Pilot agreement Fovored
In Disarmament Effort

development and capacity to
strike the Soviet Union.
President Eisenhower told q
news conference Wednesday that
he thought a disarmament
agreement would eventually
come about not in a single
global package but would begin
with a test tube operation"
He made this response when
questioned about q plan initially
put forward by Sir Anthony
Eden, then British Prime Min
lister. at the Summit Conference
in July 1855. The President
was told that Mr.. Eden had
raised the question Of a "neu-
tralized zone" in East and West
Germany with mutual inspec-
ton on both sides.
In his reply Mr.. Eisenhower
did not specifically reject the
idea of a neutralized zone MOI
did he challenge the phrase a;
applied to Mr.. Eden's plan. The
plan as Mr.. Eden described II
called for a zone of limited
ornaments based on the divid.
ing line in Germany. He sug.
gested that the concept Of 9
demilitarized-or neutralized-
area might be considered. Blu,
what he was after was a piloi
agreement on disarmament. HI
said.
| Nonetheless the exchange al
the Presidents news conference
stimulated fresh speculation
here about the possibility Of
United States policy changing
on this issue.
No Change
High-placed ofiicials said yes
terday. however. that there |;
in fact no change. The United
States opposes a neutralized area
in Eastern and Western Europe
on the ground that it would re-
tire Soviet forces q few hundred
miles but would cause withdrawal
of United States forces now In
Germany all the way back to
the United States.
The idea Of an arms limitation
and inspection zone centered or
the Iron Curtain in Germany
was frowned on by Mr.. Eisen-
hover and Secretary Of State
Dulles even at the time Of the
Summit Conference. because
they we're opposed to any actor
which would symbolic or tend
to perpetuate the division oil
Germany.
The European pilot agreement
which Mr.. Stassen has talked
about, therefore. has been con.
cerned with a zone centered ir
some other area. for example
along the present boundary be.
tween Germany and Communists
Poland.
Russia rejected such a zone II
the memorandum which set forth
its proposals two weeks ago. I,
declared 1t was ready, however
to agree to q European inspec.
ton area If its boundaries coult
be agreed upon. It proposed tha'
aerial inspection be applied alss
to Eastern Siberia and to Alasks
and most Of the Western United
States.

i've and 10 years ago. The call
for domestic economy will be
answered with a presidential in
vitation for his critics to agree
that what items-farm aid,
school construction. highways,
cancer research. veterans PEN
sions, etc.-they would eliminate
in the name Of tax saving.
Sticking to Facts, Figures
The second Eisenhower speech
will be devoted entirely to de-
tense Of the foreign aid program.
Again, he will rely on facts and
figures: the comparative size Of
free world forces today and
seven years ago when he went to
Europe as NATO's first COM
mander. the relatively small
United States pump printing" as
compared with foreign financing
of the buildup and, finally, the
amounts America would have to
spend to get the same amount
Of protection If it abandoned the
foreign aid technique.
Some of his chief supporters
here doubt whether the soft
Eisenhower approach will do the
job. They note such evidences
of economy-bloc political gains
as that in Arizona where Senator
Goldwater is seeking Republican
reelection on a straight plat
form of opposition to the whole
presidential program Of New
Republicanism. Recent surveys
have shown that. listed a year
ago as at best a fifty-fifty bet
Mr.. Goldwater has gained with
an anti-labor, anti-spending,
anti-New Republican drive to
the point where he is favored
to win big. 9l
IF the President follows his
policy of supporting all Repub-
licans. regardless of whether
they support him. GoldwateI

