Briefing on FOREIGN Aid

A bipartisan group of con-
gressional leaders heard admin
istration arguments for carrying
on a foreign aid program at a
White House conference today
Chairman George of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee
said afterWard he believes the
foreign aid program will be ap-
proved by Congress but that he
can't predict just what form il
will be in.
President Eisenhower has SUBJ
mitted to Congress a 1888 billion
program for the fiscal year start
ing July /, stressing action to
counter threats of Communist
aggression and subversion in
Asia.
The President, Secretary OF
State Dulles and Harold E. Stas-
sen, Foreign Operations Admin
istration director, discussed the
need for the program with the
group of key Democratic and
Republican Senate and House
leaders.
Mr.. Dulles also briefed the
conferees on the world situation,
especially in the Far East.
House Speaker Rayburn and
House Minority leader Martin
agreed there was nothing new"
in this, but disclosed no details.

0nChou Talks
For rCease-Fire

Senator II Alexander Smith,
Republican, of New Jersey, said
today Secretary of State Dulles
has indicated he doubts Red
China's Premier Chou En-lai will
follow through on his offer to
discuss Far Eastern tensions.
Speculation that the United
States and Communist China
might be able to get together
on some kind of cease-fire in the
Formosa Strait increased sharply
10 days ago when Mr.. Chou ex-
pressed willingness to- undertake
direct talks and said China did
not want war with this country
"I doubt that anything comes
of Chou's offer to talk" Senator
Smith said in an interview. "The
impression I get from Secretary
Dulles is that he doubts it. too
But the Secretary matched the
offer for direct conversations
with Chou so that the Commu-
nists couldn't say we were un-
willing to discuss a settlement.
Radford to Report
Admiral Arthur w. Radford,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, and Assistant Secretary of
State Walter S. Robertson report
to President Eisenhower late to-
day on their talks in Formosa
with Chinese Nationalist Leader
Chang Kai-Shek.
Senator Smith said he doubts
Gen. Chang would agree to at
tend any conference with the
Chinese Communists on the
,cease-fire issue, even if invited.
Mr.. Eisenhower has said it
would be perfectly legitimate"
to talk to Red China's represent
atives about a cease-fire even
though the Nationalists were
absent.
Senator Smith said, however,
he feels it would be next to i'm
possible to discuss the Formosa
situation in any way without af-
fecting the Nationalists' inter-
ests.
Charges Confusion.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota told the Senate yes
terday Gen. Chang has "'been
led up the hill and he has been
led down the hill" by American
diplomats.
He noted that the State De-
partment first had said this coun-
try would take no part in con-
versations with the Chinese
Communists on the Rormosa sit
uation unless Chang was rep
resented. Then. he said, it was
made clear "the next day that
it wasn't important" if the Ma
tionalists were present.
This is not only confusing the
enemy but it is confusing our
friends" Senator Humphrey de-
clared.

Democrat Blasts Benson
On Price-Prop Policies

reaucrat in the Department of
Agriculture has turned against
the tillers of the soil. Secretary
Benson himself has denounced
and ridiculed the farm program
throughout the length and
breadth of the Nation. A delib-
crate, willful, wicked and wan
ton effort has been made to
cause the consumers of America
to revolt and turn against the
farmers"
A main problem confronting
House Democratic leaders is to
get about Is Republican votes
and also recapture some of the
votes cast last year by some
Democrats in favor of the flexible
system. They voiced confidence
they will show such gains despite
the admitted probable loss of ap-
proximately 20 of their COL
leagues.
G. o. p. Problem
They also look for additional
backing because of a stand taken
recently by various top labor
leaders against the Eisenhower
administrations farm program.
An immediate problem of Re-
publicans defending the admin
istration's flexible supports pro-
gram, enacted last year but not
yet in actual operation, is to
prevent defections from their
own ranks. In the House a year
ago 10 Republicans voted for the
rigid supports policy.
The bill in the House would
restore the 80 per cent of parity
supports, automatically continue
the 80 per cent of parity support
on tobacco, and place the mini
mum level for support of dairy
products at 80 per cent of parity
instead of rs per cent, as under
present law. The bill has a non-
controversial section to authorize
an additional $25 million a year
for the school milk program.
Evening star., 1955-05-03

Congress will weigh before fixina
the amount of new authorize
ton.
Senator George said there is
a carryover of So to 50 billion
and added that "a good many
Senators will want to insist that
that be drawn out ahead of new
appropriations"
But the Georgia Senator said
ne will not form any conclu-
slons until he goes into the de-
tails carefully at Senate hear
lngs starting tomorrow. Secre-
tary of Dulles will be the first
witness.
Senator George also pointed
out that good part of the
carryover already is committed
for military aid which requires
long-range planning.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon Johnson said that un-
der administration plans the
largest slice of military aid
S452 million-would go to Korea.

