Only BY Washington

Delawareans paid the second
highest per capita total of state
taxes in the nation in the past fis-
cal year, the Census Bureau re-
ported this week.
If every person in Delaware had

The only state to top Delaware

But, even though Delaware was
high in the per capita brackets. its
total tax take dropped more than

agrees to any meeting.
Mr.. Chou has said the Com
munists would not sit down with
representatives of the Chinese
Nationalists and would not give
up their claims to Formosa. He
repeated his demand for a Red
Chinese seat in the United Ma
tionS.
Despite this, Senator George
said he believes there might be
profit in talking with the Chinese
Reds. He said In any such talks
the United States would be mind
full of the interests of the Chi
nese Nationalists.
However" he said, I'VE should
wait until after the Big Four
summit conference to see what it
produces before we try to nego-
tiate with Chou"
Soviet Attitude
Senator George said discussion
of world problems at the top
level might shed more light on
Russia's attitude toward a Far
Eastern settlement. President
Eisenhower and the Prime Min
listers of Britain, France and
Russia are expected to get to-
gether on neutral ground some
time this summer.
Senator Smith said he wasn't
ruling out discussions with Chou
about a possible cease-fire. But
he said Chang Kai-shek ought
to be represented at any con-
ference that affects the Nation
alistS' interests beyond the at
tainment of an agreement to
stop the shooting in the FormoSa
Strait.
Senator Mansfield said that
as he views the situation, Mr..
Chou's statements leave the next
move up to Mr.. Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles. He said he
feels any diplomatic negotiations
with the Peiping regime would
give IAN added degree Of rec
ognition to Communist China"

Comments on Red Move
On other questions in the in

said:
/. Plans Of Soviet leaders to
visit Yugoslavia soon obviously
means they hope for q raproach-
ment of some kind with that
country. The Russians seem to
be developing a theory that q
series Of neutral states might be
built up across Europe from
north to south.
2. Austria's neutrality does not
mean that Austria will be an
unarmed blank spot in Europe.
She will be armed to defend her
own independence.
8. international trade must be
used as q diplomatic weapon to
gain Government ends. This
means that possible trade with
the Soviet bloc must be studied
effectively rather than EN-
bargoed as q matter Of course.
4. American participation In q

be held in Switzerland in August
concerning peaceful uses Of

laugh of. There must be come

President Eisenhower today
discounted fears that the United
States has lost control of the
air to Russia.
He told a news conference
that control Of the air is q rela-
tive thing. But it Is just not
true to say that this country
has lost in a twinkling all its
technical excellence as well as
numbers of long-range planes,
he asserted.
His remarks arose from ques-
tions about an assertion yester-
day by Senator Symington,
Democrat, of Missouri, that the
free world may have lost con-
troll of the air" in view Of a
recent disclosure that Russia
has inter-continental bombers
in operation.
Senate Probe Planned
Senator Symington's state
led to plans by the Senate Armed
Services Committee for an in
vestigation into the strength Of
American air power in the light
of Soviet advances in this field.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia said he will ask an
armed services watchdog to in
vestigate the situation.
Mr.. Eisenhower disclosed that
he had approved the recent De-
Tense Department statement
about long-range jet bombers
having been seen in flight.
He remarked that from time
to time evidences comes in Of
Soviet advances in several lines
of scientific endeavor, including
air power development, that ex-
ceed what this Government had
expected.
Readiness Unknown
While it is known that the
Soviets recently flew planes that
appeared capable of long-dis-
tance flights with heavy loads,
the President said no one knows
about the condition inside the
planes or their technical readi-
ness.
He traced American strategic
air power development, remark
ing that we may not have as
many B-52 jet bombers as he
would like to have. He added
