Presidential preferential primary
last Tuesday.
McKinney helped persuade the
Prdsident to leave his name on
the ballot in New Hampshire,
where he was roundly trounced
by Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee.
Truman evidently wanted Mc-
Kinney here to talk over:
1. The implications of the New
Hampshire licking and the extent
to which the anti-Truman vote
there reflects public reaction to
the corruption in government is
sue.
2. Strategy for restoring the
popularity of the President—
whether he runs for re-election
or stumps the country for another
candidate of his own choice.
3. A major speech the President

may disclose what part he will

WASHINGTON, March 17—(N
ators today to vote against the
revised to prevent any future tra
frdm Congress to the executive."
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."
We ' don't want any more Ko

prevent it." •
' ' 'TEIE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. 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. Robert A.
Taft of Ohio.
In a Senate speech, Sen. Mc-
Mahon (D-Conn.) said he made
the original proposal to call Eisen
hower back only because he felt
the general's testimony is essen
tial to prevent heavy cuts in the
foreign aid ,bill.
With the
,issue of Eisenhower's
return at least 'temporarily side
tracked, -the Senat e committee
heard W. Aveiell Harriman. mu
tual security administrator, testi
fy that if Congress drastically
slashes the foreign aid program
the result would be "disaster."
. Gruenther to Talk
McMahon said the net result
would be to postpone any appear
ance by Eisenhower, at least until
the ,committee has heard testi
mony by his top aide, Gen. Alfred
M. Gruenther.
Chairman Co nnally (D-Tex.)
said Gruenther 'w ill return to
Washington to -.testify "in a few
days." . '
Gruenther has been. mentioned
as a likely successor if Eisenhower
quits his post as Supreme Allied
Commander in Europe under the
North Atlantic Treaty Alliance.

Contempt Case
May Test UN
Personnel Rule
WASHINGTON, March 17—(W)
—The Senate today cited Mrs.
Mary Jane Keeney, a former em
ploye of both the State depart
ment, and the United Nations, for
contempt of Congress.
There was no opposition to the
demand for the citation by Chair
man , McCarran (D-Nev.) of the
Senate internal security sub
committee.
McCarran said he wanted to test
out in the courts the question of
whether a witness before , a con
gressional committee may refuse
to answer a question on the
ground that to do so would be
contrary to UN regulations.
Lait month Mrs. •Keeney was
questioned by the McCarran sub
committee as to whether anyone
in the State department helped
her get a job with the UN. She
said UN personnel regulations did
not permit her to discuss such
matters.
McCarran said her action rep
resented a "challenge to the auth
ority of the Senate." Mrs. 'Kee
ney's action, he said, showed a
desire on 'her part to set up the
UN as superior to the Senate.

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.
The WSB asked Murray over
the weekend to delay any walk
out from next Sunday night until
at least April 8. Murray, whose
union has three times postponed
striking since Jan. 1, displayed
reluctance about any further de
lay.
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.

Entry Ports
Subject of
Korea Talks
MUNSAN. Korea, Tuesday.
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.
