This is, the chairman be-

Butler, who for some time
has been flogging the Demo-

Southern wing Of the party
believing epithets and re-

This is precisely what Mr..
Butler wished. He planned it
that way.
The chairman made a
simple little announcement.
He said he would ask the
national committee, which
meets on September l6, to
adopt again the rule that
delegations are admitted to
the party convention with
the understanding their
State delegations will sup

mated.
Mr.. Butler considers this a
reasonable rule. He argues

Money Policy
Kit by Butler
BY the Associated Press

The Democratic national
chairman has accused the
Eisenhower administration or
having a high-interest policy
that results in a $25 billion
subsidy to money lenders.
The chairman. Paul M.
Butler, made the statement
yesterday as he attacked the
Presidents proposal that Con-
gress eliminate. the AZ per cent
interest ceiling on long-term
Government bonds.
Mr.. Butler said that "the Re-
publican administration is ir-
revocably committed to a policy
of high interest rates and tight
money"
THE Republicans" he con-
tinued. still resist high wages
for labor and insist upon ex-
cessively high wages of inter-
est for money.
I'VE are proud of the way the
Democl attic 86th Congress has
stood It's ground against the
arrogance Of the administra-
ton in this field" .
Speaker Rayburn, Democrat
Of Texas, has said he sees little
chance of action on the Presi-
dents proposal at this session
and that the Senate wouldn't
approve it anyway. Senator
Harry F. Byrd, Democrat Of
Virginia, disputed this yester-
day, saying any bill that reaches
his Senate Finance Committee
would get prompt consideration.
Senator Byrd favors removing
the intereSt-rate ceiling.
The present ceiling applies
only when the Treasury bor-
rows money for five years or
more. Mr.. Eisenhower says it
is an artificial limitation which
forces the easury to rely on
possible imitation producing.

ton If necessary"
The text Of the exclusive in
terview follows:
@. AS a former Ambassador
to India and a close student
Of the area, how do you ana
lyze the Red Chinese strikes
on the borders of India?
A. 1t is too early to tell ex-
actly what it means. The puz-
zle is that the Red Chinese
have spent all this time trying
to build close relations with
India and other South Asian
countries and then they take
action that, on the surface,
seems to have no purpose.
Possible Factors Recounted
There are these possible fac
tors in an explanation: It may
be related to the exchange OF
visits between Soviet Premier
Khrushchev and President Eli
senhower. Many Americans
don't like the idea of Khru-
shchev coming here, but I am
sure that the top Communist
Chinese leaders don't either.
Mao needs the cold wal
badly. 1t assures him of capt.
tai investments from Russia
and military support if he gets
in trouble with us.
1t may be a probing action
designed to see what the In
dian and the Western reaction
will be.
1t may be the result of pure
irritation. Things are obviously
not going so well within Com
munist China. 1t may be part
OF an internal struggle within
the party hierarchy.
Major Fighting Doubted
@. Do you think this may be
the beginning of major fight
ing in the area?
A. I would doubt it. These
are just pinpricks. The Chi
nese may have substantial
forces in the area, but Ger
tainly not enough for any mas
sive action. Let me add. how
ever, that I have always as
sumed the Red Chinese would
ultimately embark on a mas
sive expansion into South and
Southeast Asia unless the
risks appear too great.
@. Why?
A. The problem in that Sec

Advantages Of Plan

however, recently told a con-
gressional committee that a
single service with single chief
of staff would be a logical and
inevitable next step in military
unif1cation.
His reasons: the Armed Ser
vices need centralized control
to speed up the time of reaction
to threats and the time of de-
cision. A single service would
cut down on overlap of weap-
ons and would reduce barriers
set up by the selfish interests
of the three services.
Air Force Chief Of Staff
Thomas D. White and Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
Air Force officer, have also
spoken favorably of the single
service idea.
During hearings a year ago
on the Defense Reorganization
bill, Admiral Arleigh Burke,
Chief of Naval Operations, pro-
posed a concept during ques-
tioning by Congressman.
Opposition Reasoning
The principal reasons given
for opposing a single service are
that it would concentrate too
much power but would not end
any of the disputes over weap-
ons and defense doctrine that
now are common in the Penta-
gon.
Also, a single service would
destroy morale that stems from
pride of service. 1nterservice
competition is healthy and
profitable. it is argued. In fact
it represents the sort of mill
tary separation of powers that
has worked so we'll in the three
branches of the Federal Gov
eminent.
A final argument against the
idea is based on an Army and
Navy assumption that the Ali
Force wants a single service
dominated by the Air Force
Since the Air Force has the
dominant weapon-the atomic
retaliatory force-it would be
able to dominate planning in a
single service.
Air Force spokesman say this
Is nonsense-that they woulc
in fact be outnumbered in q
single service by former Army
and Navy officers.
Cautious in Comments
There was considerable eau.
ton in commenting on Sena'
tor Engle's speech. The admin
istration has a position on TIT

it but does favor a greater

Pentagon reaction to the pro-
poSal by Senate Democrats fol
o single military service and a
single chief Of staff is cautious
and divided. but it adds up to:
''No thank you"
The division is roughly along
service lines. Most Air Force
leaders would like to abolish
the Army, Navy and Air Force
and put everyone into one uni
form under one chief. But Navy
leaders said they would actively
fight any such formal proposal
Army leaders, on the whole,
do not like the single service
idea, either.
