Today
In
Congress

Members of Congress show
deepening concern over possible
involvement of United States
fighting forces in the Indo-C China
war. Successive statements by
President Eisenhower indicate
an increasing possibility that
Americans eventually will fight
there.
overlapping - The House is
locked in a fight over whether
the Attorney General should be
given unrestricted authority to
order wires tapped to gather
evidence in cases involving ma
tional security. This is what
the Eisenhower administration
wants, but most Democrats and
some Republicans back a pro-
posal to require the Attorney
General to get a court order
first.
Taxes-Two Senate opponents
of further income tax cuts give
a chilly reception to a proposal
by Senator Frear. Democrat, of
Delaware to impose a SIS or $40
annual head tax" on all per-
sons who would be relieved of
Federal income tax obligations
under a Democratic proposal to
boost : personal income tax
exemptions.
Mccarthy - Barring further
complications, public, televised
Senate hearings on the row be-
tween Senator Mccarthy and
high Army officials should get
underway April 81. The Senate
Investigations subcommittee yes
terday approved Ray H. Jenkins,
a Knoxville, Tenn. lawyer. as
its special counsel.
Files The Senate Internal
Security subcommittee looks into
reported destruction of some
naval intelligence files on Com
munist activities. Chairman
Jenner says there was a White
House order in 1914 for disposal
of certain files.

Luxembourg Fourth
To Approve Edo

LUXEMBOURG, April 8.-The
European Army plan had cleared
four out of six parliamentary
hurdles today but the highest
still appeared ahead, and prob
ably far ahead.
Tiny Luxembourg became the
fourth nation to approve the
European Defense Community
treaty last night when the grand
duchy's one-horse assembly rati-
fled it 1914. The parliament's
four Communist deputies cast
the only votes against it.
Others approving the six-na-
ton pact so far are Belgium.
The Netherlands and West Ger
many.
Italy and France have yet to
act. The measure was intro
duced in the Italian Chamber of
Deputies Tuesday, but no vote is
expected until the fall, after
parliament's long summer vaca-
ton Committee study will take
at least a month. Then debate,
and perhaps Communist fill
buster, will consume time in
both the lower chamber and
senate.
A date has not even been set
for debate in the French Cham
Der of Deputies, where opposi-
ton is strong from both the
right and left.
In contrast, it took only one
day for the Luxembourg house
to approve the EDO. Premier
Foreign Minister Joseph Bech
opened debate yesterday morn
ing. The vote of approval came
late in the day.

In British Guiana
BY The Associosed Press

GEORGETOWN, British Gui-
ana, April 8.-The situation in
this British South American
colony appeared to deteriorate
today as police hardened their
breakdown on demonstrators
protesting the arrest of ousted
Premier Cheddi Jagan, leader
of the leftist Peoples Progress

Tension mounted as party
leaders stepped up their calls
for a civil disobediance cam

current emergency police used
tear gas last night to break UP

on charges of holding an illegal

government was ousted last Oc-

would apply for Supreme Court
writ demanding the authorities
show cause why bail should not
be granted. The case is sched-

Jagan's arrest touched off in
dustrial unrest and threats of
more to follow. Labor gangs be-
longing to the Georgetown Mu-

out yesterday. The strike was
orderly. A few hundred workers
in British Guiana's IA sugar CEN
tiers also were reported on strike.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 8.-The United Nations
Security Council turned today to
a debate that may lead to a
general review of murderous
1sraeli-Arab border raids in
Palestine.
The council agenda listed
rival Lebanese and Israeli COM
plants but Western members
hoped to lump them together
as one item.
Council president for this
month is Andrei Y. Vishinsky of
the Soviet Union. who twice this
year has vetoed Western-backed
Palestine resolutions that the
Arabs disliked.
Two ambassadors to the
United StateS-Abdul Monem

