PNOM PENN, Cambodia.-
The United States. striving to
shore up free-world defenses in
Indo-China, has decided to pay
for a vastly improved Cambodian
army.
But the French will train it.
This is the gist of the mill
tary assistance agreement which
United States Ambassador Rob-
ert r. McClintock is negotiating
with the Cambodian government.
The new King and Queen Of
Cambodia, as we'll as their chief
advisers. already have agreed in
principle with most of the
American plan. Remaining de-
tails are expected to be approved
shortly.
French sim Influential -,
The arrangement clearly re-
fleets the continued influence OF
the French, despite their with.
drawal from this part Of the
world as a colonial power. They
insisted successfully that. as a
matter of honor. they should be
allowed to continue to train the
Cambodian army. They insisted
successfully that they not be
under the command of the
American Military Advisory
Group that will be established
here.
The French also insisted-this
time unsuccessfully-that they
be placed on the United States
payroll. Mr.. McClintok baked
at that.
He also has made clear that
the French must teach the Cam
bodians aggressive American tao
tics. The old Diem Bien Phu
philosophy of fixed defenses
must go.
The French also must teach
the Cambodians the American
system of organization and, of
course, the use of American
weapons which the United States
will supply.
Army in Sorry State
How this will work out can
not be predicted. France has the
men with the experience and
language facility to train the
Cambodians, but the record so
far is not good: The French
trained Cambodlan army is in a
sorry state.
The Cambodian army has only
one officer for each 81 enlisted
men-compared with a ratio of
one officer to Is enlisted men in
the United States Army. The
command is highly centralized
so that most of the brass Is in
Prom Penh-and without radio
communications to the field
units.
The Cambodian soldiers have
a hodge-podge of British, Jap
anese, French and American
equipment that would produce a
logistical nightmare in case of
combat.
The army has 10 cannon, all
in fixed positions. The air force
and navy are piddling.
The greatest asset the Cam
bodian armed forces have, in the
American view, is an appreciation
Of their inadequacies and a will
ingness to get on with the Job
of improvement.
The Cambodian government
wants to double the size of its
armed forces, which now total
$4,000 men. The United States

Ex-DipIomot Says
Act Signals End
Of Appeusement
By L Edeor Primo

Former Ambassador Arthur
Bliss Lane said today that pub
lication of the Yalta papers is
an implied reputation of that
wartime Big Three agreement
by the United States.
He asserted that this thought
if properly conveyed" by the
Voice of America and our over
seas information programs
could have a profound effect
behind the Iron Curtain.
ut would indicate to those
sad and silent peoples that the
United States no longer stands
for a policy of appeasement
containment or peaceful CO.
existence, whatever that last ex-
preston means" he said.
Mr.. Lane was named Ambas-
sador to Poland by President
Roosevelt in 1914 and served I'M
til 1947. He then retired, after
81 years in the foreign service,
so that he could speak out
against what he calls "the grav-
ity of the crime of Yalta."
Independent in Politics
He has been especially con-
cerned with the effect the Feb
ruary. 1945, agreement had on
! the Polish people. His book, II
Saw Poland Betrayed" was pub
lished early in 1913. He is an
avowed political independent.
although a vigorous supporter of
the Eisenhower foreign policy.
According to the former envoy.
PUBLICATION of the Yalta papers
has this educational value: "It
will teach the American people
that the executive branch should
not be allowed to take action
in changing frontiers and peoples
without the consent of the Sen
ate"
Mr.. Lanes principal criticisms
Of the Yalta agreement are that
the United States signed a pact
putting millions of Poles into
the Soviet Union (by changing
that nations frontiers) and "giv-
ing Poland a Communist govern
ment without consent of the
Polish people"
Lacks Democratic Guarantees
While the Soviet Union
pledged free elections for Poland
at Yalta, Mr.. Lane said that the
United States did not exact the
guarantees to assure such
democratic process.
ut is not enough to say that
Stain violated the agreements"
Mr.. Lane declared.
He recalled that he pointed out
to Secretary of State Stettinius
in December, 1914, that the
United States was contributing
millions of dollars worth of mill
tary equipment to Great Britain
and the Soviet Union and had
the most powerful Army, Navy
and Air Force in the world.
Therefore, he told the Secretary.
the United States should and
could see that the Polish people
were given the chance to select
their own government.
People Were "Stupefied"
Mr.. Lane branded as "prepos-
ferrous" the Soviet concession"
to broaden the Moscow-dominat-
ed Lublin regime in Poland by in
Guiding other political parties. He
said that "once you have a Com
munist core in the government,
you have a nation controlled by
Communists"
He disclosed that he found
the Polish people "stupefied" by
Yalta, adding:

ciples Of the Atlantic Charter

China Reds Initiate

NEW YORK, Mar. 22.-Sec-
rotary of State Dulles said yes

aggressive fanaticism.
They are dizzy with success"
Mr.. Dulles said. and have an
exaggerated sense of their own
power"
Though Russia may be more
dangerous to the free world in
the long run, Mr.. Dulles said.
''in the short run. the Chinese
Communist method may prove
more dangerous and provoca-
tive Of war"

