The Associated Press quoted Mr..
Flanders as saying:
81 would expect Senator
Knowland to resign If the Presi-
dent sends specific proposals to
the Senate which Knowland feels
he cannot support. I do not
think that situation has arisen.
Technically. I do not think he
Is under obligation to resign un-
less the President asks him to
take a position he cannot take"
Doesn't Speak for Party
On the Formosa question, Mr..
Flanders said, Senator Knowi.
and does not speak for Repub-
licans."
Senator Knowland is our
floor leader, with emphasis On
legislation on the floor and he
has done excellent work. The
Republican Party would have a
difficult job finding q man so
skilled as Senator Knowland in
steering legislation through the
Senate.
But it is very unfortunate
that he expresses himself so
strongly about Formosa, a mat
ter entirely within the Presi-
dents jurisdiction at the present
time"
Senator Knowland said yester-
day he, as Republican Senate
leader, and the President had
had their usual meetings last
week including breakfast, and
would have them this week. He
said he could not be responsible
for newspaper speculation" he
would resign the leadership.
1.-THE reports assume something
I have. never said" he declared.
"If the time ever came when I
felt I should resign, I'd make
my own statement
Referring to Mr.. Eisennower's
statement at his press con-
ference last week, Senator
Knowland said: There may be
some formula by which we could
sit down with the Chinese Com
munists and enter into discus
sions not affecting the interests
of the Nationalist government
of China. If so, I don't know
what it is"
Suspects Reds Aims
The Californian said it would
not be enough just to assure
Chang Kai-shek that the in
terests Of Nationalist China
would be looked after--in a con-
ference between the United
States and Red China. without
Chang having representative
at the conference.

The measure was to have been
taken up this week under a

allowed seven hours of general

members.
Because of debate scheduled
for Tuesday and Wednesday on
the farm price supports bill and
for Thursday on the National

decided to put of the State
hood question until early next
week.
During the week of May 8 the
House also expects to consider
the armed services appropriation
bill for the fiscal year beginning
July /. The administration has
asked about $34 billion. It may
get an important sign of con-
gressional feeling about that
budget when the House Appro-
priations Committee reports out
the bill, perhaps late this week.
