The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-05-21

WASHINGTON RAPresident Eli
senhower appeared today to have
averted . threatened election-year
clash with some key congressman
In his own party over the tender
topic Of tariff walls.
He did 80 by putting off-until
next year-his request for a three
year renewal of the Reciprocal
Trade Act with power to lower
tariffs an additional S per cent
each year.
In 4 letter released late yester.
day, Eisenhower said he still re.
garded this ho4ly controversial
program as indispensable" in the
national interest. But he suggested
that Congress only hold thorough
hearings on it this year, and take
it up for action early in 1855.
Meanwhile, he said, Congress-
could renew the act as it stands
for one more year. The present
law expires June IL.
Several high-ranking Republi-
cans in Congress who have been
ready to fight for higher instead of
lower tariffs indicated they would
be happy to postpone the threat
ened battle for another year and
simply renew the present act.
One Of the leading advocates of
higher tariff protection for some
American industries is Rep. Dan
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-05-21

lei A. Reed (R-NY), chairman of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee and oldest Republican in
continuous service in the House.
Reeds committee handles tariff
bills-and also such matters as
taxes and social security which
have an important place in Eisen-
hower's legislative program.
Reed said today he was graft
fled" at the Presidents new stand,
expressed in a letter to Charles H.
Percy, president of the Bell and
Howell Co. of Chicago.
Reed promised full hearings by
his committee and termed it "es-
pecially important" that his group
hear testimony from industries
and labor groups who say they
are being hurt by imports.
Another leading advocate of
higher tariffs is Rep. Richard NJ.
Simpson (R-Pa). A veteran Ways
and Means member, Simpson also
heads the Republican COMPRESSION
al Campaign Committee, which
must work closely with Eisenhow-
er in its drive to boost or at least
retain the now-slim COP margin
in the House.
On the Senate side, Chairman
Millikin (R-Colo) of the Senate FL
nance Committee has also been a
critic of some administration Glow
tariff policies. His group handles

.Schine Is Colonel
In Kentucky, sub

FRANKFORT, Ky. R-G. David
Schine, often called the "best
known private in the Army" &C.
tually is a colonel. A Kentucky
colonel, that is.
And, sub, the key figure in the
McCarthy-Army row has held that
rank for more than a year.
Schine was commissioned an
aide-de-camp, with the rank and
grade of colonel, on the staff of
Acting Gov. Emerson Beauchamp
April 16, 1858, a few months be-
fore he was indicted into the Ar.
my as a private.
The commission was granted in
response to a request from Secre-
tary of State Charles X. O'Connell,
who identified the New Yorker as
a special friend of Col. Anna
Friedman, keeper of the seal of
the Kentucky colonies.

Formosa, seat of Chang Kai-shek's
Nationalist government.
That buildup apparently has
been made since the Korean Wars
end allowed diversion of air power
from Manchuria.
The Red buildup in Chekiang
province consists almost entirely
of MIG15 fighters and IL2S twin.
jet bombers, information reaching
Washington indicates.
Although the shift is receiving
attention here, there was no indi-
cation today that officials were un-
duly alarmed over prospects of an
immediate move against Formosa.
The redeployment appears to have
been gradual, a part of a broader
program which has sent even larg-
er numbers of aircraft to fields in
southern China, close to the Indo-
china border.
The United States still is holding
last to its policy of promising sea
and air aid to head off any in
vaslon attempt by the Reds against
Formosa.
Dispatches from the Far East
report Red air sorties over islands
off the China mainland which have
been seized and held by amphibi-
Gus forces of Generalissimo Chang
with Nationalist planes challenging
these Red air movements. But
there has been nothing suggesting

direct invasion attempts against
Formosa itself. 4
While Washington officiais were
reluctant to discuss details of the
policy for the Formosan-C China
mainland area, the indications are
that strikes against the small off,
shore islands currently held by
Chiang's troops would not be con-
sidered a reason for involving US.
ships or aircraft. Most Of the is-
land positions held by Nationalist
troops now were taken after the
United States enunciated its For.
mosan protection policy in 1850, at
the start of the Korean War.
Former President Truman at
that time ordered the It'll Fleet to
stand guard against aggressive at
tack on Formosa by the Reds -
and at the same time to restrain
Chiang's forces from operations
against the mainland. When Presi-
dent Eisenhower took office, one
of his first acts was to strike out
the second part of that order. He
ordered that the nth Fleet no
longer be employed to shield Com
munist China"
The 7th Fleet, at approximately
the full strength of Korean War
days, is still on station in the Far
East, maintaining with part Of its
force patrol over the Korean
Straits. The United States also has

Dialect of Christ
May Be Erased
Due to New School

BEIRUT, April 10 (NANA) -
Christian leaders here fear that
the opening of a new Syrian gov
eminent primary school in the
village of Mal'oula means the ex-
tinction of the colloquial Ian
guage that Christ spoke.
Malloula is the last commu-
nifty in the world to use the
Aramaic dialect. The schools
curriculum provides for the
teaching only Of Arabic.
Until recently, the village eld-
ers. mostly Christians. were able
to pass on the language orally
to succeeding generations. But
first q road was built to connect
the village with Damascus, and
the school followed. The lead
ers fear the children will thus
be encouraged to rely on Arabic.
