CENTRAL AMERICAN CANCER

Each week, it seems brings some new Ominous de-
veopment in Guatemala. The latest Communist tack
employed there the Guatemaan Governments ex-
pulsion of two newsmen, whom the Guatemalans ac-
cused of untruhfu reporting. That is the Guatemaan
way of saying they were reporting the truth
This followed only shortly the accusation from the
GuatemaIan presidency that the United States has
tered into conspiracy with Central American countries
to overthrow the Government of Guatemala.
There little doubt but that the United States would
like to see the present Government of Guatemala
thrown since it is proCommunist in its sympathies and
constitutes threat to the solidarity of this hemis-
phere Moreover, the Communists using this coun-
rys benevoence develop operations in other Central
American countries and to attempt to bring about other
Communist governments in this area.
We have called attention to this before and call
attention to it again. only point out that vigorous mea-
may be necessary the part of the United States
Government If very dangerous situation is prevented
from developing in this While do not believe in
shaking big stick and interfering in the affairs of
smaller friends to the South it is possible for point to
be reached where vigorous support of opposition
movement would be completely justified.
The American people might as we'll know the real
facts and understand the real nature of the threat

KnowIand Prefers
No Farm Bill Action
To 1-Year Extension
By Gould Lincoln

Senate Majority Leader Know
land said today he would prefer
to see no farm bill passed at
this session of Congress rather
than have a one years extension
of rigid price supports.
The Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton is backing a flexible system
of supports, while the farm bloc
in Congress is exerting every eff
fort to hold on to fixed supports
for six basic commodities, at 80
per cent of parity.
Senator Knowland pointed out.
that if there is no farm bill put
through. the country will 60 to
a system of flexible price sup
ports-from IS per cent to 80 per
cent of parity-under the pro-
visions of the 1949 Agricultural
Act.
Compromise" Suggested.
It was suggested to Senator
Knowland that members of the
farm bloc might be willing to
compromise on a single years
retention of the fixed price
supports.
II don't think a years extern
sion of the fixed, high price sup
ports is a compromise" Senator
Knowland said. mo legislation
would be preferable in my opin-
ion."
The California Republican
frankly said he did not believe
that the House Agriculture
Committee would produce a bill
that conformed to President
Eisenhower's recommendations,
or that the House would pass
such a bill, if it sticks to it's
present attitude. He was asked
if he could beat a farm bill in
the Senate which provided for a
one-year extension of the fixed
support program.

Senate, I can't make any predic-
tion," he replied. Perhaps a
formula for an acceptable COM
promise will be worked out. I
haven't seen any yet"
House Action Awaited.
The Senate is waiting to see
what the House will do about a
farm bill. Chairman Hope of
the Agriculture Committee has
expressed the belief his group
will report a bill in the next 10
days or two weeks.
Senator Knowland said that
Chairman Aiken of the Agricul-
ture Committee has informed
him there are several bills for the
aid of farmers ready for action,
to be called up soon.

TEST CASE-Oral arguments
Of the Leo A. Roth test" firing
case will be heard Wednesday
before a three-judge tribunal of
the United States Court of Ap-
peals. The case involves the right
of the Government to fire sum-
marily career employees who are
transferred to non-civil service
(excepted) jobs. The u. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia held that the Govern
ment has this power. Mr.. Roth,
a former Justice Department at
torney. contends that once an
employe secures career status he
is entitled to the job procedural
safeguards of the Lloyd-Follette
Act.
PAY PROPOSALS-The 5 per-
cent pay proposal for classified
employees before the House Civil
Service Committee would cost
SPOT million a year. The pay
raise motion of Representative
Broyhill. Republican, of Virginia,
which would add another 500
to the first 10 grades on top of
the administrators 3.5 per cent
average pay reclaSSification plan,
would cost around 1921 million.
1t would provide increases rang
ing from $100 to $500 a year.
The committees final vote on
legislation is expected next
week.
HEARING EXAMINERS-The
Civil Service Commission has
announced that a survey it made
of hearing examiner jobs in four
Federal agencies will result in
142 of the jobs being upgraded
by one to two grades. The csc

