Senator Bridges. Republican,
of New Hampshire said today
he has taken steps to aid Re-
publican speakers wanting to use
the Yalta papers to lambast their
political foes.
Senator Bridges said he has
instructed the staff of the Sen
ate Republican Policy Commit
tee, which he heads. to compile
information from the documents
for use by G. o. P. speakers.
Certainly the Republicans are
at liberty to discuss the mis-
takes that we're made at Yalta,"
he said. 1--WE learned about the
tragic results only gradually in
the months and years after
Yalta.
"By studying the mistakes of
the past and trying to avoid
them in the future we can help
our country"
1t was at the World War II
conference at Yalta that Frank
lin D. Roosevelt agreed to Far
Eastern concessions to Russia
in exchange for the Soviet'S
speedy entry into the war against
Japan.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
of Alabama said it is all right
with him if the Republicans want
to comb the Yalta papers for
political material.
Il am sure they won't find
there any of the dynamite they
so confidently hope to explode. ii
he said. In the past they could
make all kinds of charges about
Yalta. But I thinA they are 60
ing to be limited now, because
they will have to cite chapter
and verse now that the docu-
ments have been made public"
Senator Hayden, Democrat. OF
Arizona said he thinks the Re-
publicans were "hypnotizing'
themselves about the possibility
of political gain.

Senator Knowland of Cali
fornia, the Republican leader
has called for publication of the
records of the 1943 Teheran and
the 1945 Potsdam conferences
The latter was attended by for
mer President Truman.
Government officials said pri-
vately the Juror kicked up by
last weeks publication of the
Yalta papers compels Secretary
of State Dulles to take a new
look at the program for pub
fishing other secret documents
related to other Big Three meet
ings.
Mr.. Dulles and his aides had
anticipated a political uproar in
the United States. Some in
formed officials say. however
they had not expected as much
of a kickback as they got from
abroad.
A few months after the Re-
publican administration came
into power in January, 1858, Con-
gress appropriated funds fol
publication of secret wartime
conferences. Compilation and
editing Of the papers is well adj
vanced but not completed.
Associates said Mr.. Dulles may
now find it impossible to finish
the publication with whatever
funds remain. Since congress
sional leadership has changed
hands, he would not expect tc
be able to get additional funds
from the present Congress.
Or he may decide, apart from
the question of funds. that the
effect of the releases on United
States international relations Ii
! an overriding consideration.

Internal Security Unit:
Plans New Probes Of
Reds in Government
Roosevelt and Knox Hit
For Allowing Communist
Rodiomen on Ships

New investigations have been
pledged by the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee to ex-
pose any Communists who pene-
trated the Government.
ut cannot be said in any
sense that we have learned the
names of all the secret Commu-
nists who infiltrated the Govern
ment SERVICE" the subcommittee
said last night. TT cannot even
be said that we have learned all
about those whose names we
have brought to light"
Calling the exposure Of these
individuals and their works" one
of it's continuing projects, the

page report on the investigations
conducted in the last Congress

Principal Findings
The unanimous report turned
in by the subcommittee included
these principal findings:
/. That President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Frank Knox, his
Secretary of the Navy, weakened
the Nays security program in
World War II by permitting
Communist radio operators on
merchant ships. The subcommit-
tee heard testimony in 1853 that

Investor Confidence
Low, FoirIess Says
BY the Associated Press

Benjamin Fairless of United
States Steel said today the steel
industry hasn't done right in
the past by its owners-Ameri-
can investors.
His own company has been
trying "by every proper means"
to build investor confidence,
United States Steels board
chairman said in testimony pre-
pared for the Senate Banking
Committees soon-to-end stock
market hearings.
The inquiry churned up a new
political row over the week end.

