Gromyko Is Accused
Of Fast One on Herter

GENEVA. May 10 tAP).-
Andrei oromyko was accused
by Western diplomats today Of
pulling a fast one on Christian
A. Herter with a parliamentary
trick In yesterdays Big Four
conference.
As chairman for the day, the
Soviet Foreign Minister called
on an East German spokesman
when the United States Secre-
tary Of State was supposed to
get the first chance to speak.
Some members Of the United
States group here said the
action amounted TO a double
cross. Ofiicials were highly irri-
tated.
Mr.. Herter was putting on his
glasses when Mr.. Gromyko took
him by surprise with the an
tnouncement that Lothar Bolz,
East German Foreign Minister,
would speak.
There was no previous West
ern agreement to protest such
a maneuver and, since Mr.. Her.
ter was evidently caught on

was proposed by President Eli
senhower last January.
The administrators limited
recommendation was not ex-
pected to get far in the House.
But opponents Of key provisions
for public housing and urban
renewal in the Democratic bills
warn Of a presidential veto If
Congress produces a measure
too far out OF line with White
House wishes. Democratic spon-
sors find some announcement
in the 60-22 vote that approved
the Senate bill.
Public housing was at the
center Of the conflict. The adj
ministration opposes authority
to build new units.

public housing units In the Her

to the demurrers, but he Just
went ahead and put 1t through.
AS a result about 500 enlisted
men a year will receive educa-
ton in scientific subjects. Mr..
Gates specified that the appli-
cants should be carefully
screened. Everyone agrees that
none Of the harm envisioned by
the opponents Of the scheme
has materialized and that the
Navy stands to gain enormously
In the way Of better trained
young men.
Mr.. Gates, whose postwar job
was as a big business executive
in several Philadelphia firms,
also persisted in bringing big
business methods to naval
operations. His suggestion that
a reporting system on Navy
programs would bring in help
full performance analysis was
met with outcries from the
brass. Again he carried the day,
and by now it is generally
agreed that the shopping and
spying that was prophesied
never did occur and that the
performance analysis has in
deed been helpful to all hands.
Balks Tide at Time
Although he is rated as a
good team member, Mr.. Gates
has been known to swim
against the prevailing tides at
the Pentagon. He was opposed
to the Eisenhower reorganiza-
ton plan to vest further power
in the Secretary of Defense. He
lgave voice to his dissenting
views before a Senate subcom-
mittee before the plan was an
Inounced. He said he thought
that the Secretary Of Defense
has all the authority he needs. :"
Il think the Secretary OF
Defense can expect statesman
ship from his service secre-
taries," he said in his usual
uiet manner, land should use
the secretaries as, in effect. his
cabinet to help advise him on
difficult decisions"
! 1t was this view presumably
that led him to submit his res
lgnation as Secretary of the
!, Navy, which was to have been
defective in June. But those who
know him and his concern for
his country's military situation
are not surprised that he has
decided to stay on in a position
where presumably he could do
something about it.

guard, he let Mr.. Gromyko's
play go unchallenged.
The Western ministers now
apparently have reached an
agreement that II Mr.. Gromyko
tries it again, they win protest
instantly.
Under rules agreed on last
week. MIR. Gromyko had the
right to call on a German
speaker only II there was no
objection from any Of the
Western foreign ministers.
Mr.. Gromyko had notified
British Foreign Secretary Lloyd
that he intended to call on Mr.,
Bolz. This was known to Mr..
Herter. and he sent word TO Mr..
Gromyko in advance Of the
session that he wanted to speak
first If Mr.. Gromyko, as chair
man. did not make the opening
speech himself. Mr.. Gromyko,
as chairman, did not make the
opening speech himself. Mr.
Gromyko sent word back that
he was not going to speak.
The Russian, in fact, did not
speak until near the end of the
session.

