He said. however, that he dis
agreed with Mr.. Martin on
adoption of formal standardized
methods of classifying, pricing
and depreciating structures.
Mr.. Reeves declared the SIM
pie methods used by his staff
may have served satisfactorily
in their past operations. when
only few men of unusual COM
petence managed to effect good
coordination by intensive in
terest, diligence and co-opera-
ton, without specific standards
of practice" He insisted that
that relatively high standard
of performance cannot be ex-
pected to continue with changes
in personnel, and certainly will
not be attained by the much
larger staff already employed
and more authorized. Nor could
it be maintained under the ap-
parent great demand for accel-
Grating the program to establish
uniformity at an early date"
He disagreed with a sugges-
ton by the General Accounting
Office that overall reappraisal
might be accomplished by hav-
ing property owners report on
their own holdings. Under
Utopian conditions that
would be a useful expedient.
Viewed realistically, however, it
would increase the number and
degree of inequities and would
be provocative of contention and
litigation"

Dulles Views
New Spirit as
Big -Four Goal
BY MARY McGRORY

Secretary OF State Dulles
highest hope for the forthcom-
ing conference at the summit is
that it will find a new path and
a new approach to solving world
| tension
Testifying in behalf Of a $3.5
billion mutual security act fund
request before the House For
eign Affairs Committee, Mr..
Dulles said he saw no prospects
coming out of the conference
that would justify any cut in
the program.
THE best that can be expect
ed" he said, will be to find a
new path and a new approach
to settle some of these problems,
which would be referred to other
bodies"
He mentioned the Council of
Foreign Ministers, NATO, or pos
sibly an lad hoe" committee as
groups which might further con-
slider the question.
New Spirit Chief Goal
He said that the "so-called
Big Four conference at the So
called summit was not primar-
lily for the purpose of settling
anything but for finding a new
spirit.
1.-The real test will not come
at the Big Four conference" Mr..
Dulles said, 1T will not come
until much later. Our prospects
there are fed more by hope than
by confidence"
Under questioning by commit
tee members VINO accorded him
all sorts of compliments and
congratulations on the signing OF
the Austrian Treaty, Mfr. Dulles
said he was not aware that the
Communists had undergone any
real change of heart, and said
he hasn't come yet to any final
determination "of the full sig
nif1cance of what is going on"

Nearly 900 veterans and serv-

Mr.. Wilson limited that a plan
was afoot to revive the bill,
which was postponed indefinitely
after an anti-segregation
amendment was attached. He
said he had some substance"
for his hopes that the measure
eventually will be adopted.
Asked If the substance" was
connected with a conference on
the subject between President
Eisenhower and Mr.. Martin of
Massachusetts,, the Secretary
said, That's part of it,"
THE fact that they discussed
the subject is encouraging" he
added.
However, Mr.. Wilson said he
did not think that failure to
pass the bill to expand the mill
tary reserves would mean that
there would have to be any
change in the size of the regular
forces. He pointed out that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff had made
their basic recommendations on
those regular force levels before
the reserve bill was drawn up.

Mr.. Dulles answered questions
from the committee in an at

publican, of Ohio, had read into
the record a Saturday Evening

of State and Representative

him safely back home.
Mr.. Dulles also told the COM
mittee that he saw no likelihood
at any practicable time of Yugo-
slavia, which is included in the
aid program, of going Soviet. He
said he thought that Yugoslavia's
independence, largely due to our
support, and its current wooing
by Soviet leaders might put ideas
in the heads of other leaders of
nations under Soviet influence.
Chairman Richards said earlier
today the committee will attempt
to clarity the current controversy
over the relative air power of the
Soviet Union and the United
States. He said he believes this
is a factor in determining the
kind of military aid to be fur

Mr.. Richards also questioned
