Senator Williams, however,
promised trouble for this pro-

cleared the House Appropria-

House bill would cancel $74l mil

Senator VILLA ms thought
Congress should get a clearer

Lindberoh, in Rare
Talk, Puts Humanisnl
Above MaieriaIism
~ the Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 26v-
Charles A. Lindbergh says "a
materialism which overempha-
sizes short-term survival detracts
from the humanism essential to
long term survival"
Eve must remember" he adds.
that it was not the outer gran
deur Of the Roman but the inner
simplicity Of the Christian that
lived on through the ages"
Emerging from his semi-seclu-
sion of recent years. Col. Lind
bergh last night addressed more
than 1000 members and guests
of the Institute of the Aeronau-
tical Sciences at a dinner at the
Astor Hotel.
Science and Mankind.
The famed flyer spoke not so
much of scientific developments
as of what science is doing to
mankind.
He received the Daniel Gug-
genhein Award for 1853 for
pioneering achievements in
flight and air navigation" The
award was presented by indus
trialist Harry Guggenheim.
Col. Lindbergh, in his philo-
sophical discourse, declared:
ITO date, the results of science
have. been primarily material
istic. We have measured success
by our products rather than by
ourselves"
The audience, silent through
out the half-hour address, ap-
plauded so insistently at the
end that Col. Lindbergh had to
rise twice to take bows. Dozens
rushed to the head table to
shake his hand.
Col. Lindbergh, who will be
So next week, said in his talk
that early enthusiasm over the
discoveries of science and the
conquest Of the air blinded us
to natural laws which govern
the conduct Of men,"
In recent years we in Amer
lea have spent an alarming
amount Of thought and energy
on war;" he said.
81. Man has always had a
tendency TO complicate his life
with technical knowledge and
material devices. But sur
vival has a time dimension
which says that power consists
OF more than strength of arms.
"Short-term survival may de-
pend on the knowledge of nu-
clear physicists and the per-
Torrance of supersonic aircraft,
but long term survival depends
alone on the character of
man.
while We concentrate our at
tention on the tools of economics
and war, We must not neglect
the basic means of surviving
the basic reason for survival,
man himself"

Text of Speech Released.
1.-THE important thing" Mr..
Dulles declared, lis that we
quickly show capacity to dis
charge our responsibilities
toward others and not to waste
our time in recriminations as
amongst ourselves"
While Mr.. Dulles speech was
made behind the closed doors of
the conference, it was released
for publication by the American
press office here. The other three
foreign ministers speeches were
released yesterday. The confer
ence thus to. date has been a
public affair.
In discussing the American
attitude toward China, Mr..
Dulles said:
Although six months have
gone by SINGER agreed to hold a
political conference with rela-
ton to Korea. Communist China
has constantly found excuses
and placed distractions in the
way.
This convicted aggressor is
the nation which the Soviet
Union chooses to be its COM
panion in its quest for peace
and which it demands should be
accepted by the United States
and Others"
Bidault PreSides.
The ministers met for three
hours today.
Mr.. Bidault. today's chair
man, told the meeting the West
ern powers were accepting the
Molotov agenda. They were do
ing this. he said. because what
We seek above all is the success
of the conference. But he
warned Mr.. Molotov not to re-
gard agreement on the agenda
las indicating that we have ac-
copied in any sense the funda-
mental theses of the Soviet dele
cation"
German Unity Put Ahead.
Mr.. Bidault and Mr.. Eden
made it clear in their opening
speeches yesterday the West con-
siders the main purpose here is
to unity Germany, beginning
with free alderman elections,
and to complete an Austrian
treaty of independence.
Mr.. Molotov spent little time
yesterday on either subject. But
in the tough game of power poll
tics at the heart of the Berlin
meeting Mr.. Molotov appeared to
Western diplomats to be pur-
suing these deliberate aims:
/. American officials said he
was trying to divert attention
from what they believe to be
RuSsia'S weak position in Ger
many and therefore Russia's in
ability to negotiate to her ad-
vantage on unification.
2. Mr.. Molotov centered his
fire on the United States in or
der to drive a wedge between the
United States and her allies
particularly France. In this con-
nection, he sympathized with
French reluctance to Join West
Germany in the European army
as desired by the Americans. Mr.
Molotov also invited Mr.. Bidault
to be his first conference din
ner guest at the Soviet Embassy
in East Berlin tonight. While
this looked like a diplomatic
gesture. it could also be a sig
niflcant straw in the wind in
Soviet policy.
3. Mr.. Molotov is particularly
anxious to press the Western ma
tons into accepting Communist
China as a world power and a
member of a future five-power
conference.
At one point he appeared to
use the possibility of a Korean
settlement as a bargaining weap-
on in this CAMPAIGN. He said an

The Swedish Ambassador

for the Vice President and

full of official dinners nightly,
many of them so stuffy that
husbands grimace in anticipa-

example of what charm can be
attained when the right ingre-
dents are combined.
Needless to say. the choice
of the guests had much to do
with it and not the least of
these was the brilliant. inter-

General of the United Nations.
A slight, blond man of 40, he
has blue eyes that miss moth
ing that's going on, and a
mind that is usually 10 jumps
ahead. Like some other we'll
known statesmen, he sees the
witty side always and he be-
means the types who think it
appropriate to approach seri-
Gus problems with as long a
face as one can assume. He
must bring to the interna-
tional organization some. Of
the seasoning and perspective
it needs.
He insists that his Office in
the glass U. N. building is not
a movie-type, palatial affair.
It's furnished in green leather
and early dining room oak, he
says. AS for the glass walls,
they make it too bright, espe-
cially in summer, so he has
draperies covering all but two
panels. From these windows
he looks out on a New York
that has now taken on beauty
for him. Whereas Paris is all
gray, New York in the shadows
cast by the afternoon sun, is a
red city, he finds.

Senator Karl Mundt, Republic

ings, predicted last night that
the Senate Investigations Sub
committee would not authorize
any probe of the highly secret
Central Intelligence Agency.
During the recent hearings,
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Wisconsin, the Subcommittee'S
regular chairman, referred to the
CIA several times as among
agencies inf1ltrated by Commu-
niStS.
Allen w. Dulles, the CIA's
chief, denied the charge.
Senator Mundt, speaking on
transcribed radio interview, said
fatty: II predict our committee
will not vote to investigate the
CIA."
He said he based this on
knowledge of the committee IS
work load and the time left be-
fore Congress adjourns.
Senator Mundt was asked about
reports that the CIA already was
a Mccarthy target. He said
chairmen of all committees have
authority to make preliminary
investigations of matters under
their Jurisdiction, and it is possi-
BILE that Senator Mccarthy has
had such a preliminary survey
made of the CIA.
