ARMS CUTS
Red Disorming Plan
Looks Good, but Still
Contains Big Jokers

Soviet Russias current peace Of
fensive moved into high gear last
Tuesday with the release of her
new disarmament plan. Most of
its new features were copied from
the Vests earlier proposals, but
there were enough evidences of con-
tinued Soviet bad faith to make
Washington and the allies extreme
ly wary.
The new Soviet plan had two i'm
provements and at least two big
jokers. These were the improve
ments:
Before. the Kremlin had insisted
that armed forces should be re-
duced by one third, across the board.
That would have preserved the
Communists numerical superiority.
Now, the Soviet Union has accepted
the Western powers scheme for
limiting military forces-land, sea
and air--to is million each for Rus
sia, Red China and the United
States, roughly 650,0o0 each for
Britain and France
Before, the Soviet Union wanted
to prohibit nuclear weapons and
start eliminating nuclear stockpiles
after half the reduction of con-
ventional military forces and arma-
ments had taken place. Now, Mos
COW has agreed with the Vests
proposal that nuclear stocks and
production should not be affected

MILITARY
No Dissenting Voice
Is Raised in House as
Money Bill Is Passed

How big an armed force should
the United States have?
The answer, of course, is: Big
enough to defend the country in the
next war and small enough for the
country to afford But no one can
tell exactly how big and how small
that is.
The House last week had to decide,
however. what kind of Army, Navy
and Air Force the country will have
in the fiscal year beginning July l..
It had to act on the fiscal 1856 ap-
preparation bill.
The decision was to do pretty
much what President Eisenhower rec
commended. Chairman Clarence
Cannon of the Appropriations Com
mittee put it to the House this way:
This is what the President asked for;
let's not run out on the greatest
military leader in the world"
Mr. Cannon added the opinion
that the next war would be decided
in only three or four days. and that
a bigger Army and Navy would be of
no use. The bill was passed, 382 to
0. without amendment.
The measure provided for reduc-
ton of the Army and Navy and a
slight increase for the Air Force
The Army would lose the most
$1,000 men. The Navy, including
the Marine Corps. would lose about
10000. The Air Force would gain
about 5000. BY June 80. 1856. the
armed services would stand at 1885,
900 men, down from 2,961 800.
The years defense, under the
House bill, would cost $31 ,490, ,000, ,000
This was some $745 million less than
the President originally had asked
for. The Appropriations Commit
tee knocked off that sum in a series
of changes it said were more a Jug
Cling of funds than reduction.

the United States, with an election
due in England May 26, was play
ing British politics. A top-level Big
Four conference has been favored
by British public opinion for a long
time, the theory goes. The Conserva-
tives can win votes if they can take
some credit for arranging it. And
the United States would much pre-
fer continued Conservative gov
ernment than change to the Labor
Party, whose life is SO complicated
by left-winger Aneurin Bevan.
Chancellor Adenauer and French
Premier Edgar Faure probably would
also win public support for their
part in arranging Big Four meet
ing. So the speculation went.
Other Reasons
Perhaps European public opinion
did have something to do with the
United States decision to go along
with top-level conference. But
there were other good reasons.
For one thing, this country has
been putting off such a meeting
until after Germany is safely inside
NATO, and until the Soviet Union
gives some indication that it will
bargain in good faith. Now Germany
has Joined NATO and the Kremlin
has agreed to an Austrian peace
treaty, an act of good faith by our
own definition. If we were to con-
tinue to procrastinate, we could be
accused of stalling.
There persists the thought, also,
that maybe something constructive
can result. despite Mr.. Eisenhower's
pessimistic speculation that after
about three days he will have to
turn over the haggling to the second
echelon.
There is yet another reason such
a meeting could be profitable. The
struggle for power continues inside
the Kremlin. Besides ex-Premier
Georgi Malenkov's curious comeback
there is the mounting influence of
the Soviet Arny-and rivalry inside
it between MarShals Zhukov and
Konev. President Eisenhower has
been in correspondence with zhukov.
Senator Walter George, the vet
eran Georgia Democrat. rebuked the
President last week for his public
pessimism about Big -Four prospects.
I'VE should have a positive, not q
defeatist attitude he said. "If we
are going to accomplish anything in
the world, we have to have such a
positive attitude and I'm afraid we
don't have it now
AS Senator George and the State
Department sensed, the world had
embarked on a period of intensive
diplomatic activity. 1t seemed GER
tain to continue through most Of
the summer.

