New Security Plan
Announced by Ike
WASHINGTON, April 27 (M—President Eisenhower set up today a tight new security
program intended to make sure that the millions of federal employes have "complete
and unswerving loyalty to the United States."
Ike Hears
Of European
Arms Gains
WASHINGTON, April 27 . (p)—
Secretary of State Dulles returned
from a Paris conference today to
give President Eisenhower a re
port of new gains in the defense
preparations of Western Powers.
But following him across the
Atlantic came news of another
setback in Germany for the Euro
pean Army Treaty, which the
United States considers essential
to the Western defense system.
Dulles and other Cabinet lead
ers face the task of justifying to
Congress a proposed new round
of foreign aid appropriations. Dul
les himself has regarded progress
on the European Army -pact as
a measure of Europe',s qualifica
tion for continued defense aid.
Action on the treaty is already
far behind the schedule American
officials had hoped it would keep.
"We had, I think, a very suc
cessful meeting," Dulles said. "We
were very realistic. We accom
plished some good, hard, practical
results which I think on the one
hand fully protected the interests
of the United States and on the
other hand built up the strength
of NATO, •in which we were all
interested.
"We expect first to report to
the President, then meet with Con
gressional committees. And later
I may have a few more words to
say generally."
This last comment evidently
meant that Dulles was consider
ing making a broadcast report to
the nation.
German Chief
Reverses Plan
In Pact Drive
BONN, Germany, April 27 (fP)—
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to
day suddenly dropped 'his -plan to,
bypass balky senators in his drive
for final approval of twin treaties
joining a rearmed West Germany
with free Europe's defenses.
Adenauer earlier had announced
he would ask federal President
Theodor Heuss to sign the peace
contract giving West Germany vir
tually full independence and the
related pact to put German troops
into a European army even though
the Bundesrat upper house of Par
liament refused last week to vote
on ratification of the treaties.
But the Chancellor announced
todayhe had abandoned this plan.
He gave no reason for reversing
his decision on this strategy, de- 1
vised by the government to by
pass the upper house so that West
Germany would become the first
of the six prospective members of
the proposed European Defense
Community to ratify the treaties.
In abandoning his plan, govern
ment officials said Adenauer now
hopes he can persuade the sena
tors to reconsider and ratify 'the
treaties, with the argument that
the Supreme Court then could
quickly judge on the pacts.' The
government maintains the high
court cannot pass judgment until
pacts are ratified, and this threat
ens an indefinite delay unless the
Bundesrat changes its mind.
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis.) called
it "a pretty darn good program."
The new plan goes into operation
May 27. It provides for a security
test of some kind for everyone
appointed to a government job,
from snow shoveler to atomic en
ergy technician.. The strictness of
the investigation will vary accord
ing to the nature of the job.
Fair Treatment Stressed
Anybody seeking . ... a "sensitive
position"—one in which he could
bring about "a material adverse
effect on the national security"—
will have to cbme through a full
scale investigation. Persons now
holding sensitive jobs will be re
checked in the light of these stan
dards.
The presidential order stresses
"the American tradition that all
persons should receive fair, im
partial and equitable treatment."
Yet Atty Gen. Brownell con
ceded it still would be possible
that a federal worker could be
fired as a security risk without
ever knowing the , exact nature
of - the charges against him or the
name of his accuser.
The Eisenhower prografn junks
the loyalty-security system erec
ted under former President Tru
man and is pegged entirely to
security.
Guidelines Announced
The new order -is in keeping
with campaign promises of a
clean-up in Washington and is
aimed at what the President has
described as "the disloyal and the
dangerous."
These, the Eisenhower order
said, are some of the guidelines to
be followed in security investiga
tions:
1. Anything indicating an indi
vidual is unreliable or untrust
worthy.
2. Deliberate misrepresentations,
lies or omission of material facts.
3. Criminal, infamous or dis
graceful conduct, including sexual
perversion and addiction to liquor,
or drugs.
4. Signs of insanity.
5. Any fact indicating a person
might be persuaded to act against
the best interests of national se
curity. •
6. Any connections with sabo
tage, espionage, treason or sedi
tion.
7. Sympathetic association with
individuals or organizations in
terested in-overthrowing the U.S.
government by violence or uncon
stitutional means.
Kyes Raps Old De
WASHINGTON, April 27 (W)—
Deputy Secretary of Defense Rog
er M. Kyes today accused the old
Truman administration of setting
up "fantastic paper targets" in its
defense planning, including one
plan that would have ' cost $530
billion for hard goods alone.
"Hard goods" is the military
term for planes, tanks, guns and
other weapons.
Addressing 2500 American bus
iness leaders at the 41st annual
convention of the - U.S. Chamber
of Commerce. Kyes said in a ma
jor policy statement that the Eis
enhower administration will re
view the nation's entire mobiliza
tion setup, to weed out waste and
scrap unrealistic planning.
Attitudes Criticized
The new administration's goal,
he' said, will be to slash expendi
tures by eliminating high-cost
arms plans and at the same time
keep America strong in peace or
war.
Kyes had sharp words for both

