PAYDAY, MAY 9, 1952 Ike,' Taft Split On , Foreign Aid - WASHINGTON, May 8 (AP)—Two leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination split sharply today over the size of the foreign aid program needed to guarantee American security during the next 12 months.. Gen. Dwight D: Eisenhower said congressional proposals to cut foreign aid by $1,000,000,000 would be "heavily and seriously felt"— and that cuts substantially beyond that point might endanger U.:S: security. "I do not at all agree," Sen. Rob ert A. Taft of Ohio declared at a Hartford, Conn., news conference when informed of Eisenhower's statement. The senator said a cut of even $2,000,000,000, bringing mutual se curity spending down to about $6,000000,000 for the next fiscal year, "would in no way endanger the program or the security of the United States." Security is Stabilizing Eisenhower's views were ex pressed in a message to Sen. Con nally D-Tex., chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee. He told Connally there can be little question but that the na tion's mutual security policy is gradually.•stabilizing "the inter national scene." The • commander of the North Atlantic Treaty forces spoke in guarded terms and said his state ment about aid funds was based on a number of assumptions. Ike to Return These included the assumption that the financial computations on President Truman's $7,900,000,000 foreign aid bill have been "com petently made on the basis of our military requirements." • • Eisenhower is giving up his in ternational command June I. and returning to the United States, where he is being boomed for the Republican presidential nomina tion. Connally cabled him last Mon day. requesting comment on the bill and on the effect of any re ductions in it. In his lengthy re ply, Eisenhower said in part: `,While we here are not in• a positibn to compute in detail the effect of specific fund reductions, it is -quite clear that in terms of impact, on our military programs, an aggregate reduction of the or der of . $1,0.00,000,000 would be heavily and seriously felt. "Any cut materially greater than this would create such diffi culties that a drastic revision of the whole program might well be indicated and might therefore en danger th e proposed military buildup no w visualized, an d which I consider essential in the interest of U. S. security."

Yet they brushed aside a second United Nations Command request for an indefinite recess and called for another session today. As the tenth month of negotia tions ends today, U.N. negotiators were leaving no room for Com munist haggling over the prisoner issue. ' The U.N. delegates were com mitted to a stand of no retreat from the principle that captives in Allied hands never will be forced to return to Red rule against their wishes. Allied delegates were fortified by statements of full support from President Truman, Secretary of State Acheson, and high govern ment officials of Britain and Can ada. The U.N. offered to return 70,- 000 prisoners who said they would go to Communist territory with out being forced. But about 60,- 000 Chinese and North Korean soldiers declared they would rather die than return to Com munist soil.

John Moore - was elected vice chairman and David Kresge, sec retary treasurer. Joseph Stratos, former co-chairman with Dover spike, was named honorary chair man.

PENNSYLVANIA, BANK Truman To Name His 'Choice' By the Associated Press President Truman reserved the right to name his choice for 'the Democratic presidential nomina tion yesterday and reaffirmed his stand on the explosive civil rights issue that split the party in 1948. Truman made it clear to his news conference that while he is still holding his fire, he may speak out on the man •he would like to see as the Democratic standard bearer in advance of the party's national convention in July. The President said along this line that he has never been gagged and won't be gagged. Truman indicated he was wait ing for the right psychological moment as he told newsmen with a grin that he was a pretty good judge of timing on political ap proaches. Wide Open Convention Less than 24 hours earlier, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee had touched on the same theme, at a different angle. The tall man from Chattanooga, leader in the field so far in the race for delegates to the national convention, told a rally in upstate New York that the people have a right to select their candidates for President and "not have their choice made for them." Kefauver has called for a wide open convention, without any wire-pulling by political bigwigs in picking the party's nominee. FEPC Pfank On the question of civil rights, Truman said his position on that subject remains unchanged and he expects the Democratic plat form to contain an adequate civil rights plank. Four years ago, Truman's in sistence on a compulsory Fair Employment Practices Commis sion (FEPC) plank touched off a Southern revolt, and led to the creation of a States' Rights fac tion by Dixie Democrats.
