Congress Reaction
On Policy Mixed

A new strain on relations be-
tween the United States. and
Britain was foreseen today as a
result Of the British decision to
reduce controls on trade with
Red China.
Defying American objections.
British Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd announced in Parliament
yesterday that henceforth I'VE
shall adopt the same lists for
China and the Soviet bloc" The
effect Of this is to reduce Red
China trade controls to the levels
Of those applied to Russia and
her European satellites.
United States officials said the
impact Of the British action on
relations with the United States
would be determined largely by
the degree Of criticism aroused
In Congress.
Reaction Is Mixed
Reaction among congressional
leaders was mixed. While Chair
man Green Of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee took
q moderate view, Senate Repub-
lican Leader Knowland of Cali
fornia charged that Great Brit
amt decision can only strengthen
the enemies of the free world.
Senator Green said that while
"our foreign policy is determined
by ourselves and we may like to
persuade other countries to act
with US, they have an equal right
to act in their own interests"
Senator Knowland said many
Of the items the British are now
prepared to sell Red China must
be considered strategic by any
rule Of reason" He included in
this category locomotives. ma

West Prepares
Plea 10 Russia
BONN. Germany, May 81 tR,

BONN, Germany, May 81 tH1.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
said today the West is preparing
to submit to Russia an important
proposal Of great moral signifi-
canoe for the whole word"
Mr.. Adenauer made this an-
nouncement at a news confer
ence a day after returning from
Washington.
The 81-year-old Chancellor
said he would disclose no details
now. explaining that consulta-
tions are still going on between
the Western allies.
He limited. however, that the
proposal would be made in the
London disarmament talks in an
effort to win the confidence and
good will of Russia in the search
for a formula to relax East-West
tension.
Mr.. Adenauer did not say so,
but he appeared to be referring
to the new instructions for nego-
tiation Of a disarmament agree
ment with the Russians approved
last week by President Eisen-
hover. The Chancellor said the
approval Of "other nations" In
the Western alliance was being
sought. thus indicating that he
had already given his own con-
sent. The London arms talks are
now in recess until Monday.
Chancellor Adenauer warned
that an agreement on disarma-
|ment could not be reached Gin
a matter Of days" He said 1t
might take "a year or two" To
settle the first phase Of inter-
national inspection. Then, he
said. would be the time for q

Senators
Also Seek
Lobby Curbs
BY CECIL HOLLAND

A special Senate committee to-
day recommended broad revi.
sion Of the laws on campaign
contributions and spending and
on lobbying designed ito cure
the evils and mischief found to
exist"
Greater public disclosure and
stronger administration over
both campaign financing and
lobbying featured the legislative
proposals.
They were submitted by the
special Senate committee set UP
more than a year ago to investi-
gate political activities, lobbying
and campaign contributions and
expenditures.
Three Key Points
Highlights Of the committees
Recommendations on campaign
financing were:
l. Removal Of any limitation
on expenditures in presidential
and vice presidential campaigns
but with fuller reporting on con-
tributions.
2. A limit on annual contri-
buttons by any individual Of
$4,000.
8. A ban on contributions in
any name but the actual donor
and a prohibition on contribu-
lions in excess of 500 by persons
under Is.
Tighter Rein on Lobbying
On lobbying, the committee
recommended stricter reporting
by those attempting to influence
Congress either directly or in
directly.
AS a means Of better enforce
ment the Comptroller General,
who heads the General Account
ing Office. would be charged with
administering the laws in both
fields. Criminal penalties would
be provided for failing to make
reports or filing false reports or
statements.
Under present law. reports and
statements on both campaign
financing and lobbying are filed
with the Secretary of the Senate
and the Clerk of the House.
Lack of Administration
4 The committee, in its report.
said they are mere repositories"
and added:
mo duties or responsibilities
are imposed upon the Secretary
lor Clerk to monitor any state
ments or reports, or to be con.
cerned with failure to file
There is. therefore. no effective
administration at the Federal
level of disclosure statutes.

six months Of this year. according

Wood said the permits are issued
at his office without charge and they
aid him greatly in his bookkeeping
The $l4 500 figure for the first six

punny beside the whopping $232. zoo

the kyanite Mining Corporation to
build storage and processing equip

Even allowing for the $500 900

by more than $4,000. There were