NEW YORK, April 27 (.P) Is

Attorney 0. John Rogge doesn't

put it squarely today in state Su

question.

Rogge was defense attorney for

not to regard these publications

Called for Restraint
A basic problem in defense pro

cut the military to the bone in

always demands more than it

Rival Plans Delay
Truce Negotiations
PANMUNJOM, Tuesday, April' 28 (A')—The newly revived Ko
rean truce talks appeared headed today for long negotiations on
rival Allied and Communist plans for settling the prisoner exchange
issue-road block to a Korean armistice.
Two days of discussions by the
Allied negotiators unconvinced that
their stand that all captives in
Allied camps must be returned to
Communist rule.
No Basis For Doubt
The senior Allied delegate, Lt.
Gen. William K.. Harrison, said af
ter Monday's 52-minute meeting
the Reds new plan seemed an in
direct attempt to force Commu
nist prisoners back to their home
land under a threat of "endless
captivitY"
However, Harrison added, "In
this short time we have no real
basis for assuming that the Com
munists will not negotiate in good
faith."
Gen. Nam 11, Korean head of
the Communist truce team, did
not slam the door on any com
promise. In his closing statement
Monday he declared:
"The attainment of the negotia
tions depends upon the efforts of
both sides."
Peiping Reports
A Peiping radio commentary
from Korea said "no progress"
was made in the second full dres •
session of the truce delegates.
The Red broadcast, heard by
The Associated Press in San Fran
cisco, declared "it is now up to
the American delegates to show
that they are also willing to elim
inate differences in the w4y of an
armistice in Korea."
In a mild tone, the Peiping ac
count said "the main thing was
to agree on the principle that a
high level political conference
would settle the question of re
luctant prisoners. Arrangement
on how to, hand the question to
the political conference could be
easily solved."

Kyes lashed out at the Truman

after the outbreak of the Korean
War in June, 1950. He said it was
marked by exaggerated figures
and poor planning and inefficient
execution.

Trip Home
TOKYO, Tuesday, April 28 (11')
—The first of the 149 U.S. sick
and wounded prisoners returned
by the Communists head home
ward this week.
The exact time has not been
announced. The prisoners still are
in the Army hospitals in Tokyo.
But the United Nations Command
said some would leave by plane
within the next few days.
Their first stop on American
soil will be Hawaii, where they
will be kept in a military hospital
for about 24 hours. Then they
will resume the flight home.
With the harrowing days in
Communist captivity behind them,
some of the sick and wounded sat
in the hospitals and talked calmly
of mistreatment, and COmmunist
attempts at indoctrination.
, Cpl. Harry E. Purvis of York,
S.C., repeated early assertions of
some returned that a few Ameri
can prisoners turned informers.
Purvis said there were 15 "pro
gressives" in his camp who "hung
around with the Chinese" and
tipped off escape plots.
Two Negroes told of Commu
nist attempts to make racial
propaganda.
Cpl. Robert Dunn of Muskogee,
Okla., a prisoner for six months,
said the Communists tried to get
him to make a recording saying
"colored people don't get the
breaks in the States." He refused.
The other- Negro soldier, Pfc.
Benjamin F. McGhee of Phoenix,
Ariz.; said the Communists "talked
about segregation and how Ameri
can Negroes were treated" all
during his month-long captivity,
Senate Ta bles
Oil Proposal
WASHINGTON, April 27 (.0—
The Senate booted out of the way
today a proposal to substitute fed
eral control for the states' owner
ship provisions of the submerged
offshore lands bill.
It voted 56 to 33 to table a fed
eral control amendment offered
by Sen. Anderson (D-N.M.).
Advocates of states ownership
of the oil-rich offshore are a s

that eventually the bill will be
passed by an even greater margin
with no important changes.
Just when the vote on final pas
sage of the bill will come was still
a guess, but leaders on both sides
of the_controversy saw possibility
of an end to the debate by the
end of this week.
