Senator Mcnamara. Demo-
crat of Michigan. commented
by saying he would offer q
motion to make records of
executive proceedings of the
committee public, land then
you can draw your own con-
clusions-you can see who is
protecting whom"
Senator Mcclellan indicated
he would oppose such a plan
because of the necessity to keep
certain information secret and
not because "of anything ]

Senator Ives said he would
have no objections to opening
the committees records in con-
nection with the recent series
of executive hearings. The New
York Senator, while saying he
would stay away from the hear

the belief that such a breakup

Original Proposal Disputed
In substance, the commit

substitute to the original pro-
posal that Mr.. Kohler and Mr.
Reuther be allowed to make

Stevenson Proposes
G|obaI Talks on Aid

Soviet Join

BY EARL II. VOSS
Star stan Writer

Adlai Stevenson today pro-
posed a global, free world con-
ference to coordinate indus
trialized nations economic aid
TO underdeveloped countries.
The two-time Democratic
presidential candidate also sug-
gested that the Soviet Union
be invited to participate in the
effort, once the United States
program is expanded and a CO.
ordinated free world campaign
has been worked out.
Mr.. Stevenson spoke this
morning at a nonpartisan one
day conference called by the
White House TO sell the admin
istration foreign aid program
TO the Nation.
Truman Asks support
Former President Harry s.
Truman. speaking at a Mnch-
con meeting of the conference.
appealed to his fellow Demo-
Gratis to support foreign aid.
particularly technical assist
ance and the development loan
fund.
There was Democrats
vote last year to cut a budget
item which should not have
been cut" Mr.. Truman recalled.
land we are still having a
hard time explaining it. Please
do not put US on that kind Of
spot again"
He said he would mot pre-
sumo" to advise Republicans. Il
will only pause" the former
President said. TO throw down
this challenge: I challenge the
Republicans to do as well by
this bill as the Democrats do.
and then let's see how we
come out.
Mr.. Truman observed that
there won't be any lobbyists
button holing congressman and
Senators to support this peace
money" Then. apparently in a
yelled dig at President Eisen-
hover. he observed: But there
win be a silent plea from all
the countless millions who yearn
for peace in the world. Who is
to speak for them? Is not their
future worth something? Is not
mankind worth saving?"
/ President Eisenhower is
scheduled TO give the climax
speech at dinner this evening.
Words Of Criticism Also
Mr.. Stevenson Joined Secre-
tary of State Dulles. the first
speaker of the day. in support
ing the concept Of American
aid in economic development.
But he also had words of criti-
cism for past administration OF
the program.
Past efforts have only mar
ginally fulfilled their task" Mr..
Stevenson said. They have
been geared in too high a de-
gree to purely military consid-
erations. They have contained
no guarantee of future con-
tinuance. They have thus been
unsuitable as a basis for long
term economic growth. They
have in short been wavering
and hap-hazard.
Though they have done
something. they have certainly
not done enough"

point program for foreign aid

Defense Secretary McElroy
today admitted there is q huge
bulge" of colonies in the mil
itary services and promised to
do something about it.
He said the Pentagon will
send UP legislation to Capitol
Hill. probably next week. Ito
handle the problem" The
Secretary made his statement
while testifying in benalf OF
military pay rise bill before
a Senate Armed Services Sub
committee.
Subcommittee HARM a n
StenniS told Mr.. McElroy he
was disturbed by 1.-The noun
tain of men blocking young
officers from advancement.

armed force of IL million men
there were $4,000 colonies, y
the Mississippi Democrat said
In June, 1858. with an expect
ed total force of 2.5 million we
will have 1880 colonies. What
are you going to do about it?'
Recognized by PentagOn
The Secretary said that the
Pentagon recognized that con
gestion does exist" and that he
planned to take action on the
matter.
The Secretary and Gen. Ma
than F. Twining, chairman o.
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. told
the subcommittee that legiSla-
ton would be requested which
would:

ment. after 20 years of off,
GERS who twice fail Of pro-
motion.
2. Permit promotion of out
standing officers to ranks above
their contemporaries.
3. Permit promotion of only
! the best qualified officers.
Explaines Bulge
Mr.. McElroy, in explaining
the bulge OF colonies, said II
was a natural result of a de-
cline in the size of the services
to wind up with more personnel
in the higher ranks-"unless
you want to be rigid and
rough"
Mr.. McElroy testified that
the new military pay bill is
vital to the country because
1t would help retain the more
highly trained personnel within
the services.
The pay proposals under
consideration would mean al
least a 8 per cent increase to
all officers and men who have
had two or more years active
duty. They also would modify
the present longevity system OF
pay to strike a better balance
between length Of service and
merit.

that he was mot prejudging,
because that is not his Job.
Mr.. Whiteside. at the witness
table, disputed the Arkansas
Democrats Interpretation of
the law.
Mr.. Harris said Commissioner
Mack violated a legal provision
which bars members of the
FEC from having any financial
interest in companies which
furnish services to anyone in
volved in radio communica-
tons. The subcommittee has
developed testimony that Mr..
Mack own stock and earns in
come from a company that in
sures televiSion station he
helped put in business.
Legal Prohibitions Read
The chairman also read into
the record legal prohibitions
against commissioners owning
stock in companies involved in
radio communications in any
way. and prohibiting them
from engaging in any other
business.
Thus. he appeared to out
line possible three-pronged
charges against Mr.. Mack-on
grounds of financial interest,
stock ownership and engage
ment in other businesses.
AS to Mr.. Whiteside. who
has admitted contracting Mr.
Mack in behalf of an spplica-
ton by National Airlines for a
Miami television channel. Mr.
Harris cited a legal prohibition
against such contacts off the
record by those who have par
ticipated in formal proceedings.
Although Mr.. Whiteside has
denied he was employed to
push the National Airlines
case, ne has acknowledged try
ing TO help the firms subsid-
larry in the TV channel. He
said his assistance was without
fee. on the basis of personal
friendship with a lawyer for
the airline.

that other witnesses at the
hearings also may have violated

1T appears to me very clear
that some people have found

situation" Mr.. Harris added.
He noted that the maximum
penalty for making oft-the-
record representations to the
FEC is a $4,000 fine or one
year in prison.
The subcommittee earlier to-
