THOMAS [. STOKES
The Hord-Money Issue
Administration Accused of Trying to Bar
Investigation of 'Tiqht Credit Policy

House Rayburn of Texas
promptly announced his sup
port of a House investigation
as outlined in a resolution
introduced by Representative
Wright Patman, Democrat Of
Texas. which would authorize
the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee to do the job.
But the administration. with
the backing of powerful tinan-
cial interests, did not let up;
in fact, redoubled its efforts.
Currently these are concen-
trated on the Rules Committee,
which in recent years arro-
gated to itself life and death
powers over legislation, though
it is supposed to be merely a
procedural committee to ar
range for consideration on the
floor of bills approved by legis-
lative committees.
In the present case the adj
ministration has found a
friend at court in its chairman.
the veteran Representative
Howard w. Smith of Virginia,
a vexy conservative Southerner
who has been cooperative with
Republicans for years in the
famous Southern Democratic
Republican coalition that has
often wrecked the plans of
liberal Democrats. He kept
the Patman resolution for a
congressional investig a ito n
waiting for a long time.
Finally it was brought up for
discussion this week and we
saw how Chairman Smith was
still cooperative with the adj
ministration. BY arrangement
between hig h administration
officials, on the one hand, and
himself and Republicans who
oppose the Patman resolution,
on the other, two witnesses
from outside were permitted to
appear and argue against the
Patman resolution and for the
administrators proposal for
an outside inquiry.

to replace a balky engine in Vice
President Nixon's plane in time

A new engine was rushed here
from Prestwick, Scotland, 1000

conked out as it landed at Rob-

Court 0verturns
Verdict

The Nays policy toward
thieves was wrongly injected
into the court-martial of a Ma
rine private. the Court of Mill
tary Appeals ruled yesterday.
Pvt. Victor T. Estrada was
convicted of larceny and got a
bad conduct discharge and four
months hard labor.
Before Estrada was sentenced,
the court-martial prosecutor
called attention to a directive
from the Office of the Secretary
of the Navy that persons con-
victed of larceny should not
Ordinarily be restored to military
duty on probation.
I'VE do not condemn general
service policies and pronounce
ments," said Judge Homer Fer
guson. However, it is. clearly
not within a commanders pre-
rogative to inject his policies
into judicial proceedings"
Judge Ferguson said. Abiding
to the Secretary of the Nays
instruction to the court is tan
tamount to calling him to the
stand and asking what instruc-
tons he has. No one IA
miliar with the principles of the
Anglo-Saxon jury system would
suggest that this is permissible. -
The judge added that the pol
icies Of some particular COM
mander have no place in the trial
of military personnel. Judge
Ferguson said the reference to
Navy policy on thieves was an
improper attempt to influence
the decision of the court
tial.
The case was sent back to the
Nays judge advocate general
for a redetermination Of Estra-
da's sentence.

ing a new capsule of fuel. It is
taking place at the Electric Boat

The Nautilus has been operat-
ing since January II, 1855.
On one test, the Nautilus sub
merged off Key West. Fla, and
surfaced two days later of the
eastern point of Long Island. 1t
had travelled 1.217 miles-about
10 times farther than any other
submarine had ever gone fully
Submerged-and averaged more
than 20 knots for the trip.
The Nautilus is the first Of Is
nuclear-powered submarines now
under various stages of design,
construction or testing.
In the addition to the atomic
submarines the Navy has given
a contract for a nuclear-powered
cruiser and plans an IS, 000-ton

merely get togethers" in
which the principals are de-
claring their undying devo-
ton and loyalty to one an
other. They are, in essence,
a complete re-evaluation, a
sweeping reorganization, of the
whole fundamental basis of
Big Three cooperation.
The debacle of the Israeli
British = French invasion of
Egypt brought starkly into the
open the long suspected fact
that the Big Three alliance
was a structure built on shift
ing sands. When the Eisen-
hover administration refused
utterly to accept the British
French excuses for the Suez
attack and instead voted with
the Soviet Union in the United
Nations General Assembly to
scold the invaders, it was much
more than a studied disap-
proval of aggression. It was.
at long last, a public admis-
sion of the realities of power
politics. 1t was, bluntly and
briefly. confirmation that the
United States was at last will
ing to admit the facts of life
that neither Britain nor France
could validity claim to be real
world powers. That day has
long been past.
To the general public, the
disassociaton of the United
States and her two most i'm
portant European allies was
tragic. 1t seemed, on the sur
face at least. that Dulles was
piously throwing away the only
friends the free world could
count on in Europe, and was
heedlessly wrecking the very
keystone of the Vests de-
lenses against militant Soviet
communism.
But such was not the case,
nor nearly so. For many years

