House Gets Interior Bill,
$92 Million Cut Hailed

sin, said the reduction would
not have been as great if the
Republicans had not put on
pressure for genuine cuts.
Republican leaders indicated
they would make no party
fight to reduce the Interior
bill still more today, although
individual G. o. P. members
might offer amendments.
Sc Billion Bill Advances
Praise for the cut in this
first big appropriation bill for
fiscal year 1864 was tempered
somewhat when the Appro-
priations Committee yesterday
approved a $5,997. 026, 900
money measure for the Treas
ury and Post Office Depart
ments. Executive Office of the
President and a few minor
agencies.
This showed a cut Of $l49,-
816, 900. only 2.5 per cent under
the administration budget re-
quest. The total. moreover. was
1881 million more than those
departments and agencies re-
ceived for the current fiscal
year.
The 2.5 per cent reduction
was far below the average Of
about 10 per cent that would
be necessary for a $40 billion
cut in the overall budget.
Committee members noted,
however. that the Treasury
Post office bill called for those
departments to absorb the Sec
ond step Of the employee pay
raise voted by Congress last
year. The Interior Department
appropriation bill did not spec
lily such absorption.
The second step Of the pay
pay raise was scheduled to
start next January. The
amount OF money involved
would be about 1920 million
OF the $l,026 100000 overall
pay increase.
The bill approved by the
committee yesterday told the
Treasury and Post Office
departments that necessary
actions should be initiated
early in the fiscal year in
order TO be In a position to
absorb the second step In the
pay increase which will be-
come effective In January,
1884"
Less Leeway for Cutting
Com mittee Republicans
and Democrats said those
departments did not offer
much leeway for cutting.
They defended the reduction
as realistic along with saw
ings achieved by those de-
partments In some areas as

Republicans and Democrats
We'd for budget-cutting laurels
today as the House took up the
first departmental appropria-
ton bill Of the new Congress.
A $685., 69O,20O bill for opera
ton of the Interior Department
and several related agencies
during the coming fiscal year
was cited by G. o. P. leaders
as proof that their economy
effort already has caught fire
in Congress and throughout the
country.
Appropriations Committee
Chairman Cannon. Democrat
of Missouri, and other Demo-
cratic members also we're ready
to claim major credit for hav-
ing trimmed that bill by $92,-
.8l8,800 below the administra-
tons budget request.
Even President Kennedy was
welding the ak. He proposed
a cut Of SO million in the budget
of the United States Informa-
ton Agency.
The White House said this
action, coupled with budget
amendments submitted earlier,
brought to $142.7 million the
total spending cuts suggested
for the 1864 fiscal year since
the budget went to Congress in
January.
This does not mean, how
ever, that the Government will
show a net savings of sl42.7
million. In some cases, Mr..
Kennedy offset proposed cuts
in the 1864 budget by calling
for increases in the current
budget.

Share the Credit

House Republican Policy
Committee spokesman said
after a meeting late yesterday
that they were willing to share
the credit with equally econ
omy-minded Democrats. They
emphasized, however. that the
90 per cent Interior Depart
ment reduction approved by
the Appropriations Commit
tee and expected to be voted
by the House today was a start
in the right direction toward
cutting at least $40 billion from
the Administrations sos billion
budget total.
This reduction shows there
is a growing awarenesS In the
country that the budget can
and should be cut" House Re-
publican Leader Halleck de-
clared. This was not all due TO
Republicans, but 1t is fair to
say that the Republicans on
the committee and the House
Republican task force on the
budget gave the impetus"

Red Abuse Hit
At Arms Talks

GENEVA, May } (AP).-The
United States warned the
Soviet Union today that con-
tinued abuse and distortion of
Western policies can only lead
the disarmament negotiations
to an ever-deepening deadlock.
Ambassador Charles c. Steele
told Soviet Delegate Seymon K.
Tsarapkin that his rising
chant of abuse and shrill
accusations" ruled out any
possibility Of serious negotia-
tionS.
Great and strong nations
have no need to resort to this,
and certainly not to respond
in kind to shrillness and in
vective," Mr.. Steele said in a
session Of the 17-nation dis
armament conference.
At recent meetings Of the
conference. Mr.. Tsarapkin and
other Soviet bloc delegates de-
voted most Of their speeches
to charges that the Western
powers. encouraged by sinister
"revenge-seeking militarists''
and vested interests in the
United States and West Ger
many, were deliberately sabo-
taging all prospects Of dis
armament agreement in order
to continue a frenzied Western
buildup Of nuclear arms.
Mr.. Settle indicated that he
could easily reply to the CON-
munist accusations against
West Germany by making SINH
lar accusations against Com
munist China.

