Says Trend

Shifts by IS
BY EARL H. VOSS

Forces for freedom now work.
ing inside the Soviet Union will
prove irresistible and the world
can look forward to a transfor-
nation of the international scene
by 1865, Secretary of State Dulles
predicted at his news conference
today.
He said the trend toward free
dom in the Soviet Union is not
yet irreversible because the pow
erS of the Kremlin leaders do
not yet derive from the consent
of the governed. AS soon as the
people get more say, he added.
it will be beyond the leaders
power to stop the movement.
The Secretary continued his
own personal campaign to keep
the ferment alive, not only in
the Soviet Union but in the sat-
elites. He said the Kremlin
should restore complere indie
pendence to the satellite coun-
tries. recalling that President
Eisenhower had expressed the
same desires to the Soviet leaders
at Geneva a year ago.
Cites Suffering
Referring to a June 30 state
ment by the Central Committee
of the Communist Party explain
ing how the abuses of Stalinism
were tolerated for so many years,
Mr.. Dulles said not only Soviet
party members and workers suf-
fered but others as well.
That is fact which the Com
muniStS seem to ignore" he said.
They should see, if really their
eyes are open. that the violence
and terrorism which they now
denounce was not merely Soviet
domestic policy but also Soviet
foreign policy"
The Secretary said the most
the United States can do to en-
courage present favorable de-
velopmentS in the Soviet is to set
a good example.
SOftenS NeutraliSm Stand
Mr.. Dulles also softened con-
Siderably his previous indictment
of neutral nations as immoral"
He said that very few if any
countries are immoral in their
neutralism today.
Last June 9 in Ames, Iowa,
the Secretary said that 1.-The
principle of neutrality, which
pretends that a nation can best
gain safety for itself by being in
different to the fate of others +.
has increasingly become an OBJ
solete conception and, except
under very exceptional circum-
stances, it is an immoral and
Short-sighted conception"
The Secretary touched on
these other topics:
Foreign aid-He warned that
If allies like Korea, Formosa.
Wet Nam. Turkey and others
around the world must alter
their policies as a result of
threatened heavy cuts in for
eign aid spending, without even
cushioning the shock, results
would be injurious to United
States interests.

Taber Supports
Extra Money
For Foreign Aid
Economy Advocate
Calls Money VitoI
To Western Defense
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

Representative Taber, Repub-
lican of New York, warned today
that American boys will have to
be sent in large numbers to criti-
cal areas overseas if Congress
fails to pass an adequate foreign
aid bill.
The New Yorker, who is better
known as a leader of the econ
omy bloc, was filling a new role
as he took the House floor in
support of President Eisenhow-
er's plea for a substantial in
crease in the $3.4 billion mutual
security money bill
AS the debate began, Republic
can leaders were still undecided
whether to move for an increase
in the House, or depend on the
Senate to carry out the Presi-
dents request.
House Test Possible
Democratic leaders, who agree
that more money is needed, are
known to have advised the adj
miniStration it would be a mis-
take to make the fight in the
House, where failure would make
it more difficult for House con-
ferees to agree later to a Senate
increase.
Nevertheless, Republic n
Leader Martin indicated he may
seek a last minute test of
strength in the House on a mo-
ton to recommit the bill with
instructions to increase the So
billion figure. This motion to
recommit usually is controlled
by the minority party.
Congress already has sent to
Mr.. Eisenhower an authorize
ton bill which fixes a 81 billion
ceiling on new foreign aid
funds. If the President signs
that bill, Congress could add
more than $500 million to the
pending appropriation bill.
Taber Explains Stand
II have many times voted
against appropriations for So
called mutual security and for
eign aid" Mr.. Taber said. 81
have almost invariably supported
efforts to reduce these items
This time I am taking a differ
ent. although not inconsistent
position. The times I have voted
against it have been when bills
were brought to the floor that
were too big. Here. l feel that
/ must support whatever efforts
can be made to increase the bill
at least to the House authorize
ton for military assistance.
Mr.. Taber pointed out most
of this military aid will go to
support native soldiers in Korea
Formosa, Thailand, the Philip
pines and Wet Nam, who are
helping to protect the west coast
OF the United States.
The New Yorker said the
House must decide whether II
wants to support these troops OF
send our own boys over there.
"Mercenaries" Hit
rs the gentleman suggesting
we ought to hire mercenaries t.
defend us, interrupted Repre-
sentative Gross, Republican Of
Iowa. Il wonder how much the
British Vaid the HeSsians?"
Mr.. Tarer replied that IF VIZ
were hiring mercenaries W.
would be sending them to place,
other than where they live. These
people are defending their owl
homes, which is a different mat.

Sewer System
Revision 0K'd
For S.W. Area
Engineer Planning
Separate Lines for
Storm Water, Waste
BY JOHN w. STEPP

Planning for a new and sep
arate system of storm water and
waste sewers was authorized to-
day for Southwest Washington
by the District Commissioners.
The city heads gave the green
light to David v. Aud, District
director of sanitary engineering,
after studying a preliminary plat
showing the main outlines of the
projected system.
Detailed planning must wait
for final preparation of housing
redevelopment plans by private
interests such as those connected
with Southwest Area B and
Area c.
The separation of the present
combined sewer system in the
Southwest will be a major ac-
complishment in the task of
clearing the Potomac River of
pollution in the immediate vicin-
lty OF Washington.
Waste Carried to River
About half of the city'S sew
age collection system carries
combined storm water and the
so-called sanitary sewage flow
This means that in times of
heavy rains human wastes are
carried along with the storm
water directly into the river.
With a separated system, the
sanitary flow will move at all
times to the District sewage
treatment plant at Blue Plains
Once the new installations are
made. most of the present COM
bined sewers will be used entirely
for storm water. Most of this
volume will continue to enter the
Potomac through outlets along
the Washington Channel water
front.
Cost of the undertaking is
estimated at nearly SIS million.
OF this amount about SIS mil
lion is chargeable to the added
cost Of installing a separate sani-
tary sewer system which will in
volve laying about 5 miles of
new sanitary lines.
Lines so Years Old
The balance of the cost, &C
cording to Mr.. Aud, involves
construction of about 2l2 miles
of new storm water lines. The
cost also covers various rehabili-
tations to the system, the big
gest lines of which are as much
as so years old, as we'll as re-
locations and other improve
ments stemming from the
various proposed street openings
and closings, the construction of
the Southwest freeway and
other major construction fea-
lures of the Southwest rede-
velopment program.
The engineering director en-
phasized the Importance of the
separation plan in eliminating
pollution in an area where resi-
dences, businesses and parks are
situated close to the waterfront.
Mr.. Auld said that if Congress
appropriates money to back up
the recently passed Federal
Water Pollution Control Act the
projected Southwest sewer i'm
provementS would be eligible for
Federal money grants.
