DIksen Says Hell Will Pop
If Churchill Asks Currency Aid

ing their own version. said he
thinks the present law has been
working fairly well.
Congress provided in it that
the President must cite his rea-
sons when he overrules any
Tariff Commission finding that a
proposed rate reduction threat
ems an American industry.

Senator Taft said he would
have to discuss the trade pro-
gram with Senator Millikin, Re-
publican of Colorado, who. will
be new chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. before he
makes any final decision on ex-
tension of the law. It expires
next June.
Senator Martin, Republican Of
Pennsylvania, q Finance Com
mittee member, told a reporter
that while everybody would like
to see an increase in the free
worlds trade. he believes there
gill be strong protests from small
businessmen against lowering
many rates.
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana said Congress will
want to take a good look" at
any tariff reduction proposals.
Along with others. Senator
Capehart predicted that Con-
gress will cut foreign aid sub
Stantially in this session. This
could involve a major financial
blow to Britain, if other forms
of American assistance are not
forthcoming.
Senator McCarran. Democrat,
of Nevada said in q statement
yesterday that there should be
sharp curtailment" Of foreign
spending and IAN early end to
the economic assistance pro-
gram"
An appropriations subcommit-
tee on mutual aid. which Senator
McCarran has headed, reported
that in the last IL years Britain
has received $31,559,547. 900 in
American aid. including war;

The "Jess" mentioned in the
letter was not further identi-

Gated it was a Government en-

Jenner, he said:
II shall be glad to give you, or
any member of your staff whom
you designate, the name of the
Federal employe who collected
this cash for Monroney, as well
as the amount Of the cash col
lected."
Senator Mccarthy also told
Senator Jenner:
Il thought you might want to
submit it to the subcommittee :.
on privileges and elections after
the committees are organized.
He also inclosed a letter he
had written December 1, 1852, to
Senator Monroney asking infor-
nation about the matter. This
letter, Senator Mccarthy added
was not answered.
Mr.. Grunewald is under in

matters and his relationships

The photostat released by
Senator Mccarthy was on off,

Monroney was serving at the

The letter reviewed Mr.. Mon

Needless to say. we are trying

Senator Dirksen, Republican,
of Illinois predicted today that
hell will pop" in Congress if
any proposal for United States
support of British currency
comes out of the Eisenhower
Churchill conference.
Senator Dirksen told a re-
porter he does not believe
President-electE Eisenhower made
any commitments in his CONVEX
sations with Prime Minister
Churchill at a meeting yesterday.
Nevertheless" the Illinois
Senator said, II shall be inter-
eSted to see whether Mr..
Churchill subsequently makes
any proposal for a gift Of Amer
lean gold to support the con-
vertibility of Britain's currency.
If anything of that nature
comes up, hell will pop in Con-
gress, I'm sure"
While Mr.. Churchill has made
no public mention of it, there
have been reports the British
Prime Minister would like to
have American financial support
for an international stabilization
fund for the free countries.
Accent on Tariff.
Publicly, Mr.. Churchill has
concerned himself more directly
with the theme that United
States tariffs are impeding trade
and hampering Britain's efforts
to earn her own living with
trade. not aid.
While Senator Taft of Ohio,
the new Senate majority leader,
indicated he favors extension of
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act in about its present form,
some other Republicans held out
little hope for any considerable
tariff cuts. The act permits the
administration to cut import du-
ties. in exchange for similar con-
cessions from other countries.

tensions of the trade program

the customary pictures were
taken with the host, Gen. Eisen-
hover and the Prime Minister
retired for a private conversa-
ton.
After this first meeting, Gen.
Eisenhower drove home, changed
to dinner clothes, and returned
to the Baruch apartment at 8
pm. for the dinner. which was
a family affair.
Photographers who made pic
lures soon after Gen. Eisenhower
went in for the first meeting
were the only source of news
tidbits about what happened
there.
The photographers said Gen.
Eisenhower told the 78-year-old
Mr.. Churchill:
"You look much better than
when saw you last"
Pickets on Parade.
When Gen. Eisenhower re-
turned to the Baruch home for
dinner, about rs pickets repre-
senting an anti-EngliSh organi-
Zation known as the Irish
American Minute Men were
parading near the doorway The
President-elect gave nc. sign that
he noticed them.
The pickets carried placards
saying Windy Winnie Blew in

lars" ~. S. Has the Best
Friends Money Can Buy" and

A woman standing near the
door applauded Gen. Eisenhower
and called out:

