Whot Happened at Bangkok
Whot Happened at Bangkok
Dulles Bold Talk, Shrewdness
Welded Allies on Manila Pact
Secretary Showed Diplomatic Power;
'Peuce-or-Wor' Stand Won Over Asiuns

hammered home was a simple
one. yet bold:
There will be general peace in
the Far East-or general war.
There will not be any little
wars" Mr.. Dulles wants every
body-friend and foe alike-to
know 1t.
In diplomatic terms. both at
Bangkok and on his subsequent
tour. the Secretary told the little
nations of Asia to think big.
Don't think just of yourself. he
kept saying, but think of the
total threat that Communist
China poses.
Here and everywhere else he
went, Mr.. Dulles urged nom
treaty nations to cooperate with
the Manila pact powers. Above
all. he made clear that he want
ed Nationalist China and South
Korea. as well as the Manila
powers. to leap upon Communist
China if the Reds should COM
NIT open aggression.
This was tough talk involving
half the world. Not for years had
the United States faced it's allies
with so many differences. yet
bulled its way to agreements
which Washington feels are in
the best interests of the United
States and the rest of the free
world.
Differences arose on each of
the three main problems at the
Bangkok conference:
/. Military-Aslatic countries
wanted the United States to sta
ton forces in Asia so the Amer
lean units would be sure to be
involved in any fighting that
might develop. Mr.. Dulles baked
at this. He said, however, the
United States would keep it's
armed forces deployed for quick
use sin any attacked area. He
made the conference agree.
2. Political - Some countries
wanted all pact powers to con-
tribute to a single pool of intel
hgence about Red tactics in
Southeast Asia. Mr., Dulles in
sisted that, from a security
standpoint, it would be safer to
exchange such information be-
tween individual countries rather
than through a pool. He made
the conference agree.
3. EcOnOmic-Asiatic countries
wanted more United States eco
nomic aid. They wanted it ham
died through the Manila Pact
organization. Mr.. Dulles indi-
Gated that the United States
would give major new economic
aid only when military require
ments made this necessary. He
insisted that the United States
maintain the right to dole it

Survey Made on Feasibility
OF Tolls for Potomac Bridges
Engineers to Report on Financing Projects
By Fees on Present and Future Spans

in the eyes of officials, it is the
first step in a joint effort by all
jurisdictions in the metropolitan
area to explore the financing of
regional projects through means
of an area-authority or some
other cooperative effort.
Col. Thomas A. Lane, District
Engineer Commissioner, said it
was very hopeful that the other
jurisdictions recognize they have
a concern - and therefore
through that concern some re-
sponsibility-for these projects"
The cooperative study, in
fact, grew out Of conferences
last year between District, Fed
eral and State highway officials
on the need to pin down re-
sponsibility for costs of the pro-
posed Potomac spans.
Col. Lane said he had not seen
the report--which repeatedly is
not yet in final form. 1t is ex-
pected to be discussed at meet
ing to be called this week by
District Highway Director J. N.
Robertson.

District, Maryland, Virginia
and Federal officials this week
will hear results of a heretofore
unpublished $4,000 joint study
on the feasibility of collecting
tolls on existing and future Po-
tomac, River bridges.
The study, The Star learned
yesterday, is being made by the
engineering consultant firm of
Wilbur Smith & Associates, of
New Haven, and covers these
points:
l. Feasibility of tolls on all
existing Potomac bridges and the
various combinations of all
bridges which the consultant
considers are likely to be re-
quired" to handle river traffic
volumes as of 1870.
2. Estimates of traffic volumes
and toll revenues possible from
"the various combinations of
bridges" through 1870.
3. Tabulatlon of the costs of
existing bridges, cost estimates
for proposed bridges and "the
rate of retirement of such costs
through the collection of tolls. -"
4. Possibility of special tags
giving special (tolD rate privi-
leges" to commuters.
S. Feasibility of financing in
dividual bridges through toll col
lection.
First Joint Effort.
The study is the most extensive
analysis ever made on the toll
question here.

