Congress said that the Federal

Mr.. Eisenhower indicated there
could be a moderate reduction

Adenauer Charges

BONN. Germany, Feb. 19.-
Chancellor Adenauer's govern

West German Trade Union Fed
Grafton is "endangering our
democratic system" by support
ing the Socialist cam PAL g n
against West German rearma-
ment.
The government said the fed
eration-which claims six million
MEMBERSHIPS given satisfac-
ton to the Russians and the
Communists" by abandoning po-
litical neutrality in the heated
debate over the Paris rearma-
ment treaties.
The federation's executive
committee called on Parliament
Thursday to delay ratification
Of the treaties until Big Four
talks on German unification are
held. The committee warned
that early ratification would en-
danger unification.
The government said the COM
mittee has thus unequivocally
aligned itself on the side of the
Socialists. Certain circles inside
the leadership of the Trade
Union Federation obviously want
to make the labor movement a
fellow traveller of the Socialist
party"

that its application now was a
clear case of "prolepsis." Web

Mr.. Sharfman approvingly
designated Mr.. Watson as an
"articulate man." and suggested
that the witness. who was trying
to read a statement called "A
Fourth of July grafton" by FEC
lawyers, was not of the 'terse

At the most critical of mo-
ments. the desire for exact def

lawyer, Mr.. Brown, offered to
stipulate with the Government
that turnabout witness Natvig
had never told the truth. Mrs
Natvig's face fell.
Where does that leave me?"
she asked plaintively. I'm flesh
and blood. I'm not an anony-
nous ghost"
Mr.. Sharfman leaned forward
and eyed her kindly. You're a

the $40 reduction plan would re-
suit in a saving to taxpayers of
$1.4 billion a year or $700 mil
lion for the half of fiscal 1856

apply.
The Speaker refused to pre-
dict how the House or the Sen
ate would react to the amend

that the tax cut would be hard
to defeat and very difficult for
Mr.. Eisenhower to veto because

for two and one-half hours to-
day preparatory to their depar-
ture tonight for the Bangkok
SEATO conference.
When his plane landed from
California at $40 this morning
(1:40 pm, EST, Mr.. Dulles
said the recent show Of strength
in the Formosan area should
provide a helpful lesson to any
potential aggressor.
Fifty minutes later Dulles went
to the headquarters Of the man
who directed that show, Admiral
Stump, where he remained until
noon. The long meeting sur
prised naval officers at Pacific
headquarters. Mr.. Dulles had
said he wanted a minimum Of
honors and conferences and
wanted to rest while here. There
was a steady stream of staff Of
ficers in and out of Admiral
Stump's office during their long
conference, a navy source said.
Dine Together.
No meeting was scheduled for
this afternoon, but Mr.. Dulles
and his wife were to dine at
the Stump home before the two
men and their wives left for
Manila and Bangkok. Their de-
parture was expected at about
10 pm. tonight $500 am. Sun
day, ESTo
There was no announcement
of what they talked about, but
on his arrival Mr.. Dulles said
in a prepared statement he would
confer with Admiral Stump and
wanted to hear details Of the
Tachen evacuation.
They presumably will leave on
separate planes but one source
said that at the last minute they
might decide to 60 together in
Dulles plane.
In q brief talk with newsmen
who met his plane this morning
the unsmiling Secretary Of State
said he saw nothing new" in
the Russian proposal to freeze
world ornaments and destroy
all atomic and hydrogen weap-
onS.
Credit to Admiral.
In a statement, Mr.. Dulles
concentrated on the Tachen
evacuation, for which he gave
full credit to Admiral Stump.
". want him to tell me
here of the details about the
splendid assistance which was
rendered to the forces of the
Republic of China to enable
them to regroup for the greater
security of the Formosa area.
''This deployment from the
Tachen Islands was carried
through without an incident and
without a casualty. That was
due to Admiral Stump and the
forces under his command. They
provided an umbrella of military
might which effectively deter
red the Chinese Communist air
and naval forces from any efforts
at intervention. All Of our people
will want me to say to Admiral
Stump and those under his COM
mand, "Wel1 DONE"