Gen. Eisenhower left the house
alone at II pm, carrying what
appeared to be a bulky book un-
der his arm. He was smiling.
but gave newsmen no chance to
question him about his talks with
Mr.. Churchill. Secret Service
men and police kept the small
crowd on hand at a distance.
Planned No Statement.
Gen. Eisenhower previously
had sent word to newsmen
through Mr.. Hagerty that he ex-
pected to meet tFe Prime Min
lister informally" and would
have no statement afterward
The secretary said, too. that the
general was sorry to inconven-
ience the men who have to stand
on the street tonight" Familiar
with news practices. the general
anticipated that reporters would
be keeping watch, as usual, when
the dinner broke up.
While the pre- dinner meeting
was in progress, Mr.. Hagerty
stressed anew that Gen. Eisen-
hover did not intend TO talR
about it.
In view of the fact that Gen
Eisenhower is still a private citi.
zen, his taking that attitude pub.
licly is understandable to observ-
ers. It did not, however, bal

not well founded. General Ike is
not that kind of man and his
big business selections are not that
kind of men.
Take No. 3: True, the big labor
bosses were violently against him
during the campaign but they
seem disposed to be friendly now.
The appointment as Secretary of
Labor of Mr.. Dukin, head Of one
of the big AFL unions and a
Democrat, shows no hostility upon
the part of the President-elect.
Certainly he is under no obliga-
ton to the labor bosses. Certainly.
the Republican party owes them
nothing. Certainly they will not be
in position to demand support
from the President nor bully party
leaders. The election showed they
could not deliver their own rank

was taken out Of them by the Els

got a good deal more than that

THE GREAT
GAME OF
POLITICS
The Trouble FOrecasters
BY FRANK II. KENT
Copyright by The Baltimore Sun and re-
printed in The Republican by permission.

Although he will not become
President for more than two weeks,
much trouble is already seen ahead
for General Eisenhower Some of
these forecasts came from friend
ly sources, apprehensive that he
will get off to bad start; some
come from those who do not wish
him well.
Among these predictions are G)
that before long there will be an
open breach between President Els
cnhower and Senator Taft; C2) that
big business millionaires in the
Cabinet and other high posts will
cause resentment of the common
people; CD that leaders of the
big labor organizations, already
hostile, will become more so and
thus handicap the Eisenhower pro-
gram; (4) that his igorance of
politics together with unsatisfac-
tory relations with Washington
correspondents will make things
tough for him from the start; 90
that the egg heads" of the Stew
cnson campaign, still unreconcled
to the Eisenhower victory. will try
to finance smear Eisenhower
campaign along the lines of the
old DISQUALIFICATION campaign
against Hoover.
Now there are a number of
things to be said against these
calamitous prophecies. Take No. | {:
No reasonable person expects
General Ike and Senator Taft to
see eye to eye on all questions at
all times. Differences of opinion
are inevitable. On the other hand,
the self-interest of both is against
anything resembling a break on a
real issue Obviously, the General
must depend largely upon Senator
Taft to get his program through
the Senate. Cooperation with the
Senator is cS entia to the
success of the Administration. Just
as clearly as it is to the self-interest
of Mr.. Taft to have White House
support and understanding. For
one thing, Senator Taft could not
now win a fight with General
Eisenhower. For another, Senator
Taft has a personal interest in
having this, the first Republican
administration in twenty years,
succeed. For still another, though
rivals for the nomination, the
General and the Senator have mu-
tual respect and regard.
Take No. ,: Both the Roosevelt
and Truman administrations were
plentifully sprinkled with big bust
ness millionaires, such as Mr..
Averell Hartman, Mr.. Jesse
Jones, Mr.. Joseph P. Kennedy, Mr..
Robert Lovett and enough others
to make this protest against those
selected by Ike" seem silly, From
the standpoint of ability and
character the Eisenhower group
seems somewhat superior to either
the Truman or Roosevelt groups.
Also, the fear expressed that this
group will run away with" the
General and mold his policies
against the common man" is
