A new award, for the most i'm

PARIS.-Looking forward to
the Big Five conference in
Geneva. some large and perhaps
dangerous differences between
the French and American points
of view are showing up.
The American point Of view
as it was outlined the other day
by Secretary of State Dulles
sounds both belligerent and de-
featiSt at this distance. While
Mr.. Dulles doesn't wholly ex-
clude the idea that the Soviet
Union might in fact want peace
in Asia" he is nevertheless re-
signed to the possibility OF
another unproductive verbal bat
tie before the bar of world
opinion" Most particularly, he
is making it plain that no change
in Red China's international
status is in prospect, so far as
the United States is concerned.
Deeply sympathetic as they
are with the political problems
of foreign ministers, many
Frenchmen find this approach
disappointing. There is no
great concern over the probability
that a political conference on
Korea may end in failure. But

Eisenhower Urges Fair Probes>
Does Not Mention Mccarthy;
Senator Charges 'Muds|inging
Eisenhower VS.. Mccarthy:
Texts of Two Statements

The tert of a statement issued
by Senator Mccarthy today
following President Eisen-
hoUer's ne1Os conference:
1t is important to remember
that this silly tempest in a
teapot arose because we dared
to bring to light the cold, I'M
pleasant facts about a fifth
amendment Communist Army
officer who was promoted,
given special immunity from
duty outside the United States.
and finally given an honorable
discharge with the full knowl-
edge of all concerned that he
was a member of the Commu-
mist Party. 1t now appears
that for some reason he was a
sacred cow of certain Army
brass.
A continued exchange of
statements about our exposure
of this fifth amendment Com
muniSt Army officer is worse
than ridiculous. I stated last
night that / will take no
further part in this pointless
waste of time. Rather, I shall
spend my time in action-in
continued exposure of those
who are dedicated to the Com
munist enslavement of the
world.
If a stupid. arrogant, or wit
less man in a position of power
appears before our committee
and is found aiding the Com
munist Party. he will be ex-
posed. The fact that he might
be a general places him in no
special class as far as I am
concerned.
Apparently the President
and / now agree on the neces-
Sity of getting rid of Commu-
nists. We apparently disagree
only on how we should handle
those who protect Commu-
niStS.
/ hope that the President
realizes the reason for the glee-
full shouting of every un-
American element over what
they consider a fight between
those who honestly oppose
communism.
I think that their joy will be
short-lived. When the shout
ing and the tumult dies the
American people and the Presi-
dent will realize that this I'M
precedented mud singing
against the committee by ex-
IRENE left-wing elements of
press and radio was caused
because another fifth amend
ment Communist in Govern
ment was finally dug out of
the dark recesSes and exposed
to public view.

Responsibility Rests
With the President

Here I must repeat some
thing that l have often stated
before. The ultimate respon-
sibility for the conduct of all
parts of the executive branch
of the Government rests with
the President of the United
States. That responsibility can
not be delegated to another
branch of Government. 1t is,
OF course. likewise the respon-
sibility of the President and
his associates to account for
their. stewardship of public af-
fairs. All of us recognize the
right of the people to know
how we are meeting this re-
SponSibility and the congress
Sional right to inquire and in
vestigate into every phase of
our public operations.
Manifestly, in a government
such as ours. successful serv-
ice to 100 million people de-
mandS a true--spirit of CO.
operation among the several
branches of Government, espe-
cially between the Executive
and the Legislative branches.
Real cooperation is possible
only in an atmosphere of MIL
tual respect.
l spent many years in the
Army, during the course of
which I sometimes appeared
before committees of the Con-
gress. In all that time 1
never saw any individual of
the Army fail to render due
and complete respect to every
member of Congress with
whom duty brought him in
contact. In all that time, 1
never saw any member of
Congress guilty of disrespect
toward the public servants who
were appearing before him.
In the tradition of such mu-
tual respect I grew up in the
governmental service. It is
that tradition that I intend
that the Executive Branch will
observe and apply as long as
] hold my present Office.
I have only a few additional
comments. They are made in
the belief that they conform
to the conscience of the
American people and to our
understanding of justice, right
and governmental RESPONSE
bility.

Danes Dig Treasure Tomb

COPENHAGEN. Mar. 3 (NA

parable in size to those of the

atomic bomb attacks has been
carved into hillside a few miles

The Danes would move their

would be protected by 20-inch-
thick steel and cement walls and

Caesars. and clothing from the
Bronze Age.
Building of the hillside cave
is the most spectacular action
the Danes have taken in their
current effort to provide under
ground space-for humans as
well as wealth-that would be
used in wartime. Since the
Danish Civil Defense Directorate
started work in 1850. some $14
million has been used for the
pres ective projects, about one
tenth of what Denmark has
spent of its own money on mil
itary defense.
Now being considered is an ap-
plication for 100000 for initial
steps toward construction of
underground shelters for 500, 1000
persons in the cities. The new
civilian shelters will be built
with q peaceful as well as war
purpose providing garage room
to relieve the nations intense
traffic problems.

