that they were not going to take
peace at any price in Indo-C China,
so the United States agreed to send
Gen. Smith back to Geneva to head
the American negotiating team.
This reunited front, Of course,
will be a prime factor in the inten-
sive negotiations which will continue
until next Tuesday at midnight.
The United States is still taking,
the lead in pressing for united
show of strength against the COM
munist threat in Southeast Asia.
The Defense Department took a step
in this direction last Tuesday when
it announced that this country is
increasing its military aid to Thai
land. This neighbor of Laos and
Cambodia is already on the Com
munist calendar FOR conquest. In
the recent past Thailand has not
had much of a reputation as a
fighter, however. She capitulated to
the Japanese without fight in
World War II. The United States
hopes, however, to bolster her posi-
ton now so that she can stand up
to the Reds.
In Indo-C China, meanwhile, the
Communists were keeping up the
pressure on Franco-Viet Namese
forces in the contracted Tonkin
Delta area. Heavy shipments of
supplies were clogging the roads out
Of Red China into Northern Wet
Nam. French air observers said the
quantity was much larger than at
the time of Diem Bien Phu.
Hoping to catch the Reds off
balance, Gen. Rene Cogny launched
a 10-battalion thrust at forward
Wet Mini positions north, east and
west of Hanoi. The battle was
still too new this week end to Judge
its success.
On his Paris trip Mr.. Dulles also
discussed the long STALLED European
Defense Community treaty with M.
Mendes-France. The French Pre-
mier has said that If he gets peace in

A Commute series Of blasts
ripped an explosive factory
in ChestertOwn, Md, last Fri

were missing and so were hurt.

Federal civil service employees as

last week. The House Civil Service

Now through the House commit

clear sailing. Only three days Of
hearings are scheduled in the Sem

House-have been decided on as the
most effective way to speed passage.

Lawmakers Are Showing
Determination to Make
Early Adjournment

Less than half of the key pro-
posals in the Eisenhower program
for this years Congress have been
approved. If Congress is to hit its
adjournment target date of July 81
it must complete more work this
month than in the previous six
months combined.
It looked last week as If they
might make 1.-THE Senate even
worked Saturdays. Several major
bills were moved forward, though
one key measure, the health rein
surance program, was killed and
others were modified in ways unsat-

FIonders-McCorthy

Senator Flanders of Vermont be-
lieves his Republican Party will gain
votes this fall if it disassociates itself
from Republican Senator Mccarthy
of Wisconsin. But good number Of
Republicans believe Senator Nc
Carthy can be an asset to the ticket
land almost all Republicans feel q
showdown on Senator Mccarthy
will split the party wide open.
These varying points of view tan
gled in the Senate last week and are
due to tangle again, more decisively.
on Tuesday.
Doomed Resolution
The issue as last week opened was
a resolution by Senator Flanders to
deprive Senator Mccarthy OF his
Craftsmanship Of the Government
Operations Committee. Senate Ma
jority Leader Knowland. whose job
it is to hold the party together, said
he would permit the resolution to
come to the floor but would move
Immediately to send it back to COM
would kill 1t for this year, but would
preserve harmony and would re-
affirm the sacred Senate tradition Of
solon's right by seniority to COM
nittee Craftsmanship.
Senator Flanders admitted late in
the week his resolution would lose.
So he said he would change his tao
tics. He would ask only that Sena-
tor Mccarthy be censured for his
personal contempt for his
peers"
The modified move, If brought to
a vote, should gain more support,
but chances for approval were not
good. Democrats, as a party. had
not decided how to handle the STU
alton, and Senator Flanders was
known to have the votes Of only O
small minority of Republicans.
Meanwhile Senator Mccarthy
continued to demonstrate the quail
ties which had made him unpopular.
He called a meeting of his investi-
eating subcommittee, the first since
the Army Mccarthy hearings and
the Mccarthy vacation, and refused
to honor a proxy vote by Democrat
Mcclellan of Arkansas. Senator Nc
Clellan was home campaigning for
his primary election. AS is Senate
custom, he wrote note telling
colleague, Stuart Symington of Mis-
souri,, to cast his vote in favor of Q
committee staff housekeeping.
But contrary to Senate, custom,
Senator Mccarthy refused to accept
the proxy vote, and the houseclean-
ing move was stalled
New Try Tuesday
It is scheduled to be tried again
on Tuesday, and Senator Mcclellan
either will be present or will forward
a new, more specific, proxy.
AS the Mccarthy fracas contin-
ued, Congressman from both houses
paraded before the Senate Rules
group to recommend changes in
committee rules-changes designed
to end the type Of abuses demon
strated in the past by the Mccarthy
committee.

