Presidents S Remark
On Aggressive War
Sets Off Controversy
Doesn't Imply Change
In Policy. Aides Soy. but
Capitol Hill Is Puzzled

President Eisenhower's pro-
nouncement against being a
party to any aggressive war in
the Far East touched off a con-
troversy among members OF
Congress today as to it's exact
meaning and possible effect.
The President was asked at his
news conference yesterday about
a recent statement by Chang
Kai-shek that the Chinese Ma
tionalists expect United States
moral and logistical. support for
reinvasion of the Chinese main
land. Mr.. Eisenhower declared
in reply: THE United States is
not going to be a party to any
aggressive war; that is the best
answer can make"
interpretations Vary.
The Presidents statement
was viewed in some quarters as
being open to an Interpretation
that implied any attempt by
the Chinese Nationalists to re-
occupy the Communist held
China mainland would be ag-
gression. There was speculation
also as to whether such a view
would amount to a change in
American policy recognizing the
Nationalists as the legal gov
ernment of China.
High executive officials ex-
| planned, however, that the
President intended no such i'm
plication. They said that while
a Nationalist invasion of the
China mainland might be con-
sidered aggression tomorrow, it
would not necessarily be ag-
gression under circumstances
that might develop in the future.

House press secretary. replied

entitled mo slums in 10 years"
In approving the plan, as
recommended February z by
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane. Commissioner Samuel
Spencer stressed that I'VE are
approving in principle only and
not in detail. A lot of those
have to be worked out later.
There are a lot of specific rec
concentrations that we are GER
tainly not approving at this
time"
Such details included designa-
ton Of nine areas for stringent
rehabilitation and of two areas
for complete redevelopment by
slum clearence and construction.
6 Suggestions Adopted.
Specifically, the Commissioners
today adopted six suggestions
made by Col. Lane and approved
In principle last week by the
Citizens Advisory Council. These
we're:
/. That the Commissioners ap-
prove the general urban renewal
program in principle.
2. That an Office of Urban
Renewal be established under
an assistant engineer commits
sioner and that the initial staff
now authorized to carry out the
administrative responsibility Of
that Office, one GS-11 employe
and one GS-5, be appointed.
3. That the Commissioners di-
rect the assistant engineer COM
missioner for urban renewal to
submit recommendations for
creation of an Urban Renewal
Council and an Urban Renewal
Operations Committee.
4. That the assistant engineer
commissioner for urban re-
newal prepare a letter for the
Commissioners to send to the
Federal Housing and Home FL
nance Agency establishing need
for Government mortgage in
surance for low cost, privately
financed housing.
5. That the assistant engineer
commissioner also seek to OBJ
tain share of a S. million
Federal grant for experimental
work in Slum clearance.
6. That the Commissioners
again ask Congress to drop a
ban against slum clearance OPP
erations at Marshall Heights and
Barry Farms.
Affects $1,000 Dwellings.
The overall aim of the Keith
Rouse recommendations is to re-
habilitate or replace an esti-
mated $4,000 deficient dwelling
units - about one-fourth of
Washington's total housing sup
ply. The consultants further
envision firm enforcement of a
District housing code, still being
drafted, to prevent housing from
slipping into decay.
Cost of the 10-year program
would be in the neighborhood of
5000 million. part of which would
be betrayed by Federal grants
