With • Sen. •M ar gar et Chase Smith (R-Me.), Jenner introduced nine reservations which he said would safeguard American sov ereignty. Four would apply to the peace treaty and five to a supplemen tary series of security pacts• with Japan, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. The security pacts are aimed at building up a common military front in the Pa-, cific. Jenner said the most important of his reservations would reaffirm "Congressional c o nt r o l of the right to make war," and . make it plain that the Senate is , not con senting to "any limitations on the sovereignty of the 'United States."

PENNSYLVANIA WASHINGTON, March. 7— (IP)—The Senate foreign rela tions committee today put off a decision on the politically touchy , question of .a s king Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to come home from Europe to - testify on the $7,900,000,000 foreign aid program. Eisenhower, meanwhile, wa s disclosed to have written a group of, his political backers that he doei not plan to leave his assign ment in Europe any time soon in the "absence of a compelling call or relief by higher authority." • Essential Testimony The letter, written to 19 House members, was dated March 10; one day before the New Hamp shire Republican prim ar y in which he defeated Sen.

Aveiell Harriman. mu tual security administrator, testi fy that if Congress drastically slashes the foreign aid program the result would be "disaster." .

Chairman Co nnally (D-Tex.) said Gruenther 'w ill return to Washington to -.testify "in a few days." .

Official Calls Steel Strikes 'Disastrous' WASHINGTON, March 17—(W)—With a showdown nearing in the steel industry labor dispute, a top government defense official cautioned today that any strike will be "disastrous." Manly Fleischmann, defense production , administrator, told newsmen that a halt in steel production would require "the most drastic possible controls at once" to ration steel supplies. •Key atomic energy and some munitions projects lack any steel inventory and "depend on steel items which are in current pro duction," Fleischmann said. WASHINGTON, March 17—(W) —The government told contrac tors today to go ahead with new commercial building, starting on July I—provided there isn't a steel strike—because there are now "substantial" steel, copper, and alumimim stocks on hand. The word of the building re laxation came from ,M an l y Fleischmann, head of the Defense Production Administration (DPA). Of the hitherto scarce materials, major increases in allotments will go - to highway, school, and hospi tal builders. It became known, meantime, that Philip Murray, whose CIO steel workers have called a strike at midnight Sunday, is waiting to see what the Wage Stabiliza tion Board (WSB) recommends before replying to a new govern ment request for a strike post ponemerft.

Truman's Book Stirs bispute WASHINGTON, March 17—(VP) President Truman stirred up new controversy with two of his former cabinet members by the publicatidn tonight of a book in which he says among other things that there is no indispensable man in a democracy. Gov. James F. Byrnes of South Carolina termed "absolutely un true" a Truman story that he roundly scolded Byrnes in 1946 when the latter was Secretary of State. Henry A. Wallace, the former vice president, said that if Tru man ever acknowledges that a "Mr. X" referred to in the book is Wallace, "I shall charge him with the same deliberate charaCter as sassination which he finds so des picable in others ." From the book's context, it is apparent that "Mr. X" is Wallace. The new book is by William Hillman, former Hearst newsman now a commentator for the Mutual Broadcasting System.

March 18 (P)—Korean truce ne gotiations centered today on, a designation of ten ports of entry and a promised clarification of the Communist views on exchange of prisoners. North Korean cities listed here were the communist capital of Pyongyang, Sinuiju, Chongjin, Hamhung, and Manpojin. South Korean cities of Seoul, Pusan, Taegul, Kunsan, and Kangnung were suggested. The Reds have agreed on all the North Korean cities except Pyongyang. Instead they want Si nanju, 40 miles north of Pyong yang in northwest Korea. In the south they were agreed only on Pusan and Inchon, the port for Seoul. Allied staff officers insisted that airfields and seaports in the vi cinity of each city should be open for neutral inspection. The Reds objected. U.S. Col. Andrew J. Kinney. Allied staff negotiator, said afterward the Communists "seem to wish to imprison the inspection teams with city limits." Major issues remaining to be reso l v e d on supervision are whether Russia should be allowed to help police an armistice and the question of building military airfields. The Allies have flatly rejected both proposals. SEOUL, Tuesday, March 18 (A') Allied warplanes blasted vital Communist railroad lines in 86 places. Monday and shot up Red battlefront positions.
