Aliens

Another Eisenhower campaign
pledge was to seek modification of
the McCarran- Walter immigration
Act. Last week the President paid
of, with 10-point request to Con-
gress to amend the law.
Since it was passed over Presi-
dent Truman's veto last June, the
McCarran-W Walter Act has been
subject to much criticism. Few
critics or supporters, for that
matter have read the complex
302-page law. But its general air
of restriction and the snafus that
have accompanied its administra-
ton have made the law a prime
target both here and abroad.
President Eisenhower named 10
sections Of the bill which he said
operate with unwarranted harsh
ness" He did not suggest how
they should be modified. But the
provisions he pointed to were those
which:
Gave American consulS abroad
the task of predicting what kind
of a citizen an individual immi-
grant would make;
Gave immigration officials the
right TO question without warrant
persons thought to be aliens;
Withheld some rights from nat
uralized citizens which native
born citizens enjoy;
Required restriction on shore
visits by alien seamen;
Mortgaged for up to 100 years
in the future one-half the immi-
grafton quotas Of some countries;
Set up various administrative
standards without clearly defining
them.
The Presidents request was sent
to Senator Watkins, chairman Of
the judiciary subcommittee han

Laos War

French and native troops dug
into hastily erected defenseS at
Luang Prabang, the royal capital
Of Laos, as they waited last week
for the Communist attack.
All week the Vietminh Reds
drove south and west toward the
royal capital-rapidly at first, but
more slowly as the initial Lao de-
fense made itself felt. But by
weeks end the key battle of the
new Laotian war was expected at
any time.
French defenders thought the
royal and sacred city could be
saved.
Debote in Poris
While the latest Red aggression
scored early victories, the French
cabinet, which handles all foreign
relations for the Kingdom of Laos,
was debating whether to appeal to
the United Nations for aid. Al
though the invasion was launched
in the guiSe of a liberation move
ment, it clearly was an action SIM
liar to that in Korea. And France
is Sorely in need of Help in her
two-way fight against Communism
in Indo- China.
But If the Lao question were
thrown into the U. N. the whole
question of French colonial policy
might also be taken up. France
has tried successfully for some
time to keep her colonial problems
from becoming international
ized." So France postponed a de-
cision until next Friday.
The United States announced
last week it would try to supply
some of the needed aid to Laos.
Secretary Dulles said arms con-
signed to Europe would be diverted
to do-China. How much aid
could be sent or whether it would
arrive in time were unanswered
questions.
If 1t turned out to be another
case of too little and Too late, the
Communists would have won an
excellent jumping-off place for an
invasion of Thailand and Burma.

Free World

CECRETARY OF STATE Dulles
- was occupied last week with
Europe's armed defense. He and
Mutual Security Director Harold E.
StaSSen spent two days on Capitol
Hill explaining the action taken
two weeks ago at the Paris meet
ing Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Mr.. Dulles also made
a radio-television report to the
Nation on NATO.
The decisions at Paris, they re-
ported, would lead to 80 per cent
increase in the allied strength.
Part of this increase would come
from added planes and troops, but
much would come from increased
quality of equipment and better
training. There would be greater
emphasis, they indicated, on
atomic weapons.
More for Less
Net result, Mr.. Dulles reported,
would be more defense for less
money.
1t was obvious, however, that
the previously planned build-up
had been slowed down to ease the
burden on the economies of the
IA, NATO nations. The administra-
ton believes that a combination
of sturdier domestic economies
plus more effective, compact
armed force will do a better job
over the long haul.
But some observers questioned
whether the new European defense
plans might not be a let-down
rather than a tightening-up. AS
standards for effective defense are
only an educated guess at best, the
def1nitive word on the new NATO
philosophy could be handed down
only after Europe has been either
successfully or unSucceSsfully de-
Tended.