plan for Government-financed med
ical care. The Truman plan never
got of the ground, but it always was
one Of the important planks IN the
Fair DEAL program. ss4s.t5sr-s
When the new administration
took over, President Eisenhower
conceded that q large number Of
persons cannot pay for serious i'll
nesses without help, but he rejected
the Truman plan as "socialistic.
Instead he proposed that the Gov
eminent help private insurance
companies expand their medical
programs to provide service for some
So million persons not now covered
and to increase protection for the
80 million persons who now have
some insurance. The President
wanted to do this by setting up a
$25 million fund which would be
used to ENSURE" private companies
against abnormal loss.
Last week the Eisenhower plan
came to q vote in the House. It
lost because of almost solid OPPOSE
ton from the Democrats.
The vote was 238 to 134 against
the bill. Democrats who claimed the
bill did too little joined Democrats
and Republicans who said 1t did
too much and killed the bill for this
year. Voting for the measure were
IA Democrats and 100 Republicans,
against 1852 Democrats, rs Repub-
licans and one independent.
FomiIior Reaction
President Eisenhower's reaction to
the setback for his medical plan
was just about the same as the reac-
ton President Truman used to show.
He squared his jaw at last weeks
press conference and raped on his
desk as he said:
Il am sure that the people that
voted against this bill just don't
understand what are the facts Of
American life. ] don't consider that
any one lost yesterday except the

of a farm price support bill. Last
week the hurdle was raised little
higher.
The Senate Agriculture Commit
tee finished work on 3 bill which
was not at ali to the liking of
President Eisenhower and his Capt.
toll Hill hackers. The committee
measure would provide for another
year of high 600 per cent Of parity
rigid price supports on basic COM
modities instead Of lower, flexible
supports as requested by the Presi-
dent. It also would require supports
at IS per cent for butter, reduced
recently by the Secretary of Agri-
culture to rs per cent in order to
cut down on overproduction. And
it would add three more crops to
the mandatory price support list.
President Eisenhower criticized
the committee bill and urged Sem
ators to return to his program dur
ing floor action, expected this week.

Foreign Aid

The administration luck was still
holding strong last week on the all
ways-ticklish job of getting strong
foreign aid bill through Congress. In
fact the outlook after the Senate
Foreign Relations Committees APP
prevail was for a final authorization
that would largely satisfy admin
istration leaders.
President Eisenhower asked for
$3.448, zoo. 900 in foreign aid for the
current fiscal year. The House re-
duced that sum by about 500 mil
lion. The Senate committee last
week took off another $240 million.
There was no large movement for
further cuts, however, so the adj
ministration expected a final au-
thorization of perhaps little more
than $3.1 billion. Cuts could be
made again in the appropriation bill
to follow, but there have been no in
dications they viii be substantial.
The reductions voted so far would
loom larger If the Foreign Operations
Administration did not have large.

Atomic

The pending bill to revise the
Atomic Energy Act Is considered Of
major Importance to the world as
well as the Nation. For it would
give friendly countries more access
to atomic power and weapons secrets
and would permit private develop
ment of atomic power in this coun-
try.
But the bill stalled last week in
Senate debate over side issue. A
Democratic group objected at length
to a recent presidential order to the
Atomic Energy Commission to buy
private power for the Tennessee
Valley Authority as replacement for
IVA power sold the Acc.
The Democrats said the order was
give-away to private interests,
would waste money, and probably
was illegal. Republicans said it was
merely an attempt to let private
enterprise perform its normal func-,
ton.