ernment and the infant trade

have evidently decided that
support Of Duvalier offers the
best road to destroying estab-
lished Haitian society.
The upshot is q struggle for
and against DR.. Duvalier which
threatens mass bloodshed. A
campaign Of violence and coun-
ter-violence has been mounting
in the capital for the past
month. Near-war with the
neighboring Dominican Repub-
lie is only one offshoot of the
domestic strife.
The grand climax may be
geared to May is, the date when
DR.. Duvalier's constitutional
term of office expires. In Haiti

Last August United States aid

ident Duvalier persistently
broke promises on agreed use
of agricultural and other equip

with the growing realization
that DR.. Duvalier's power vio-
lates every democratic princi-
pie of the Alliance for Progress.
In the succeeding months re-
lations have gone from bad to
worse. Only last week end the

respected Papal Nuncio from
Port au Prince temporarily.
The regular army has been
all but decapitated. Ironically,
it was the army that saw to it
that DR.. Duvalier won the pres
idential election of 1857. But
during the last six years the
President has worked hard to
prevent its doing the same for
any possible successor. Several
weeks ago the process culmi-
mated in the firing of GA top
commanders Of the army. Now
he relies almost entirely on his
militia.
To make matters worse, dip
lomatic observers in Haiti are
convinced that President Du-
Waller has formed an unofficial
liaison with the Haitian Com
muniSts. Numerically tn e

But few persons believe this
underground Is strong enough
to bring down the Duvalier
police state on its own. And
Haitian exiles outside the coun-
try who might offer q united
hand remain divided over who
and what replaces Duvalier.
For its part, United States
policy is desperately trying
to avoid a repetition Of the
Marine occupation of 1915. 1t
would raise too many awkward
memories Of past intervention
in Latin America.
But should uncontrolled vio-
lence sweep Haiti the United
States might have to intervene

the guise of a mandate from

OOntlIiueu FROM rage AL
Of nationalism used against
white" opponents outside Haiti
and the well-to-do mulatto op-
position inside.
EXtortion comes in special
contributions" or commercial
subscriptions" mostly from this
mulatto class. They control
most of the business and pro-
fessions in the country. They
have also been subjected to
heavy taXes-gasoline costs so
cents a gallon - strictly COL
lected to pay the huge bureauc-
racy supporting DR.. Duvalier.
Eighty per cent Of the annual
$28 million budget is spent on
government salaries.
Perhaps we deserved to pay
higher taxes" said a young
mulatto lawyer. But we never
get receipts. We never know
where 1t goes or who 1t helps"
The special contributions"
lie outside the official budget.
Periodically business leaders
are called to the grand white
palace to donate" funds for
a pet Duvalier campaign. If
they refuse, the least they face
is government harassment into
bankruptcy.
An example is the Movement
for National Renovation"-a
Duvalier invention to take over
public works projects covered
by Alliance for Progress pro-
grams in other countries. Haiti
has not qualified. Out of the
total $l,169,000 annual pub
lished budget Of the Move
ment for National Renovation"
$4S8,000 came from underlined
special" and commercial"
contributions.
Brute Force Used
The use of brute force is the
most sinister part Of govern
ment operations. The President
has built up kind of Prae-
torian palace guard which pro-
tects him day and night, and
which keeps the keys to the to-
tai government arms arsenal in
the basement of the palace. He
has built up a civilian militia
now numbered at 10,000-twice
the size of the army-and en-
listed selected army officers to
train them in the palace
grounds.
Finally, there are the secret
police. They go under the
name Of Ton Ton Macoutes-a
Creole word meaning bogeymen
who scare children and carry
them away in peasant folklore.
Little is known Of the exact
number or organization. Be-
lieved to be directed by Presi-
dent Duvalier personally, they
carry out asSassinations and the
most brutal atrocities against
any designated opponent Of the
regime.
/ Army Undercut
| Dr. Duvalier is at war with
all the traditional institutions
of the country. He has expelled
two Roman Catholic bishops
and strengthened mass resent
ment against the fact that all
but a tiny minority of Catholic
priests are imported from
France. He is also seeking to
limit the Church role in second
airy and primary education. The
Catholic Church, in turn, has
continued its attack on gov
Evening star., 1963-05-03

lplete withdrawal of the 80
man United States Marine
training mission which was
working with the Haitian
army. This mission plus the
training program for Haitian
officers in the United States
which DR.. Duvalier has also
cut back - was giving the
United States too strong a foot
hold in the disaffected army.
The question being asked
now is whether the United
States waited too long to act.
Critics do not dispute that pres
ent hostility helps sustain do
meStic opposition. But they say
that it should have come earl
ier-for instance, during a stu
dent strike which nearly top
pied the Duvalier government
