Defense Secretary Wilson has
followed up announcement OF
the new code of conduct by
telling the armed services today
that it was "vitally important
to start Immediately to train
personnel on how to avoid cap
ture and how to Withstand cap

He ordered that the code be

unit, ship and post throughout
the world.
But, as Gen. John E. Hull. vice
chairman of the committee
which drew it up, explained
earlier, the plan is not for mill
Itary men to learn the code "by

must be instilled in them. it was

Each service was directed by
Mr.. Wilson to draw up its own

Role of Government
In Achieving Goals

In the future as in the past,
increases in productivity and
in useful employment oppor-
tunities viii be the core Of
economic expansion.
The role Of the Federal Cow
ernment in the achievement Of
these goals is to create an
atmosphere favorable to eco
noniic activity by encouraging
private initiative, curbing mo-
nopolstic tendencies. avoiding
encroachment on the private
sector of the economy and car
rying out as much OF It's own
work as is practicable through
private enterprise. It should
take its full part at the side
Of State and local governments
in providing appropriate public
facilities. 1t should restrain
tendencies toward recession or
imitation. 1t should widen OPP
portunities for less fortunate
citizens, and help individuals
to cope with the hazards Of
unemployment. illness, old age
and blighted neighborhoods.
Last year the Government
took many steps. both legis-
lative and administrative, to
encourage economic expansion.
Fiscal and monetary measures
fostered an expectation OF inn
proving economic conditions
and encouraged people to
maintain q high rate of ex-
penditure. The opportunities
of competitive enterprise were
enlarged; economic ties with
other countries were improved:
the floor Of personal and FAM
lily security was strengthened
and additions were made to
our public assets.
THE ECONOMY TODAY.
The year 1854 was one Of
transition from contraction to
recovery. The contraction re-
flected the efforts of business
men to reduce inventories, and
was aggravated by a large re-
duction in military expendi-
lures.
The contraction was rela-
lively mild and brief, because
of a variety of timely public
and private actions.

Confidence in Future

The need of our times is for
economic policies that, in the
first place. recognize the prov
en- sources Of sustained eco
nomic growth and betterment,
and in the second place, re-
spect the need Of people for
a sense of security as well as
opportunity in our complex,
industralized society.
A free economy has great
capacity to generate jobs and
incomes If a feeling Of con-
fidence in the economic future
is widely shared by investors.
workers, businessmen, farmers
and consumers.
Many factors favor a conti-
nuation of our vigorous eco
nomic growth. The population
is increasing rapidly. educa-
tional levels are rising. work
skills are improving, incomes
are widely distributed, con-
sumers are eager to better
their living standards. busi-

nessmen kept capital expendi-
lures at q high rate. builders

trade unions conducted their
affairs with a sense Of respon-
sibility. farmers recognized the
dangers Of piling UP ever larger

ample supplies Of credit avail
able on liberal terms. States
and localities carried out large
construction programs and ex-
port demand remained strong.
Although h manufacturing
!. production fiuctuated. total
output was fairly stable. and
disposable personal income
reached record levels. But some
industries and localities suf-
fered from serious unemploy-
ment. The fortunes Of most
of them turned for the better
when recovery got under way
in the early autumn. and they
will benefit from further gen.
eral economic expansion.
Instead Of expanding Fed
eral enterprises or initiating
new spending programs. the
basic policy Of the Govern
ment in dealing with the con-
traction was to take actions
that created confidence in the
future and stimulated busi-
ness firms, consumers and
States and localities to In
crease their expenditures.
The vigor of the recent re-
covery, which has already
made up half of the preceding
decline in industrial produc-
ton, suggests that economic
expansion will probably con-
tinue during coming months.

we shall achieve a high and

tions for action by Congress and
the States to foster continued
economic growth. Most of these
reiterated recommendations
made previously, ranging from
increasing the national debt limit
to extending and revising the
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act.
One Of his suggestions to the
States was that they should
change their unemployment in
surance laws to make the great
majority of covered workers
eligible for payments that at
best equal half their regular
earnings.
He still set no figure In asking
for an increase in the national
debt limit, but said it should be
large enough to provide the
Treasury with the necessary
latitude to do its job"
Under present law, the statu-
tory debt limit is due to revert
to $275 billion June 80 when a
temporary increase to $28l bill

Among other recommends
tions the President urged:
/. Strengthening the Sherman

may be imposed under it. He set
no figure.

Nevin Denies Charge
OF Shaking Down
White House Guides

Pvt. William Nevin, accused OF
operating a shakedown racket
among White House sightseeing
guides, today denied police trial
board charges that he asked for
and received commissions from
the guides or forced them to buy
jewelry.
Pvt. Nevin. the last witness
scheduled to testify, said he had,
at various times, referred busi-
ness to all of the guides when
tourists requested sightseeing
information but added he had
never solicited business or re-
ceived money for his services.
Earlier in the hearing, eight
White House guides testified the
39-year-old policeman had de-
manded money for directing
business to them, forced them to
buy jewelry from him and had
threatened one Of them.
Nevin Testifies.
MANY times tourists asked me
questions about the White House
which / could not answer" Pvt.
Nevin testified. II would refer
them to the guide that happened
to be closest to me at that time. I"
Pvt. Nevin said he had had
differences with guides around
the White House many times.
Some of them, he said, stemmed
from his efforts to keep traffic
moving around the Executive
Mansion while he was assigned
a traffic post at Pennsylvania
and East Executive avenues NV.
He denied under questioning
that he had received money for
any favors shown or work re-
ferred to guides, that he ever
asked for. money, that he ever
Indicated anything to suggest he
wanted anything for his services,
and admitted he occasionally
had accepted cigars from guides
'but not to lessen my enforce
ment."
Says He Is Not Influenced.
Pvt. Nevin emphasized several
times that 81 don't let friendship
or religion interfere with my
job"
Yesterday, other White House
guides testified on the. officers
behalf that Pvt. Nevin had tried
to eliminate unfair business
methods used by some of the
veteran guides. They pictured
him as an honest, Woodworking
officer. The trial board will
weigh the controversial testi-
mony after final arguments
which are expected to wind up
today.

81 am convinced that on bal

rather than weaken, the Judi

bers of Congress and the country
to the importance of the Judi
ciary Branch Of Government.
Beginning with Lafayette.
Congress has heard scores Of

Conference of the United States.
which is made up Of the Chief
Justice and OF the Chief Judges
of the Courts of Appeals. Is now
required by law to report an

The difiicRlty with the pres

the report Of the Judicial Con-
