The Republican Senatorial
Campaign Committee was pre-
pared today to make an about
fight tC hold the 81 G. o. P.
Senate seats at stake in this
years elections without any of
the 100000 raised recently at
a party dinner in Texas.
After a two-hour meeting
yesterday. the committee an
nounced it had been informed
no part of the Texas fund will
be offered to it, but will be kept
in Texas to pay off a deficit
from the last campaign.
The Texas dinner. arranged
as a tribute to House Republic
can Leader Martin, came in for
criticism after 1t became known
that H. j. Porter, Texas Repub-
lican national committeeman,
sent out letters urging oil men
to support the event in recog-
milton of Mr.. Martins support
of the controversial natural gas
bill.
Rejected by AlcOrn
This disclosure prompted Re-
publican National Chairman
Meade Alcorn to announce.
with White House approval.
that the national committee
would not accept any of the
dinner proceeds.
The statement issued yester-
day by Senator Schoeppel Of
Kansas, chairman of the cam
paign committee. set at rest
reports that that committee
might accept part of the fund
without any direct reference

tried to break up a fight near
his school.
Thomas Caetan, so. a vet
eran Of 20 years in the school
system. was on his way to
lunch when he stopped to in
tervene in the fight.
Students from his elementary
school and a junior high school
were battling in an East Side
lot. Mr.. Caetan sent a pupil to
call police and waded into the
fight.
The battlers rushed him and
pelted him with snow-balls. He
lost his footing.
They beat me, knocked me
down, kicked me in the stomach
and shins and pounded me-"
Mr.. Caetan said.
Vivaldo Roman, II, a stu

home because OF a cold, saw
the fight from his apartment
window and rushed downstairs.

Vivaldo said. He did not know
at the time. he said, that Mr.
Caetsn was a principal.
Police arrived as Vivaldo,

brother from caetan's grasp,
pushed the principal into the
snow.

Argentina Vote
Set Tomorrow

BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 20 Cp.
Argentine votes tomorrow in
the first free presidential cleo
ton in more than a decade,
which pits provisional govern
ment supporters against back
ers of ousted dictator Juan
Peron.
All campaigning ended last
night in the presidential race
and contests for legislative and
provisional posts. Provisional
President Pedro Aramburu
planned a message TO the ma
ton today.
Because Of Argentina's COM
plicated ballot system, which
guarantees minority parties a
Legislative voice. results Of any
thing less than a landslide
might not be known for days.
The big question is whether
Arturo Frondizi has attracted
enough PeroniSt support TO de-
feat moderate Ricardo Balbin.
who has the provisional gov
ernment's tacit support.
Only Mr.. Balbin and Mr..
Frondizi among the IS presi-
Dental candidates are given
chance. The winner will take
Office May / for q six-year
term.
Mr.. Frondizi is backed by an
incongruous coalition includ-
ing Communists, leftwingers,
Fascists and Peronists. For
mer members of Gen. Perons
government, as well as the pro-
visional government members
who kicked Gen. Peron out IN
1855. are barred from running
for Office.
Gen. Peron himself has issued
orders from his Dominican Re-
public exile to vote for any
candidate opposing tyranny
At first this was interpreted as
backing for Mr.. Frondizi-but
within the last few days Peron-
istas have been deep in con-
fusion over what Gen. Peron
really meant. More than a
score of Peronista newspapers
claimed the order was either
a fraud or a mistake.

Inquiry Backs
Longevity Pay
Br the Associated prsss

Members of a congressional
committee considering a revo-
lutionary military pay system
change have told service secre-
taries they will not agree to
cutting off suddenly the tradi-
tional pay boosts for long serv-
ice.
AS the secretaries of the
Army and Air Force appeared
before a House Armed Services
subcommittee yesterday, Chair
man Kilday, Democrat of
Texas. remarked that he feels
there would be a danger to
morale in suddenly terminal
ing the longevity system.
Representative Rivers, Dem
ocrat of South Carolina, added,
II don't think you can expect
us suddenly to cut off longevity,
but I believe we will give you
the incentive pay you want"
They spoke after hearing
Secretaries Brucker of the
Army and Douglas of the Air
Force testify in support of a
proposed new military pay sys-
TEN based more on skill than
length of service.
The plan developed partly
from recommendations of a ci-
william committee headed by
Ralph j. Cordiner. president of
General Electric Co. The COM
mittee studied ways of en-
couraging men to remain in
the military services after they
have received extensive train
ing.
Mr.. Brucker spoke up for
one change made by the De-
Tense Department in the COM
mittee's recommendations = a
four-year transition period to
put the new system into effect.
I'VE don't plan to promote
these people to the new enlisted
pay grades overnight" Mr..
Brucker said. Our plan calls
for implementation over a four
year period because we want to
promote the best qualified and
avoids promotion stagnation.
We are completing a new en-
listed evolution system which
will give us a better method for
selecting qualified people"
Mr.. Douglas testified the Air
Force will need an ever higher
percentage Of skilled personnel
as 1t shifts more and more
from manned aircraft to mis-
siles.