One Of the most intriguing
acknowledgements battles for
years is now being waged by
the Eisenhower administration
to prevent a congressional in
vestigation of monetary policy
and Federal financial institu-
tions.
Such an inquiry would ex-
plore, among other matters,
the hard or tight" money
policy of the administration
about which Congress is receiv-
ing so many complaints. They
come pouring in from small
business. farmers, veterans who
want to build homes. real es-
tate men. and others whose
operations have been curtailed
by the boost in interest rates
all along the line which the
administration has encour-
aged to curb imitation.
The resultant tight money"
policy also has depressed the
value of Government savings
bonds in which so many mil
lions of persons of small means
have invested-to the point,
in fact. where the Treasury
recently recommended an in
crease in interest from three
to three-and-a-quarter per
cent over 10 years on savings
bonds to make them a more
attractive investment. The
House Ways and Means Com
mittee has just approved a bill
for that purpose.
Instead of a congressional
investigation of monetary pol
icy and Government financial
institutions, the Eisenhower
administration favors an in
vestigation into 1.-The nature,
performance and adequacy of
our financial system" by "a
commission Of able and quail
fled citizens" as President
Eisenhower described the aim
in his annual message to Con-
gress January 10.
He did not. however, head
of the move for a congress
sional investigation, as was
hoped. For Speaker of the

u. n. Assembly
Ends Session

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
Mar. 8 (Pl.-Faced by ominous
signs Of new trouble in the Mid
die East. Dag Hammarskjold to-
day began work on long-ran
measures aimed at preventing a
recurrence of Israeli Egyptian
conflict.
The problem was left in the
secretary generals hands last
night when the U. N. General
Assembly adjourned its regular
18th session after hearing an
official report that Israel had
completed its withdrawal from
the GAIA Strip and the Sharm
ell Sheikh area.
The Assembly adjourned sub
ject to the call of its president If
action is needed on either the
Middle East or Hungarian prob
lens. Delegates made it clear.
however. they were looking to
Mr.. HammarSkjold to carry on
his private negotiations on meas
ures to be taken next.
Lodge Pledges U. S. support
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge pledged the
full support of the Eisenhower
administration for the secretary
generals peace efforts.
One of the most pressing prob
lens appeared to be that of try
ing to get agreement for U. N.
forces to be stationed on both
sides of the 1949 Palestine armi-
stice line to prevent a renewal
Of raids across the border from
Egypt and Israel.
Many delegations. including
the United States, feel that such
an arrangement is necessary to
stabilize the border area. AL
though Israel has expressed firm
opposition. Mr.. Hammarskjold
lis expected to urge Premier David
Ben-Gurion to reconsider.
The United States was repre-
scented as feeling that the days
of the U. N. force in the Middle
East ma be numbered If it is
stationed only on one side Of the
demarcation line.
Another problem facing Mr..
Hammarskjold is working out an
agreement for the administration
Iof the GAIA Strip which will
replace the initial" arrange
ment now in effect. In Mr..
Hammarskjold's view. any ad-
ministrative arrangement IN
GAIA must have the consent OF
Egypt.
Under the present set-up. the
U. N. Emergency Force and the
U. N. Agency for Arab Refugees
are working together in a tempo
rary administration in the area.
The population Of the narrow
coastal strip on the Mediterran-
can consists Of 100000 Pales-
Itinian Arab refugees and 100000
ponrefugees.

New Atom Core to Boost
Nautilus Performance

The Nautilus. worlds first
atomic powered submarine, is
getting new high-performance
reactor core after more than
10000 miles of operation.
Navy disclosed last night that
the Nautilus needed only "a few
pounds" of nuclear fuel to travel
a distance which would have
required 8 million gallons of oil
lin conventional propulsion.
Compared to a maximum
value of 100000 for the nuclear
fuel, the equivalent in oil would
have cost around $330,000 at
current prices paid by the Navy
The oil would have filled 300
railroad tank cars and weighed
a total of 22.5 million pounds
compared with a little more
than eight pounds Of uranium
Other costs, however, run the
overall cost of operating the
Nautilus well above that of q
conventional ship. but these
auxiliary costs are being steadily
lowered, the Navy said.
| The Nautilus second fuel load
will incorporate important tech
nical advances which will
greatly extend the fuel perform
ance. as well as make it simpler,
less expensive, and more reli-
able" the announcement said.
These engineering improve
ments have been undergoing
tests at the Naval Reactor Fa-
cility, Idaho Falls, Idaho, for
the past year. The tests include
IA l.600-hour full power run last
summer.
