Earlier. In an effort to give
Russia assurances Of q peaceful

States to associate itself dur
ably with q future six-nation

would include German troops.
The East German Communist
government put the apparent
essentials of Soviet Foreign Min

posal into q memorandum to the
conference.
Demands Of Soviet Plans.
It demanded:
/. Immediate scrapping Of the
European army pact and the
Western powers peace contract
with the Bonn republic.
2. Immediate ban on mill

IN coming out publicly with mis-
own scheme. He is to elaborate
on 1t next week to the three
Western foreign ministers.
First Western reaction was
that the plan was a rehash Of
virtually all the unacceptable
proposals made ~ the Reds
about Germany in recent years.
It offered no hint Of compro-

The West demands free cleo

storing German unity. The East
German memorandum declared:
I'VE are for free elections but
not for American elections and
not for elections which prepare
the way for militarists and re-

that the creation of EDC-in

Budget Chief Dodge
Returning April IS
To His Detroit Post
Reminds Eisenhower
He Planned to Leave;
No Successor Chosen

Joseph NJ. Dodge. who was
President Eisenhower first off,
cial appointee, is resigning as
Director of the Budget April Is
to return to his banking job in
Detroit.
Mr.. Dodge, So. reminded Gen.
Eisenhower in his letter of resig-
nation Of his intention to leave
"as soon as practicable" after
the 1855 budget was completed
and expressed regret that the
time had come.
Gets Dear Joe" Reply.
In a Dear Joe" reply, Gen.
Eisenhower accepted the resig-
nation only with the greatest
reluctance" and said he would
sol ely miss Mr.. Dodge's advice
and counsel. Asserting Mr..
Dodge's services had been Gin
valuable to the country the
President added:
Your competence and knowl-
edge in an exceedingly difficult
field have UNNECESSARILY helped
solve the gigantic fiscal and
management problems that have
faced this administration.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
OF Michigan. friend of Mr..
Dodge, said the budget director
had stayed longer than his origi-
nal plans for one years service.
His departure will be a great
loss because he has been one of
the very able men on finance"
Senator Ferguson said.
The White House said no sue
ceSsor has been chosen. The No.
2 man in the Budget Bureau is
Rowland r. Hughes. a vice pres
ident on leave of the National
City Bank of New York who was
brought here by Mr.. Dodge to be
his deputy director.
Job on Temporary Basis.
Friends and associates of the
budget director agreed with Sen
ator Ferguson and James C.
Hagerty, White House press sec
rotary, that Mr.. Dodge had taken
the job on a temporary basis
only.
Now, having helped in the
transition from Democratic to
a Republican regime and in the
preparation of Gen. Eisenhower
first complete budget. they said
he wanted to return to his post
as chairman of the board of the
Detroit Bank. In his letter to
Gen. Eisenhower. he recalled
that he had devoted most of the
last IL years to Government
service. both at home and
abroad.
Perhaps by coincidence. Mr..
Dodge's letter of resignation was
dated February 26. at a time
when House Republican leaders
were expressing confidence that
the excise tax reduction bill
which passed the Senate last
Thursday night would be en-
acted.

that an intensive American

power will produce economical
