Mr.. Martin said the President
was anxious for action on his

Cites Deficit Financing
Mr.. Martin said there is con-
siderable objection in the House
to the Gore bill because it calls
for ST billion in deficit financing.
The Senate vote on recommittal
is expected to be extremely close
and could go either way by a
small margin. There are a num-
Der of cross currents that make
the outcome doubtful.
To start with, there are sew

will vote against the Gore bill.
On the other hand, friends of
the Gore bill believe they have
several Republicans who will
vote against the Eisenhower

two or three other Republicans
will cast their first vote for the

Role in Cold War

President Eisenhower today
told the Nations radio and tele-

great responsibility in winning

The President said the free
world depends on the prompt
and truthful dissemination of
information to the public. In
informing the public. he said,

of radio and television, Mr.. Eli

extent that limited air space
must be allocated fairly. Be-

Dulles Says U. S. Opposes
West German Neutrality
ExpIoins Views
Of President to
Bonn Regime

The United States has in
formed the Bonn government
that it does not want to see
West Germany--or a unified
Germany-as neutral in the
East-West struggle.
Secretary of State Dulles dis
closed today that President Eli
senhower had authorized him
to tell the West Germans that
the Presidents recent news con-
ference remarks on a neutral
belt in middle Europe were mot
to be interpreted" as an accep-
lance on this Nations part Of
"a role of neutrality for the Fed
eral German Republic"
Mr.. Dulles added that the
same American viewpoint would
apply to a unified Germany.
At his news conference last
Wednesday the President talked
about the naturalization Of
Austria. which he compared
with the armed neutrality Of
Switzerland. He said that was
different than leaving a military
vacuum. He did not comment
directly on the supposed Soviet
aim of a corridor of neutral ma
tions.
Interprets Presidents Remark
The Secretary told his news
conference today that Heinz
Krekeler, the West German Am
bassador, subsequently asked
him for an Interpretation of the
Presidents remarks. Mr.. Dulles
said that he was then authorized
by MIR. Eisenhower to reply to
Mr.. Krekeler and did so.
West Germany recently be-
came a full partner in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization
and thus militarily tied to the
United States. 1t has been au-
thorized to raise armed forces
of 100000 men, including an
army of IL divisions.
Mr.. Dulles said that it was
one thing to talk about neutral
ity for Austria and its seven
million people and another
thing for Germany. which has q
total population of n million.
He recalled that the recently
signed Austrian independence
treaty placed no limit on the
size of her army, He added
that neither we nor Western
Europe wanted to see a neutral
Germany with unlimited armed
forces.
Notes Russian Change
In a prepared statement which
he read to newsmen Mr.. Dulles
referred to recent developments
involving Russia and said that
it was not possible as vet ito
grasp the full significance" Of
what is taking place.
But he said it was clear that
the policy of building unity and
strength in the free world plus
the failure of the Russians to
disrupt it, and the strains they
are undergoing themselves. "un-
doubtedly require a radical
change of tactics on the part Of
the Soviet Union" which is illus
trated by their new attitudes to-
ward Austria and Yugoslavia.
No doubt these tactics will in-
volve some risks to the free ma
tions," he asserted. ALSO they
will surely bring vast new OPP
portunities. The essential thing
is that we should adhere to the

Senator Bridges of New Hamp-
shire said today Republicans will
try to send the highway expan-
sion bill back to committee for
further study if they fail to
put over the Eisenhower To-
year bond issue plan in the Sem
ate tomorrow.
He made the statement after
Republican Senators had been
in party conference on the is
sue for two hours this morning.
Before the conference began
other Republican leaders adj
mitted they do not have the
votes to carry the Presidents
program.
SIS Billion in 5 Years
The recommittal motion would
be aimed at the Democratic
substitute sponsored by Sena-
tor Gore of Tennessee, under
which $18 billion would be spent
in five years on all types Of
highway construction. The Ei-
senhower bill would concentrate
on finishing the croSS-country
interstate system with a SCI
billion long term bond issue.
The Gore bill contains several
amendments to which some
Democrats object. regulating the
size of trucks and applying Fed
eral wage standards to interstate
highway work. Senator Bridges
believes the Republicans have a
chance to pick up some Demo-
cratic votes to re-commit unless
these amendments are taken out.
Meanwhile House Republican
Leader Martin said he believes
the House will pass highway
legislation along the lines of

Bishop Browns on Equality of Sexes

BLACKPOOL, England, R-A Church of England bishop, who says he does not believe in the equality of the sexes, planes much of today's moral delinquen- cy on women trying to be some thing they're never meant to be.
 Speaking Friday night to local organization which looks after young girls, the Rt. Rev. Alice Hoskyns-Abrahall, bishop of Lan- caster, said that to put men and women on an equal basis "when they are psychologically and physically so entirely different can lead to some awful trouble"
 T do not believe in equality of the sexes and, please God, never will" the 51-year- -old bishop add ed. What do most bright things today mean by equality?-the freedom to behave as a man be- hayes.
 "They try to add to their natur- al vices and then feel they have reached mans status. They have n't. They have sunk below it." But the bishop, who is married and has three children, said that women are the stronger sex.
 "They have proved that time and time again by their courage" he said, 'by the way they bear pain and by the sacrifices they make for their homes and their families"