Foes Of $40 Tax Cut
Rally Senate Forces;
Floor Debate Nears
Royburn Doesn't See
Deadlock on Issue;
Excise Fight Is Next
By J. A. 0'LeorY

With all signs pointing to
Senate defeat Of the Cooper
person tax cut voted by the
House. the big question on Capt.
toll Hill yesterday was whether
the two houses can agree on a
tax bill before corporation and
excise rates go down automatic
ally April g.
Speaker Rayburn indicated
yesterday he does not anticipate
q deadlock. He said he thinks
opposing viewpoints will come to
IAN accommodation" on the
question before that time. But
some Senate opponents OF the
$40 proposal have given no indi-
cation they are disposed to COM
promise.
Would Cost $2.1 Billion a Year.
As the Senate approached the
start of debate on the tax bill
sometime this week, there were
these developments:
/. Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California chal-
lenged Democrats resisting mill
tary manpower cuts to join Re
publicans in their fight against
the $40 per person income tax
cut, which would cost the Treas
ury $2.1 billion in a full year of
operation.
2. One Democratic Senator,
who was not ready to be quoted,
said he is considering a new ap-
proach, designed to improve the
chances for the House bill. He
suggested that the $40 cut for in
dividuals be accompanied by re-
peal of some tax concession which
Congress voted for corporations
and stockholders last year, so
there would be no net loss in
revenue.
3. Senator George. Democrat.
of Georgia, who is on record
against the $40 individual cut,
said he believes that after the
Senate passes its version, every
legitimate effort ought to be
made to compromise differences
between the two houses. But he
also said he cannot envision at
this time any tax reduction that
he would be willing to support.
4. Senator Byrd, Democrat. of
Virginia, who led the fight to
eliminate the $40 cut in the FL
nance Committee, of which he is
chairman. said he will fight to
the utmost" against any revenue
loss now.
S, Senator Carlson Republic
can, of Kansas, a Finance Com
mittee member. said he does not
think anyone will want the ex-
else rates to go down automati-
cally April l. They may talk
about it. but I don't think any,

Risk" Disagreement. Poee AS
General William R. Tompkins,
no basic changes in Executive
Order 10450, which created the
present security system, were
adopted. Instead, seven new
procedural rules we're adopted as
a means of best protecting
both the national security and
the rights of the employees"
Mr.. Eisenhower last December
requested the Internal Security
Division, headed by Mr.. Tomp-
klns, to review the security pro-
gram and recommend any needed
improvements.
Ladejinsky Mixup.
The President acted after the
controversial Wolf Ladejinsky
case was brought to light. Mr..
LadeJinsky, a Russian-born land
reform expert, was ruled
security risk by the Agriculture
Department after he had been
cleared by the State Department.
A few weeks later, the Foreign
Operations Administration hired
him.
One of the adopted recon-
mendations of the Tompkins
unit is aimed at precluding any
new Ladejinsky cases. 1t reads:
5 Whenever an agency head
proposes to make an adverse Sc
curity evaluation with respect to
a person who has been cleared
previously IN another agency, he
should consult promptly with the
head of the other agency to
make certain that all relevant
information has been given con-
sideration and that the security
standards have been properly
applied.
1.-THE objective should be to
avoid conflicting evaluations
which are not based upon a
difference in the sensitivity of
the jobs. The Justice Department
would be willing to assist in any
such consultations. The results
should be recorded in each OF
the agencies concerned"
Set Up New Unit.
Actually, Justice more than a
month ago set up a special unit
to help agencies in conflict to
resolve the matter. The final
decision in any case, however.
remains the responsibility of the
department head.
The anonymity of confidential
Government informants is still
to be preserved and these per-
sons will not participate in Sc
curity hearings personally. But
as to other sources of informal
ton, a new recommendation
states:
Even though the statute does
not provide subpoena power for
witnesses, every effort should be
made to produce witnesses at Sc
curity board hearings to testify
in behalf of the Government so
that such witnesses may be con-
fronted and cross-examined by
the employe, so long as the pro-
duction of such witnesses would
not jeopardize the national Sc
curity."
Other Changes Listed.
Other recommendations, ap-
proved by the President, are:
l. Charges against the en-
ploye should be drawn as spe.
officially as possible - Specific
enough to be meaningful to the
employe." The general counsel
or top legal officer of each agency
should be consulted on the draft
ing of the charges, which should
be given to the employee at the
time of notice of suspension.
2. "Meticulous care" should be
exercised in suspensions. 1T Ia
suggested that personal inter-
view with the employee prior to
suspension is helpful in most in
stances" The general counsel
should be consulted on the suf-
f1ciency Of information justify
ing suspension. The final de-
cision as to suspension should