'Meot-Ax' Defense Cuts
Are Opposed by Wilson

HOUSTON, Tex. May II Up.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
said tonight he is against any
one trying to cut the defense
budget with O meat-ax, no
matter whether it is the United
States Chamber Of Commerce
or any other group Of in
dividuals.n ss
The outspoken defense chief,
who only last week had crit
icized his "rich" friends In the
Chamber Of Commerce on the
same issue, took out after them
again in an address prepared
for the Junior Chamber Of
Commerce.
Said Mr.. Wilson, q former
president Of General Motors
Corp:
mo one enjoys paying taxes.
! have thought my taxes were
too high for IS years. but ]
haven't squawked about 1t.
II could join the meat-ax
boys who want to chop down
the defense budget If I didn't
know so much about it. In my
opinion, it is a peril point
budget and should not be cut. "
Recalls Own Experience
He declared that "some of the
attitude in Washington presently
reminds me of an old purchasing
agent I had to call on in selling
parts for automobiles. His OPEN
ing remark was always Your
price is too high-what is it?''
Mr.. Wilson said that this years
rather austere defense program
we have scheduled is being Sc
verely criticized and political
leaders on both sides Of the aisle
are talking in terms Of the bill
lions that can be cut" But he
said None Of them contend that
the basic situation in the world
has changed or that the threat
has lessened."
He said that in 1853 I'VE were
severely criticized for reducing
the defense budget by approxi-
mately IS billion when we dis.
covered" that there was a carry.
over In funds from previous years
not needed to carry out the mill
tary program. And. he added
las recently as last year Con-
gress insisted upon voting an ad-
ditional 5000 million for the de-
tense program. even though as
sured by the Department of De-
Tense that the funds were not
required" Now. he contended
there are demands for unjusti-
fled cuts.
Mr.. Wilson said that charges
of duplication and waste are

grossly exaggerated and are ar
echo from the past"
He eaid the military program

new requests" totaling $40 bill
lion. but still do not provide ev.
erything the military services
would like to have. AS matter
|of fact, he said. the initial esti.
mates made last year totalec
more than $50 billion. (The
new requests" are for authori-
cations to order goods or serv.
ices; the proposed spending
budget, as sent by President Eli
senhower. was about $38.5 bill
lion.)
Seen Effect on Strength
The 1858 budget. Mr.. Wilson
said. cannot be cut at this time
without cutting military strength
and radically affecting our over
seas deployments and commit
ments."
The results Of present policies
speak for themselves. the Secre-
tary said, then added:
Military aggression by Com
munist imperialism has beer
halted. Our economy is healthy
and growing. with prosperity
widely shared. After years Of
chronic deficits, the third bal
anced budget in a row has beer
submitted.
These happy results seem tc
have caused some people to take
for granted the protection pro.
vided by our armed forces ant
at the same time to suddenly
downgrade the dangers that W.
as a Nation still face. Nothing
could be more pleasing to oul
potential enemies than a rapiC
decrease in our military strength
at this time and nothing coulC
be more dangerous to our future
as well as that Of the entire fret

Undoubtedly another concern

Allies at present seem to have

for essential nuclear power in the
recipient country.
The department said the in
ternational atomic agency could
not use force to recover materials
in the case of a violation of the
peaceful uses, but the agency
could report the facts to the
U. N.
Senator Hickenlooper wanted
to know If there is any reason
to believe this agency could be
any more successful than the
U. N. has been in obtaining COM
pliance with its resolutions.
The department said the
atomic agency will be able by a
simple majority of its board of
governors to cut of further as
sistance in cases Of violations
a sanction which is not available
to other international organiza-
tions.
The department reminded Sem
ator Hickenlooper that world
wide development of atomic en-
ergy has begun and will expand
even if this agency is not estab-
lished. Therefore. the depart
ment said this country faces a
choice "of cooperation or chaos
in the worldwide development
of atomic energy" In a response
to another question, the depart
ment said that Switzerland and
Venezuela have attached reser-
vations to their approval Of the
treaty. Switzerland did not obli-
gate itself to report to the U. NJ.
since it is not q member.
Venezuela Takes Firm Stand
Venezuela specified that it does
not imply acceptance Of the
jurisdiction of the International
Court of Justice without its ex-
press consent and will not re-
gard future amendments to the
treaty as operative until Vene-
zuelan constitutional provisions
have been complied with.
One of the questions raised
Friday by Senate Republican
Leader Knowland was that the
treaty could be amended later
by the agency without Senate
action on the amendments. Sec
Rotary Of State Dulles replied
that this country's source Of
protection against undesirable
amendments would be the right
to withdraw from the organiza-
ton.