had insisted on taking so per cent
of Austria's oil for 80 years, the
Communists now would settle for 80
per cent for 10 years. Moreover,
Soviet managers then would clear
out of the fields.
0 Reparations. Whereas Moscow
had always insisted on $3.50 million
in convertible currency" in return
for giving up its interests in $50
industrial enterprises into which it
had infiltrated, the Communists now
would settle for the same amount,
but in Austrian currency, or in kind.
This was a much happier arrange
ment for the Austrians, OF course,
because convertible currency (such
as dollars or Swiss francs) comes
hard.
shipping. Whereas Moscow for
Tlierly had insisted on retaining 100
per cent control of shipping on the
Danube River-very important in
Central Europe-the Kremlin now
agreed to return the shipping to
Austria for So million.
More Concessions
Two weeks ago in Vienna. Am
bassadors of the Big Four britain.
France, the Soviet Union and the
United States) met to put these
provisions into the Austrian treaty.
There Moscow made more conces-
sions:
o Refugees. Whereas formerly the
Communists fought for the right to
inspect refugee camps-and, in ef-
feet, to prevent escapes from behind
the Iron Curtain from going any
place except back behind 1.-THE
Kremlin dropped the whole idea.
Article Is of the treaty, which con-
tanned these refugee controls. was
scratched out.
0 Austrian military forces. Former
ly the Reds wanted to restrict Aus
tria to 53.000-man army and 10
combat planes. Last week they
dropped all restrictions on Austrian
military forces. which had been con-
tained in Article IT.
Economic concessions. Up to
the last minute, the Kremlin kept
insisting its economic concessions
negotiated in Moscow should not be
made part of the treaty. Britain,
France and the United States in
sisted they must be. Article IS,
which contained the outmoded
Soviet demands on Austria, would
have conflicted directly with the
two-power agreement. Last Friday
afternoon, however. the Commu-
nists relented once more.
Austrians were elated. The West
ern Big Three was openly pleased.
Foreign ministers of the four oc-
cupying powers were scheduled to
meet in Vienna today for the formal
signing. No trouble in getting four
power ratification was foreseen.
The treaty provides that all for
eign troops, will be removed from
Austria by the end of this year.

themselves for having finally brought
off the absorption of Germany into
their defense setup. But few OF
them had visions of anything spec
tacular coming out of the Big Four.
President Eisenhower. who had
reversed his recent policy of having
the foreign ministers lay the ground
work for top-level conference.
was hardly enthusiastic about pros
poets. He said he had only "a
vague feeling some good might come
out of such a conference"
1t would be test of Soviet sin
cerity. he said, but he did not ex-
pect that in few weeks this
world is going to be turned around
by no means"
High Soviet officials were receptive
to the idea of a top-level conference.
In Warsaw, Premier Bulganin well
coined the idea. In Moscow, the
word spread that the Kremlin took
positive" attitude toward the pro-
posal.
Last night in Vienna, Soviet For
eign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov
announced Marshal Bulganin def
initely would attend the top-level
meeting. Surprisingly, he made no
request for Red Chinese representa-
tion. 1t was conceivable such de-
mand might still develop. either in
Vienna today or later.

POSTAL
$3.50 Pay Rise Puts
President in Midst
Of Big Tug-of-Wor

The President found himself in
the middle Of another tug-of war
last week when Congress sent him
a bill to increase the pay of 100000
postal workers.
The President has said the Post
Office employees deserve q cost-of-
living increase-say about per
cent. But Congress last week
wrapped up a bill calling for 8.8
per cent. And the Presidents fiscal
advisers told him that 76 per cent
should be the absolute limit.
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield said he would recon-
mend the bill be vetoed. But last
weeks votes on final passage of the
measure-326 to SO in the House
and 66 to IL in the Senate-indi-
Gated veto might be overridden.
A two-thirds vote in both houses
is needed to override veto.
The President himself gave no
indication of his decision. The
White House said only that he was
studying the bill. Chances were the

some falloff in the number Of chill
dren requesting shots.
In Canada, provincial govern
ments are using vaccine produced in
Canada by the Salk formula. Can
ada was in on the development
program from the start. A Univer-
sity of Toronto biochemisk DR.. Jo-
seph F. Morgan, discovered the
synthetic medium needed to grow
the polio virus The Canadian gov
ernment then followed the Salk re-
search closely, producing its own
vaccine.
Canada has enough vaccine to
inoculate million of its 4.3 mil
lion children under Is. AS only one
case of polio after vaccination has
turned up, Canada is going ahead
with it's program
Q What is the outlook for the vac
cination program?
All persons concerned with the
program, from President Eisenhower
to DR.. Scheele to DR.. Jonas Salk
himself, said they were sure vac
cination would be resumed on a
full scale.
There still is no indication the
vaccine is unsound. The outlook is
for almost complete eradication ot
polio, once Salk shots become as
routine as smallpox vaccinations.
Other vaccines ran into similar
trouble when they shifted from the
laboratories to full-scale use. The
1854 field tests probably took most
of the bugs out of the polio vac
cination program. Last week it
seemed that. at worse. only a few
more bugs had been turned up.

