Confusion about what to do
in the West Pacific area in
creases in Washington as the
military political situation in
o-China worsens and the
prospects of a satisfactory con-
ference at Geneva become
DINNER.
Last Saturdays statement of
Vice President Nixon that there
was a vague possibility that
this country might send troops
to ndo-China was mildly re-
pudiated by Secretary of State
Dulles. The Senate is worried
and there are almost as many
opinions on the subject as
there are Senators.
Mr.. Nixon's remarks were
weighty. not because he is the
Vice President of the United
States, but because he is the
de facto chairman of the Ma
tional Security Council, where
the administrations foreign
and military policies are be-
ing formulated. President Eli
senhower, the ex-ofhcio chair
man of the council, rarely
attends the meetings. He is
represented by the next rank
ing member. the Vice Presi-
dent. Hence Mr.. Nixon's state
ment on foreign and military
policies should not be taken
lightly.
On the other hand, Chair
man Saltonstall of the Senate
Armed Services Committee, to
whom the armed services are
reporting their plans. includ-
ing top secret matters. said
last Monday that he had never
heard any one mention any
plan to send American troops
to Indo- China. This seems
somewhat strange since the
story has been kicking around
Washington ever since the
siege of Dien Bien Phu started.

this Hypothetical" situation

Estimate Doubles Cost
Of Fairfield Tunnel
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, April 21.-The
Chairman of the State Roads
Commission has told the Port
Of Baltimore Commission that
the proposed harbor tunnel from
Fairfield to Canton would cost
an estimated $143 million-twice
the amount previously quoted.
Russell M. Mccain said the
previous estimate of SIT. million
included only the approaches
and actual tunnel costs. Costs
of purchasing rights of way and
relocating public utilities were
not considered, he said.
The exact location of the tun-
mel probably will be announced
by the SRC this week, but
Mr.. Mccain indicated there
would be no change in the pro-
posed Fairfield Canton route.

Confusion Over Southeast Asia
Every One Seems to Have His Own Ideas, but Bridges
Warming on 'Indecsive Truce Is the Crux oflt

in Washington for their an
rlual convention. that an sin
decisive truce"-the maximum
we expect from the Geneva
parley-or a French military
defeat in Indo-China will
mean that "the struggle for
Asia and the Pacific will con-
tinue in a new arena, less fa-
vorable to us Strategically
than Korea and Indo~ China"
Senator Bridges put the whole
problem of Indo-China and
Southeast Asia in a nutshell
when he told the convention:
"Our own military security,
perhaps our own survival. de-
pendS upon our free access to
the Western Pacific"
There is no longer any
doubt in anybody's mind, in
this country, that the Soviets
consider the conquest of the
whole of Asia as the first step
to establish their world en-
pire. They have driven toward
that goal since 1916, when
they began to help the Chinese
Communists in their fight
against the Nationalist gov
ernment. In their effort to
reach the Pacific and control
its shores from Vladivostok to
the tip of the Malayan penin-
'Sula. they created the present
disturbances: the war in Ko-
rea and Indo-China and the
uprisings in Malaga.
Our French and British allies
have not yet understood how
vulnerable this country will be-
come once the men in the
Kremlin have the Western
Pacific shoreline in their
grasp. The fact is that the
rumor of an American inter-
vention in Indo-China is not
in END ded to stabilize the
French colonial grip on that
country, but to safeguard our
own security against an en-
emy whose avowed purpose is
the destruction of the United
States. The next few months
will show whether wishful
thinking or realism will prevail
in Washington.

Doris FIeeson-

A member of the Senate
subcommittee which will in
vestigate the McCarthy-Army
dispute has received a pile of
mail containing suggestions
for the conduct of the hear
ings. He sends his correspond
ents a form reply as follows:
IT am grateful for your in
terest but I know Of no way to
set up rules which will insure
that the bull in the china shop
will break only the blue
china"
This is one way of express
ing what all the subcommittee
members accept as fact. It is
that a United States Senator
is a hard man to restrain at
best and when he is Joseph r.
Mccarthy, who has never dis
played any terminal facilities
whatsoever. it is next to i'm
possible, rules or no rules.
In short, the. Senators expect
Mccarthy to carry on as be-
fore unless he should become
persuaded that it was hurting
him to do so.
Democratic strategy in the
hearings will be directed at

sioner Hollyday to do some
thing about these operators.
Administrator Cole had been
tipped off by a lawyer Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau
which had run across many
claims by these ''mortgaging
out" builders to pay the lower
capital gains tax on their
profits instead Of the regular
income tax. Some 1889 such
cases, with names, have been
submitted to the Senate Bank
ing Committee. of which Sem
ator Capehart is chairman.
It was even before that, in
April, 1858, in fact, when Ad-
ministrator Cole called Com
missioner Hollyday's attention
to the "dynamiter" racket on
the basis of FBI reports about
prevalence Of that racket in
Los Angeles.
The general public got it's
first intimation of all of this
a few days ago when Mr.. Hol-
lyday was summarily ousted
by Sherman Adams, Presi-
dent Eisenhower'S admins
trative assistant and No. l
hatchet man. The deposed
FILA commissioner told the
Senate Banking Committee
what he had done to check the
"dynamiter" racket, which in
cluded new regulations that
went into effect last December
and that drew praise from Adj
mipistrator Cole. Then Mr..
Cole came along before the
same committee to say he had
recommended that Mr.. Holly
day be fired because he
thought he had not pushed
the Investigations fast enough,
though a listener at the public
hearings could get the impress
sion-as this one did-that Mr..
Hollyday might be the goat"
for some reason or other Such
a dramatic ouSting-and Com
missioner Hollyday never was
told why-can create an inn
preston of energy and dis
patch.
Some of the mystery Of
this sudden display of action
may be explained partly by the
fact that a Southern Demo-
crat, Senator Byrd of Virginia,
has had his Joint Committee
on Reduction of NoneSsential
Federal Expenditures tracking
about for a year in this scan
dial" area. and was about ready
with some exposures. The Vir-
ginia Senator now is running
his own show concurrently.
Developments thus far in
the Capehart inquiry indicate
Evening star., 1954-04-21

that the Republican effort.
now that the scandal" is out
in the open, will be to lay as
much blame as possible on
previous Democratic admins
trations and try to provide new
ammunition for the famous
mess in Washington" theme
that worked so well two years
ago. Democrats are attempt
ing to offset this by stressing
the continuation of abuses in
the Eisenhower administra-
ton. and are trying to probe
deep into the Hollyday firing.
