Very Good Economic Year
Is Predicted BY. Stassen
BY the Assoe,oted Press

TOKYO, Feb. Is Foreign
Operations Administrator Harold
E. Stassen today predicted a
very good economic year in
1854" for the United States.
Mr.. Stassen told a news con-
ference the United States hopes
to buy 500 million worth of
munitions in Japan during the
present fiscal year.
When asked if a continued re-
ceSSion might reduce United
States foreign aid programs, he
said:
The Presidents report indi-
Gates that the United States will
have very good economic year"
Mr.. StaSSen said the Nation S
economy was "readjusting" and
expressed optimism for the fu-
ture.
Mr.. StaSsen planned to leave
for Seoul this afternoon for a
conference on South Korea's re-
Mobilization. Later he will fly to
Formosa and Indo-C China before
attending a five-day meeting in
Manila of the Far Eastern di-
rectors of the FOA.

Red China as participating
guest. The delegations failed to
reach a second question that has
been part Of the secret sessions,
rival East and West plans for
world disarmament.
The best the West now expects
is that the Wednesday talks may
develop to the point where they
could be continued through dip
lomatic channels after the Berlin
parley disbands.
Now the conviction of Ameri-
can officials in Berlin is that
RuSsia's decision to hold on in
Germany and Austria makes it
essential for the United States
to maintain high level of forces

may give the Americans.
Secret Session Wednesday.
The morning secret talks end
ed after two hours with only the
brief announcement that another
So-called restricted" session
would be held Wednesday.
Neither side was optimistic
that a decision would be taken
at this conference on steps to
liquidate the fighting in the Far
East. But neither West nor East
slammed the door on the remote
chance of a meeting of minds
on this usbject.
The conference did reach
one agreement yesterday-to ad-
journ Thursday. Mr.. Dulles de-
manded that Mr.. Molotov sign
an Austrian treaty of independ-
ence by then or admit further
talk was useless.
Mr.. Molotov again insisted
that any Austrian treaty permit
Big Four occupation troops to
remain in Austria until a Ger
man peace treaty is concluded
something obviously years
away, and that Austria be
banned forever from an alliance
with the West.
The West again fNatly re-
fused these Soviet terms and Mr..
Molotov, as the days chairman,
announced the parley would end
Thursday.
The Ministers then will have
met for % days during which
solutions of the German and
Austrian problems have been
brought no nearer.
The Western Foreign Minis
tiers have asked Mr.. Molotov to
meet them again in Geneva
April IS to take up the Korean
question. The Russian has been
considering this, but still with
one major objective in view:
If Russia goes to such con-
ference. it was indicated, Red
China first must be called to a
seat among the mighty.

President were to- be uncovered

Princeton Graduate.
Mr.. Sieminski, Princeton
graduate whose family once
owned the big Brunswick Laun-
dry Co. in northern New Jersey
told The Star that he probably
could have been forced out OF
office last year during the time
of the "book-burning" if a GER
tain Senator had chosen to at
tack him. But he doesn't think
it could happen now.
He said he had several talks
with the FBI concerning his
step-daughter. And he added
that. before agreeing to run for
Congress he had an understand
ing with his wife, the former
Countess Mycielska, that men,
bers of her family living in
Poland would never be an in
fluence in any action he might
take as a Congressman.
Mr.. SieminSki also revealed
that he very nearly resigned his
seat about six months ago in
order to make a cloak-and-
dagger attempt to get his STEP
daughter, Isabella, out of Poland.
He said he had a plan which
he thought had an excellent
chance of working. The first
step involved taking the Polish
liner Batory to Danzig. Before
any final decision was made,
Isabella was on her way out.
She escaped just before Christ
mas and now lives with the
Sieminskis in Alexandria.

feels that even if the agency
were allotted more money for
enforcement the returns would
not be commensurate.
S. The Secret Service is alert
to the possibility that the Com
munists might launch a plan of
economic turmoil and currency
destruction by flooding false pa
per money into some countries.
But it believes there is nothing
today to indicate that the coun-
terfeiting of American currency
has been undertaken by any for
eign power"
6. The problems of protecting
the White House has become in
creasingly difficult because of
unsettled world conditions. The
1873 White House policemen pro-
vided for in the new budget are
four fewer than this year.
7. The agency believes that by
1855 it can put into effect a
plan whereby persons whose tax
is fully withheld will not have to
file returns. AS previously ex-
planned by Treasury and House
Ways and Means Committee ex-
perts, this would relieve about
IS million taxpayers from filing
returns.