leaders will declare that Govern
ment workers should not be
asked to contribute part of their
salaries for the benefits.
A lot of other objections will
be offered, among them the
fact that the unions weren't
consulted on the plan and that
some of the details are not clear
or workable.
The committee will be asked
to delay the legislation until
next year. And in all likelihood
the committee will agree to this
request.
OF course, there are other rea-
sons for the unions objections to
the program. that they won't
disclose to the committee. Most
Federal employe groups have
their own life insurance pro-
grams to attract and retain
members. Since the Government
does not allow the checkoff syS-
tenn or the union shop. Federal
employe groups do not have the
power of industrial unions to re-
tain their members. Conse-
quently, they rely to a great
extent on their own group life
insurance programs to keep
their members.
Another reason is the unions
fear that the life insurance plan
might take the edge off the pay
raise drive. One union official
observed: 1.-The Senate Civil
Service Committee hasn't seen
fit to hold Federal pay raise
hearings, despite the fact that
Congress has been in session tor
nearly six months. Yet the group
life insurance hearings were
scheduled only two weeks after
President Eisenhower sent the
plan to Capitol Hill"

India Might Join
Asian-Led Alliance,
US. Envoy States
BY ths Assoeiosed Press

Americas Ambassador to In
dia. George v. Allen, said today
that country might undertake a
defense alliance with its neigh
bors provided it felt Asians were
taking the lead.
Mr.. Allen. former envoy in
such diplomatic hotspots as Iran
and Yugoslavia, stressed India's
strong feeling Of /. nationalism
time and again in a copyrighted
interview in the weekly magazine
U. S. News and World Report.
Would Fight for independence.
After reciting India's refusal
to allow United States planes to
fly over the country with French
troops for Indo- China, Indian
opposition to United States mil
itary aid to Pakistan and other
matters in dispute between In
dia and America, Mr.. Allen said
he is nonetheless certain India
would fight for its own inde-
pendence and my guess is they
would" fight for independent
neighbors like Burma as well.
He said chances for India's
taking part in an Asian defense
system would depend some
what on how it came about"
IF they felt the Oriental pow
ers themselves were leading, and
we were merely backstopping
non-aggression with our power
and resources" he said, II think
that might happen"
Secretary of State Dulles has
been trying to line up a united
front Of about 10 Western and
Asian nations to help stem the
tide of Communist aggression in
Southeast Asia, but India-only
a nominal United Nation con-
tributor during the Korean War
and at odds with the United
States in many phases Of the
cold war" struggle against the
Reds-has not been regarded as
a likely participant.
India's Views on Rhee.
Mr.. Allen. making clear he
was trying to explain the Indian
view rather than his own. said
citizens of the former British
colony feel that because of the
great amount of Western aid to
South Korea they think (Pres-
ident) Syngman Rhee has let
himself become dependent on
the West, despite his lifelong
nationalism."
"Now, it's different with
Burma" Mr.. Allen quoted Indian
friends as saying. That's be-
cause they believe Burma is sue
ceeding in its 7-year-old inde-
pendence largely through its
own efforts, he said.
II think whatever arrange
ments India and the other
countries of that area partici-
pate in would have to be ini-
tiated and led by the Orient
ITSELF" the ambassador said.
He said Indian realization"
of communism's threat to their
country will show itself as the