Nam, would get SALT million and

chance to elect candidates
friendly to labor.
Can the labor vote be deliv-
cred as a bloc for any one party
or candidate?
Labor leaders believe that with
intense political education, work.
ers will better understand how
to vote in their own interests
and in the interests of the labor
movement-thus becoming far
stronger political force.
In this way. they believe. labor
will be able to do a great deal
more at the ballot box than in
the past-notably the 1948 elec-
tion in Ohio, where labor opposi-
ton failed signally to defeat the
late Senator Robert A. Taft.
They see labor repeating in
future elections the CIO sue
cesses won in Michigan last fall.
In this election, Republicans
were swept out of State Offices
they had controlled for years
and a virtual political unknown,
Pat Mcnamara "a Democrat and
one-time AFL leader) ousted
Republican Homer Ferguson
from his United States Senate
seat.
CLIO Helped
The CIO claimed-and was
given-considerable credit in the
outcome of this election. And
now the Michigan election is
regarded by labor as the classic
example of what can happen in
other States.
! In counties and States where
the balance of power between
parties lies in a small percent
ages of votes, it doesn't require
a student of politics to see that
an effort such as the CIO staged
in Michigan might easily provide
the margin of victory for candi-
dates supported by labor.
| Where could organized labor
make its weight felt more
heavily by a vigorous campaign
in support of its candidates?
| The answer would seem to be
in those States where there is
the heaviest concentration of
union members. And these
states are New York, Pennsyl-
vania, California, Illinois, Ohio,
New Jersey, Michigan, Texas,
Missouri and Massachusetts,. But
many other States have impor-
tant numbers of labor votes. The
question is whether labor's lead
ers can hold them in line at the
polls.
In any event, labor is getting
ready for a political push. And
just how potent it will be may be
reflected in the 1856 elections.
Tomorrow: A Third Party?

A Democratic blast against

Gratis" in the Agriculture Depart
ment, and a Republican attack
on "a despicable political man
euver" by opponents of the Ad-
ministration's farm program,
touched off House debate today
on the price supports issue.
Even before debate started on
bill to restore the rigid 90
per cent of parity supports,
House Agriculture Committee
Chairman Cooley, Democrat of
North Carolina, opened fire on
Secretary of Agriculture Benson.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery he accused Mr.. Benson
of trying to divide farmers and
discredit the price support pro-
gram by sending out misleading
information.
Representative Arends of Illi-
nois, Republican whip in the
House. also Immediately released
his intended speech defending
the flexible price support policy
Attacks Bold Maneuver
"By this BILL" he said. Eve
are asked to discard. even with
out trial, a flexible price support
program we adopted last year
and return to the rigid high
price support program we have
had for some Is years-tl1e very
same program that has caused
agriculture to get into tremen-
dous difficulties.
"We are thus witnessing a bold
"a better word would probably
be despicable-political maneu-
yer. Opponents of the flexible
price support program which is
not yet in effect are trying to
make it appear that the flexible
program caused the decline in
farm prices. 1, for one. refuse to
play politics with the welfare of
my farmers"
Vote Likely Tomorrow
A House showdown on the bill
was expected late tomorrow.
Both sides predicted a final vote
would be close. Advocates of the
rigid price supports on five basic
crops, wheat, corn, cotton, rice
and peanuts, continue to voice
confidence that they have
enough strength to reverse the
1854 House vote which author
lied flexible supports.
Mr.. Cooley, in his scheduled
speech for the opening of gen.
eral debate, criticized Secretary
Benson for having stated last
month that basic commodities,
including wheat. corn and cot
ton, are relatively unimportant
to the farm economy.
His statement" Mr.. Cooley
charged, land the accompanying
maps constitute a willful effort
to set livestock farmers against
the producers of feed grains. e.

AFL President George Meany,
who will head the new fedora
ton, said in an interview:
"We're going as far down that
(politicaD road as it is necessary
to go to achieve our objective
and that objective is the raising
of the living standards of the
working man."
This plunge into politics will
be an historic turning point for
labor as far as the 10 million
member AFL is concerned. In
the past. the AFL has remained
pretty much on the political
sidelines except to indorse this
or that candidate for public Of
fee, although the CIO has been
active politically for years.
A Cue From CIO
But as Mr.. Meany interprets
present-day trends in labor
management relations, labor
must move into the political
front in force as an act of self
protection. Thus the AFL will
follow the lead of the CIO which
has long believed unions should
get into politics on the door,
bell-ringing, precinct level.
For many years. while the late
William Green was head of AFL
and even under the leadership
Of AFL Founder Samuel Comp
ers. the Federation stayed fairly
clear of any concerted effort to
steer the AFL membership as a
voting bloc.
But the new trend is toward
political action on a major scale
and here is Mr.. Meany's ex-
PLANTATION of why this is hap
pening:
Eve are being compelled by
the force of events to take de-
fensive action to make sure that
we are not hampered and re-
stricted at the bargaining table.
We are being compelled to en-
ter the political field in order
to change the political picture
that is developing against la
Dor. And the job must be done
not only on the national level
but on the State level.
"The Taft-Hartiey law and
restrictive State laws are put
ting all the weapons in the
hands of employers. So there is
no other way left open to us but
to take political action"
The States now having right
to-work laws are Alabama, Ari-
zona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Nevada. North Carolina,
North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,
Utah, and Virginia.
While none of the bigger in
dustrial States have such laws.
labor is fearful of their spread.
Labor's political strategy will
be to concentrate the main effort