1871 Ousted as Security Risks
In Treasury, House Is Informed

Persistent demands by House
appropriations Subcommittee
members for a breakdown Of
Treasury Department security"
diSmisSalS led to disclosures to-
day that 1S1 employees were fired
or forced to resign last year, in
Guiding four found to be dis
loyal persons"
These figures came to light
when the subcommittee released
the record of it's recent closed
hearings on the department
budget and particularly its queS-
tioning of Ebert P. Tuttle. the
Treasury's general counsel and
acting security officer.
The subcommittee revealed
that at the insistence of Repre-
sentative Gary, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, Mr.. Tuttle was brought
back a second time because his
earlier testimony did not seem
complete or otherwise salts
factory.
Fired in Customs.
The transcript also showed in
another section that the Customs
Service dismissed six employees
last year as security risks. Gus
toms Commissioner David B.
Strubinger said all six appeared
to have had contacts" with
Communists. Chester A. limerick,
the bureaus Investigations chief,
added that 1.-The records indicate
a contact. or there had been
previous membership to such an
extent that we felt it was a def
mite security risk"
Mr.. Tuttle was first questioned
at a January II session. He was
recalled last Monday because, &C
cording to Mr.. Gary, he had not
supplied the requested informa-
ton for the record.
Comparison Held Difficult.
The Virginia member objected
to what he called Jumping all"
security risks together and in
Guiding Communists. alcoholics
and persons with other objec-
tionable traits in the same cate
CORY. He said the American peo-
pie were entitled to know just
how many of the 1900 security"
cases involved actual traitors.
Mr.. Tuttle told the Subcom-
mlttee there was no way of COM
pairing security diSmissals under
the Eisenhower administration
with those under the Truman
administration. He declared that
the whole basis of approach is
different.
Il demand to know the per-
sons who have actually been
found to be disloyal," Mr.. Gary
shouted.
Finally, the Treasury general
counsel said that four persons
had been fired in 1853 las dis
loyal by findings of the loyalty
procedure" under Truman Elk

ecutive Order 1885. One of the
four cases originated in Puerto
Rico.
The number of persons off,
cially disclosed as having been
removed from the Government
payroll last year because of a
question of loyalty now stands
at 16. All agencies have not
been reported on. The Is are
from agencies whose alleged Sc
curity risk dismissals total 522.
This means that roughly 3 per
cent of the security firings were
loyalty cases, according to the
breakdown so far supplied.
The Democrats needed their
Republican colleagues through
out the Treasury hearings accus-
ing G. o. P. leaders of giving the
public the impression that a
total of 1920 disloyal persons
have been separated from the
Government service"
The hearings also revealed
considerable confusion in the
minds of the congressman and
executive branch officials in con-
nection with the Eisenhower
personnel security program.
For example. the following ex-
change illustrates how even Gov
eminent leaders confuse the
words loyalty" and security"
mfr. Garfield: Will you be
good enough now to tell us about
the picture in the Service en-
ternal Revenue) with reference
to the So-called loyalty pro-
gram ;?
Mr.. Andrews Commissioner
of Internal Revenue: Do you
not mean, Mr.. Chairman, the
loyalty program recently estab-
liShed under the direction Of Mr..
futile?
"Mr. Garfield: have reference
to what is commonly known as
the Presidents loyalty program.
Mr.. Andrews: Yes. That is
what l though you meant"
Other Commissions.
Other points of confusion were
these:
/. Mr.. Tuttle said that none
OF the first ia of the 131 secur-
ity separations was made under
the Eisenhower order because it
did not become effective in the
Treasury Department until last
September.
2. Mr.. Tuttle asserted that the
Treasury has Is or Is categories
for dismissal as security risks,
after noting that Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell had said there were
eight or nine. He did not list
the Is or Is.
3. Mr.. Tuttle testified: Some

