Nation Losing Cold War
To Reds, Editors Believe

Leading newspaper editors OF
the United States said today
they believe this Nation is losing
the cold war" to the Commu-
nists but they think a third
world war is less likely in view
of the discrimination of Russia
and recent developments in
Soviet foreign policy.
The editors expressed their
opinions in a poll taken this
morning at the annual breakfast
given in honor of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors by
the Washington Professional
Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi,
journalism fraternity.
A group of distinguished guests
of the fraternity also indicat ted
opinions similar to that of the
editors. So did members of the
fraternity itself.
Two Questions
Two questions were asked. The
first was: Do you think the re-
cent reports on the de-Stalin-
ization of Russia and the recent
developments in Soviet foreign
policy, including the official
travels of its leaders, make world
war three more or less likely?
The editors voted 'less likely"
SO to IL. The distinguished
guests voted 'less likely" 48 to 20.

Gardner Files
Study Explained

Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee said today that at the re-
quest of Attorney General
Brownell a Justice Department
representative recently looked at
subcommittee files concerning
Trevor Gardner, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Air Force.
This was done at the subcom-
mittee's Office, Senator McClel-
Ian explained. No material was
turned over to the Justice De-
partment and the subcommittee
itself has not held any executive
hearings or discussions on the
subject, he added.
The Arkansas Democrat re-
called that it has been gen.
orally known at the Capitol" that
subcommittee staff investigators
some time ago looked into the
possibility that Mr.. Gardner
might have had a conflict of in
terests before he resigned last
February.
Senator Mcclellan said he has
not studied the material and
saw no reason to make it public
in detail unless the subcommit-
tee determines that a full-scale
investigation is warranted. He
reported that he has not re-
ceived any further word from
the Justice Department.
Mr. Gardner returned earlier
this week as chairman of the
board of Hycon Manufacturing
Co. in Pasadena. Calf, where he
had been president before TAX
ing the Defense Department po-
sition in 1853. He stated in 1853
that he severed all connection
with the company before enter
ing the Government service.
The former Air Force aide may
testify before the subcommit-
tee at its current hearings ON
the missiles program. His resig-
nation last February followed
criticism he voiced concerning
that program.

Republicans Hit
Soil Bank Funds
BY the Associated Press

House Republicans drew party
lines tighter today in opposition
to a soil bank appropriation
without a new law to set up the
program.
Many Republicans Joined Dem
ocrats on the House Appropria-
tons Committee Thursday in
voting for a $1.2 billion appro-
priation to pay farmers for TAX
ing land out of production and
putting it to conservation uses.
Yesterday, however, G. o. P.
members issued a minority re-
port saying they wanted the
funds approved consistent with
sound legislative procedure and
authorization
Included in Vetoed Bill
| Both the general idea and the
SIP billion authorization were
included in an omnibus farm
bill vetoed Monday by President
Eisenhower because of price sup
port and other provisions. Mr..
Eisenhower asked a separate
measure to set up the soil bank
alone, as he had originally asked.
An authorization bill normally
Iprecedes any appropriation. But
the Appropriations Committee
said Mr.. Eisenhower had ample
authority under 1885 law, and
proceeded to approve the funds,
subject to House and Senate
action. Chairman Cannon said
only six Republicans and one
Democrat voted against the
move, although all Republicans
opposed a committee report
on it.
The minority report chal-
lenged the committees authority
to vote the funds without spe-
ciflc authorization. The admin
istration has insisted, despite
Democratic claims. that. the 1885
law is not broad enough to cover
the program.
Use Is Limited
On that point, the minority
report said no more than $50
million of the appropriation
could be used for anything but
preventing soil erosion. 1t said
only a limited acreage thus could
be taken out of production this
year. The emergency appropria-
ton would expire December 81.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son discussed the situation with
Mr.. Eisenhower this morning.
He told reporters they reviewed
plans for further administrative
action to raise price support
levels as promised in the Presi-
dents veto of the farm bill.
Mr.. Benson did not say when
this might be done. He said the
administration has yet to an
nounce new support levels for
wheat, rice and soybeans, and for
corn in commercial areas where
farmers are not participating in
acreage controls.

Mr.. Hammarskjold had con-
Iferred with Egyptian leaders in
Cairo before going to Jerusalem.
Incidents Called "Minor"
The Jordan Israeli border has
been marked by outbreaks this
week. An Israeli spokesman

Israel Thursday night and fired
at a military car in the Judean
hills. He said the Israelis fired
back. A shooting incident to the
south killed one Israeli soldier
and two Jordanian guardsmen
the day before. reports by the
two sides said.
Meanwhile, Egypt charged
that Israel had. violated the
ceasef1re by firing on the Egyp-
tianheld GAIA strip and send
ing a plane over the area yester-
day for the third straight day.
An Israeli spokesman denied
the charge. U. N. officials in
Cairo described the cases as
minor incidents of little i'm
Iportance."

mittee has voted unanimously
for a public housing program
expanded far beyond the limits
proposed by President Essen

1t would authorize the con-
.struction of between $4,000 and
100000 public housing units a

year ahead.
Senator Sparkman. Democrat
of Alabama, subcommittee chair
man. predicted the program
would be approved by the SEN
ate Banking Committee when it
comes up next Thursday and
would be passed by the Senate.
The purpose of the public
housing program is to provide
Government-subsidized housing
units for low-income families
and help eliminate slums.
One of the most significant
features Of the legislation ap-
proved yesterday, Senator Spark
man said, was a big new program
for the assistance of elderly
people.
A program of $4,000 public
housing units is provided for per-
sons over IS in five-year period.
This is in addition to the gen.
eral public housing program.
And, secondly, FILA loan terms

tee the loan.
