1--WE have a special regulation,
which is in accord with national

such facts be fully developed

kept in Europe under present
circumstances. and Chairman
Wiley of the Foreign Relations
Committee said Gen. Eisen-
howers pledge is "just a re-
statement" of United States
policy set in 1851.
But as for Indo-China, Sena-
tor Potter. Republican. of Michi-
gan said that two steps should
be taken before we think about
sending our troops" there.
1.-The first thing we should do
is to blockade the coast of Com
munist China" he said. The
second, he added. was to utilize
South Korean troops and Ma
tionalist Chinese troops on
Formosa to fight the Chinese
Communists he said were spear
heading" the attack.
Had Demanded Name.
Before it was disclosed that Mr..
Nixon was the source, Senator
Mansfield had demanded the
name of the official so he could
be questioned by Congress.
Il think before any such grave
decision is enforced-if it has
been made-the matter should
be laid before Congress and the
facts should be made known to
the American people," Senator
Mansfield declared.
He said he agreed that q
negotiated peace would deliver
Indo-China into the hands of
the Communists. But he said
the way to win the war without
such a surrender would be for
the French to offer the anti
Communists OF the associated
states complete freedom and the
right to choose whether they will
remain in the French Union.
Agreeing with this. Senator
Humphrey. Democrat. of Min
nesota, another Foreign Rela-
tions Committee member, said
the Eisenhower administration
could force such a step by the
French if it made clear to the
French, the Indo-Chinese and
our own people that we stand
for the independence of the free
states.
THE lack of clarity on the
question of do-China's inde-
pendence is the great weakness
of the French in the struggle
there" he said.
Says Reds Are Outnumbered.
Senator Mansfield said there
would be no need for American
troops because he said the
French forces now outnumber
the Communists about 2-1 and
are getting the best of American
equipment.
Senator Kennedy, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, asserted that
unless some concrete independ-
ence pledge were given the Indo-
Chinese no amount of American
aid or troops would achieve de-
cisive victory in the face of ma
tive apathy or hostility.
"The administration should
not hastily commit itself to in
tervention without a conclusive
determination that the united
action of other Asiatic nations
and the local support of the Wet
Namese-which are essential to
victory-are forthcoming as a
result of such grant of inde-
pendence," he declared.
Senator Long said the Eisen-
hover administration had taken
the position that 1t would not
send United States troops into
action without advance approval
and declared it ought to keep
that commitment"
Mr.. Nixon also said that the
end of the Korean war had pro-
duced the present crisis there be-
cause it permitted the Chinese
Communists to step up their aid
to Communicated Wet Mimi
forces.

Bill Asks Accounting
OF Counterpart Funds

Chairman LeCompte of the
House Administration Commit
tee proposed today that Con-
gresSmen who travel abroad be
required by law to give a de-
tailed accounting of how much
foreign money they spend.
Mr.. LeCompte. Iowa Repub-
lican, said that would be the
most effective way to prevent
abuses by touring Congressman
of the use Of what are called
counterpart funds.
Mr.. LeCompte has introduced
a bill to amend that part Of the
foreign aid law which gives con-
gressional committees access to
counterpart funds foreign
money deposited by recipient
countries in exchange for eco
nomic or military aid from the
United States.
The law now requires no de-
tailed accounting of how coun-
terpart funds are used by the
travelling legislators. The State
Department keeps records on
how much money it advances
but requires no accounting Of

With Urges House
To OK SIG Million
For Roads in Area

Conrad L. Wirth, director Of
the National Park Service. yes
terday urged the House Public
Works Committee to provide
SIG million for road develop
ments in the Washington area
for use in the next two fiscal
years.
He asked that such funds be
included as an amendment to
the pending Federal road aid
authorization bill. now subject
to series of hearings.
The Federal Government. he
noted, would have the response
bility for the construction of
sections of Fort Drive, the
Glover-Archbold parkway and
connections with the Annapolis
parkway in keeping with the
master plans for the National
Capital area.
He said the request would per-
NIT the park service to maintain
its road building program in
this area at the same rate pro-
posed for the District Govern
ment in its pending $305 mil
lion public works program.
Mr.. Wirth urged that the park
service be allowed to 60 ahead
at the rate of So million a year.
The whole program planned for
this area, he added, totals about
$50 million in a contemplated
10-year plan.
He noted that the bill would
permit the park service to spend
$40 million on parkways
throughout the country and an
equal sum on roads and trails.
AS to the work in this area,
Mr.. Wirth said he felt the Fed
eral Government ought to be
prepared to go ahead with work
on its property when the District
Government gets its own public
works program under way.
He said he had not yet re-
ceived clearance from the Inte-
rior Department but he planned
to discuss the matter with Sec
rotary Mckay.