said 1t has no doubt 1t would
be successful in keeping Red
China out.
The department expressed
some doubt that the Chinese
Reds would even apply for men,
bership. because the Chinese Ma
tionalist government would al
ready have become q member
land to apply would constitute
an acceptance by the Red regime
of a two China concept"
The first Senate hearing on
the treaty Friday brought out
the fact that the United States
has increased its original Offer
of nuclear material to the agency
to 5000 Kilograms. while the
Russians have offered only Sc
Kilograms.
n answering the Hickenloopel
questions. the department point.
ed out that the Russian Offer
was made in 1855, and the de.
partment expects the Soviets tt
increase it. "since it is unlikely
that the USSR would be content
to let the United States exercise
sole leadership in the atoms-for-
peace field"
Hearing Set for Tuesday
The Senate hearings will be
resumed Tuesday with Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic
Energy Commission as the wit
ness.
Indications are the treaty will
provoke sharp debate before the
Senate acts. The time factor
may become the most serious
obstacle to ratification this yeal

Calm, Logical
Talk on Budget
BY MARTIN s. HAYDEN

President Eisenhower has re-
jected suggestions that he keel

big business leaders in the save

launch with q Nationwide tele-
vision speech Tuesday night.
Instead, in two fireside chats.

House staffers are calling q

the story that America must
either pay for arms and foreign
aid, or risk loss Of its freedom
to Russia.
Specifically. Mr.. Eisenhower
has vetoed for the time being
the approach of White House
advisers who would have him

Igressmen that they cannot make
political hay by attacking his
fiscal policies, and still expect
his 1858 Endorsement. and. "a

General Motors Corporation, to
illustrate where defense dol
lars go.
Singing Blow ut G. O. r.
Still before the President is a
letter sent the White House this
week by william H. Doerfner,
general manager Of GINS Sagi-

publicly blasted the $71.8 billion

program in the worlds history"
and said he and other business
men will not support the @. o. p.

Despite a prompt GIN state

Associated Press stan Writer


The United States is seeking
to get Soviet Russia to accept
a pilot agreement providing for
arms reduction and inspection
in q limited test area. With that
aim in mind. this country is
consulting Britain, France and
Canada on a proposed reply to
Russia's latest disarmament pro-
posals.
Officials here said yesterday
that the test area-if one can
ever be agreed on-might very
well be located in Central and
Eastern Europe. But they as
serted 1t would not be centered
on the dividing line between
East and West Germany.
Highly placed authorities here
also ruled out-at least in the
present state of world affairs
any positive United States inter-
est in the creation of neutral
lied or demilitarized zone in the
heart Of Europe. They made a
sharp distinction between such
"a zone. which would require the
removal Of United States and
Allied troops from main defensive
positions, and q zone Of small
dimensions in which arms and
forces might be limited and tech
niques for enforcing arms con-
troll agreements could be tested.
All such matters are being
studied with extraordinary ear
nestness here because so many
officials believe the Soviet gov
eminent is showing at last an
unusual seriousness in its APP
proach to disarmament negotia-
tons under way in London.
Stassen Reports
Harold Stassen. President
Eisenhower's top negotiator on
disarmament. has reported that
the London talks are doing more
hopeful work than any disarma-
ment conference in the postwar
period. State Department off,
Gals say Russia's apparently
genuine concern over disarma-
ment issues can almost certainly
be attributed to two factors:
!. Real worry about the devas-
tating effects Of a nuclear war
2. Concern over what is dubbed
the fourth country problem. ,
This is the enormous problem
that will arise when countries
other than the present big three
the United States, Britain ano
Russia - begin to get or make
atomic weapons on an ever widen.
ing scale at ever decreasing cost
Several highly placed official.
here believe the dangers OF thi:
prospect and the great compli-
cations Of international control
which it foreshadows in a few
years. are appreciated as keenly
in Moscow as in Washington and
London.
