Pinay Unenthusiastic
On Saar Agreement,
But Favors Approval
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Mar. IL. - Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay told the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the
French upper house yesterday
he is not enthusiastic about the
French-German agreement on
the Saar. but believes it should
be ratified anyway.
Mr.. Pinay said that the agree
ment for EuropeaniZation of the
border state at least represents
some accomplishment. 1t will
be up to France to make certain
that the guarantees written into
the accord are lived up to, he
said.
He again deplored the inclu-
sion of a clause calling for a
second referendum in the Saar
before the German peace treaty
is written. Mr.. Pinay also said
he intends to insist that the
neutral high commissioner for
the Europeanized Saar have no
more powers than the former
French high commissioner.
In his opinion. he said, the
United States and British guar
antees to back up France on the
Saar still are valid and are un-
changed by any statement to the
contrary made by German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer. He de-
clared it would be inopportune
to ask for any new assurances
now,' saying this would be taken
as a sign of uncertainty or Of
weakness and could not result
in increasing the real value Of
any such promises. ~.
The committee decides on its
recommendation next Wednes-
day.
Debate on the Saar and other
Paris accords for West German
rearmament is scheduled to
start March % in the upper
house, the Council Of the Repub-
lie. The vote supposedly will fol-
low a few days later. The ac-
cords already have been ap-
proved by the lower house, the
National Assembly.

LONDON. Mar. IL. - The
Soviet Union promoted 10 Rus
sian generals to the rank Of
marshal yesterday in a move in
terpreted by Soviet affairs ex-
pert as another step in the as
tendency Of the armed forces
over the secret police.
In addition. Marshal of Avia-
ton Pavel Fedorovich Zhigarev
was raised to the rank OF Chief
Marshal of the Air Force. He
became an alternate member Of
the Central Committee of the
Communist Party in October
1852.
The promotions. announced by
Moscow radio, were made under
a decree of the Presidium of the
Supreme Soviet (parliament) .
the interim body which acts
when the Soviet is not in session.
The following six army gener-
ais were promoted:
VASTLY Ivanovich Chuikov,
hero of Stalingrad, and COM
mander in chief of Soviet occu-
patton troops in Germany until
he was relieved in June 1858. He
was then appointed to work in
the ministry of defense and later
commanded the Kiev military
area.
Ivan Khristoforovich Bagram-
ian, an Armenian who COM
manded the first Baltic front
during the war. He holds the
Order of Lenin, the Gold Star
Medal and is a Hero of the
Soviet Union. Riga Radio re-
ported in January, 1854, that he
was commander of armed forces
in the Baltic region.
Sergei Semenovich Biryuzov
commanding general Of Soviet
forces in Austria. He was
awarded the Order of Lenin in
August, 1854.
Ukraine Commander.
Andrei Antonovich Grechko

Ukrainian front during the war

chief of the Soviet occupation
troops in Germany in June, 1858
succeeding Gen. Chuikov. He
briefly commanded the Kiey
military area after the war.
Andrei Ivanovich Yeremenko

scattered throughout the capi-
tai cities of the world.
Yet the job all this lavish
expenditure of money and ef-
fort is supposed to be doing
Just isn't being done.
American publicists and
journalists travelling abroad in
private capacities are aghast
at the ineffectiveness of this
elaborate and costly propa-
ganda setup. They have many
explanations for the singular
lack of success of the American
propaganda effort, but find
agreement in the blunt criti-
cism that the program def
nitely is not reaching the
people it is supposed to reach.
The R u S S / a n S, despite
much talk to the contrary,
actually spend little money on
an organized effort as such.
Their propaganda drive is
based on the activities of the
local and national Communist
Party organizations. and it is
effective. Their direct ap-
proach method aims at the
poorest and most discontented
segmentS of the population,
the restless elements, the mi
norities, the disaffected for
any reason.
The USIA approach, OBJ
servers agree, is almost totally
oblivious of these same groups.
USIA handouts, press releases
go to newspapers almost uni
versally representing dominant
political and economic inter-
ests and are read by people
who don't need to be con-
vinced, for the most part. Mil
lions of expensive words in
newspapers, magazines, post
ers, film talks and host of
other media are daily spread
before the eyes of people who
can't read. Fancy silk-paper
productions go to the novels of
families in direst poverty, and
the half-starved recipients are
treated to graphic pictures of
the ease and prosperity of life
in the United States.

