Canada Rift Over u. S. Policy
Widened by Dulles Visit

The Socialists also objected to
what they said was Mr.. Dulles
bland assumption that no matter
what the United States did, it
could count On Canada's s support.
M. P.'s of other parties did not
read such an assumption in the
Secretary's words.
At a press conference yester-
day Mr.. Dulles emphasized that
he realizes the United States
cannot count on Canada unless
it conducts itself in a way which
wins the moral approval and
support of this country.
II would not expect that
Canada would blindly support
the U. S." he said.
Mr.. Dulles said he had not
come to Ottawa to engage in
negotiations with the Canadian
government. Instead he devoted
his visit to the job of explain
ing the American Governments
points Of view on many questions
of foreign policy.
He conferred with Prime Min
lister st. Laurent, held two con-
ferences with Foreign Minister
Lester B. Pearson, met the cabi-
net in a body, addressed about
100 M. P.s at a meeting from
which reporters were barred and
held a press conference.
Canada's War Fear
He arrived here while Cana
dians still had fresh in their
minds the words of Foreign Min
lister Pearson in a speech at To-
ronto. Mr.. Pearson said Canada
was concerned about American
foreign policy because if it re-
suited in a major war Canada
would automatically be involved.
There was no indication that
Mr.. Dulles and the Canadian
leaders discussed the American
action in publishing a United
States record of the Yalta con-
ference, although Mr.. Dulles de-
Tended this action in his press
conference.
However. most reaction here
seemed to be that the United
States had committed a diplo-
matte blunder in making the rec
ord public at this time. To some
extent this reaction is believed
to have handicapped the Secre-
tary in his efforts to convince
members of Parliament of the
reasonableness of American ac-
tions in foreign affairs.

U. 5. 10 Give Asylum
To 70 Soviet Seamen
Seized With Tanker
By the A..oeiessd Press ,

Twenty Russian seamen who
chose a new life in the United
States rather than return TO-
their homeland will be given
asylum in this country.
At the urging Of Secretary OF
State Dulles, it was learned, At
torney General Brownell has
agreed to waive a legal bar and
admit the men with the UNDER
standing that the length of their
stay depends on their good be-
havior.
The seaman make UP nearly
half the crew Of the Russian
tanker Taupse, which was cap
tllred last June % by NATIONAL
ist Chinese destroyers while it
was en- route to Red China.
Russia, which has demanded
return of the tanker and It's
entire 48-man crew, is expected
to protest.
State Department sources said
they believed the Taupse and the
% seaman who chose to stay with
it will be returned to Russia in
a few weeks. The ship and its
crew have remained in National
ist Chinese custody since its
capture.
To admit the Russians, Mr..
Brownell had to waive a McCar-
ran-Walter immigration provi-
sion which bars entry Of COM
munists.
Mr. Dulles repeatedly argued
that admission of the Russians
might encourage similar defec-
tions among other Russian crews
and cause Soviet uneasinesS
about sending its vessels to ports
where crew members might jump
ship.

OTTAWA, Mar. 19.-Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles COM
pleted a two-day official visit TO
Ottawa today. but his candid
explanations of United States
foreign policy widened rather
than lessened the schism in
Parliament over the American
course in the Far East.
Members of Parliament who
support the liberal government
of Prime Minister Louis st. Lau-
rent and MPS of the Conserva-
tive opposition said they were
favorably impressed by Mr..
Dulles remarks to a closed ses-
sion of their Committee on Ex-
ternal Affairs. However, they
had previously been sympathetic
to American policies.
Parliament's small but vocal
Socialist minority, which has
long been critical of American
policy on Formosa and the Far
East generally, was "astounded,
flabbergasted and Mortified" one
of its members told me. The So
cialists are expected to voice
this reaction in a Commons de-
bate on foreign affairs next week.
-Matsu Defense Policy
Mr.. Dulles stressed the impor-
tance of Quemoy and Matsu to
the defense Of Formosa. He left
most MPs believing United States
forces would defend those Chi
nese Nationalist islands If the
Chinese Communists attacked
the islands. He also indicated
that in such event United States
forces would destroy coastal ar
tillery emplacements which the
Reds had recently established on
the mainland commanding the
offshore islands.
Socialists reject the argument
that retention of Quemoy and
Matsu is necessary for the de-
fense of the Western democra-
cies' interests in the Far East.
They interpret Secretary Dulles
remarks about attacking main
land military bases as meaning
the United States would use
atomic weapons against those
targets.