is a somber one," Mr.. Dulles
told an Advertising Club lunch

hopeless one.
81 believe that there is still
time to bring the Chinese Com
munists to a more sober mood.
The fact is that their so-called
successes have contributing
causes. Among these have been
the restraint and patience Of
the free nations and their love
Of peace"
Forebearance From Strength.
Mr.. Dulles said this does not
mean the free nations are weak
and fearful. He said this fore
bearance stems from strength
and resolution"
With these qualities. the free
nations can afford to be patient
up to the point where patience
is clearly productive only of dam
gerous misunderstanding and in
creased risk" he said. adding:
1.-THE task of peacefully bring
ing the Chinese Communists to
see that reality is one of utmost
difficulty"
A major step in that direction,
he said, was "the action whereby
Congress. with virtual unanimity,
authorized the President to use
the armed forces of the United
States in the Formosa area"
"Sense of Intoxication"
Mr.. Dulles said "It Is not sur
prising that the Chinese leaders
should feel certain sense of
intoxication. They have, with
impunity, three times challenged
and rebuffed the United Ma
tions."
He added that the Reds seem
to feel the entire free world in
the Western Pacific is "ripe to !
crumble under the impact of
their successive thrusts."

|S2.3BiIIion Funds Bill
Hits JobIess Pay 10
u. 5. Aides Who Quit
By Robert. K. Welsh

with an Amendment aimee
against unemployment compen-
sation payments to Federal en-
ployes who voluntarily quit theil
jobs, a $2.3 billion appropriation
bill to finance the Labor and the
Health, Education and Welfare
Departments headed for the
Senate today.
The measure, second of the
regular 1855 fiscal year supply
bills passed by the House within
a week. was passed in that
branch late yesterday. The Post
Office Treasury bill was the
first.
Other Items Not Protested
Debate brought out no opposi-
ton to requested funds for sew
eral institutions or agencies in
the District. The bill includes a
81, 1926 900 item for two buildiI gs
at Gallaudet College. and $780,
900 for salaries and expenses
there, an increase of $129, 000
over amounts available for the
current fiscal year.
Other allotments were $780,
800, for four construction prof.
ects at Howard University. 81
$50, 900 for salaries and expenses
at Freedman's Hospital. $2.5
million for salaries and expenses
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital. and
$3.50, 900 to complete plans for a
maximum security building at
that hospital.
The only amendment offered
and accepted was a proposal by
Representative Taber, Republic
can of New York. 1t would ban
use of Federal funds estimated
at 81 million. for State systems
that pay unemployment COM
pensation to Federal employees
who voluntarily leave their jobs.
Mr.. Taber declared he dis
liked the principle of the thing.
He warned that if the principle
were universally recognized in
the States, it eventually would
wreck the unemployment COM
pensation system.
Democrats Protest
Democrats protested that most
States have such a ban now.
They said the Federal Govern
ment should not attempt to set
up standards of that kind for
States. They also contended
that an amendment of this kind
amounted to legislation that
should not be written into an ap-
preparation bill.
The amendment was adopted
by a standing vote of only AZ to
26, subject to reversal on a final
vote on the overall bill. But on
the final vote the Democrats
made no move to demand a roll
call. This left to the Senate any
further attempt to eliminate the
Taber amendment.
The bill, as sent to the Senate,
would give the Labor Depart
ment $417,792,900 for the fiscal
year beginning July /. 1t allots
a total of $1,907 ,4O3,361 to the
Health, Education and Welfare
Department, about S119 million
less than the Eisenhower admin
lstration requested. Various other
agencies such as the National
Labor Relations Board and the
Federal Mediation and Councili-
alton Service received amounts

said. when it became apparent
that the Denver water diversion
project might lower the stream
level to such an extent as to spoil
the fishing next year.
So they had a new channel
cut with the purpose Of slowing
down the flow, and in doing
that created few deep pools
where trout like to Turk.
To those who are not schooled
in the way Of the willy trout, per-
haps 1t doesn't make too much
sense. But Fishermen Eisen-
hover and Nielsen are convinced
they have improved their
chances. .
The President motored here
from Denver Monday. He caught
seven trout a few hours after
arriving. but his luck fell OF yes

That had no effect on his en-

himself thoroughly despite cold

self as an example of a man who
had licked the dope habit.
The interruption took the
Senate Narcotics subcommittee
by surprise because they had ex-
pected to keep MIR. Ross under
wraps until they move their

The unexpected appearance
came When DR.. Fred s. Bald,
warden of Rockview Penitentiary
at Bellefonte. Pa, told the sub
committee that the addicts say
they want TO be cured, but I'd
like to meet one addict who has
refrained from the habit for 10
years."
Sat Near Witness
Mr.. Ross, who had asked a

witness because Of a deafness
lin one ear, was only a few feet
away when DR.. Bald made his
statement. The former prize
tighter arose to his feet.
Excuse me-" he said. "but

DR.. Baldi looked startled but
his professional interest imme-
Idiateiy asserted itself.
"HoW long have you been on
the habit?" the warden asked.
Eight years, and I'm ready
Ito stand a blood test to prove it. >
responded Mr.. Ross.
The witness and the fighter
shook hands and Mr.. Ross re-
sumed his seat.

DR.. Bald obviously couldn't
get MIR. Ross out of his mind at
one point later. He told the
