the fact that Russian Deputy

Condor Told
ToPut Status
Up to House
BY the Associated Press

Representative Robert L. Con-
don, Democrat, of California,
was advised by a Democratic
Senator today to let the House
of representative decide
whether Communist allegations
cited by the Atomic Energy
Commission are invalid or
whether Mr.. Condor should be
disqualified from membership in
Congress.
Senator PaStore, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, offered this advice
in a Senate House Atomic En-
ergy Committee hearing called
in connection with the Aces
banning of Mr.. Condor from an
atomic weapons explosion in
Nevada last May.
Senator Pastore told Mr.. Con-
don your whole political life
may be resting on this issue"
and questioned whether the
freshman Congressman from
California had done all he could
to clear his name.
What do you think I should
do?" Mr.. Condor inquired.
IF I were in your position, "
Senator PaStore replied, II
would introduce a resolution in
the House to either remove this
(AEC) restraint or judge myself
unqualified to serve as a men,
Der of the House."
Mr.. Condor made no COM
ment.
Mr.. Condor, who asked for the
opportunity to make his public
defense before the Senate House
committee, has denied under
oath he ever was a Communist
or ever attended any meetings
he knew to be Communist. He
has testified he belonged for a
time to two organizations later
cited as Subversive.

The essentials of what has

up in few words. Russian For

posed an agenda for talks start

from there to the German prob
lem and winding up with the
Austrian treaty. The Western
allies have accepted this agenda.
Mr.. Molotov promptly proposed
converting of five-power talks in
May or June for the purpose of
a general discussion of methods
to ease world tensions. Equally
promptly. the allies led by Sec
rotary Dulles have rejected the
offer and proposed that item one
on the agenda be dropped.

that this will happen quickly.

By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Bricker. Republican,
Of Ohio. said today President
Elsenhower's advisers "have sold
him a bad bill of goods" against
the Senator's proposed consti-
tutional amendment which he
calls necessary to protect the
States from internal law written

eventually come to showdown
not only between that official
and the military brass but with
some of his subordinate civilian
secretaries as we'll.
Military service lawyers long
have challenged the theory that
the defense chiefs authority
overrode that of the officials of
the Army, Navy and Air Force
Departments. But now Strive
Hensel. Defense Department
general counsel, has ruled that
the Defense Secretary'S author
ity is supreme and that he may
order and direct any secretary to
do that which any other secre-
tary is authorized to do"
Fl Prisoners Involved.
The ruling came recently in
connection with the handling of
the 81 CHS who refused to re-
turn from Communist custody.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
called in top Army officials and
handed them an order directing
dishonorable discharges for the
81. Earlier some attorneys had
argued that such discharges
could not be given except after
courts-martial as provided by
Army regulations.
Closely related to the ruling
was the Army's handling of the
case of Corpl. Edward S. Dicken-
son, the former prisoner now
facing court martial charges at
Walter Reed Army Hospital.
The Army's announcement of
the case took every one from
President Eisenhower on down
by surprise. And the Chief
Executive yesterday said he was
disturbed when he read about it
and he Immediately called Mr..
Wilson.
The Secretary already had
called Army officials on the mat
ter. Finally he announced he
was taking the case under adj

In addition to what was
termed an "ill-timed" announce
ment, Mr.. Wilson and other top
officials criticized the fact that
the impression was given the cor

his original decision to remain
with the Reds. The charges &C

pressed his original intention not

President Eisenhower today
postponed indefinitely making
recommendations to Congress
for raising the 75-cent hourly
minimum wage and bringing
additional millions under the
protection of the Federal Wage
and Hour law.
Revamping the law had been
high on the list of administra-
ton promises to labor.
In his economic report to
Congress, the President indi-
Gated the current economic
downturn and accompanying
unemployment was the major
consideration in the decision
against suggesting a higher
minimum wage at this time. The
present wage of IS cents an hour
was set in 1949. 1t applies to "a
million workers in industries en-
gagged in interstate commerce.
With regard to both the
wage minimum and coverage
of the law, the President said
the matters were still under
study at the Labor Department
and that recommendations to
Congress would be made at the
proper time"
Labor Attack Seen.
The postponement of all wage
hour recommendations, and a
strong hint that a raise in the
minimum is not held to be justi-
fed at this time. was sure to
bring new attack on the admin
istration from organized labor.
And the postponement of &C
ton was regarded as a setback
for Secretary of L; Dor Mitchell
who repeatedly recommended a
raise in the wage and an extern
sion of coverage to several mil
lion more workers.
Gen Eisenhower told Congress
that both an increase of the
minimum wage and expansion of
its coverage ARE desirable. y

Hits at Five-Power Plan.
Mr.. Dulles claimed that in
arguing here for a five-power
meeting, Mr.. Molotov has been
playing on the hopes raised
when the United Nations was
formed in -945 in order to just
ify transferring those hopes to a
council of the five powers.
The fact is, Mr.. Dulles con-
tinued. Mr.. Molotov is trying to
replace the United Nations with
council of five which he said
would take over responsibility
for running the world.
The Dulles argument hit hard
at the f1ve-power conference
suggestion which all three West
ern ministers have already re-
iected. But at the same time
the Western delegations are ex-
tremely sensitive to peace hopes,
especially with respect to Indo-
China. They were clearly deter
mined to explore all possibilities
of a settlement in case Mr.. Mo-
lotov has anything serious in
mind.
Mr.. Dulles, Mr.. Eden and
French Foreign Minister Bidault
lunched together at noon and
apparently decided on their
tactics to take a tough line on
the f1ve-power conference. AT
least that was the line being
taken by Mr.. Dulles, who sought
to move Mr.. Molotov on to a
discussion of the German situa-
ton.