STATEHOOD
Territories Ambition
Is Rebuffed Again
BY Bipartisan Vote

The first bill to make a State out
Of Hawaii was introduced in Con-
gress in 1919 by the Hawaiian Dele
gate, Prince j. Kuhio Kalanianaole.
The first Alaska statehood bill was
introduced in 1915 by Delegate
James Wickershan.
In the almost 40 years since the
first bill was introduced, Congress
has talked at length about state
hood for the two Territories. has
voted on it occasionally, but has
never approved it.
Again last week Hawaii and
Alaska were rebuffed. The House
turned them down in a joint bill,
218 to ITO. The chances were that
that was that for statehood in the
84th Congress.
1t was a disheartening setback
for the Territories, but they could
take some comfort in the fact that
New Mexico had to work even
longer for statehood. New Mexico
spent 62 years on the outside look
ing in.
The Same Old Arguments
They could also take some COM
fort from the fact that arguments
heard in the House last week against
Hawaii and Alaska were virtually
the same as those raised against
present States.
Hawaii and Alaska are too small,
critics said. To give them two Sem
ators would be an injustice to other
States. The same thing was said
about almost every new State.
Hawaii and Alaska are too far
away. That was the big argument
against Maine and California and
even Illinois.
One must travel over foreign ter
ritory or international waters to
reach Hawaii and Alaska. The
same things were said about Cali
fornia.
Two New Arguments
There were two new arguments:
Hawaii has too many Communists,
and the two Territories never could
be contiguous to continental United
States.
Chances were that most opponents
of the bill were swayed by political
arguments, however. Democrats
wanted Democratic Alaska admitted
first; Republicans wanted Republic
can Hawaii. And Southern Demo-
Gratis were strictly opposed to ad-
mission of multiracial Hawaii. as
she no doubt would send a pro-civil
rights delegation to Congress.
Some observers thought there
would be a try for a different ap-
proach to the Hawaii-Alaska prob
lem. For instance, make them both
commonwealths, as Puerto Rico is
today. But Hawaii and Alaska are
now incorporated Territories" le-
gally part of the United States and
under its Constitution-as Puerto
Rico never was. Is it constitutional
for Hawaii and Alaska to "secede"
and become Commonwealths? Ha-
waiian and Alaskan spokesmen think
not.
Another possibility would be COM
plete home rule. But again legal
complications and Territorial opposi-
tion would stand in the way
But certainly 1856 would see some
sort of try for a better status for
Hawaii and Alaska.

Treaty Possible

she would not evacuate Austria un-
TIL a German treaty was signed
meaning a treaty covering both
halves Of Germany.
Last Easter Monday, however,
Austrian Chancellor julius Raab
went to Moscow to find the Reds
singing different tune. The Soviet
Union would be glad to remove its
occupation troops before a German
treaty was signed Herr Raab was
told. In fact. it could be arranged
by next November.
In addition, the Kremlin made
three other significant concessions:

What Topics?

Correspondents In Paris got the
impression that the conference
might be one the diplomats had been
forced into by home public opinion.
A look at the probable agenda
tended to confirm the diplomats
reservations. Reunification of Ger
many probably would be the top
item to be discussed by both the
chiefs of government and their for
eign ministers. But it would be
unrealistic to think that Soviet Rus
sia would agree to free elections in
East Germany. The Communists
know they would lose, and their
dictatorship would be exposed. That
might trigger whole series of revo-
lutions in Moscow's other East Eu-
ropean satellites.
The West, for it's part, certainly
would not be willing to settle for
anything short of free elections. AS
for Moscow's suggestion that all
foreign troops be withdrawn from
Germany-that the ex-enemy be
neutralized-the West could hardly
agree. Russia would withdraw a
few hundred miles. The strong
American contingent would have to
back up 5000 miles across the At
lantic.
The NeutroIist Pitch
Neutralism might appeal more to
the Germans themselves than to the
West, however. It is here the So
Wet Union apparently intends to
concentrate its efforts in the imme-
diate future. 1t will be up to the
anti-Communist countries of NATO
in the times ahead to hold German
public opinion on their side. This
will be possibly more difficult #
79-year-old Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer dies.
Secretly, 1t is reported, neither
France nor Britain would like to see
Germany reunited. That would
make her the strongest power in
Western Europe, without a doubt.
They all fear that a neutrality
pledge would be good only in the
absence of another Hitler. They
aren't sure that absence would pre-
vail very long. -
Turning to the Far East, which
President Eisenhower apparently ex-
poets to be discussed in the prospec-
tive Big Four meeting, the best hope
for settlement lies in an undeclared
cease-flre. Noisy bargaining on the
subject would merely postpone the
prospect and probably will not be
INDUCED in.
Only other broad topic for discus
sion that appears at the moment is
disarmament. Here Soviet Russia
has indicated willingness to make
concessions, but still persists in
keeping enough jokers in her plan to
raise doubt that she would seri-
ously negotiate. (See Arms Cuts"
