President Doubts
Ban on Atom Tests
Would Aid Peace
Says Disarmament
Must Be Bosed on
Good Faith of Nations
By Gornett D. Horner

President Eisenhower said to-
day he sees nothing to be gained
from banning atomic and hy-
drogen tests as an interim step
toward world disarmament.
He told news conference that
testing the devastating new
------~-----~-~--
Protest on Army Cut Renewed by Rids-
woy; Borrier to Reds Cited. Poee BIB
weapons would halt naturally if
the world could achieve a decent
disarmament agreement.
But, he said, past history does
not give any great reason for
tremendous optimism about
chances of progress in United
Nations talks on disarmament
starting in London this week.
Mr.. Eisenhower emphasized
that there must be ways and
means of determining the good
faith of nations agreeing to dis
armament, and said once this
could be achieved he would like
to put everything in the pot and
go. as far as anyone else.
Strongly Defends U. N.
The President strongly de-
Tended the United Nations as
worthy of continued American
support, however, and said that
he is not going to give up on it.
His defense of the U. N. as q
worthy forum pointed up differ
ences with Senate Republican
Leader Knowland, who called in
a New York speech last night for
a realistic reappraisal" Of the
U. NJ. which he charged was i'm
potent and paralyzed."
On other foreign affairs mat
ters. Mr.. Eisenhower told his
news conference:
/. He looks askance at a pro-
posal for offering surplus Amer
lean wheat to Russia. but is hav-
ing the suggestion studied care
fully. He is afraid such a ges-
ture. intended as an expression
of good will to the Russian peo-
pie in view of the Soviet's ad-
mitted agricultural failure, might
be twisted to our disadvantage.
Hopes for Ratification.
2. Failure of the European
involved to ratify
the Paris agreements would be a
catastrophe for Western Europe
and he strongly hopes no other
alternative plans will have to be
considered. He thinks the pres
ent project is the best that can
be accomplished.
3. Secretary of State Dulles
plans to carry forward in talks
with British Foreign Secretary
Eden and others at the Bangkok
conference efforts to achieve
cease-fire in the Formosa area
with justice to everybody in that
region.
4. He could not evaluate
chances now of freeing American
flyers imprisoned by the Chinese
Communists. although he will
not give up on this and other
problems with the Chinese Reds
until a Just and decent settle
ment is achieved.

Spencer Would Cui
Pay Raise Bill for
Judges TO $4,000
Says District Budget
Cont Support Plon
For 81 500 Increase

Commissioner Samuel Spencer
today came out for pay raise
for the judges of the Municipal
Court and the Municipal Court
of Appeals of $4,000 instead of
$500 as provided in bills before
the House and Senate District
Committees.
Testifying before the Judiciary
subcommittee Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. Mr.. Spencer
said the Board of Commissioners
wanted to be on the generous
side as to a pay boost for the
judges, but voiced some concern
over the District budget situa-
tion. The budget picture today
is q little brighter, according to
some new revenue estimates up
for the next fiscal year. he said.
Instead of being faced with an
impending deficit of about $780,
900 at the end of the 1856 fiscal
year, he said. it now appears
the record-breaking budget will
be in balance. He said there are
indications there will be a sur
plus Of a few hundred thousand
dollars. He warned, however,
that If Congress enacts any gen.
eral pay raise for city employees,
the Commissioners would be
forced to seek increases in rev.
enues in order to cover the costs.
Includes Other Judges.
Commissioner Spencer recon-
mended the pay raise be granted
to the judges of the Juvenile
Court and the District Tax
Court as well as to those of the
Municipal Courts.
a He supplied charts showing
that the proposed $500 pay
raise for the judges would place
them in brackets far above those |
of the Commissioners and 16 of |
the top officials of the city gov
ernment. He supplied data also !
to show that the Municipal
Court judges are paid salaries
fairly comparable with those of
courts in the larger
cities of the. country and those
Of the State courts.
Support Voiced.
Strong support for the pend
ing bill was voiced by spokes-
men for the bar association and
by several attorneys.
The bill would raise judges
of the Municipal Court from
$4,000 to $20,500, and judges
Of the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals from $4,000 to $2l 500. In
both cases the chief judge would
be paid, as now, $500 addi-
tional.
F. Joseph Donohue, former
District Commissioner, appear
ing as a practicing attorney,
took issue with Commissioner
suggestion relating the
pay Of the judges to that of top
city executives. He stressed that
members of the Municipal
Courts are appointed for terms
Of 10 years and have no as
surances they will be reap
pointed.
Others Testify.
Similar testimony came from
John L. Laskey. speaking for the
District Bar Association; Mrs.
Maurine Howard Abernathey,
Vomen's Bar Association; Will
lam S. Thompson of the WASH
ngton Bar Association, and
H. Rhyme, general coun-
'el Of the Commission on Judi
;ial and Congressional Salaries.
Others included Belford v.
lawson, chairman of the Juvenile
court Advisory Committee, and
Iames j. Laughlin, attorney. The
after spoke for judges pay
aise but criticized members of
he Municipal Court bench for
aking 13 weeks Of summer vaca-
ion and 10 days at Christmas
md Easter. Il
Chairman Morse, Democrat, of
oregon announced that the sub
committee would meet later to
lecide on q bill.