acceptance Of the possibility of
a world war over islands that are
utterly inconsequential," one So

gers which he and Secretary of
State Dulles recognized in such
a meeting. while the Reds in
Russia and China were on a
rampage, he resisted the pres
sure. He demanded deeds and
not words even after Stains
death when the Kremlin began
its intensive coexistence cam
paign which was a lollipop so
palatable to our European
allies
Mr.. Eisenhower has finally
yielded to the pleas and pres
sures from West European gov
ernments. We live in an era
in which alliances are favored
over the good, old-time con-
f1dence of the American peo-
pie that if we are attacked we
can lick the world. A number
of our politicians shrink away
in horror at the suggestion that
we could go it alone in areas
where we might be drawn into
a conflict.
President Eisenhower's de-
cision to meet at the conference
table with the Russian. British
and French prime ministers, is
regarded on the other side of
the Atlantic as an indication
that Europe's troubles are COM
ing to an end. Europeans feel
that as a result of this and sub
seouent confabs their continent
will find itself again and Amer
ica will eventually withdraw.
The military side of NATO
has been unpopular among our
allies in the last year since it
provided important funds for
military preparations and only
little for economic help.
There will be many in Europe
who will wish to give up NATO

satellites. The only exception
may be Britain where the Con-

Pellets Rain
OnCommunitv

FREEPORT, N. Y. May 81 up.
"A rain of red-hot aluminium
pellets from the nearby Brooklyn
Polytechnic Aeronautical Labo-
ratory fell on this quiet Long
Island community yesterday.
All police and fire apparatus
went into action as terrified
residents rushed to their tele-
phones. Three cars and four
boats were set afire. There were
no injuries.
Authorities said that ordinarily
the pellets are supposed to melt
under extreme heat in a wind
tunnel at the laboratory. Yes
terday. however. they flew out
solid through an exhaust pipe.
The pipe normally is not opened
until the missiles have dissolved.

out of a cannon" said Deputy

seemed they came out all at once
and then it was over"

like United States governments

Under the impact of public
opinion, which is anxious to
return to the good old days
when America was only an &C.

for help when Europe was in
serious trouble, the European
governments are likely to ac-
cept almost any specifically
plausible solution which the
men in the Kremlin suggest.
Our associates since the last
war are far less enthusiastic
over the blessings of inter-
national alliances than we are.
The French, for instance. have
special problems, such as the
probable clash with the Arabs
in Morocco. Algeria and Tunis

mission from Gen. Gruenther,
the supreme commander at

been granted in the past and
will be granted again. But the
French people regard such re-
quests as harmful to their

BY J. A. OLEARY

Administrator forces appeared
today to be waging a losing fight
in the Senate for President
Eisenhower's $38 billion 10-year
highway program, on which a
vote will be taken next week.
Informed sources predicted
victory by a safe margin for the
Democratic bill. under which the
Federal and State governments
would spend about $18 billion in
five years under matching
formulas.
If the Eisenhower plan loses,
it will be the second recent set
back for the administration,
which saw its military manpower
reserve program sidetracked in
the House Thursday.
In both cases, however. these
issues could be revived before
the session ends. Republicans
believe their highway plan may
be more favorably received in
the House, and they will have an
opportunity to renew the fight
for their military reserve pro-
gram when the Senate considers
extension of the draft law next
month.
Sponsored by Gore
The Democratic highway bill,
sponsored by Senator Gore of
Tennessee. came before the Sem
ate yesterday with the approval
of the Public Works Committee
by a vote of 8 to S. Republican
Senators Martin of Pennsylvania.
Bush of Connecticut and Cotton
of New Hampshire, promptly
offered the administration pro-
gram as a substitute, but the
Senate took a weekend recess
without any action. A showdown
vote may come by Wednesday.
If the Gore bill was projected
for 10 years instead of five it
would about equal the Eisen-
hover program in total Fed
eral-State outlay.
The big difference is that the
administration proposes to con-
centrate. the bulk of the in
creased expenditure on compile
ton of the cross-country inter-
