lations committee disclosed yes

The committee made the dis
closure in a report urging Senate
approval of President Eisen-
hower's $3.5 billion foreign aid
program.
1t said the plan would be ready
this fall. but gave few details.
The foreign aid bill goes before
the Senate for debate Tuesday.
Passage is expected later in the
week.
The committee report said
that it would seem unrealistic
to expect that the military as
Sistence program can be reduced
appreciably below its present
level in the immediate future"
In a survey of world condi-
tionS, the committee said:
1.-THE Soviet bloc continues to
build up its military strength
but there is evidence to suggest
that the Soviets now are putting
even greater stress on the politi-
cal and economic aspects of their
activities.
This may be due in part to
the success of the free worlds
efforts to counter aggression. so
that the Soviets, finding the
price of military action too high,
are turning to the techniques of
economic and political infiltra-
ton and subversion."

sensitive to such an accusation
than the Tory leaders themselves.
Thus Chancellor of the Exche-
quer Butler has gone out of his
way to stress the sober realiza-
tion of responsibilities" called for
in the new government while
Lord Woolton, party secretary,
proclaims loudly that what we
are going m for now is progress
siVe government" On the sur
face, there is every reason why
this should be true. The predic-
tion of a swing toward "tradi-
tional Toryism" depended, first
of all. on a far more sweeping
victory for Conservatives than
actually occurred. The present
majority of SO seats represents
a great improvement over the
last election, but it is hardly
enough to encourage anyone to
lose his head.
New Opportunity
In fact. from a neutral point
of view, the new Tory edge
would seem almost ideal. 1t is
big enough. say the experts, to
take some of the pressure of
the government and give indi-
vidual members a new .oppor-
tunity to get to know their
constituents. At the same time,
it is small enough to avoid de-
moralizing the opposition or en-
couraging a right-wing revolt
inside Conservative ranks.
Apart from voting figures,
there is another good reason to
believe that "a return to tradi-
tional Toryism" is hardly in the
cards at this point. Unless all
signs have been misinterpreted,
such a return would be the
quickest and surest way for the
Conservatives to cut their own
throats. .-....
The more they analyze the re-
turns, the more convinced most
observers here are that the
Tories won the election for two
simple reasons. First, there was
their record in Office: steady
progress made toward economic
recovery. diminishing fear of war
and-perhaps most of all-con-
tinuation of virtually every bit
of social legislation produced by
Labor government. The second
key to victory was largely mega
tive: the decreptitude and gen.
eral WEAKNESS of the Socialists
and disorganization within Labor
Party ranks that resulted from
Mr.. Bevan's abortive revolt a
few months back.

II traditional Toryism'
Not Likely in Britain
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
CorreSpondent Of The Star


LONDON, May 28.-Through-
out the British elections, one
persistent dire prediction in
truded itself into the otherwise
staid proceedings.
Inspired UNDERSTANDABLE hS
supporters of the Labor cause,
the prediction was this: If the
Tories win, look out for reaction
aries. Any major swing toward
the Conservatives, it was said,
would bring out the worst in
every crusty old Tory on the
governments backbench. The
prudent liberalism of Prime Min
lister Eden and other party lead
ers would not be able to check
the swing. The country could
look forward to a rash of reac-
tionary legislation. including tax
laws favoring money interests"
and labor laws that would make
the Taft-Hartley law seem like
child's play.
Inevitably this also would pro-
duce a contrary reaction in the
Labor PartyIThee Socialists, In
spite of themselves, would be
forced further to the left. Glenn
ent Attlee might well lose his
place as leader to f1re-breathing
America batting Aneurin Bevan.
Marxism, soft-peddled through
out the election, would rear it's
ugly head once more.
Middle of the Road
In short, it was predicted that
the present election might put
an end to the present state of
British politics, which Is nothing
less than a battle for tie middle
of the road between eonserva-
tive Socialists and social-minded
Conservatives. If that happened,
British politics might become
lively enough to satisfy the most
jaded outsider.
But more would be sacrificed
in the way of good government
than would be gained in enter
tainment value.
Happily there is little in the
outcome Of the election that
seems to justify these forebod-
ings. The talk. to be sure, hasn't t
dwindled away entirely. Some
disconsolate Laborites still speak
OF a return to traditional Tory
ISM" but the speed and force
with which this is being denied
suggests that nobody is more

Union OKs Ford Strike
After Next Wednesday

DETROIT. May % P.-The
CIO United Auto Workers Union
today officially sanctioned a
strike of 100000 Ford Motor Co.
employees any time after next
Wednesday midnight.
/ The action was taken in the
face of a suggestion by Henry
Ford II. company president. that
the union reconsider its fiat re-
/ lection of Ford's stock purchase
package" offer of Thursday.
UAW President Walter Reuther
said:
LAS of the present time, it will
require considerable change in
the company's attitude to avert
a strike"
/ Mr.. Reuther charged there was
obvious collusion" between Ford
and General Motors in standing
firm to date against the union
demand for guaranteed annual
wage.
Sanctioned by Board
The unions strike sanction
came from the UAW Interna-
tional Executive Board, made
up of Mr.. Reuther and other
top officers and regional direc-
tors. The board unanimously
approved a request for strike
authority from the unions Ma
tional Ford Council-140 union
representatives from Ford plants
around the country.
The council unanimously re-
jected the Ford offer, previously
turned down by the JAWS Ford
Negotiating Committee soon
after it was placed on the bar
gaining table. General Motors
gave the union a similar offer
a week ago and that, too. ap-
parently has been rejected.
Mr.. Reuther said the council
members went over the Ford
offer section by section" before
acting. Mr.. Ford had suggested a
more thorough review by union
leaders and members of the COM
pany proposal.
The Ford council asked for
strike authorization as of June
2. This was interpreted by some
as setting back the deadline by
at least "a hours because the
expiration date of the UAW Ford
contract is June /.
Wants No Complications
However, Mr.. Reuther said the
June date was chosen so there
would be mo possible complica-
tions" as to just what hour a
strike would be legal. He still re-
fused to name any specific strike
deadline hour and said the union
would do everything possible"
to avert a walkout.

As British Rail
Strike Starts

LONDON. Sunday, May 90 (P)
"A nation-wid railway strike
started at midnight Saturday
Early today it had thrown Brit
ain into confusion at the outset
of Prime Minister Eden's new
administration.
Sir Anthony himself made i'm
mediate plans to speak to the
nation on the crisis from his
country home at noon as 10000
rail engineers and firemen
walked of their jobs on the ma
tionalized lines.
The workmen demanded more
money to boost their differential
over less skilled railroaders.

strike affected 1876 ships.
Thousands of Britons holiday
ing at the seaside face the pros
pect of being stranded unless a
settlement is reached before the
Whitsun holiday week end ends
Monday night.
Sir Anthony and his cabinet
advisers passed up their own
holiday to remain in London for
strike peace talks.
The final collapse of efforts to
avert the strike came Just 20
minutes befort midnight. At that
time Mr.. Eden's chief negotiator,
Sir Wilfred Neden, announced
the talks had broken down.
Prosperity Threatened
The combined rail and port
strikes threatened to cut into
Britain's booming prosperity, an
important factor in sweeping the
conservative party into a solid
position of power it had not had
before Thursdays national elec-
tionS.
The walkout was ordered by
the Associated Society of Loco
motive Engineers and Firemen
(ASLEFO.
-Four and a half hours before
the trains stopped Sir Anthony
summoned the ASLEF leaders
and representatives of the rival
National Union of Railwaymen

ters to consider a peace formula.
