A personal income tax cut
tied to q proposed extension OF

Some Democratic strategists
were reported as believing the
combined action might give the
bill q chance for passage despite

from President Eisenhower and
Chairman Byrd, Democrat. Of

u. S. Stand in Far East Hailed
Congressional Approval Of Move by Eisenhower
Called Real Hope for Avertino Lorge-Scole War

It is the nearest thing 70 q
showdown which has come
from any nation In the free
world since the Korean war
ended in q stalemate and IndO-
China saw defeat. At last the
United States forced by cif-
cumstances to stand alone
has given an example OF firm
ness and resoiuteness which
somehow the United Nations
as an alliance thus far has
, failed to give from the day it
authorized the Intervention in
Korea.
There are misgivings of yari1
Gus kinds, to be sure, among
many members Of Congress
who voted for the resolution.
Some Of these fears are that
sooner or later the insidious
influence of the appeaser ele-
inents in world chancelleries
will be felt in Washington as.
efforts are made to create ..two.
Chinas' and finally TO reward
the Chinese aggressor with a.
seat in the United Nations de-.

for aggression committed.
The American prisoners,
moreover, have not yet been
released by Communist China
There Is a possibility, too, Of
more skirnishing in and
around the islands just OF the
coast of China. All this can
produce clouds on the horizon.
But In the main there is rea-
son for confidence and for
assurance because the govern
fnent Of the United States is
keeping faith with the young
men who died in Korea to up
hold the principle of collec-
tive security. For while the
joint resolution passed by Con-
gresS was the act of one Gov
ernment to defend its own
vital interests. 1t was also a
step taken for the collective
protection of Korea, Japan
the Philippines, and Southeast
Asia.

CURED when Joseph Campbell
resigned to accept the Presi-
dents nomination as Control
Ter General. That appointment
is in trouble too.
Congress feels that the Com
troller General is its watchdog
of the Treasury. Republicans
in both House and Senate had
their own candidates last year
and were as unenthusiasticI
about MIR. Campbell as the new
Democratic majority is likely
to be.
Democrats protest that he
helped push the Dixon Yates

saving the fifth Acc berth for
Mr.. Campbell, should he fail to
secure the CG post, it is not

The institution Of war has so

Gen. Macarthur once said

more armies or arms beyond

The crisis is by no means

lots Of pitfalls ahead includ-
ing the possible consequences
of a tragic misunderstanding
of American purpose which
seems to be chronic in some

seeing the overall picture Of
an American stand against ag-
gression in Asia and the favor
able effects which this must
necessarily have on the pres

the minds of the Asian peoples,
there is a tendency in some

that the more one yields the

President Eisenhower's

Reds In their tracks. The
Chinese Reds hleated and
threatened when the whole

around Formosa. But 1t was
noted in Washington that they

There is temporarily sub
dued anger In congressional
quarters over the latest at
tempt at appeasement Of the
Chinese Communists by the
British government.
According to London and
Moscow dispatches. this Brit
ish effort Is with the consent
Of the State Department. How
ever. it is reported In com.
petent circles that Secretary
Dulles has not given his ap-
proval to the four-point Brit
ish program. but London ap-
parently is interpreting Presi-
dent Eisenhower's approval Of
United Nations discussion as
confirmation Of its Formosan
terms.
Nobody here opposes q just
settlement Of the present crisis
in the FornoSa Strait. But it
is hard to understand how the
United States could accept q
so-called compromise which
gives the enemy every advan-
tage but offers us none.
The British propose that in
exchange for q fiimsy promise
by the Chinese Communists not
to attack FormoSa the Nation
alistS surrender peacefully the
Tachen, Mansu and Quemoy
Islands. And after this trans
fer the British win urge that
the United Nations give fresh
consideration to admitting
Communist China to that body.
What this really amounts TO
Is that the British government,
which officially submitted its
offer to Moscow and Peiping, is
willing to permit Communist
China to shoot its way into the

Congress to Check Up on Acc

Of Confusion Created by One-Mom Rule of Strauss

Chairman Anderson of the

Strauss Of the Atomic Energy
Commission that the Atomic

mission to make a complete

within the first so days of the
new Congress.
This is more polite than
Senator Hickenloper's attack
on former Acc Chairman liz
lienthal for Incredible mis-
management" during the 80th
Congress but the idea is
roughly the same. In prolonged
hearings going far beyond the
controversial Dixon Yates con-
tract, Democrats expect to de-
Velop a picture OF one-n1an rule
by Strauss which has stalled
and confused the supposed
five-man commission.
The Strauss policies will
then come under fire against
the background of his personal
attitudes. A major target is
Aces dealing with private
atom plants on terms not now

here. as with Dixon Yates,
they can successfully raise the

Dixon Yates. The Joint Com
mittee has now recommended
that Acc cancel the moot
