Industrial Output
Continues 10 Drop;
Dollar Values Down
Production Declines
9 Per Cent Under High
Of '53; Slide Slower
By the Assoeiated Pres.

The Presidents economic ad-
visers reported today that pre-
liminary estimates show indus
trial production declined in
March to a point about 9 pei
cent less than a year before.
The slight further drop in
production, continuing trend
that set in last August, brought
the Federal Reserve Boards
index of industrial production,
seaSonally adjusted. to 1913. the
White House Council of Eco
nomic Advisers said. The index
was 137 in July. 1853.
That meant that production
Of the Nations mines and fac
tories was % per cent more in
March and 81 per cent more last
July than the average of pro-
duction in the three years 1947
through i1949.
This months index figure
came out in the councils
monthly collection of economic
indicators prepared for the Joint
Congressional Committee on the
Economic Report. This report
did not give production without
seasonal adjustment.
Dollar Value Slides.
The economic advisers also re-
ported that the gross national
productive total dollar value
OF the Nations production of ali
goods and Services-in the first
quarter Of this year dropped of
to an estimated rate of $3.50 bill
lion a year.
This was $4.5 billion, or IL
per cent, less than the rate ir
the last. quarter of 1853, and
.$12.4 billion, or 3.3 per cent, less
than the record $371.5 billion
level in the second quarter OF
1858.
Total output was about $5 bill
lion, or 1.3 per cent, less than
the annual rate in the first quar-
ter of 1853.
Durable Goods Slow.
The council said the March
decline in output was due to a
further reduction in the output
Of durable goods.
After the peak second quar-
ter of 1853, total output Of goods
and service fell, in the third
quarter. at an annual rate OF
approximately 50 billion.
In the next three months,
production slid downward, at
an annual rate of $6 billion.
In the first three months OF
this year the decline was. $4.5
billion. IS per cent less than it
had been in the previous quar-
ter.

Statement Issued.
Text of the statement which
Mr.. Dulles issued upon his ar
rival IN Syracuse:
81 went to London and Paris
because of the critical situation
in 1ndo-China and the threat
that 1t carried to the vital in
terests of many countries in
Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Among those vital interests
are those of the French Union
and the British Commonwealth.
I returned well satisfied with the
results of my trip.
'The loss of the China main
land to Communism was a great
disaster. That disaster would
be compounded if there were
added to it the loss of the mil
lions Of people, the vast economic
resources and the strategic posi-
ton represented by Southeast
Asia and the Pacific islands.
II feel confident that that loss
can be prevented without ex-
tending the Indo- China war If
the free nations having vital in
terestS in the area are united
in a determination to preserve
peace and freedom in the area.
= That unity of purpose rests
upon full understanding. That
understanding has been greatly
enhanced by the talks which I
have had in London with Prime
Minister Churchill and Foreign
Secretary Eden, and the talks I
have had in Paris with Premier
Laniel and Foreign Minister
Bidault. Our common purposes
were expressed in joint state
mentS, which we issued on Tues
day in London and yesterday in
Paris.
Already, before left for Lon
don the government of Thailand
had indicated its approval of our
purposes, and President Magsay-
say OF the Philippies has now in
dlcated acceptance in principle.
Geneva Held Test.
"Out of this unity, which is now
taking definite form, will come
free-world strength which I be-
lieve will lead the Communists
to renounce their extravagant
ambitions to dominate yet an
other major portion of the globe.
THE Geneva conference, which
begins a week from Monday. will
be a test. I am more than ever
persuaded that if the free world
stands firm, the Geneva confer
ence will advance the cause of
freedom in Southeast Asia and
the Pacific, and safeguard that
freedom in peace and Justice. !"

Army Charges
On Mccarthy
Row Released
Symington Reveals
Text Of Pentoeon S
Bill of Particulars
BY the Assoeioted Press

