Senate Committee Okays Roger Kyes as Deputy Secretary of Defense

WASHINGTON, R-The Sen ate Armed Services Committee today gave unanimous approval to the nomination of Roger M Kyes as deputy Secretary of De- fense. The General Motors vice president had promised to sell all his extensive stock holdings that might conflict with the defense job.
 This was the second of the controversial Defense Department nominations to win approval ot the committee. Earlier, it en- dorsed Charles E. Wilson as De- fense. Secretary ands the nomina- tion later was approved by the full Senate.
 Only one criticism was raised: Sen. Hunt D-Wyo) said he would vote for Kyes but questioned the policy of installing both the presi- dent and vice president of Gen. eral Motors-largest defense con- tractors - as top officials in the Defense Department.
 There were reports today that Eisenhower may abandon h is plan to name Robert T. B. Ste vens, Army Secretary unless Ste vens finds a way to dispose of his textile business.

COPS Squabble Over Income
 Tax Reduction

WASHINGTON, R - Som e Democrats were laughing up their sleeves today at an open Squabble among Republicans over bill to cut individual income tax rates II per cent starting June 30.
 One COP camp was led by Rep. Reed R-NY, oldest Republican in continuous service in tn e House and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the com mittee that must start all tax bills through Congress.
 Reed emerged from a closed committee session yesterday with a flat statement the group would approve the tax-cutting bill at a meeting planned for Feb. Is. Fur ther, he told reporters, the House would pass it right away - any delay would be lover my dead body"
 House Speaker Joseph Martin CR Mass then took a different view. The Speaker told a reporter We've got to do some budget cutting" before the House should consider tax reductions. -fIe said it would take several months to see how the budget shapes up.
 Several members, declining to be quoted by name, backed Mar tin. Some other Republicans lined up with Reed
 Rep. Martin R-Iowa noted the bill sponsored by Reed would merely advance by six months the date already set by present law for an II per cent rate reduction. The effect thus would be to cut income tax liability this year by 512 per cent.

Dulles Reports Plans for Ending Far East Wars

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover administration was report ed authoritatively today to have well advanced plans for trying to end the Korean and Indochinese wars by denying Russia any lad vantage" from them.
 Secretary of State Dulles, dis cussing this subject publicly for the first time since the new ad- minstration took power, told a national radio and television au- dience last night:
 To-day these wars go on be- cause the enemy thinks he's get ting an advantage by continuing the war I believe that Gen. Eisen- hover will find the ways to make the enemy change his mind in that respect so that they too will want peace"
 Dulles statement was described authoritatively as being based on plans for specific moves, although he gave no hint in his speech as to what these moves will be.
 Dulles broadcast speech pin pointed trouble spots of the world in a sweeping survey of American foreign policy problems, and also contained an appeal for popular confidence at home in the State Department and Foreign Service. He promised, with the help of the FBI, to rid the department. of any Communist or Red sympath- izers who may be found there.

C. E. Wilson Sworn In As Defense Secretary, Filling
 Out Eisenhower's Cabinet

WASHINGTON, R - PreSlQent Eisenhower's cabinet was com pleted today when Charles E. Wilson took the oath of office as Secretary of Defense in the White House.
 At the same time, Harold E. Stassen was sworn in as director of the Mutual Security Agency and former Gov Val Peterson of Nebraska as an administrative assistant to the President.
 Eisenhower stood beside Will son, Stassen and Peterson at the swearing in ceremony and ex- pressed his pleasure at having them in his official family.
 When Peterson had taken the oath, Eisenhower said, Wal, I'm glad to have you aboard"
 Peterson replied, Tt was kind of rough trip"
 This quip may have referred to a slight mixup in the reading of the oath - or to the fact that Eisenhower once planned an am- bassador's post for him but gave up the idea because of opposition from Sen. Hugh Butler R-Neb), an old political foe of Peterson.
 As an administrative assistant, Peterson did not require Senate confirmation. Ambassadors must have it.
