Influence PeddIinq
Is Feared in Spain
BY the Assoeiuted Press

Spain has been described to
Congress as potentially "a rather
lush field for influence peddlers"
because of the multi-million
dollar Spanish air base program.
So reported a House Armed
Services subcommitte yesterday
in an account Of its inspection
tour last fall of American in
stallations in eight Western Eu-
ropean nations.
Because of the size of the
Spanish undertaking. for which
Congress has already voted $40
million, the Congressman said it
is small wonder that Spain
seems to be alive with entire
preneurs from the United States
looking for combinations of firms
and individuals, many times
with the suggestion of influence.
We have common knowledge of
what is going on in the City of
Washington"
The six-man group, headed by
Representative Hess, Republican,
of Ohio, called on Congress to
keep a close tab on the Spanish
program but also praised the
cooperation of Spanish officials
in lone of the great contribu-
lions" to American global de-
lenses.

Dovid Lowrence

just last Wednesday at his
press conference President
Eisenhower was saying that
he had appealed to everybody
he could reach with the sound
Of his voice to give less at
tention to subjects that are
unworthy of occupying our
time from morning to night.
This observation was fol-
lowed by another comment
from the President backing up
that part of a speech which
Senator Flanders of Vermont.
Republican had made in the
Senate the previous day also
deploring the attention which
the Mccarthy controversies
were being given while much
more serious situations In the
world were being overlooked.
One would have thought
that in an executive depart
ment. subject to the discipline
of the President, Mr.. EiSen-
hower'S advice might be heed
ed. But the very next day,
unbeknownst to the Republic
can members of the Senate
subcommittee on investiga-
tions. the Department of the
Army slipped to the Demo-
cratic members of the same
committee a report containing
sensational charges. These
concerned the activities Of
members of that committees
staff in allegedly seeking IA
vored treatment for a former
member of their staff now
serving in the Army.
Naturally the document was
leaked to the press. The anti
Mccarthy partisans welcomed
1t as a devastating report that
would thereafter squelch the
Wisconsin Senator. But within
a few hours Senator McCar-
thy and the staff Of his Senate
Subcommittee came up with a
report containing counter
charges of just as sensational
a character limiting at an al
legged blackmail attempt on the
part of the Arny's legal Of
ficer so as to get the commit
tee to take the heat OF the
Army on the Communist issue.
Much of the testimony on this
point was written by Frapcis
Carr, now a committee staff
member. but formerly a super
visor in charge of an impor-
tant desk in the New York

The administration also has
been put on the defensive by
Democrats on an important
phase Of its program--taxes.
President Eisenhower enlisted
personally to defend this front
before the public in an at
tempt to beat back the DEM
ocratic threat to increase per-
sonal exemptions. The odds
are against him.
Here's how the administra-
ton program stands today:
The Senate has passed only
one major measure in it, the
st. Lawrence Seaway bill.
That is pending in the House.
The Senate now is working on
the Hawaii and Alaska state
hood bills which Democrats
succeeded in tying into one
package contrary to admins
tration wishes.
: The House has passed one
item in the Presidents COM
prehensive health program.
This is the bill authorizing
advances Of $180 million in
grants to States for hospitals.

ton centers and nurses homes

$50 million each year. That
measure Is now before a Sem

committee.

cial welfare program:

office of the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation.
Did anybody in the Eisen-
hover administration think
that all this was going to keep
the Mccarthy controversy of
the front pages and that at
tention wasn't going to con-
tinue to be diverted from other
serious matters? Certainly the
Senate now will have to in
vestigate and take testimony
under oath from everybody
involved Secretary Stevens.
John G. Adams who is his legal
counsel. Senator Mccarthy.
Francis Carr. Roy Cohn. and
any one else whose name Is
mentioned In these two con-
flicting reports. Also it may
require the public disclosure of
any other diaries which the
Army may be keeping on what
other Senators and Represent
atives have been asking for at
the Pentagon< for their con-
stituentS.
But in the midst of it all
most everybody. including the
President, seems to have over
looked a very important sec
ton of the speech by Senator
Flanders. Although they re-
ported fully the attack which
Senator Flanders made on the
Wisconsin Senator. the wire
services did not report fully
the sensational attack which
Senator Flanders also made on
some Of the Eisenhower adj
ministration's foreign policies.
The -four paragraphs Of the
Tuesday address of Senator
Flanders-which Gen. Eisen-
hover was not asked about at
his Wednesday press confer
ence-are as follows:

Of influence among the then
still hungry working classes
because the German people
were dedicated to Germany
and to nothing else. Had the
industries in the Bonn republic
been subjected to the many
strikes and upheavals their
rich neighbor west of the
Rhine had to undergo since its
liberation, there is no question
that Germany would have been
economically in the same FIX
as France or Great Britain.
Some of our leaders are
hipped on the subject of close

Some political philosophers go
as far as advocating a one
world government as a cure-all
for the present world ills.
For the time being, however.
international cooperation is
sound and desirable provided
it is based on a strong national
unity from which all alien
"isms" have been removed.
Those who don't believe this
and make nationalism equal to
jingoism have only to look at
the miracle recovery of West
ern Germany. It was due less
to the ample coal supplies of
the Ruhr or the technical
know-how of the engineers and
others than to the solid unity
of purpose of its citizens and
their firm rejection of the
Communist lure.

Laniel Mentions Deal"
The real reason why the As
sembly voted down the idea of
direct negotiations was limited at
in another remark by the Pre-
mier, as he summed up the pos
sibilities of reaching q truce.
Said Mr.. Laniel:
"AS for the great democracies
who up to now have furnished
us considerable aid in the Indo-
Chinese war, their presence at
these negotiations will be not
only precious but essential. since
it will multiply the possibilities
of a deal"
What kind Of a deal?, Mr..
Laniel is far too well versed in
the essential arts Of diplomacy
to be specific on this point at
this time. What he did say. how
ever. adds up to an outright
and Official admission that
France has little to offer in re-
turn for peace in Indo-China
and is banking heavily on the
United States to make UP the
deficit. The assumption is being
made that the Indo-C Chinese war
is a part of global Communist
strategy and that the "transac-
ton" to end it need not neces-
sarily be confined to Indo- China
itself.
Americans Pessimistic,
AT any rate. this is very diff
ferent talk from what was said
before Berlin. when the French
were vowing never to barter
Western security" against posi-
bic Russian concessions. And so
far as Americans here are con-
cerned, it is only fair to say that
the more they hear of it, the
longer their faces get. Ton
American diplomats in Paris say
privately that there is no chance
Of important concessions to any
part Of the Communist coalition
given the prevailing political
sentiment at home. And the
danger that the United States
will be placed in an unpopular
moral position at Geneva be-
comes more apparent every day.