Noticeable Cleanup
In Dope Traffic Here

There has been a noticeable
cleanup in drug addiction here.
but it will not be permanent
until compulsory disqualification
Of addicts becomes effective.
Harry J. Anslinger, chief of the
Federal Narcotics Bureau. has
told a House Appropriations
subcommittee.
His testimony of January 10
was made public today. He also
told the House group that hand
ing dope peddlers sitter SEN
fences is helping in the cleanup
in Washington.
He was asked if there had
been a noticeable cleanup of the
illegal narcotics traffic here, and
replied:
Il see a rather substantial i'm
provement which probably will
not be permanent until this COM
pulsory commitment for the
drug addict takes place"
New Action Needed.
He pointed out that Congress
already has passed a law calling
for compulsory disqualification
OF addictS, but that a compan-
ion measure which would per-
NIT the Federal hospital at Lex
ington to accept them as patients
still is pending in the Senate.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover said today he and Com
missioner Renah Camalier will
confer this week with the appro-
PIRATE legislators to seek action
on the enabling act.
The enabling measure passed
the House at the last session of
Congress, but because of errors
in printing. it was not brought
before the Senate.
Temporary Ward Here.
At the order of the Commits
sioners, District General Hospi-
tai has prepared a ward for tenn
porary treatment of addicts. But
District officials feel that it can
not commit addicts there unless
they can be transferred to the
Federal institution at Lexington
for complete treatment.
The hospital there has full IA
cilities for the long rehabilita-
ton treatment which psychia-
trists feel is necessary for best
results. The unit at District
General Hospital would be used
for treatment and housing of the
patients during the court proce-
dures for their commitment.
If ne Ohe addict gets into a
district where there is compul-
sorry disqualification, then he
moves" Mr.. Anslinger told the
subcommittee. They do not like
compulsory commitment. Mime
sofa is a good example of that"
Mr.. Anslinger also reported on
the arrest of a 2l-year -old New
York man. Mario Fulva Renato
Colucci. last October 6, describ-
ing him as a main source of
supply of several large narcotic
peddlers recently arrested in
Washington"

It is undoubtedly unfair to
singers as a segment of the mu-
sical profession. but among those
who merely talk or write about
them, they are often conven-
iently divided into two distinct
classes-those with good looks
and fabulous voices but no
brainse, and those with musician
ship and intelligence but thread
bare vocal equipment. Katherine
Hansel, who sang to a bulging
audience at the Phillips Gallery
last night, is one of the most
convincing denials of this rule
of-thumb it has been this re-
viewers privilege to hear in
many a year. Her exceedingly
attractive voice and appearance
are supported by musicianship
and insight that are uncommon
in any kind of performer.

comfort through a program that

will allow in one hour of singing.

bore out her reputation for seek
ing unfamiliar music to sing.
was a distinct Improvement over
some listed before. With all its
novelty, it gave enough of each
style-group to provide substance.
without continuous century hop
ping in the name of variety.
Words to Miss Hansel are tools
to be used with care and preci-
sion. Not only does she pronounce
them distinctly, but she gives
them such spark and clarity that
they can etch the most elusive
and whimsical Of thoughts. This
very quality was enough to insure
the success of the French songs
of Robert Alger and those of his
grandson. Raymond Fol.
The sampling Miss Hansel pro-
vided from Ernest Toch's opera,
"The Princess and the Pea"
whets the curiosity. The brave
attempts of the princess to ignore
the uncomfortable little lump in
her feather bed, finally broken
down by her regal sensitivity and
ladylike wrath, are set to music
that succeeds in being extremely
funny and as uncomfortable as if
the pea were the size of a builder.
In his "Old American Songs"
Aaron COPELAND is fascinated by
the romping gospel song, the
sentimental revival tune, or the
perky children's patter that
America sang in the 10Th CEN
tury. Miss Hansel is particularly
apt in putting across Copland's
gentle commentary on these
styles Of our past.
Perhaps the most demanding
songs of the evening were the
"Vier letzte Lieder" of Richard
Strauss. These songs are a
strange and touching apotheosis
of Strauss vocal creation. Still
present are the extended, ara
besque-like lines that he loved
and used ofted with lush effect:
but they are somehow veiled
with restraint, not of man
close to death, but of a man f.
nally endowed with tremendous
calm. Even though her soft sing
ing lost continuity and substance
occasionally. Miss Hansel sang
them with much control and
deep realization of their po-
tential.
