He is encouraged in that re-
gard, he added, because in the
numerous times that he appeared
as an Army officer before CON
gressional committees dealing
with foreign affairs and national
defense matters. he never found
the problems handled on purely

Explains Tax Exemption Plan.
The President was asked the
reasons behind an adminiStra-
| ton decision, news of which
came out Of his conference with
Republican leaders Monday, to
ask Congress to extend corpora
ton and excise taxes due Il
expire April /.
He indicated that the major
reason is to protect the value oi

Gen. Eisenhower recalled thai

expansion of, such things as So

times of recession.
But the benefits would all fall
by the board unless the value OF
the dollar is kept stable, he en-
phasi3ed. He said pension
would be worth nothing If it was
paid for in dollars worth 100
cents and drawn in dollars worth
only 2 cents.
For taxes to be lowered, he
said, expenditures first must be
cut. And his administration has
cut expenses to what it con-
siders a safe minimum, and there
still will be a deficit.
To keep the deficit from grow
ing SO as to threaten the value
of the dollar, he explained, it is
necessary to maintain the tax
income. So the decision to ask
extension Of the corporation and
excise tax rates at present levels
is matter of trying to keep
things in balance for the good
Of the whole country.
He said he was not sure how
long an extension he would seek,
but that he had thought in
terms of one year.

Eisenhower Ordering
partisan Talks on
Defense, U.s.. Policy

President Eisenhower said to-
day he is ordering advance biz
partisan consultation with key
members OF Congress in the de-
velopment of administration pro-
grams in the fields Of foreign
policy and national defense.
From the attitude displayed
by Democrats in a bipartisan
conference at the White House
yesterday, he believes such CO.
operation in those major fields
will be very real in the new
Congress, the President told a
news conference.
Invites Democratic Oyertures.
He said he did not know
whether there would be any par
ticular pattern for consultation
with the Democrats, but that he
had invited the Democratic
Congressional leaders to bring to
his attention anything they
wanted to in this field.
The President then said he
was drafting q directive to his
Cabinet members dealing with
foreign policy, mutual security,
aid to allies and national de-

with the Senate and House COM
mittees concerned before pre-
senting programs for congress

AS for members of his own Re-
publican Party In Congress. Gen.
Eisenhower said that by and
large he expects maximum sup
port from them.
He added that he knows there
are some honest differences OF
conviction on some particular is
sues, such as his proposals for
liberalizinfi foreign trade poll
cies, that may never be COM
pletely ironed out.
Issue Not Raised.
He said the question of sup
porting specific domestic pro-
grams of the administration did
not come up in those terms in
his conference with Republican
congressional leaders Monday,
but, he added, he was given no
reason to believe there would not
be genuine support.
He was asked if tn conference
with both Democratic and Re-
publican Senate and House lead
ers yesterday was merely a show
of bipartisanship or whether
there was the real substance
and spirit of cooperation.
He replied that in the foreign
policy, mutual security aid and
nttional defense fields, he be-

Camp Life Is Normal
After | Polio Case;
GIobuIin Shots Given.

The fear inspired by polio APP
parently has been averted at
Camp Roosevelt. Boy Scout camp
Of the Metropolitan area. where a
case Of polio cropped up earlier
this week.
Health officials continued to
point out today that the boy, an
11-year-old Hyattsville resident,
probably was infected before his
arrival at camp about q week
ago. The camp, located about 4
miles south Of Chesapeake Beach,
Md, is the official camp OF the
National Capital Area Scout
Council. Some 400 boys are there
now.
Camp Life Is Normal.
Scout officials said today camp
life was proceeding normally,
with all but about three or four
boys having received gamma
globulin shots yesterday. Gamma
globulin acts as a temporary
protection Of the paralytic ef-
fects Of polio for about four to
five weeks.
Boy Scout officials added
parents were not taking their
children out of camp after
learning of the one case. All
parents were quickly notified.

thesis to reporters at National
Airport late yesterday after a
flight from Paris. He will testify
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee tomorrow and then
return to Europe.
It Is because Of the inability
to Withstand a Soviet attack
now, Gen. Gruenther said, that
causes the United States to favor
strongly the German contribu-
ton to NATO.
He said that while France OPP
posed the European Defense
Community plan, that opposition
was not synonymous with OPP
position to German rearma-
ment."
It is only that the French OPP
pose the vehicle" through which
the German contribution can
be attained, the General said.
Gen. Gruenther said the sue
cess Of NATO was underlined by
the fact that Russia now sought
its dissolution. This showed, he
explained, that the Kremlin feels
1t can no longer tick off Western
European countries zone by one."
Gen. Gruenther said it would
have been q miracle" for NATO
to have reached q point where it
could Withstand an about at
tack within q three-year period.
Gen. Gruenther said that It
els a fact that II the three major
allies disagreed it would have an
adverse effect" on ratification Of
EDO.
He said that NATO had not
been advised that current issues
among the United States, Brit
ain and France over Indo-C China
have had an adverse effect on
NATO in Europe.
The general refused comment
on the possibility Of this coun-
try withholding aid funds from
France and Italy because they
have failed to ratify EDO. Com
ment would be improper, he said,
while the issue is pending before
Congress.

been told to contact their family
physician If they are worried.
Some Withdrawals by those
expected to attend the camp In
following weeks are expected by
scout officials. No serious Illness
Of any kind has been reported
from the camp since the Hyatts-
vile boy was taken to Children's
Hospital, slightly paralyzed in
the right arm.
Third Arlington CASE.
Meanwhile. Arlington County
reported its third case of polio
for 1854 that Of an 1l-year-old
girl Of the 1000 block of North
Twentieth street, Arlington. She
has been admitted to Children's
Hospital. Her case has been
described as non-paralytic.
The county had two cases at
this time last year.
