The State Department has
presented the Library of Con-
gress a reprinted edition of one
of the most celebrated works
in Chinese literature.
1t is an 803-volume set of
the Yung 10 Encyclopedia,
compiled during the Ming Dy-
nasty by Emperor Cheng Tsu,
who reigned from 1403 until
1924 AID.
The original work contained
l1,O95 obund volumes. 1t rep
resented the work of 5000 Chi
nese scholars, who recorded vir-
tually all learning possessed by
the Chinese up to that time,
said Assistant Secretary of
State Roger Hillsman, who
made the presentation yester-
day.
Fire ami war destroyed all
but about 800 volumes. and
these were scattered among
private book collectors and IL
braries around the world.
Mr.. Hillsman said that 80
years ago the Chinese scholar,
DIR. Yank Chia-lo, began
searching out the remnants
and obtaining photographed
copies.

The House Rules Committee
cleared the way today for final
action at this session on two
big Federal naturalization
bills that have passed both
houses in different form.
The committee, presided over
by Chairman Howard w
Smith, Democrat Of Virginia
granted special rules to permit
both bills to go to conference
for adjustment on Senate
changes. The rules were neces-
sary because House leaders had
been unable to have conferees
appointed by unanimous con-
sent.
One bill authorizes a $1.9
billion five-year program of
grants and loans for conStruc-
ton of college buildings.
The other is a SIS billion ex-
panSion of vocational educ a.
ton, to which the Senate add
ed a three-year extension OF
the National Defense Educa-
ton Act, and special aid to

LegisIuting Service Chiefs Terms

a new approach to the Pen
tagon and wanted q new
team.
The debate has prompted
some reconsideration of an
old proposal to divide the
present functions Of the
Joint Chiefs between two
groups, a set of commanders
concerned only with heading
their services and a set Of
military advisers stripped Of
all operational duties. The
advisers could serve at the
Presidents pleasure and the
commanders could h ave
four-year terms aimed at en-
HANGING their administrative
effectiveness.
Some distinguished author
titles, including two-Maxwell
Taylor and Robert Lovett-
who stand high with the
President, have urged this
division to diminish the i'm
pact of special service con-
Germs upon overall planning.
The Super Chiefs" would
presumably cogitate beyond
the reach of these factors.
But others fear that the
two groups would fall into
conflict and that plans
drawn by men who did not
have to make them work
would lack practically and
realism.
Legislative reform Of the
Defense Establishment is a
Pandora's box. and Secretary
Mcnamara has concentrated
upon the Improvements that
can be made without the as
sent of Congress. The mood
now, regarding the Vinson
proposal and other changes,
is that things are going well
enough to make it undeSir-
able to try to change the
system through legislation.

Rules Unit Clears Path
For School Aid Action

because of Federal activities.
The District of Columbia would
share in this special aid.
The hig her education bill
would cover both public and
private colleges including Sec
tartan institutions, but the
Senate added one amendment
which may prove controversial
in conference.
The amendment would allow
any taxpayer to go to court to
test the constitutionality of ex-
tending this aid to collie g e S
controlled by religious organiza-
tons.
Senator Pastore, Democrat of
Rhode Island, said he would
not object to a court test, but
complained that the a m e n d.
ment was so worded that the
mere filing of a suit would au-
tomatically hold up the funds
pending a final determination.
Both Senator Pastore and
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York, argued that the
courts should be given some
discretion to determine wheth-
er the funds should be held up.

Byrd Feels Congress Should Get q Look
At Next Budqet in Early December

AS far back as March q,
Senator Byrd said:
Congress could rescin d
balances; and I think 1t
should in many cases. 1t
could enact an annual ex-
penditure limitation on each
appropriation account; I
think it should, and Senate
Concurrent Resolution IL,
now pending before the
Rules Committee, would pro-
vide for this"
Most members of Congress
have no way Of knowing now
whether the expenditures for
which the money was origi-
ally appropriated could,
upon denomination, be re-
duced. But Congress is enti-
tied to the informa alton.
Take. for instance. the fact
that for the current fiscal
year-w hich ends June 80
next-Congress was aske d
for $40 billion for foreign
aid, though there already
we're available from previous
years unexpended balances.
Have not changing circum-
stances in the world affected
the program?
There are plenty of other
items which need renewe d
study in the light Of chang
ing circumstances. Econom-
les can. of course. be made If
Congress demands them, but
if the Government depart
ments are permitted to pile
up unexpended and unobli-
gated balances from year to
year, there is very little in
centive to economic. Mean
while, the Treasury keeps
asking year after year for
more appropriations, irres-
pective Of what has been &C
cumulating from previous

The newest phase Of the
tug-for-power between the
civilians and military in the
Pentagon is centered upon a
proposal by the House Armed
Services Committee to set
fixed terms of four years for
the service chiefs.
Chairman Carl Wilson'S
espouSal Of the plan appears
to have been prompted by the
Presidents decision to deny a
second two-year term to Navy
Admiral George Anderson
and to limit the tenure Of
Air Force Chief of Staff, Cur
tbs LeMay, to one more year.
Mr.. Vinson and his COM
mittee have long resented the
devices by which the Penta-
gon civilians keep the mill
tary leaders responsive to
their thinking. In 1858 they
"legalized INSTRUMENTATION,
in the words Of President Eli
senhower, by writing into law
the right of the chief or sec
rotary of a service to take his
complaints against a Defense
Department decision to Con-
greSS.
Mr.. Vinson would now give
all the chiefs. including the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, flat four-year terms
with no possibility of reap
pointment except in wartime.
Since their terms would not
usually coincide with the
elected term of an admins
tration, they would function
as extremely free agents in
their dealings with the civil
ian officials and Congress.
The proposal would permit
a President to discharge a
chief, but the necessity to
show cause would make the

Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat Of Virginia, who is
chairman of the Senate FL
nance Committee, has a sim
pie suggestion which could
clarity the question of
whether the proposed tax
reduction bill ought to be
passed in time to take effect
on January /, 1864, or be de-
ferred. The Virginia Senator
told this correspondent it
would be only fair to all con-
cerned for the President to
let Congress have a look at
the coming Federal budget
early in December instead of
on January 10 next.
This would give the Ameri-
can people and their rep
resentatives in Congress an
opportunity to judge whether
the tax cut Is worth the risks
entafled. Senator Byrd points
out, for instance. that only
twice before in more than a
undre d years have there
been three consecutive years
of deficits during peacetime
and never before in Ameri-
can history a planned" def
cit as distinguished from a
deficit arising from unfore-
seen circumstances. The
Presidents plan calls for at
least five consecutive years
of budget deficits.
Most disconcerting of all the
factors involved, moreover, is
the anticipated presence of
sos billion of unexpended bal
ances as of June 80, 1864. At
least 500 billion of this sum
will not have been committed
by contracts or loans or 9TH
erwise, and payments could
be deferred to later years.
Certainly, argues Senator
Byrd, somewhere in that $95
billion the Executive Depart
m ents of the Government
could find enough cash to
eliminate the deficit of SO
billion which is planned for
the fiscal year ending June
30, 1864.