senting the two countries most
concerned in the debate. Neither

Had Wide Influence.
One critic said Mr.. Tumulty's
influence with the President was
greater for more years-greater
in quantity, that is-than that
of any other man."
He was credited with selecting
at least one cabinet member,
Lindley Garrison, a New Jersey
attorney, as Secretary of War.
Mr.. Tumulty explained he want
ed a New Jersey man in the
Cabinet, and his choice was
quickly approved.
Mr.. Wilson relied on his astute
secretary almost entirely for po-
litical advice and in patronage
matters.
He also found him a boon less
off1cially-aS a light-hearted ex-
ponent of the good story. one
who mixed with legislators and
diplomats and made friends
easily. AS a companion, he could
argue baseball or current affairs
He was good as an entertainer
for Mr.. Wilson's guests-some
called him a veritable Barry
more.
Defends Self in Book.
Mr.. Tumulty capped his ex-
perience with the President with
a book, Woodrow Wilson as
Know Him"
One of his last sallies into
public print was a defense of his
own career, an apparently re-
luctant reply to a passage in
Mrs. Wilson's Memoir"
She recounted an occasion or
which Mr.. Tumulty in 1922 gave
to a Democratic dinner in New
York a message from the former
President which. she said. was
unauthorized as an Endorsement
of James M. Cox for a SECOND
Democratic nomination fol
President.
She quoted Mr.. Wilson as say
ing then, 1T is not the frs
time he has done things Xix,
this. and now it is better TO
him to take his medicine"
Stung by the remarks, Mr.
Tumulty did not go to the Wilson
home for 10 months, and thei
only the day before Mr.. Wilson
died.
Resumes Law Practice.
/ Mr.. Tumulty later defende,
himself with a magazine stor
quoting from a letter from MI
Wilson, year and a half afte
the incident, suggesting MI
Tumulty as a candidate for tn
United States Senate.
After Mr.. Wilson's death, MI
Tumulty resumed his law prac
tice in Washington. He becam
active in civic affairs, serving a
a leader in the Community Ches

many public appeals.
In 1882 he showed his loyalt,
to Mr.. Wilson by charging tina

of Woodrow Wilson" He re

President EiSenhower'S sue
cessive statements indicate an
increasing possibility that Amer
leans eventually will fight in
Indo- China.
The turn seems to have come
in the last month.
On February 10, Gen. EiSen-
hover said American involve
ment in a war in Southeast
Asia would be a tragedy. Last
Wednesday. he said it would
be to Americas disadvantage.
Yesterday, when asked how far
the United States would go to
save the area. he said the whole
troublesome question is under
study-but the United States
must do what is necessary.
Position Weakens.
Gen. Eisenhower's adamant
attitude against the use of
United States troops appears to
have weakened as the admins
tration mas pressed a campaign
to alert the American people
to the dangers of a Communist
conquest of Indo-C China and the
rest of Southeast Asia.
Secretary Of State Dulles
started the full-blown campaign
March 80 when he told a radio.
television audience that the fret
world must take united action
against the danger of a Chimes
aggression in Southeast Asia.
Since then, Secretary Dulle!
has consulted diplomats from
nine countries about possible
united action"

ton has not gone so far as to de.
eide whether to prepare to USE
land. sea or air forces-or maybe
all three.
McCarran Fears HOstilities.
Anxiety increased on Capito
Hill.
Senator McCarran, Democrat
of Nevada told the Associated
Press in an interview:

and air forces now it woulc

only bring the Chinese Com
munists in force and then I don't
see how we could avoid sending
troops"
The Senator added. '.It looks
to me as If we are on the edge
of war there (Indo- China)."
Senator III. Alexander Smith,
Republican. Of New Jersey and
chairman Of a Senate Foreign
Relations subcommittee on the
Far East. said in a separate in
terview:
I'm case of crisis there we
may need to use naval power and
undoubtedly air power. ! don't
think anything we are doing
now .contemplates employing
American manpower in Asia, but
quite conceivably it calls for air
and naval power"
Senator Smith, it was learned,
conferred secretly yesterday with
Secretary Dulles.
Official worrying here seems
to center more and more on the
possibility of a Communist con-
quest by means of political rebels
such as the Wet Minh-rather
than through an unabashed ag-
gression by the Chinese Reds.
Secretary Dulles himself has
added the statement that the
free world must guard against
losing Southeast Asia by what
ever means.
The administrations increas-
ing determination to thwart
the Reds is reflected in Gen.
Eisenhower's successive state
ments at news conferences.
On February 10, a reporter
tried to sound out the President
on the possible use of American
troops in Southeast Asia.
Gen. Eisenhower replied en-
phatically that no one could be
more bitterly opposed to ever
getting the United States in
volved in a hot war in that region
than he was. He said he could
not conceive Of a greater tragedy
for America than to get heavily
involved now in an about war
in any of those regions, particu-
larly with large units.
Answer Unchanged.
A week ago, reporter again
asked Gen. Eisenhower about
the possible use of troops. Gen.
Eisenhower replied that he had
said time and again that he can
conceive of no greater dis
advantage to America than to
be employing its own ground
| forces and any other kind of
forces in great numbers around
the world meeting each little
situation as it arises.
Yesterday, he was asked what
action the United States is pre-
pared to take should the Chinese
Communists strike at Southeast
Asia in open warfare.
The President was asked
specifically whether the United
States was prepared to go-it-
alone in Indo-C China as a last
resort. He replied that he has
his own personal convictions.
But he is not going to air them
everywhere because that would
tend to stultify negotiations with
orr allies.