The 100 Days

TN THE FIRST 100 days of his
L administration, Franklin D.
Roosevelt closed the banks, took
the Nation of the international
gold standard and pushed through
Congress bills to provide a farm
relief program, set up the Civilian
Conservation Corps, start a Ma
ton wide unemployment relief

such as the Loyalty Review Board,
will exist to act as a court of ap-
peals. The final decision in each
case will rest with the head of
the department or agency in which
the suspected person was employed.
0 More specific criteria will be set
up to determine If a persons &C
tions are a danger to the Govern
ment.
These are the actions which will
label a person a security risk:
Unreliable behavior, criminal or
immoral acts, mental disorder,
vulnerability to outside pressure,
commission of any act of sabotage,
treason or espionage; close asso-
citation with a Subversive person,
advocacy of use of force or violence
to overthrow the Government,
membership in SubverSive organ
ization, disclosure of secret in
formation, loyalty to some govern
ment other than that of the United
States.
The Eisenhower program will
apply to all departments, not Just
sensitive" ones.
The new security order was re-
ceived with approval by the three
principal Communist hunters on
Capitol Hill-Senators Mccarthy
and Jenner and Representative
Velde. Most other reaction added
up to, Lets give it a trial" But
some observers criticized the lack
of provision for outside appeal.
When the order goes into effect
May 27, all Government employees
will face investigation, or, in the
case of about $4,000 persons, re-
investigation. Every one will get
name check. That is, all personnel
files will be checked for derogatory
information. II such information
is found, the FBI will make a full
field investigation. All persons in
sensitive positions will get the full
treatment.

Korea
THE TRUCE TALKS at Pan

THE TRUCE TALKS at Pam
L munjom, a continuation Of
the negotiations which started at
Kaesong almost % months ago,
were at a standstill again last
week. The Communists and the
United Nations had presented their
initial proposals, and neither had
given way on an important point.
This is what the Reds proposed:
Q All prisoners who "insist on
repatriation" should be returned
Continued on Page A-31.)
Evening star., 1953-05-03

. Foreign aid. $1.8 billion from
the $7.6-billion Truman request.
. Atomic energy. $3.50 million out
of Mr.. Truman's 81 billion.
. other agencies. About $1.2 bill
lion from the remaining $21.7
billion.
Whether by coincidence or by
design, the largest cuts come close
to being "across- -the-board" re-
ductions. For instance, roughly
five dollars out of every eight in
the Truman appropriations re-
quests were for defense. And
roughly five dollars out of every
eight Gen. Eisenhower hopes to
save will come out of defense
requests.
The Truman estimate of re-
ceipts-which apparently is the
same one Gen. Eisenhower is
thinking about-contemplated two
changes in the tax structure now
in existence. First, the excess
profits tax on corporate incomes
is scheduled to die a natural death
on June 30. Second, the individual
income tax rates are to be reduced
about 10 per cent next January /.
Any change in the tax rates be-
yond these would throw the
budget even more sadly out of
balance.
Tox Rot Race
Gen. Eisenhower has made it
clear time and again that he does
not want further tax cuts until
receipts and expenditures get back
into phase. But some Congress
men, spearheaded by Republican
Representative Reed of New York,
are equally outspoken in their de-
mandS for tax relief now. Mr..
Reed wants the individual tax cuts
to start simultaneously with the
death of excess profits on June 80.
There is the possibility that any
encouragement he gets in the
form of a diminished deficit will
start a stampede to the Reed
band wagon.
John Taber, another economy
minded New York Republican in
the House, has his eye on foreign
aid. The President is reported
planning to cut Mr.. Truman's re-
quest by $1.8 billion. Mr.. Taber
wants to slash it exactly twice that
much.
What will happen to the Eisen-
hover budget when it gets to the
Hill depends in large measure on
how sternly and effectively the
President will be able to deal with
those who want to go beyond his
idea of what the Nations correct
posture should be.

