Duiies Assures
Firm Stand
On Red China
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (W)—Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles assured 15 key members of Congres today the
scheduled Asian peace conference will bring "no U.S. recog
nition of the Chinese regime."
A State Department spokesman issued a formal, statement
to that effect several hours after a 90 minute conference
between Dulles and the lawmak
ers at the State Department.
A statement released after the
session said 'Dulles "reported ful
ly" on the Berlin Big Four foreign
ministers conference.
Meeting Outlined
The statement added:
"There was . a general exchange
of views. Mr. Dulles emphasized:
"1. 'That as far as Europe was
concerned the Berlin conference
had required Soviet Russia to
show its hand, and 'A was still a
hand which held fast to what it
now had and sought to grasp some
more.
"2. That so far as Asia was con
cerned, there would be no U.S.
recognition of the Chinese Com
munist regime. The Unitec. States
had obtained Soviet Russia's for
mal agreement to this condition,
so efforts to unify Korea and pro
mote peace in Indochina could
proceed without changing the U.S.
basic position on China."
Headway Seen
There were signs that Dulles
had made some headway against
talk that he had moved toward
diplomatic -recognition of Red
China by arranging an Asian
peace confeernce with the Peiping
regime for April 26 at Geneva,
Switzerland.
Sen. Homer Ferguson (R-Mich.)
last week called the Geneva con
ference a "very calculated risk.''
After today's session at the State
Department, Ferguson, chairman
of the GOP Policy Committee in
the Senate, was asked if he was
satisfied no recognition of Red
China was implied.
"I feel certain of that," he said.
"I think the record in the press
has indicated that already."
Diplomat Sees
Red Reversal
SEOUL, Tuesday, Feb. 23 (JP)—
The U.S. diplomat who sat in on
collapse of the preliminary peace
talks in Korea said yesterday the
Communists now have accepted
nearly everything for the Geneva
conference that they turned down
at Panmunjom.
"The participants, the purposes
and the place of the conference on
Korea are precisely those we have
spent day and night pressing the
Communists to accept," said Ken
neth Young before departing to
day for Washington.
At Peiping, Red China voiced
approval of the Geneva confer
ence and gave Russia all the credit
for arranging it at the Big Four
meeting in Berlin.

Pakistan Requests
Military Aid
KARACHI, Pakistan, Feb. 22 (FP)—Prime Minister Mohammed
Ali announced today that Pakistan has formally requested U.S.
military aid under E terms of American mutual security law.
This is the long-discussed program which could entail establish
ment of U.S. military bases in this country and which has been
bitterly opposed by Indian Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He
has argued it would tip the bal
ance of power between India and
Pakistan
Simultaneously in New Delhi,
Nehru renewed his attack on the
proposed Pakistan-U.S. pact, de
claring "We do not want to enter
into this circle of hatred, violence,
and fear that is the cold war—
and we do not want others to do
so, either."
Mohammed Ali, former Pakis
tan ambassador to Washington,
emphasized his country had asked
for the military aid "for the pur

Bargain-Seekers
Mob City Stores
NEW YORK, Feb. 22 (!f)—A
wild mob of 10,000 shoppers rioted
on 14th street today, storming
Hearn's big department store in a
savage quest for holiday bar
gains. Fists flew, windows were
smashed, women \ were trampled
underfoot.
At least a dozen persons fainted
or were injured as they risked
their lives for such marked down
items as $6.95 television sets and
29 cent umbrellas.
The idea of Washington's Birth
day sales originated 30 years ago
in Washington, where government
employes have the day off froin
work and are attracted to bargain
counters. It was the first time
New York's big stores had tried
the idea.

formal request Pakistan informed
itself of the requirements of the
U.S. mutual security legislation
and finds itself in agreement with
them."
Nehru ridiculed suggestions
some times heard both here and
abroad that "because the United
States is doing this (weighing
possible military aid to Pakistan),
we will rush to the Soviet Union
and get their military aid."

Hoover Repudiates
Depression Threat
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (W)—Former President Herbert Hoover
said tonight he had one depression named for him but he doesn't see
signs of another "anywhere on the landscape at the present time."
The "present trouble," HoOver said, comes from a mixture of
surplus production and "dehydrated optimism."
46.
. . You can have high con
fiden.ce that this is only a passing
dip, a slump, a readjustment, or a
recession, not a great depression,"
he declared.
Remedy Proposed
Hoover proposed a remedy
along lines suggested by Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower—re
ducing taxes, if necessary, to in
crease the buying power of all
the people so they can absorb the
surplus production and jack up
the standard of living another
notch.
Hoover sized up the economic
situation in an address prepared
for delivery at a b anq u et at
which he is scheduled to receive
a good government award from
the American Good Government
Society.
Dips 'lnevitable'
The former President said that
dips, recessions—whatever they
are called—"come around inevit
ably about every five or seven
years in the ebb and flow of a
free economic system:
"I should be regarded as an
expert on these subjects," he com
mented dryly.
"At least," he went on, "I was
credited with having constructed
one all by myself, the entire
world-Wide depression which last
ed in the United States for ten
years from 1931 to 1941. I even
received the honor of having that
depression named after me by
various political candidates."_.
Hobver said- he can say from
experience that "the combustible
materials are -not hereabouts to
construct another conflagration
like that of the decade of the 30's.

ICE CREKII
Army Action
Is Denounced
By McCarthy
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (JP)—
Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R.-Wis.)
today made public the transcript
of a stormy closed-door hearing
in which he told Brig. Gen. Ralph
W. Zwicker that the Army's pro
motion and honorable discharge
of an alleged Communist maior
was "a tremendous disgrace to the
Army."
The transcript showed that Mc-
Carthy also • accused Zwicker of
"hemming and hawing" in reply
to questions which he said "any
5-year-old child could answer."
At other points in the interroga
tion the senator told the general
he was not fit to wear his uniform
and that "you should be removed
from any command."
Zwicker. a much-decorated hero
of World War II who took part in
the D-Day invasion of Normandy,
is now the commanding officer at
Camp Kilmer, N.J. Like McCar
thy, he is a native of Wisconsin.
Along with the release of the
transcript, McCarthy ordered a
two-day postponement of the ap
pearance of Secretary of the Army
Robert T. Stevens, who had been
invited to testify tomorrow at a
nationally televised hearing be
fore McCarthy's Senate Investi
gations subcommittee.