Chinese in Formosa
Called Restraining
Influence on Reds
By the Associated Press

The head of the foreign mill
tary aid program told Congress
today the Chinese Nationalist
forces on Formosa "act as q re-
straining influence against any
aggressive designs of the Com
munist Chinese forces"
Mai. Gen. George C.. Stewart
pointed to the Nationalist flank
position eastward of Red China.
But Gen. Stewart did not
elaborate this point in formal
statement to the House Foreign
Affairs Committee. explaining
the administrations request for
$1,580,O0O to continue arming
allies until mid-1955. This is
part of the Presidents new $3.5
billion foreign aid program.
Close to Aggression.
Secretary of State Dulles told
the committee Monday the Red
Chinese, firing anti-aircraft guns
in Indo- China, ARE coming
awful close" to aggression there
that might bring retaliation
against the Chinese mainland.
Since then, the United States
has consulted several allies to
sound out the possibility of an
international warning against
further Chinese Communist ag-
erosion in Indo-China. For
mosa has not been identified as
one of these allies.
Gen. Stewart told the commit
tee that the multi-million dol
lar program to train and equip
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek' S
FormoSa troops has brought
them close to a point where they
would be "a significant deterrent
to any Chinese Communist in
tention to invade Taiwan (For-
mosa)."
These forces" he added, 90
Gated as they are on the eastern
flank Of Central China, act as

uation of the bitter battle in
that Southeast Asia area lis pos
sible only as a result of the as
Sistance received from the United
States
Senator Stewart said the
United States has shipped or
earmarked for it's global allies
more than 1000 carrier and
land biased fighters and fighter
bombers, the vast majority of
them jets. He said aircraft
procurement would drop next
year, except for all-weather jet
fighters.
He listed more than $4,000
light and medium tanks, more
than 100000 transport vehicles
and hundreds of thousands of
small arms in supplies sent to or
programmed for friends abroad.
The general said that from
the military standpoint there
has been no undue hardship"
yet from the law, enacted last
year, Withholding so per cent of
arms earmarked for Europe
until the six-nation European
Defense Community (EDC) is
ratified.
He said this will cause storage
and administrative complica-
tions in the future, an implica-
ton that the restriction has not
caused any production cutback.

Harris of the Senators, in a
measure, were determined by
a line drive in Cleveland
August 8, 1913. That blast,
by since-forgotten Hal Peck,
fractured Bob's right index
finger. He was yanked in the
seventh inning with a 10
lead, the Yankees ultimately
lost, 81, and Porterfleld was
forced to miss several turns
on the mound.
Harris, then managing the
Yankees, had been involved
in a wrangle with General
Manager George Weiss of the
champions. Porterfield, a
sensation with Newark. was
the center of the storm.

thing but championship clubs
since.
Except for Peck's finger
busting line drive, Harris
today might still. be manager
of the Yankees, with seven
consecutive championships to
his credit and with Porterfield
as his ace. 1t was a blow to
Bucky and Bob, but it worked
out nicely for Washington
fans. Griffith rescued Harris
from San Diego, and Bucky in
turn rescued Porterfield from
Kansas City, where the Yam
KEGS had dispatched him.
It worked out Superbly for
Stengel, too. He came back
from the minor leagues and

Senate Probe Of Mccarthy Army
 Row Hoped For

WASHINGTON, LP>-Sen. Mundt R-SD) said Thursday he still hopes to launch next week a pub lie Senate investigation of the heated row between Sen. McCar- thy and top Army officials.
 Mundt outlined a quick-paced schedule he wants to follow as presiding officer of the inquiry.
 It calls for swift selection of a special counsel and agreement on ground rules under which the Senate Investigations Subcommit- tee will look into:
 l. An Army report backed by Secretary Stevens accusing Me Carthy and his chief counsel, Roy VI. Cohn, of trying to get favored treatment for Pvt. c. David Schine, an unpaid subcommittee aide until he was drafted last fall.
 2. Return accusations by Me Carthy and Cohn that Stevens and his associates tried to 'fblack- mail" the committee into drop ping it's inquiry into alleged Com munists in the Army by using Schine as a hostage" Stevens replied that the charge was fan tastic"
 Mundt told reporters he is thinking in terms of five busy days of taking testimony, declar- ing, T can't see anything in the picture now that would take longer"
 Still awaiting decision in writ ing the ground rules is the exact. role Mccarthy may play when his subcommittee, under Mundt's temporary chairmanship, starts the inquiry.

ANCHORAGE, R-T Two men who police say already have ad- mitted the crimes, were charged today with two counts of armed robery, larceny from hotel, stealing an automobile and being ex convicts carrying weapons which could be concealed. Of ficers said they admitted holdups in both Anchorage and Fair banks.
 The charges were preferred against Ercell Goodman, 22 a pa rolee from Texas, and Charles Joseph LeMay, 25, who said he has served 1912 years in various penitentiaries in the States.