.Antirliissi|e
Decision Hit

Secretary Of Defense NC
Elroy was wrong and prema-
ture, the Air Force says, in
freezing it out of development
of an antimissile missile.
Mr.. McElroy, in a decision
announced January 10, said
that to eliminate duplication
the Army was ordered to pro-
coed with studies of its Nike
zeus antimissile missile. He
told the Air Force to concen-
trate on long range radar for
detecting oncoming enemy mis-
siles.
Firing back, the Air Force
said-in effect-in testimony
released yesterday that il
doesn't think the Nike-Zeus is
the best weapon to cope with
Soviet intercontinental ballis-
tic missiles.
The heavily-censored testi-
mony. made public by the
House Armed Services Com
mittee, indicated the Air Force
feels the Nike-Zeus is not
capable of being improved ia
match Soviet notifications that
might make their missiles
harder to intercept.
The Air Force position was
presented by 1t. Gen. d. L.
Putt, Deputy Chief Of staff
for Development.
Testifying behind closed
doors last Tuesday, he said the
Air Force had placed its Wizard
program for a counter missile
system with three different
contractors. And he said the
Air Force was near the point
Of decision on which specific
weapon 1t would develop when
Mr.. McElroy issued his order.

Capehart View
Senator Capehart, Republic
can of Indiana. a member Of
the campaign group, said his
understanding was that Mr..
Porter sent out the 26 letters
which created the Juror to rs
Of his own friends.
Meanwhile, there still was no
explanation Of why Senator
Margaret Chase Smith Of Maine
resigned from the campaign
committee. Senator Schoeppel
read to reporters her one
sentence letter rendering her
resignation. The letter gave no
reasons and her Office has de-
clined comment on specula-
ton that she resigned because
of reports the committee was
considering accepting the Texas
fund.
Senator Schoeppel told re-
porters Mrs. Smith was invited
to yesterdays luncheon meet
ing but did not attend. He said
her resignation would be sub
mitted as a routine matter to
the Republican conference next
week

Inere might be a great deal
Of good in the administra-
tion's proposal. now under
consideration. to implement
q series Of visits on an ex-
change basis between Amer
lean and Soviet leaders. What
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles have in mind
is a matter of high-level
policy-making exchanges, not
just the usual delegations Of
farmers or factory managers,
or musicians and cultural
groups. Members Of the So
Wet governments top eche-
Ions, for example, would visit
the United States, while key
officials in the administration
would reciprocate with trips
to Moscow.
There is no disposition on
the part Of the administra-
ton to take a Starry-eyed
view Of these projected ex-
changes. On the contrary. the
plan is a hard-headed one.
completely practical, and is
being considered on a basis
OF absolute reality. Mr.. Dulles
is well known as a fervent foe
Of communism. almost a cru
sader in his moral enmity to
the Soviet system. Hereto
fore he has opposed any cas-
ing Of the tension between
the Communists and the free
world on the ground that
an increase in communication
between the two opposing
camps could lead only to the
theological disarmament Of
the West.
But the thinking now is
that such visits as are con-
templated would add reality
to reality. thereby strength
ening the United States and
the whole free world by
bringing Western leaders
face to face with the facts

fortunately his reservations
have removed from the pro-
jected exchanges the element
of wishful thinking that per-
meateS the minds of many.
The Secretary now believes
that visits to Moscow and
other Communist centers by
leading American officials
would stiffen their resolve
that such a political and
philosophical tyranny must
not happen here.
To a certain extent. the
serious consideration being
given to such a series Of ex-
change visits is a result Of
the otherwise fruitless effort
of Harold Stassen, who has
just resigned his post DIS Spe-
cial Assistant to the Presi-
dent for Disarmament. Mr..
StaSsen, who has a perfect
genius for battling in lost
causes, has been the leading
exponent inside the admin
iStration of the relax the

He put his ideas up to Mr..
Eisenhower. and he lost, as
everyone knew he would.
BaSically. the StasSen ar-

purposes. a period of truce

wanted the United States to
back down on the stiff con-
ditions Mr.. Dulles has made
for a disarmament or arms
control arrangement.
The Dulles view prevailed
with the President. and Mr..
Stassen is out, ready to take

Cheap Politician
Is Probes Bright Spot

High-priced Democrats pay

Truman tonight will not adopt
this motto composed by Flor
ida's favorite cheap politi-
cian":
There is no Democratic
Party in America" says Jerry
w. Carter, loyal Democrat.
There is only a grand and
glorious banner emblazoned
with the names of Jefferson.
Jackson, Wilson, Roosevelt.
Truman and other great men
under which all independent
thinkers, idealists, sentimental
lists, liberals. disgruntled con-
servatives and soreheads fight

Mr.. Carter offered this and
other homilies on life and pol
itics yesterday in testimony
before the House Legislative
Oversight Subcommittee in
vestigating influence-peddling.
Although he acknowledged
exerting pressure in a televi-
sion case, he won the panels
blessing and thanks for a
morning of hilarity and free
advice.
His Only Promise
He told the subcommittee
how he keeps getting elected.
In his first campaign speech, in
1917. 81 made only one prom
ise-I1l be there on payday.
I've never made any other

Mr. Carter is chairman Of

cratic national committeeman
for his State. He reported that
an awed researcher told him
he had run for Office been
elected, been defeated and been
thrown out by Governors more
times than any other Florida
politician.
IT don't claim to be- any,
thing but an ordinary cheap
politician" he said proudly.
The people who look after my
interests in Tallahassee can't
afford an expensive one"
Started Humbly
Mr.. Carter started humbly.
When he first went to Florida
early in the century, Il carried
one wife, one daughter, one
trunk, one suitcase and one dol
lar. I still have the same wife,
the same daughter and the
same trunk, but the suitcase
and the dollar are all shot,"
Along the way he acquired
81 grandchildren-"st least
that's how many I had when l
left home"
Before starting to answer
questions. he warned his in
terrogrators that my poor
memory is quite a joke in Flor
ida" He made it clear that
his memory always has been
poor, that he's not forgetful

Ofhcial Duty Helps
The trip, which failed Of its
purpose. was on Mr.. Carter's
own initiative but the State OF
Florida probably paid expenses.

way" he said as though stating
a truism. II don't have to ex-