Committee Lifts Excise Tax
On College Sports Tickets
House Democrats Defeated in Several
Moves to Reduce Levies on Other Items

The House Ways and Means
Committee today voted to remove
excise taxes on admissions to all
college sports events. The COM
mittee, however, beat down Dem
ocratic attempts to make still
further SlaSheS in excise taxes on
numerous other items or services.
Heading toward approval of a
bill to cut excise taxes by almost
81 billion year on a wide range
of items. the committee en-
countered unexpected delay at a
long morning session because of
the Democratic amendment eff
forts. The bill introduced yes
terday by Committee Chairman
Reed. however. was expected to
be approved almost unanimously
late today and reported to the
House for action probably early
next week.
Other Levies Continued.
Besides providing cuts in ex-
cises on more than a score of
products or services. the bill also
would continue similar leyies
which otherwise. would expire

FOLLOWING is the tert OF a
statement President Eisenhower
read at his ne1DS conference
today:
I want first to make a few
comments about the PeresS
case.
l. The Department of the
Army made serious errors in
handling the Peress case and
the Secretary of the Army so
stated publicly. almost a
month ago.
2. The Army IS correcting
its procedures to avoid such
mistakes in the future. I am
completely confident that Sec
rotary Stevens will be succeSSA
full in this effort.
3. Neither in this case. nor in
any other, has any person in
the Executive branch been au-
thorized to suggest that any
subordinate, for any reason
whatsoever, violate his convic-
lions or principles or submit to
any kind of personal humilia-
ton when teStifying befor con-
gressional committees or else
where.
In a more general sense I
have certain observations to
make. They are:
!. We must be increasingly
vigilant in every phase of gov
ernmental activity to make
certain that there is no sub
versive penetration.
2. In opposing communism.
we are defeating ourselves if
either by design or through
carelessness. We use methods
that do not conform to the
American sense of justice and
fair play.
3. The conscience of America
will clearly discern when we
are exercising proper vigilance
without being unfair. That
conscience is reflected in the
body of the United States Con-
gress. We can be certain that
its members will respond to
Americas convictions and be-
liefs in this regard.

Nation Owes Debt
To Military Services

First, all of us know that
our military services and their
leaders have always been COM
pletely loyal and dedicated
public servants, singularly free
of suspicion of disloyalty. Their
courage and their devotion
have been proved in peace as
well as on the battlefields Of
war. America is proud of
them / am certain that no
one in any governmental posi-
ton wants to have his own
utterances interpreted as ques-
tioning the lasting debt that
all of us as Americans owe to
the officers and enlisted men
and women of the armed serv-
ices. In this tribute to the
services, I mean to include
Gen. wicker, who was deco
rated for gallantry in the field.

ciSeS.
A Democratic move to exempt
all admissions charges up to so
cents was defeated. Is to IL. A
similar move to take the excise
tax of of motion picture theater
admissions lost on a tie vote.
1912. The Reed bill would cut
from 20 to 10 per cent the adj
missions tax on theaters and
other entertainments. In gen.
eral. the bill would cut excise
taxes down to 10 per cent where
they now range from Is to Is per
cent.
Other Moves Defeated.
Other Democratic amendment
attempts which were defeated
at the morning sessions in
cluded:
Proposals to remove such taxes
on watches priced under SOS and
clocks under SIS, taxes on wom-
ems handbags. on night club
charges and on hot-water
heaters. The committee was re-
ported to have tentatively ap-
proved the bills provisions for
reduction of taxes on the speci-
fed retail products, but had not
yet taken action on sections deal
ing with taxes on telephone calls,
kilograms and transportation
tickets.

interests of the Nation demand

interests of the Nation demand
otherwise. every governmental
employe in the executive
branch, whether civilian or in
the armed forces, is expected
to respond cheerfully and COM
pletely to the requests of the
Congress and its several COM
mitteeS. In doing so it is, of
course. assumed that they will
be accorded the same respect
and courtesy that / require
that they show to the members
of the legislative body. OFF,
Gals in the executive branch
of the Government will have
my unqualified support in in
sisting that employees in the
executive branch who appear
before any type of executive
or congressional investigative
body be treated fairly.
Third. Obviously, it is the
responsibility of Congress to
see to 1t that its procedures are
proper and fair. I, of course.
expect the Republican men,
bership of the Congress to as
sumo the primary responsible
lty in this respect. since they
are of the majority party. and,
therefore. control the COM
mittees. I am glad to state
that Senator Knowland has
reported to me that effective
steps are being taken by the
Republican leadership to set
up codes of fair procedures.
Fourth. There are problems,
facing this Nation today of
vital Importance. They are
both foreign and domestic in
character. They affect the
individual and collective flu
ture of all of us. They deserve
the undivided and incessant
attention of the Congress, of
the executive branch of the
public information media of
our Nation. of our schools, anc
even of our churches. I re-
gard it as unfortunate when
we are diverted from these
grave problems-of which one
is vigilance against any kind
OF internal subversion-through
disregard of the standards of
fair play recognized by the
American people. These Incl
dents are all the more useless
and unfortunate in view of
the basic dedication of every
loyal American to the preser-
walton and advancement of
Americas safety, prosperity
and well-being.
