withdraw
ing the 7th Fleet from Formosa
duty, Gen. Collins said he had
no comment.
Gen. Eisenhower'S reported de-
cision to go ahead with the plan
apparently represents a new and
much tougher attitude toward
the Chinese Reds than any the
Truman administration was will
ing to risk.
Leahy Calls at White House.
The assumption in Congress
was that Americas allies had
been-or were being consulted
and their reaction will be studied
closely.
Fleet Admiral William D.
Leahy called on Gen. Eisen-
hover during the day, but told
reporters afterward the ques-
ton of Formosa and the with
drawal of the 7th Fleet had not
been brought up by the Presi-
dent.
The 77-year-old admiral. who
served as personal chief of staff
to both President Roosevelt and
President Truman, said he and
Gen Eisenhower "just gosSiped
about a lot of things when he
was on the staff with me-"
Admiral Leahy remains on &C
tive duty but has no assignment
at present.

Gen. Collins Back,
Shocked by Attacks
Operation Smack
Perfectly Sound Raid.
There'II Be Others
In Koreu, Chief Says
By John A. Giles

Gen. j. Lawton Collins re-
turned from Korea today to de-
clare that he was frankly
shocked" at the reaction to "Op-
Grafton Smack" in which Amer
lean troops attacked in a ma
newer for which time tables
were distributed to witnesses.
The Army Chief of Staff said
it was "a perfectly sound and
legitimate raid" He added there
would have to be many more
such maneuvers in the Korean
War.
Frankly I was shocked that
the report from a single observer
made such an impression on the
American people," he eclared.
Concern Over Lives.
Gen. Van Fleet (retiring
Commander of the 9th Army in
Korea) and the other command
ers in the field are more con-
cerned about the loss of a single
life than any one except the
parents of the men involved"
In the operation, several visit
ing generals and press repre-
sentatives were given what
amounted to a program of the
attack. This brought some &C
cusations on Capitol Hill that it
was staged solely for the visitors.
The congressional furore had
subsidized today.
Gen. Collins said that it was
customary to notify war cor
respondents in advance of an at
tack so that they could cover it
first hand. He recalled that he
briefed correspondents in Eu-
rope during World War II just
before his units broke the Sieg-
fried Line.
Doing His Best"
Gen. Collins was asked about
the time table which repeatedly
had a colored front cover. He
said that the public relations
officer who distributed the doc
ument was simply a young man
doing his best"
He said he understood that
the uproar over the operation
had been caused by one critical
report by a war correspondent.
Gen. Collins returned soon
after military leaders in Con-
gress said the operation was a
failure but was a proper mill
tary operation, not a show for
visiting generals.
AS a result, a two-day furore
over last Sundays combat raid
on little Spud Hill in North Ko-
rea has abated.
Nevertheless, Gen. Collins has
been summoned for q fuller ex-

feared to have lost their lives

The 2.600-ton ship belonging

OF bodies were seen floating in
the wild water.
The 662-ton Belfast steamer
Donaghadee, in a message re-

up 20 survivors and had sighted
two or three more clinging to a
mast IL miles off Portpatrick.

rushed to the scene.
Among the 1873 persons aboard
were many children.
Rescue ships meSSaged that
the weather was bitter cold and
visibility low.
High seas washed benumbed
survivors off RATS, and the rescue
ships themselves took a heavy
pounding in the northern neck
of the Irish Sea. Veteran sailors
said the seas were the worst in
their memory.
The Princess Victoria was on
her regular 36-mile run between
this Scottish port and Larne,
Northern Ireland, when she was
struck by the hurricane.
Master Sends Out sos.
She tipped over at 36-degree
list, and water poured into her
engineroom and washed over
one side of her deck. Her
master, James Ferguson of
Stranraer, sent out an SOS and
gave orders to abandon ship.
The sharp list made it next to
impossible to float liferafts, how
ever.
After that no more messages
were received from the Princess
Victoria.
Among the passengers were
Maj. j. M. Sinclair, Northern
Ireland's Finance Minister; Sir
Walter Smiles, an Ulster union
list member of Parliament, and
Sir Walter Scott, permanent Sec
rotary to the Northern Ireland
Finance Ministry.
Gusts which whipped over
Scotland at 113 miles an hour
tipped the little steamer over at
a 35-degree list, radio messages
said, and Capt. James Ferguson
sent out an SOS.
He then ordered the 1913 pas

don ship in the hurricane. One
whole side of the 5-year-old
vessel was awash, however, and
1t was evident that her lifeboats
could be launched only with the
greatest difficulty.
Tug Near Scene.
Mrs. jamie Davidson, who OPP
crates a marine radio listening
post at nearby Campbeltown for
newspapers, said intercepted
messages indicated the ship was
sunk. The Admiralty in London
intercepted similar messages.
One rescue craft at the scene

Several other rescue ships, in
