Jenner Urges Debate
BY U. 5. Students on
Recognition Of China
BY J. a. o'leory

Chairman Jenner of the Sen
ate Internal Security subcommit-
tee urged American teachers and
students last night to debate the
issue of whether Red China
should be granted diplomatic
recognition.
Senator Jenner said he has no
doubt "a carefully planned cam
paign is being carried on to prop
agandize for Red China among
students. teachers, church people,
farmers, labor unions and buSi-
ness groups.
Nevertheless" the Indiana
Republican added, nothing IS
gained by opposing the use of
this topic in college debates. In
stead, ! think American students
and teachers should get into the
argument with everything they
have, read every book and article,
debate every issue, marshal all
the evidence. clarity their un-
derstanding and hold on with
fierce determination until every
student and teacher who has
been exposed to Communist
propaganda lhowever skillfully
disguised1 has a chance to learn
the full story. If the Communists
want a debate on Red China they
should get it,"
Senator Jenner made his views
known in a letter to a college
professor he said had inquired
regarding the propriety of col
lege debates on the recognition
of Red China. The Senator at
tached to his letter a list of ref
erence material for use in such
debates.

Firing of Pickets
For ProfonityIs Is
Upheld by NLRB

The National Labor Relations
Board decided, Al, yesterday
to uphold the firing Of six strik-
ing workers who aimed a steady
barrage of profanity at nom
strikers crossing a picket line.
The board, however. ordered
the Longview Furniture Co..
Hickory, N. c., to restore jobs
plus back pay to three other
picketing strikers who engaged
in "only isolated instances of
name-calling." The majority ex-
cused this as animal exuber-
ance."
The majority was composed
of Chairman Guy Farmer and
Iva Peterson, Philip Rodgers
and Albert Beeson. Abe Mur-
dock disented, saying that name
calling and picket line cursing is
insufficient to deprive workers
Of their Taft-Hartley right to
get their jobs back once a strike
is over.
'Name-calling," said Mr..
Murdock, "is conduct which may
be expected in the course of a
labor dispute and specifically
during a strike and picketing." "

The Pentagon's sweeping and
controversial military reserve
program, designed to produce
drastic cut in the size of the
regular forces, faces rough going
on Capitol Hill.
However, key lawmakers in
Congress never before willing to
vote for universal military train
ing gave cautious approval to
President Eisenhowers program
of boosting the reserves while
cutting armed services strength.
Both Democratic and Repub-
lican members generally approved
the Defense Department an
nouncement yesterday of plans
to excuse 100000 youngsters
yearly from the draft if they VOL
unteer for six months active
training and follow it with 912
years reserve duty.
But most of the legislators
willing to comment keyed their
acceptance of this proposal to
changes Congress may want to
make in a program generally re-
garded as reviving in limited
form UNIT recommendations that
have not been too popular in
the past. .... -..
Defense Secretary Wilson un-
wrapped the plan at a news con-
ference yesterday.
1t was disclosed the active
forces may be down to 2.7
million officers and enlisted
personnel by June, 1859, a cut
of 100000 from the present
strength.
Mr.. Wilson described the re-
serve plan as fair. workable
scheme" designed to be flexible
to meet changing world condi-
tions."
His manpower chief. Assistant
Secretary Carter L. Burgess. oh
Vl0uSly aware OF Congress an
tipathy to UNIT, avoided most
references to it. Asked how the
plan differed from UNIT, Mr.
Burgess said it was different
because the six-month trainee
would volunteer rather than be
forced into it.
The tremendous cut in active
strength also was bound to cause
strong Congressional criticism
The cut slipped out inadvertently
on one of the charts used to
explain the reserve plan.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia. prospective new chair
man of the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee, withheld judg-
ment until the program is for
mally presented to Congress. He
has been an advocate of UNIT
in the past.

Political Miracle byCose
Won Jersey Senate Seat
By Don S. Worren

One of the most dramatic
things about the balloting last
November was the election to the
Senate of former Representative
Clifford Case, liberal Republican
of New Jersey. surmounting q
bad split in the G. o. P. there.
McCarthyism was a hot issue,
and the White House was in
volved because Mr.. Case sup
ported President Eisenhower and
Ike soldly and visibly supported
him.
Some Republican leaders shook
with fright when Mr.. Case, before
the election, not. only denounced
the embattled Republican Red
hunter from Wisconsin but said
he would favor Senator Nc
Carthy's exclusion as a member
as well as chairman of the SEN
ate's Permanent Investigating
Committee.
Experts said it would be a
miracle if Mr.. Case won, but
that didn't stop him. He cam
paigned all the harder and ap-
parently performed the needed
miracle. In the windup, he
topped the Democratic. candi-

1t was close and a recount was

The Tribure said the depart

mented:
This is not as if we were
firing some one already on the

cretion In hiring. This security
problem is a very sensitive thing
and Secretary Benson would not
take such action without giving