Arts Patron Offers
To Head Fund Drive
For Cultural Center
Private Financing PIon
Is Announced at End
Of House Hearings

A Washington-New York in
vestor and theater patron has
offered to raise money from pri-
vate sources to build the pro-
posed national cultural center
here it was announced on Cap
itol Hill today.
Chairman Morrison of the
House District Committee. said
Robert w. Bowling, head of a
New York investment firm and
chairman of the board of the
American National Theater and
Academy. has volunteered to un-
dertake the campaign.
The announcement was made
at the close of the third and last
public hearing on legislation for
the center. The prospect of
private funds for the project also
was placed in committee hear
ingS today by two other House
members. Representative Thomp-
son, Democrat, of New Jersey,
and Representative Powell, Dem
ocrat of New York, have intro
duced virtually identical bills
for the cultural and civic center.
Plan Is OutIinde.
Mr.. Morrison said Mr.. Dowling
has outlined possibility of pri-
vate financing during a confer
ence here after testifying at the
first public hearing on the legiS-
lation weeks ago.
Mr.. Bowling told him, the leg
islator said, that there was an
excellent possibility of raising
construction funds from busi-
nessmen, foundat tions and
wealthy individuals.
Chairman Morrison said he
plans to call his subcommittee
in session within a week to act
on the legislation and hopes
bill will be reported to- the full
District committee. Pending
bills would set up a Federal COM
mission to plan for construction
in the District of a civic audi
torium including an inaugural
hall of Presidents and music,
fine arts and mass communica-
ton center.
Perle Mesta Appears.
Strong support was registered
during the hearing this morning
by several members of the House.
Mrs. Perle Mesta. former Min
lister to Luxembourg, and civic
leaders in art.
Mrs. Mesta told the subcom-
nittee that the Nations Capital
needed a big cultural center not
only for the benefit of this
but for Americas pres
tige abroad. Europeans, she
aid. simply cannot understand
Why the United States does not
nave cultural center in its
National Capital.
Pledging her support to the
project, she said: "All this is
coming from the bottom of my
heart. I am ready and willing
o do anything I can for this
ill. I will go any place and do
to help"
Other Supporters.
Among other witnesses testi-
wing to the need for the cultural |
center in what was described fire. |
luently as the cold war" on the
art level were Representative

session of the eight-nation con-
ference, repeatedly said there
should be no mistake about
United States military obliga-
tions in Southeast Asia and its
Intention to execute them If the
occasion arises.
Mr.. Dulles told . the delegates
he wanted to correct any i'm
preston that the United States
would vacillate in its stand.
Mr.. Dulles Spoke again in the
afternoon closed session. A
conference source said he told
the delegates a soft policy on
the Formosa issue would not
enhance the prospects of peace,
bat would further Communist
aggression.
1t was the first mention of
the touchy Formosa problem.
Delegates Set Goals.
The foreign ministers of Great
Britain, New Zealand, Australia,
France, the Philippines, Thai
land, PakiStan and the United
States first set goals of military
security and economic progress
for Southeast Asia, then took
up the task of hammering Manila.
pact principles into a bulWark
against communism.
Mr.. Dulles, first of the diplo-
mats to take the floor in the
secret deliberations, was reported
to have given the United States
evaluation of the Asian situation
and assurance that United States
fighting forces in the> Far East
are adequate to cope with any
trouble. He pointed out the
United States has a mobile force
in Asia and can move quickly.
His statement was taken to
mean that the United States is
to the establishment
of a permanent NATO-type mill
tary force.
Mr.. Dulles suggested an i'm
mediate meeting of military
chiefs from each of the eight
nations to discuss the formula
tion of general military plans for
the defense of Asia against Com
aggression.
Periodic Meetings Proposed.
He also proposed periodic
of this group. Philip-1
pine sources said the Philippines
is seeking the establishment of a
permanent and continuing mill
tary committee.
Mr.. Dulles said subversion
against member nations de-
mands equal attention with open
aggression.
Both Mr.. Dulles and Richard |
G. Casey OF Australia, who fol-
lowed him, expressed guarded |
optimism about the future of the
associated states of Laos, Cam
oodia and Wet Nam.
They said the situation in
those countries was improving,
and if the improvement con-
5inued there was solid ground on
which to base hopes for Demo-
cratic victory in the Wet Nam
election.

to an administration-requeSted
measure for one-year extension
of present corporate income tax
rates and various excise levieS
would promote an insidiouS type
Of imitation.
The President did not say
whether he would veto such a
measure if it gets through Con-
gress. His future course, he said.
would depend to some extent on
the final form and wording OF
the bill. The bill is due for
House action tomorrow.
Plan Called Deceptive.
Mr.. Eisenhower, emphatically
rapping the desk in front Of him,
insisted that the plan to give a
$40 income tax credit for tax,
payers and their dependents be-
ginning next January l is dam
gerous and deceptive. Asked
whether he thought it Smacked
100 per cent of politics, he re-
pled he was attacking an idea
instead of motives. 1t was up to
others if they chose to speculate
about any playing of politics, he
added.
The President emphasized that
this year is not the time and
that the administrations orig
inal bill for extension OF the cor
porate income and excise tax
rates is not the place for the
$40 personal income tax credit
backed by House Democrats. He
charged that the people who
brought up the $40 tax cut and
tackled it on the extension bill
die not have the courage to put
it in a separate bill where it
could be voted up or down on its
own merits.
Conceding that any tax cut
proposal is bound to be popular,
the President suggested that
Congress and the country take
a closer look at this proposal for
its immediate as we'll as long
range dangers.
Seeks Long Term Program.
. In this connection, the Presi-
dent made clear that he saw no
conflict between his stand
against the current Democratic
tax-cutting drive and the state
ment he made last month that
his administration might be able
to recommend some tax relief
next year. He said he is aiming
at a long-term tax program and
not more deficit financing.
The President promised there
would be tax reduction as soon
as the budget is in balance OF
fairly close to a balance. But it
is still far from being balanced
for this fiscal year and for the
fiscal period beginning next
July /. he noted. 1t would be
thrown still further out of bal
