Pentogon Orders Gag on Pact
With Spain on Marriages

have about 10 million members.
The Pentagon'S new messages
to Madrid were sent after Of
ficials here had read published
accounts Of an interview with 1t.
Col. Raymond M. Stadta. q Ro-
man Catholic Air Force chaplain,
who is attached to the mission
and who said he had negotiated
the religious part of the under
standing with Spain.
Curb ON Statements.
In q second message to Cen,
KiSSner, which referred to Col.
Stadta by name. the Pentagon
said: Further public statements
are not authorized. nor should
the agreement be prejudiced."
The published remark attrib-
uted to Col. Stadta. which raised
some questions at the Defense
Department. quoted the chap
lain as saying that when the new
accord with Spain is signed
!" American chaplains will be less
hampered In taking care of the
religious needs of their people
than our chaplains In England
or France. !"
Official perplexity on this point
stems from the fact that relig-
ious regulation of American
marriages Is q problem peculiar
TO Spain, at least among the
lands where American service
men are regularly stationed in
numbers or will be in the future.
New Problems Elsewhere.
The United States has agree
ments with all of the North At
lantic Treaty nations which gov
ern the jurisdiction of those ma
tions over American Servicemen
when they are of duty. In other
countries where American serv-
icemen are stationed religious
matters. particularly those relat-
ing to marriage, have presented
few problems. defense officials
said, because there was a clear
cut distinction between civil law
and canon or church law.
Thus an American serviceman
who wants to get married in
most countries first has to OBJ
tain permission from his COM
manding officer and then COM
ply with civil regulations in
much the same way that mar
riage licenses are obtained in the
United States. It is thus up to
the serviceman or his prospec-
tive bride to decide what, If any,
form Of religious ceremony or
regulation should be observed.
What makes the problem
touchy in Spain is that in ad-
dition to the civil law regulating
marriages, there is the church
law which is also the law Of the
land.
Two Provisions.
Authoritative sources in Madrid
have said the agreement nego-
tiated by Col. Stadta, but still
awaiting approval in Washing
ton, contains these provisions:
/. In the case of marriages
between persons of the same
faith, the wedding should be
celebrated under American laws
and religious doctrine by the ap-

Dworshak Believes
u. 5. Budget Is Key
To 1856 Elections
BY the Associated Press

Senator Dworshak, Republic
can, of Idaho said today Presi-
dent Eisenhower's Federal budget
proposals next month may de-
termine whether or not the Re-
publicans win the 1856 election.
1.-The Republicans made SOL
emn pledge to curtail Federal
spending and balance the budget
as soon as possible" Senator
Dworshak said in an interview.
"This will be the last chance to
do so before the voting in the
1856 election"
Treasury Secretary Humphrey
said on December 6 it would not
be possible to balance the budget
in the fiscal year which starts
July /.
SAT- Billion Deficit Seen.
The most recent estimate for
the year which ends June 80 is
that the Government will wind
up about $4.75 billion in the red.
That would compare with deficits
of about SO billion in the year
earlier and $9.5 billion in the
year before that.
Senator Dworshak said he is
confident a balance could be
reached without impairing our
national security and prepared
ness or curbing necessary Federal
services and functions"
A similar call for pruning out
all unnecessary spending came
yesterday from Representative
Cannon, Democrat, Of Missouri,
who will be chairman Of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee.
All Budgets Compromised
Mr.. Cannon said all budgets
are compromises and can be
cut"
He said another world war. II
one comes, would "be irrevocabfy
decided in is days" and that he
sees no need to maintain large
masses of men in the armed
forces. -

Matthew B. Ridgway, has said
atomic warfare would require

President Remains
Hopeful But Anxious
On News From Paris
By . ssur sioff Correspondent

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 29.--
President Eisenhower was hope
full but anxious today as he stood
by for news from Paris that will
show whether France still can be
counted as q key partner in map
ping Western European defense
strategy.
Through long-diStance tele-
phone conversations with Secre-
tary of State Dulles in Washing
ton. he was keeping in close
touch with the situation as the
French National Assembly neared
q critical vote on the issue Of re-
arming Western Germany.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said Gen.
Eisenhower talked with Mr..
Dulles for half an hour this
morning. from 8 to $50 am. He
disclosed no details of the con-
versation.
"All we are going to do now
is just sit and wait for the vote
Of the French Assembly" Mr..
Hagerty told reporters.
Hopes for Vote Reversal.
The President hoped for a re-
versal of the vote of last Friday
by which the French legislators
turned down ratification Of an
agreement providing for limited
rearmament of the Germans as
members Of an enlarged Western
European union.
That hope was sustained by
the Assembly's gratifying" ac-
ton late Monday in voting to
admit West Germany into the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton. But there still was an at
mosphere of tension at the little
White House here-sure to pre-
vail until the final outcome is
known, probably late today.
Need German ManpOwer.
An adverse vote would mean
that the United States and
Great Britain would press ahead
without French approval -
Shunting France to the back
ground in allied planning-to re-
arm West Germany anyway.
This would be done in the con-
viction that German manpower
is essential to any effective de-
tense Of Western Europe against
possible Soviet aggression.
Gen. Eisenhower kept his per-
sonal plane, Columbine III,
standing by here, ready to fly
him back to Washington i'm
mediately for emergency con-
situations if such action seemed
necessary in case of an adverse
Paris vote.
He hoped. however, to be able
to remain here as originally
planned until Sunday or Mon
day.
Between telephone conferences
with Mr.. Dulles and work on the
legislative program he will sub
NIT to the new Congress next
month, he is getting in daily
rounds of golf on the Augusta

Congress VIII Vote
Boost in Minimum
Pay, Morse Predicts
BY The A.s.o,e:io.ted Pres.

Senator Morse. Independent.
Of Oregon predicted today that
Congress next year viii boost
the 75-cent hourly minimum
wage and said he win fight for
an increase to 81 at least.
Senator Morse said in an in
teryiew he also will seek to have
the Fair Labor Standards Act
applied to all American workers.
Many are now exempt, including
all those whose jobs do not di-
rectly involve interstate COM
merce. About "a million workers
are covered now.
Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
has come out for an increase.
President Eisenhower. at a De-
cember Is news conference,
repeated what he said a year ago
that he is convinced there
should be an increase when the
economy Is expanding. He added
he was not sure this is such a
time.
IS to 80 Cents Mentioned.
Some. informed congressional
sources, however, said today they
expect the President to ask Con-
gress. to raise the 75-cent mini
mum fixed in 1949 and TO broad
en- coverage. These sources said
the proposed increase might be
85 or go cents an hour.
A boost Of that size would just
about bring the minimum wage
into line with a 12,9 per cent in
crease In the cost of living since
1949.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of
Alabama, slated to become
chairman Of the Labor Commit
tee. has spoken favorably Of an
increase large enough to wipe
out the rise in the cost of living
since 1949.
Three Major Factors.
Senator Morse said three ma
jor factors call for an increase
in the minimum wage:
1. .Low-wage families need help
in meeting a cost of living level
near its peak.
2. An increase would spiral
through the economy and thus
broaden the purchasing base of
American consumers"
8. A higher figure would be
"a demonstration of the strength
of the capitalistic section of the
world in advancing the welfare
of the individual"
The AFL and the CIO have
both demanded a minimum of
SIPS an hour, but it is pretty
generally agreed that Congress
will not vote such level any
time soon.