program, revise the Nations bank
ing laws, set up the National In
dustrial Recovery Administration,
provide for a Tennessee Valley
Authority and furnish home own
ers' loans.
Those and other acts added up
to a revolution that changed the
nature of government in the
United States.
The 100 days also changed the
lives of the small group of re-
porters then covering Washington.
Suddenly, from leisurely connois-
Seurs of national politics, the re-
porters were changed into serious
students of economics, social work
and the science of government.
They never quite got over the
shock. They have been talking
and writing about The Hundred
Days ever since. And they have
been looking forward to the next
totally new administration so that
they could write more Hundred
Days" stories.
After 20 years of Roosevelt and
Truman, the new administration
finally arrived. The reporters
could hardly wait for April 20, the
Tooth day of the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration.
But there was little enthusiasm
to be found in last weeks many
100 Days stories. Obviously there
was no real reason for comparing
the Roosevelt 100 days, when the
Nation was near economic collapse
but completely unconcerned with
foreign relations, with the Eisen-
hover 100 days, when the Nation
is sound economically but engaged
in delicate, long-range maneuvers
in foreign policy.
Democrats Sound OFF
Persons who got the most out Of
The 100 Days were politicking
Democrats. Senator Lehman of
New York seized on the occasion
to accuse the Republicans of pro-
viding little but 100 days of "creep-
ing McCarthyism.", Senator Jack
son of Washington added charges
of a "give-away" of national re-
sources.
Observers took the Democratic
broadsides to be a tip-off on their
campaign tactics for the 1854 con-
gresSional elections.
Meanwhile the reporters settled
back to wait for a more significant
time to evaluate the new admin
iStration.
Evening star., 1953-05-03

Secretary Roger Kyes spoke to the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce. A businessman addressing
businessmen, he hit hard at "the
military" and called for sound
management in the Pentagon.
Plan No. 6, according to President
Eisenhower's message to Congress
last Thursday, will provide that
sound management-and will re-
move much of "the military's" in
dependent authority.
Essentials Of Plon
The essentials of Plan No. 6 are
these:
. Munitions Board, Research and
Development Board, Defense Sup
ply Management Agency and Of
flee of the Director of Installations
are abolished, and theft functions
transferred to the Secretary Of
Defense.
. Selection of the Joint Chiefs of
Stairs right-hand man, Director of
the Joint Staff, is made subject to
the Secretary's approval.
Q Six new assistant secretaryships
OF defense, plus the post Of gen.
eral counsel, are created.
The President made no overall
estimate of how much Plan No. 6
would save in terms of manpower
or money. But he almost certainly
regards it as necessity in helping
to save the estimated S. billion
he hopes to lop off Pentagon ap-
preparations in the coming fiscal
year.
And he did give a hint of man
power savings when he pointed
out that "a staff reduction of
approximately 500 persons will be
effected" in the Office of the Sec
retary of Defense. On March 81,
the OSD rolls contained 2,106 full
time civilians, 926 military and Ill
civilian consultants-a total of
3,146 employees, of whom 3,O35 were
full-timers.
Abandonment Of ShibboIeths
Taken by itself, Plan No. 6 might
or might not mean much. There
have been other reorganizations
at the Pentagon, and most OBJ
servers agree the place still is not
unified. The significance Of Plan
No. 6 is that it is another step in
the abandonment of most If not
all the Democratic shibboleths
about defense.
This abandonment has come
about gradually in the last 100
days. There was, for example, the
revelation that Secretary of De-
tense Wilson is planning to resur-
vey the industrial mobilization
base. There was the clear indica-
tion that 1854 as a crucial year for
the West has lost its meaning.
There was the planned cut-back
of air power from 143 wings to q
strength variously estimated at
104, los, or 110 wings. There was
less talk generally about paper
divisions and cardboard WINGS" as
the President put 1t last week.
In the context of these other
moves, Plan No. 6 emerged as q
major effort by the administration
to get the Pentagon to assume "a
true posture of defense"

ding immigration matters. Sen
ator Watkins, who voted for the
act, said he doubted If his subcom-
mittee would recommend revision
Of the law this year or next. He
said the law had been operating
much better than expected"
Passed by heavy bipartisan ma
jorities in both houses, the act has
many friends in Congress. 1t
looked like rough going for the
immigration plank in the Eisen-
hover platform. .... ...