Wilson Asserts War
Isn't the Answer 10
Reds False Ideas
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S. c., June T.
Secretary of Defense Wilson said
today "a third world war is not
the answer" to the problem of
stopping the spread of COM
munism."
In an address prepared for
the commencement and 150th
anniversary of the University Of
South Carolina, Mr.. Wilson de-
clared: I'VE cannot knock out
false ideas with bullets; we must
counter and destroy them with
the truth, with superior ideas
and sound philosophy"
War No Solution.
In cautioning against attempt
ing to eliminate the Communist
threat by another global con-
f1ict, the Defense Chief said:
Even a victory in such a war
could be purchased only at the
cost Of such horrible waste and
destruction that the course of
human progress would be set
back many decades. And even
after the necessary reconstruc-
tion after such a victory in a
third world war, the free world
would still have the problem of
what to do with the vanquished
and how to establish conditions
of peace in the world"
However, Mr.. Wilson empha.
sized that the United States and
the free world must remain mill
tarily strong. He said that Il
wish I could assure you with con-
fidence that the trend toward
communism had been stopped
everywhere and that there was
no possibility Of general war re-
sulting from the conflict between
Russian communism and the
free world"
Sees Triple Peril.
He said Russian militant COM
munism is a three prom g d
threat:
/. A psychological and propa-
ganda' one involving claims that
the Russian version of commu-
nism is a political and social
system superior to any other in
the world"
2. An economic threat because
the Russian state owns and con-
trolls all productive property and
attempts to destroy the economic
systems of other nations.
3. A military threat because of
the build-up of great power and
because the Russians accept
war and internal subversion as
proper political instruments to
use in doing away with all capi-
taliSt and free societies"
Outlining his ideas on how to
battle communism without bull
lets, Mr.. Wilson said:
Among the policies that must
be subscribed to by all nations
to bring the worlds economic
productivity to the highest pos
sible level are freer exchange of
technical knowledge and produc-
tion know-how, freer access to
raw materials in a world market,

BidauIt and MoIotoV
Have Useful and
Cordial Discussion
BY fhs Assoeiofsd Press

GENEVA, June Z. - French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
and Russia's Vyacheslav M. Mo-
lotov were reported by French
sources to have had q useful"
exchange of views today on
supervision Of the proposed In
do-China cease-f1re.
The two met for so minutes
IN what was described as "a
cordial atmosphere" but were
unable to reach an agreement
on composition Of q commission
TO police the ceaSe-fire.
The French were reported,
however. to have come around
to the Soviet position that at
least one Communist nation
would have to be included in
the supervisory agency. Mr.. Mo-
lotov was reported to have in
sisted upon this as a minimum.
May Work Out Something.
French sources said Mr.. Bid
ault now believes something can
be worked out by taking three
Asian nationS-poSsibly India.
Pakistan and Ceylon-as a base
and adding one Communist
country and one Western ma
tion to the commission.
Mr.. Bidault was understood to
have told Mr.. Molotov he was
firmly opposed to any commits
sion on which the Communists
and Communists would be
evenly divided, such as the Neu-
trail Nations Supervision Com
mission in Korea. This body
consists of representatives of
Switzerland. Sweden, Poland and
Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Bidault also opposed
supervision by a mixed French
Wet Mimi commission, unless
such a body is limited to obser-
vation roles under control Of
an international commission.
Trying to Speed Talks.
The French Foreign Minister
and Mr.. Molotov also talked
briefly about steps to speed up
the military talks now going on
In Geneva between representa-
tives Of the two high commands.
These talks, dealing with the
question Of regrouping the rival
forces after a cease-fire, were
understood to have made no
progress.
Mr.. Bidault plans to leave to-
morrow night for Paris after a
semi-public session of the Indo-
China peace conference at which
MIR. Molotov is scheduled to
make a major policy declaration.
Mr.. Bidault will take part in
the foreign affairs debate of the
French National Assembly and
return here Thursday morning.
AppraiSing Chances.
This mornings talk was ar
ranged at the request of Mr..
Bidault. who was understood to
be making a determined effort
to find out now whether there
is any hope for a negotiated
peace in Indo-China.
In Paris high political figures
predicted that unless the West
scores real success at Geneva
this week, Premier Joseph La
nieps cabinet will be turned out.
Western delegates concede that
II the French government falls,
