Senate Confirms Campbell
In Post of Controller General
Recess Appointee
Is Now Assured of
Full 15-Yeur Term

Joseph Campbell finally is
secure as Controller General.
The recess appointment he re-
ceived last December from Pres
ident Eisenhower was made good
for the full 15-year term when
the Senate late yesterday con-
firmed the nomination.
Senate approval came on a
voice vote with a few audible

ton was led by Senator Gore,
Democrat, of Tennessee. He
commended that Mr.. Campbell did
not have the legal or legislative
background necessary for the

U. 5. and Nationalist
Discount Reports
OF Big Red BuiIdup
BY the A.seeietsd Press

TAIPEI, Formosa. Mar. 10
Qualified sources here, both Ma
tionalist Chinese and American.
today discounted reports Of q
big Communist buildup on the
mainland area opposite Matsu
Island.
Information regarded here as
trustworthy suggests that recent
reports of the transfer of Red
jets to air bases in Fukien Prov
ince, off which both Matsu and
Quemoy are situated, are un-
founded.
One of these reports had it
that an air division was being
moved from Manchuria to Fukien
and would include MIG17s, an
improvement over the MIGl5 the
Communists used in Korea.
Could Change Overnight
This situation, it is conceded,
could change overnight once the
Reds are able to shift their air
strength southwark from the
Shanghai angchow- Ningpo re-
gion some $50 miles north of
MatSu.
But out of it has grown much
more confidence that under pres
ent circumstances the National
lists could put up a successful
defense Of Matsu, as well as
Quemoy $50 miles to the south.
The feeling is developing that
even If the Communists plan to
risk a collision with the United
States over Matsu and Quemoy,
it might take them six months
or more to get into a position
to strike at those islands with
adequate air cover.
No one is predicting this, of
course, as the situation is one
in which a prediction made to-
day can be COMPOUNDED tomor-
row.
No Imminent Threat
But for the moment there is no
sign of any imminent threat to
the offshore islands which the
defenders can't handle by them
selves. Only desultory Smelling
in the Quemoy area has occurred
in recent days and concentra-
tons of armed junks in the
Matsu area have been quickly
dispersed by air attack from
FormoSa.
The only action reported today
was the Nationalist air force
claim that patrol planes sank
150-ton Communist gunboat this
morning off Wenchow Bay. ITS
miles north of Formosa.
Official Nationalist sources
have asserted repeatedly in the
past two weeks that Matsu de-
lenses are being strengthened
and the garrison reinforced. They
give the impression that the
garrison of 5000 troops is being
strengthened up to 10000 men.
That is far stronger than the
garrison the Nationalist had on
the Tachens before those islands
were evacuated last month with
American help.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Mar. 10.
- Everywhere in this community
you meet folks who are mighty
proud of two, new neighbors,
President and Mrs. Eisenhower.
They are folks who expressed
the hope the Eisenhowers will
thoroughly enjoy their new home

who seem determined that the
President and his wife will have
as much privacy as possible.
The determination was pointed
up in the Gettysburg Times yes
terday in a page column
headed Here and There-News
Collected at Random" It read
this way:
"a few days ago President
Eisenhower spent his fisrt night
in his Gettysburg farmhouse in
complete privacy.
Thursday evening Mrs. Eisen-
hover and her mother, Mrs.
John So Doud, spent their first
night at the farm also in
complete privacy. Today the
President joined his First Lady
and until some time Saturday
they will enjoy their first owned
home in the seclusion they desire.
"They will have the privacy
they are entitled to on those few
occasions when they temporarily
set aside the cares of their public
life for a few hours of relaxation
at their historic farm.

Faure Compromises
On Tax Relief 10 GET
Arms Pact Action
BY In. Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. 19.-Anxious to
assure passage of the German
rearmament pacts. Premier Edgar
Faure made a compromise agree
ment today with parliamentary
hackers of a controversial tax re-
lief issue.
At one time during the heated
post-midnight debate on the tax
dodger issue, Mr.. Faure appeared
certain to be defeated.
The Premier had warned the
Assembly he would resign if de-
feated on a vote on the motion
calling for suppression of penal
ties against tax dogders.
Finally, the authors of the mo-
ton agreed to withdraw their
proposal for the time being. In
return, Mr.. Faure agreed to pre-
sent to the Assembly on March
% an outline of tax reforms
which he hopes will satisfy the
demands of the small business
man.
Had to Yield Further
Mi. Faure also agreed to leave
any business with less than so

volume free from the prying
eyes of rowing inspectors who
check on frauds in tax returns.
Mr.. Faure tried to avert q
showdown Thursday by agreeing
to withdraw his request for ex-
tensive special economic powers.
But that was not enough to still
unrest in the Assembly and he
had to give further ground to-
day.
Mr.. Faure made it clear he
was giving in only because he
considered Senate ratification of
the Paris treaties the most i'm
portant issue facing Parliament.
He told the deputies new gov
eminent crisis would cause fur
ther delay and asserted that the
world would not forgive any fur
ther French procrastination on
German rearmament.
The Senate is scheduled to
complete by March 25 Frances
ratification of the Paris pacts

sealing the French-German &C
cord on Europeanizing the coal
rich Saar.

Mr.. Faure and his government

scheme for recognizing the ma
tons tax structure so that the
little businessman will be APP

beat down efforts by opponents
OF German rearmament to force
an immediate new debate on the
Saar question.

proposed that the Saar debate
be held over until March 80.
On the first vote the Premler's
recommendation was defeated,
299-268. When he later re-
submitted the same schedule for
Assembly activity. however, he
squeezed through by a 287-282
vote.