An Army Dlll OF particular"
on its row with Senator Nc
Carthy asserts that it was in
Senator McCarthy's presence and
with his consent" that Roy
Cohn voiced threats" to Army
officials if Pvt. G. David Schine
did not receive favored treat
ment.
Senator Symington, Democrat.
of Missouri made public the
Army document today which al
leges in general that Senator
Mccarthy and some of his aides
sought by improper means" to
get special treatment for Pvt.
Schine, a former Mccarthy aid
who was drafted last November.
The Army gave the document
to the Senate Investigations SUBJ
committee yesterday as an OUT
line of what it would offer when
public hearings are held on the
row. These are now tentatively
scheduled to open next Thurs
day.
In Senator's Presence.
The document asserts that Mr..
Cohn, youthful chief counsel to
the subcommittee, in Senator
McCarthy's presence voiced
threats to "cause the Army to
be exposed in its worst light
and to demonstrate to the coun-
try how Shabbily it was being
run" if Pvt. Schine did not get
favored treatment.
And, it said, Mr.. Cohn "in the
presence of and with the consent
of Senator Mccarthy" warned
Secretary of the Army Stevens
and John G. Adams, the Army's
general counsel, that their CO.
operation or lack of it could have
a bearing on the subcommittee's
Investigations of Reds in the
Army. .
On this score, the document
said that in a meeting with
Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Adams on
or about last November Mr..
Cohn and Francis P. Carr, the
subcommittee'S chief of staff, in
Senator McCarthy's presence re-
quested special assignment for
Pvt. Schine, a former colleague.
Would Limit Probe.
"These requests, the document
said. "were coupled with promises
reasonably to limit or to termi-
nate subcommittee hearings on
Fort Monmouth"
The charge Of threats from
Mr.. Cohn had been made by the
Army before but the bill of par
ticulars links Senator Mccarthy
more closely with them.
The document was filed with
the subcommittee and signed by
Joseph N. WEIGH, special Army
counsel. Copies have been for
warded to Senator Mccarthy, Mr..
Cohn and Mr.. Carr, who in turn
will file replies to the points
listed along with a statement
detailing the "blackmail" charges
they will attempt to prove against
Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Adams.
Secret questioning of wit
nesses was started by the SUBJ
committee today.
The subcommittee, working
against time to get the public
hearings started on schedule, re-
fused to name witnesses called to
closed session today, or to dis
close just where or when they
would be questioned.

South Dakota, succeeding Sem

He declared that the company
has had only two rate increases
in its history and that the aver
age revenues per kilowatt-hour
from its residential customers in
1853 was 2.37 cents. the same
as it was 10 years ago.
Claims Low Costs.
Addressing the annual stock
holders meeting, Mr.. Dunn said
the company had made every
effort to keep costs at a mini
mum.
At existing rates, earnings
per share on the common stock
should be about $1.20 this year,
he said. "This will not be ade-
quate to maintain dependable
service and meet the increasing
demands of our customers OF
to enable us to obtain the cap
ital required to finance the large
expansion program in which our
company is still engaged" he
said.
The company has been trying
to keep generating capacity
abreast Of peak demand for elec-
tficity, he said. He declared the
company has paid out $126 mil
lion for expansion since 1916
and estimated an additional $62
million will be required in the
next three years.
Aids in Atomic Project.
Mr.. Dunn reported the COM
pany had participated actively
during the last year in the nu-
clear energy study known as the
Dow Edison project. He said
the 26 companies participating
were very much interested in the
practical application of atomic
energy to power generation.
The group spent more than 81
million on the program in 1853
and is expected to increase the
outlay to more than $2.5 million
this year.

Department, it was made known
today. The popular Delaware In

ial on the state will be made

erick, director, announced. I'VE
should make every effort to call
public attention to Delaware Day
and the fact that we owe our
title of First State to the events
that transpired in Dover on that
day in 1887" he said. 1t was
pointed out, especially for new
comers in Delaware, that 30 re-
presentatives of New Castle, Kent
and Sussex Counties met in spec
ial convention on that day and
unanimously ratified the Federal
Constitution which h ad be n
adopted in Philadelphia on Sep
tember II of that year. Many
persons confuse this event with
Caesar Rodney's ride to Philadel-
phia," Frederick continued. THAT
Of course was done on July 2,
1776, eleven years before, in an
effort to break the states tie
vote so that we could declare for
independence" One new item was
recently added to the Develop
ment Departments supply of state
material. 1t is a four by three
inch "stand-up" place-card, bear
ing the state flag in color on one
side and the State Song, "Our
Delaware" on the other. I'VE
want to encourage use of this
item at dinners and other public
gatherings so that DelaWareans
will use and become more fam
iliar with our beautiful state
song" said the Development di-
rector. Other material on Della
ware Day has been distributed by
DR.. H. v. Holloway, chairman of