Cites Below-Average Profits
Mr.. Fairless told the commit
tee that year after year" steel
profits have been below the
average of leading manufac-
turers.
Il am not going to cry on any
ones shoulder about it," he said.
II am merely going to point out
that in view of the heavy CAPT.
tai needs which we face in the
future, the rehabilitation of in
weston confidence in steel issues
has become a problem of imme-
date and major Importance"
Mr.. Fairless, one of the Ma
tion's highest paid industrialists,
said the steel industry's prob
lem in getting new funds for
expansion is due Gin no small
degree" to existing tax laws with
"unwise and discriminatory
double taxation of corporate in

But it is also partly due. be-

fact that our industry has not,
in the past, provided a fair and
dependable return to it's inves-

Stressing his view that in
vestors' confidence must be in
creased, Mr.. Fairless said:
ITO this end we have steadily
expanded our incentive program
at every level of our operations
and thus, with the marked
upturn that has occurred in our
business since then, we were able
early this year to improve our
dividend accordingly"
Mr.. Fairless said U. S. Steel's
planned stock split-two shares
of common stock for every share
now outstanding-is intended "to
encourage a wider distribution OF
these shares, and to make them
more readily available for invest
ment purposes"

House Group Cuts SIS Million From
Funds for interior. Poee AS
sion in the District, nearby
Maryland and Virginia to ex-
pand the parks system was voted
by the committee. but the budget
request of 100000 for this pur-
pose was cut to 100000.
The committee eliminated two
projects requested for the Dis
trict area and told the Planning
Commission that to carry out
other projects, it would have to
use $146,500 of so-called un-
obligated balances in leftover
funds.
Two Projects Eliminated
The projects eliminated were
the proposed purchase of Pail
sades Parks Flats near the
GEO Canal and a park in the
Southwest for which $197, $50
had been proposed, but rejected
by the committee.
1.-THE acquisition of lands in
this area for public use must
necessarily be tied into the over
all program for redevelopment
for the Southwest area" the
committee told the House in its
report. 1T would be premature
to acquire such land until the
total projects had been agreed
upon.
The other land acquisition
projects asked for in the budget
could be carried forward by the
Planning Commission under the
Capper- Cramton Law, the COM
mittee said, by using whatever
funds are available.
Parkway Project Cleared
Among the projects author
lied were extension of the
George Washington Memorial
Parkway on both sides of the
Potomac River, extending the
park system into Maryland. and
purchase of land to connect the
new Washington Baltimore
Parkway and the proposed Ana
costa Parkway.
An item of $228,O0o could be
used to buy land for the Me-
mortal Parkway on the Virginia
side of the Potomac upstream as
far as the Bureau of Public

parkway land extension on the
Maryland side all the way to

House vote today with President
Eisenhower cautioning against
any higher figure.
In advance of House action.
the President said he would view
with "gravest apprehension" any

by the postal pay bill.
He noted that the postal in

for treatment of the 100000
Civil Service employees. This bill
still is in committee.
The Presidents views, con-
tanned in a letter Saturday to
Chairman Murray of the House
Post Office Committee, clearly
implied a probable veto of any
bigger increase.

ing Government-wide employee

Dissident Sects Give Premier Diem

While Tao, with handlebar
mustache turned upward for a
French touch. and other dis
sidents sat grim-faced, transla-

against the alleged failure of the
Diem regime.
Threat Made on Saigon.
Yesterday the religious leader
"Bacut" predicted that his forces
would seal off the capital OF
Saigon and defied government
troops to come and get him, the
Associated Press reported.
The 31-year-old, one-armed
Hoa Hao general asserted cab
met minister Gen. Tran Van
Soal had named him to lead the
combined forces of religious
sects against Premier Diem.
Bacut's name is LIE Quang
V,nh, but he is better known by
his nickname. which means one
armed in Vietnamese. He
sneered at reports the govern
ment had ordered nine battal-
ions and one airborne brigade
to hunt him down.
Commands 1000 Troops.
Bacut said he now commands
some 1000 tough troops of the
Hoa Hao sect. He boosted he
would throw them across the
main routes leading into Saigon
cutting all supplies from that
city of 2 million.
Bacut said the Hoa Hao, Bin
Xuyen and Gao Dali sects had
! agreed on an about fight
against Premier Diem on grounds
he was inept and playing into
Communist hands.
The sects' main grievance
against Mr.. Diem is that he has
refused to take care Of their
private armies, whose revenue
was cut of by the French in
February.
