Wiley and Mansfield
See Speedy Approval
OF Formosan Treaty
BY ]. A. O'Leory

Two members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
Committee predicted today the
Senate will give speedy approval
to the Mutual Defense Pact with
Fotmosa IN January.
Senators Wiley, Republican Of
Wisconsin, and Mansfield. Demo-
crat of Montana, agreed that
Russian demands for the with
drawal Of American forces from
FofrnoSa will not deter the SEN
ate from ratifying the treaty the
Eisenhower administration re-
Gently negotiated with National
ist President Chang Kai-shek.
Senator Wiley, who will re-
main as the ranking minority
member Of the committee after
the Democrats organize the new
Congress, pointed out that Amer
ican military experts have de-
cided that Forn1osa is one Of
the pivotal points in this
country's chain Of defenses
stretching from Alaska to New
Zealand.
Americans Welcome.
= Furthermore" said Senator
Wiley, I'VE are In FormoSa with
the consent Of the people. The
Russians are not In Poland and
other parts OF Eastern Europe
with the consent Of the populace,
but by force.
II am satisfied that If the
question was left to an election
in FormoSa the decision would
be in favor of our remaining,
whereas in Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia and even In North Korea
free elections would go against
the Communists.
Senator Humphrey. Democrat,
of Minnesota, another Foreign
Relations Committee member,
termed the Russian demand for
American abandonment of For
mosa an attempt to disguise
the Kremlin's own perfldy and
.ss own violations of postwar
agreements"
Still another committeeman,
Senator Green, Democrat, Of
Rhode Island, agreed Formosa
is an essential element in this
country's Pacific defenses.
The Formosan agreement is
one of three major treaties due
for early consideration by the
Senate. The other two are: !
The Southeast Asia Defense
Pact, and the PARISH London

Order Of Business.
Indications are that the Sem
ate will take up the Southeast
Asia Pact and the treaty with
Formosa first to give France.
England and Germany a chance
to act first on the integrated de-
Tense plans for Western Europe.
Senator Mansfield said the ini-
tial responsibility ought to rest
with the European powers on the
German question because that
treaty is intended primarily to
solve a European problem.
Meanwhile, Senator Stennis.
Democrat, Of Mississippi. came
out in favor Of developing trade
in non-strategic items between
the East and the West.
Stennis' Position.
1--WE must keep our military
strength up and our powder
dry" said Senator Stennis. but
the real contest for the next 10
years will be a worldwide trade
war that we must win. Germany
does not trust Russia. but RUS
sia offers Germany what she
needs now-export trade to East
ern Europe, Russia and China.
Japan does not trust Red China,
but Japan needs trade that can
come from Red China and from
Russia. Should Germany join
with Russia, then Europe is lost.
Should Japan join with Russia
and Red China, all Asia is lost.
This Is not a hopeless picture,
but it emphasizes that we should
build stronger trade relations
every place possible. and should
develop trade with South Amer
lea by all means
Senator Stennis said Japan is
the key to the situation in Asia
and that whichever way Japan
goes the Pacific region is likely
to go.

Not Enough Teeth
In Mans Claim,
Smithsonian Says

George j. Chesky of Silver

The Smithsonian Institution,
however. is just as convinced he's
about 20 years off in his claim.
The center of the disagreement

Mr.. Chesky called Star Pho

port that the denture in that

Fear Factor Cited
In Search by Police;
Conviction Reversed

Consent given to a policeman
to search a room may be based
on fear and is not necessarily
voluntary. the U. S. Court of
Appeals for the District held to-
day.
The ruling set aside the con-
viction of a Washington man
on charges of unlawfully
possessing marijuana.
The court held that the trial
court should have granted a
defense motion to suppress as
evidence marijuana seized in the
search which was made without
a warrant. The defendant,
Thomas Higgins. subsequently
was convicted and sentenced to
serve two to six years.
During argument on the mo-
ton to suppress, in the lower
court. policemen testified that
they identified themselves to
Higgins. who, they said. denied
he was engaged in narcotics traf-
fic. They testified he acquiesed
when they asked if they could
search his room. The evidence
was found during the search.
Today the appellate court
held: words or acts that would
show consent in some circum-
stances do not show it in others"
The court declared that if a
valid confession precedes a
search by police permission may
show true consent to the search"
But the court continued, say
I ing: IS. s.. No sane man who de-
MES his guilt would actually be
willing that policeman search his
room for contraband which is
certain to be discovered :"
The appeal was argued in Hig-
gins behalf by Attorneys Will
liam Beasley Harris and Curtis
P. Mitchell.

Virginia Budget
Still Carries
Parkway Fund
Unspent Item Of
$780, 900 Is Good
For z More Years
BY Alex R. Preston
Star Stan Correspondent

RICHMOND. Jan. 28.-Dele-
gate John c. Webb of Fairfax
disclosed today that the $748
million budget bill carries over
for two more years an unspent
appropriation for the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
at Washington.
Mr.. Webb, q member Of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee. which is meeting daily on
the budget bill. said an item Of
$4,000, which has not been
spent because Of the failure of
Congress to provide funds, is
included in the bill.
The item represents one
fourth the cost for acquiring
rishts-of-way, contingent on Ar
lingt0n and Fairfax Counties
putting up one-fourth and Con-
gress putting up one-half. The
Federal Government pays the
whole cost of building the road
ways.
The parkway now extends
along the Potomac River from
Mount Vernon upstream to Key
Bridge to connect with Spout
Run parkway. Most of the
rights-of-way carrying the prof.
ect the rest Of the way through
Arlington to the Fairfax County
line have been obtained, but
about $50, 900 more Of State funds
are needed to complete the pro-
gram. The remaining 100000
OF the States share would be
used to match Fairfax County
and Federal funds to extend the
parkway beyond the county line.
LAS member of the Appro-
priations Committee" Mr.. Webb
said. II intend to do everything
l can to keep that item in the
budget bill. / am very much
interested in seeing that the
State does its part so that it can
not be said to Congress that we
are not interested on this side
of the river"