Housing Bill
Version Dead
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
star stan Writer

Speaker Rayburn today pre-
dicted defeat for a-sl.S billion
housing bill substitute sup
ported by the Eisenhower adj
ministration.
But he would not forecast
the fate of a $2.l billion
measure backed by the House
Democratic leadership. He
said this bill conceivably could
be substantially changed be-
fore coming to a final vote
probably Thursday.
Republican leaders declared
after a conference with Presi-
dent Eisenhower today that the
substitute sponsored by Repre-
sentative Herlong. Democrat Of
Florida, was satisfactory to the
White House. They described 1t
as meeting all present require
ments for adequate housing

publican Leader Halleck said.
1T is reasonably satisfactory to

The House expected to devote
this afternoon only to general
debate on the housing issue.
The Democratic bill reported
out by the House Banking Com
mittee last February finally

deadlock which had blocked

If adopted on a tentative
vote tomorrow. the substitute
would still have to stand the
test of a final role-call vote
Thursday. sMr. Rayburn said
the Democratic leadership
counts on sufficient votes to
beat it tomorrow and on Thurs

Qecllne IN policy value AT on
instead Of the present rs per
cent figure.
At present after age IS, the
policy value goes down 2 per
cent a month until IS per cent
of the original policy value is
reached. Senator Johnston's
new bill would have the policy
value decline by only one per
cent a month until so per cent
of the original value is reached.
The Senate several years ago
approved a somewhat similar
bill but the House did not act
on 1t.
However, Senator Johnston's
new bill has several new fea-
lures, one of which might re-
move Civil Service Commission
objections to it.
The bill would increase the
present IS cents per $1,000
worth of insurance premium
per bi-weekly pay day that
employees pay to 80 cents per
81 900 worth of insurance This
would meet the CSC's objection
that modifying the decline in
life insurance policy values
would seriously deplete the in
surance fund.
Also, the bill would prevent
any decline in the insurance
policy value. even after age IS
as long as a Government en-
ploye remained on the payroll
Only when an employee retired
after age IS would the decline
in policy value take effect.
Senator Johnston earlier this
year sponsored another bill to

TWO MORE WEEKS
Chairman Murray of the House
Civil Service. Committee says
he expects his group will wind
up hearings on the Senate
approved Government employee
health Insurance bill in two
weeks. The hearings resume on
Tuesday.
Employe groups have been
urging a speedup because they
want the House to act on the
bill before Congress adjourns.
Some feel that Mr.. Murray is
prolonging the hearings in a
move to stymie House approval
this year. But the conservative
Tennessee Democrat says the
bill is of such great Importance
that it m erits full-scale
hearings.
At any rate. there is no doubt
that the House committee will
approve the bill. And with
Congress due to stay in session
until at least Labor Day, there
is every indication that the
House will approve the bill in
time for final passage before
adjournment.

Senate Majority Leader Lyndon

his influence behind the effort
by Democratic liberals to defeat
Strauss he could probably play
a decisive role in the confirmation

that Mr.. Strauss would squeak
through, though the vote is eX-

Senator johnson, who sought
unsuccesSfully to work out a de-

The Economy:
Up and Up

In 1880, the total expenditures
of the Federal Government
amounted to $33 billion. This
years spending figure of $80-plus
billion includes more than So
billion simply to pay for the
interest on the national debt.
The American taxpayer is no
longer aStounded by such statis-
tics. He has learned also to ac-
cept the size of the national debt,
now about 1888 billion, as a basic
fact of fiscal life.
Last week the administration
asked Congress to raise the debt
ceiling to $295 billion. The tenn
porary limit Of 1888 billion is
scheduled TO drop back to 1888
billion the end of this month.
President Eisenhower also asked
the legislators to lift present in
tereSt ceilings on savings bonds
and other long-term Treasury Sc
curitieS. The proposal would raise
the interest on savings bonds
from ga to 334 per cent and
abolish the 4h4 per cent limit on
marketable Government bonds.
While Congress has little choice
but to vote the requested increase
in the national debt ceiling, the

may bog down in a political fight
over the administration tight
