Chapman Blasts
Power Policy
BY the Associated Press

Former Secretary of the In
terror Oscar L. Chapman said
today national power policy
and resource development has
been and is being reversed" by
the Eisenhower administration
despite Federal laws.
He told the Senate House Eco
Inomic Committee this is being
done by a system of nulliflca-
ton, indireCtion and obfuscation,
accompanied by a pressure cam
paign and display of the huck-
sters' arts such as we have rare
ly beheld."
Mr.. Chapman, a Cabinet men,
Der in the Truman administra-
ton, said the Eisenhower ad-
ministration had asked Congress
to cut funds for reclamation
flood control and power projects
He said. too. that my belief is
that this administration has no
water program"
In emphasizing the Importance
of the Nations natural resources,
both for an expanding economy
and for defense, Mr.. Chapman
said that water and electric
power are absolutely vital"
But the sad story is we are
neglecting them sometimes
shamefully. and frequently in
betrayal Of the national policy
and in defiance of the laws
passed by the Congress, he said.

Soviet Would
.StepUp Tours

/ MOSCOW. Feb. IA R.-The
Soviet Union has indicated it
wants to step up visiting between
Russia and the United States
but 1t suggests there should be
some changes in United States
laws to get 1t done.
The Russians frown espe-
Icially on fingerprinting and the
signing Of special question:
mares" as a requirement for
Ivisas for private visitors to enter
the United States.
A Foreign Ministry memoran-
dun outlining the Soviet posi-
ition was released last night to
the Moscow press. 1t replied to
ia United States proposal of last
November IL.
The memorandum said the
Soviet government is prepared
TO work out a further exchange
of delegations in cultural, scien-
.ttf1c, technical. medical and
agricultural fields. The State
Department had proposed such
an exchange, particularly in the
medical and agricultural fields.
Concerning the field of private
travel, the statement said the
Soviet government felt much
more favorable results" might
be obtained If such journeys
are carried out on the principle
Iof mutually without any limi-
tation of a discriminatory ma
ture."
1t said the Soviet government
hopes the United States will
take necessary measures in
changing the procedure of is
suing American visas in
this connection attention should
be paid to the procedure .
necessitating the taking of nm
gerprints and the signing of spe-
Icial questionnaires which make
impossible individual tours by
Soviet citizens to the United
States"
The State Department In
Washington had no official COM
ment on the Soviet memoran-
dunn. Officials pointed out, how
ever. that President Eisenhower
in his recent message to Con-
gress suggested changing the
present law SO the fingerprint-
ing requirement could be waived.

.Indonesia Ends
Last Dutch Link

JAKARTA. Indonesia, Feb. IA
lR.-Indonesia has broken its
last political ties with the Meth
erlands, charging the Dutch with
iinsincerity in efforts to work out
healthy mutual relations.
The government says it will
follow the political break with
cancellation Of all financial, eco
Inomic and cultural treaties be-
tween the two nations. Pro-
government party leaders were
scheduled to consider these adj
iditional steps at a meeting to-
night.
Severed in an emergency cab
met meeting last night was the
special Indonesian-Dutch diplo-
matte status. established under
the l949 treaty granting indie
|pendence to this former Dutch
colony. 1t followed a breakdown
of talks in Geneva between the
two countries on differences
topped by Indonesia's claim to
the Dutch half of New Guinea.
Information Minister SIAM
suddin Sultan Maximum said the
action was effective Immediately.
Tonight's meeting was called
to get the views of party leaders
on the additional breaks before
submitting the action for the
approval Of the provisional
parliament later this week.
Cancellation Of other agree
ments related to the 1949 treaty
would knock out important
financial, economic and cultural
privileges the Dutch have in In
ionesia.
A government communique
said 1ndonesia did its utmost to
reach an agreement in the talks
at Geneva before they were re-
cessed January Z. The statement
charged the Netherlands dead
locked the conference deliberate
ly in an effort to maintain its
special privileges in its former
colony.

Ipretrial hearings.