The statement said this stand
differed from former Soviet posi-
tions which demanded the right
to maintain troops in Austria
until after a peace treaty was
| signed with Germany.

Mr.. Molotov conferred with
Mr.. Bischoff February 25 and
March 2, the statement said, and
on the latter date told him the
Soviet government felt that a
Big Four conference on Austria
should be convened before rati-
fication of the Paris agreements
It said Austria should take part
in the conference.

Mr.. Molotov told Mr.. Bischofi
the Soviet government did not
subordinate the question of an
Austrian independence treaty to

Fast-moving developments
in Asia have brought to
United States policy makers
more headaches than those to
be found in the headlines.
And among the more annoy
ing, not to say dismaying,
worries has been the growing
awareneSs in Washington that
Uncle Sam is hardly the most
popular character in the world.
Our top officials are rap
idly being forced to the con-
cluSion that much of the world
just doesn't like us; those pop
ulations not openly hostile to
America and Americans are
just coldly Indifferent. And
a. new curiosity is beginning to
be manifest these days as to
the reason for this unpromising
state of affairs.
Since World War II, the
United States has spent many
millions of dollars on "informa-
ton services" abroad. The
agency now known as the
United States Information
Agency, together with the
radio Voice of America, has,
under various names and di-
rectors. poured out increas-
ingly huge amounts of words,
pictures, features, movies,
news" columns and press re-
leases designed to make Amer
lea look its best to the peoples
ofothe free world as well as to
counter the Soviet propaganda
barrage everywhere.
AS the volume of words
and handouts increased the
cost of the mammoth enter
prise scared. Thousands of
experts" have been hired at
fat salaries to carry Americas
message to the foreigner.
Thousands more staff the
overf1owing Offices of the USIA
in the United States. Fat ap-
preparations are applied to the

It was coincidence that the
Democratic Digest appeared on
the stands with the cover of
its new number a picture of
Secretary of Treasury George
M. Humphrey labeled "Secre-
tary of Everything" at the
time that the same Secretary
Humphrey was exchanging
blows with Democrats in Con-
gress over their bills to grant
tax relief to persons of small
income.
For this issue of the Demo-
cratic National Committees
poeket-size magazine had been
planned before Speaker of the
House Rayburn sprang his 20
bucks-a-head tax cut scheme
and before Mr.. Humphrey had
accepted the gage of battle
with his countercharge of
fiscal irresponsibility."
But 1t all added up to this:
Democrats have singled out
the Treasury Secretary as
their number one target in
the Eisenhower administration.
This is for the very practical
political reason that, being
big-businesS man himself and
being active in SO many areas
of this administration that he
deserves the Secretary Of
Everything" title, he lends
himself to the big-business
background that Democrats
are trying to paint in for this
administration.
AS for the Secretary, he has
accepted the role of chief
administration gladiator and
seems to enjoy it.
From experience with him
in the tax battle, during which
he has appeared before both
House and Senate tax COM
mittees. Democrats have dis
covered something in his per-
sonality which they hope to
exploit to their advantage.
This is the Secretary's some
what elevated, school teacher,
doctrinaire attitude toward
members of Congress which is
coupled with a twin propensity
to belittle the ideas of others
as SILLY" foolish" "irrespon-
sible." political" and such,
as he did in appearing before
the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate
Finance Committee.
Anybody who knows Con-
gress we'll knows that its men,
bers don't appreciate lecturers,
nor do they like to be looked
down-the-nose-at. This was
illustrated by the gleeful way
an aide of Senate Democratic
Leader Lyndon Johnson was
dashing about the Senate
showing an account Of Secre-
tary Humphreys latest SILLY
political irresponsible" out
burst. This he had sputtered
angrily when, during his ap-
pearance before the House
Ways and Means Committee
to testify about an error in
last years revision of the tax
laws, he had been asked about
a compromise on the Rayburn
$20-a-head tax cut that had
been worked out by Senator
johnson and other Senate
Democratic leaders. Demo-
cratic needlers on the House
committee had angled for just
that reaction.
THAT blow-up by the Sec
retary ought to stiffen Dem
ocratic ranks in the Senate
and make some votes for the
compromise" was the COM
ment among Senate Demo-
cratic promoters of the john
son proposal. The latter,
along with providing modified
tax cuts for small taxpayers,
would repeal two provisions in
last years law sponsored by
the Eisenhower administra-
ton to help wealthy stock
owners and business. Thus
Democrats would make UP rev.
enue lost by tax cuts on small
incomes. 1t Is these provi-
