"War' Will Need
Congress A proval
WASHINGTON, March 10 (1-P)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower
declared today the massive military might America has poised for
instant use will never go to war without prior congressional apprbval.

tion about what the United States would do if an American tech
nician is killed or captured in
Indochina.
He said he wanted it clearly un
derstood. Later, he authorized di
rect quotation of his exact words.
Drumming on the table before
him and stamping his foot, the
President asserted he is as con
cerned about the country's secur
ity as any nerson alive.
For Security
Murrow Hits
McCarthy
In TV Talk
NEW YORK, March 10 (JP)—
A telecast denunciation of Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis) by
commentator Edward R. Murrow
brought an avalanche of phone
calls and telegrams to the Colum
bia Broadcasting System today.
CBS said an overwhelming ma
jority sided with Murrow's con
tention on his "See It Now" pro
gram last night that McCarthy re
peatedly overstepped the bounds
between investigation and perse
cution.
The network, with wire and
phone calls still coming in, gave
this tabulation late today: Tele
phone calls favoring the program,
8841; protesting, 697. Telegrams
favoring the program 2764; pro
testing, 86.
The total telephone calls in
cluded a Los Angeles tabulation
of 805 favoring the program and
23 protesting.
CBS - said it did not have a
tabulation on calls or wires re
ceived by the network's outlets
in other cities, including Milwau
kee, in the senator's home state.
Murrow issued an invitation to
McCarthy to reply on a' later
"See lit Now" program, but the
network said it had not received
any word from the senator.
House Passes
Excise fax Cut
WASHINGTON, March 10 (IP)
—The House brushed aside Eisen
hower administration opposition
today and overwhelmingly passed
the first general excise tax cut in
more than 20 years.
The bill, sent to the Senate by
a 411-3 roll call vote, would trim
912 million dollars a year from
excise taxes on dozens of items
like admission tickets, jewelry,
furs and telephone bills.
President Eisenhower u r ged l
canceling these scheduled reduc- 1
tions, but argued the Treasury
can not afford the sweeping tax
cuts provided elsewhere in the
bill. The administration has an
nounced it will fight when the
bill reached the Senate.
Coal Unemployment
Problem Is Aired
WASHINGTON, March 10 (AP)
—Proposals to abate the worri
some problem of increasing un
employment in Pennsylvania's
hard coal region were discussed
here today but no final decision
was reached on what should be
done.
Reps. Ivor D. Fenton, Joseph L.
Carrigg an d Edward J. Bonin
said after a meeting with repre
sentatives of the U.S. Bureau of
Mines and the United Mine Work
ers of America that nothing could
be said now about the various
approaches that were suggested
but that an announcement will
be made as soon "as a definite
plan is decided upon.

"I am doing nothing in the se
curity departments that I don't be
lieve is for the welfare and the
security and the continued safety
of the United States of Amerida,"
Eisenhower asserted, adding:
"And I am not going to dema
gogue about it."
That came in reply to a request
for comment on a speech last Sat
urday night by Adlai E. Steven
son, the Democratic nominee Eis
enhower defeated in the 1952 pres
ddential campaign.
Stevenson had questioned whe-
I ther the military "new look" left
the nation with "the grim choice
of inaction or a thermonuclear
holocaust."
No Change
Eisenhower said there has been
no change—none at all—in pro
cedures of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, the nation's top military
strategy body.
As to the new look, Eisenhower
said he despises slogans because
they don't describe anything. But
he said the new look was needed
to point America's defense build
up toward the long, indefinite
haul and not to any fancied date
such as selection by the Truman
admin'strat;:on.

*hee at Geneva
WASHINGTON, March 10 (JP)--The United States is expected
to give South Korea assurances soon that there will be no "sellout"
of its vital interests in the forthcoming Geneva conference on Far
Eastern peace
At the same time, informed sources here said, the United States
is due to invite the Singman Rhee
government to assign a represen
tative to consult with American
officials on policies to be followed
in dealing with Communist gov
ernments in the Geneva meeting.
Wants Assurance
' President Rhee indicated at Se
oul today he will •send a delega
tion to Geneva for the conference
opening April 26, but he said he
wants assurance and clarification
on the American position regard
ing Korean negotiations there.
The Geneva conference was
Western powers at the Big Four
meeting in Berlin last month. It
will actually be two conferences,
one concerned with negotiating a
permanent setlement in divided
Korea and the other aimed at ne
gotiating peace in Indochina.
Planning for the policies and
tactics to be followed by the free
nations in these meetings will go
into high gear when Secretary of
State John F. Dulles returns next

7-Point Code
WASHINGTON, March 10 (W)—
The Senate Republican policy
committee today suggested a sev
en-point code for conducting com
mittee investigations, but included
no provision for enforcing it.
Six of the seven points pro
vided for full committee or sub
committee action in initiating or
carrying on investigations, and
seemed to be aimed at elimination
of one-man operations of the type
frequently conducted by Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) Among
them was a suggested requirement
that at least one majority member
and one minority member be pre
sent at every hearing.
Sen. - Ferguson (R-Mich.), policy
committee chairman, sidestepped
questions on whether the sugges
tions were aimed at McCarthy,
chairman of the Senate Investiga
tions subcommittee. He also de
clined to say whether any pres
sure would be brought against any
Republican committee head who
ignores the suggestions.
The code, except for recom
mending that a witness may be
accompanied and advised by coun
sel. said nothing about protecting
a witness from what President
Eisenhower called "disregard for
the standards of fair play."
Ferguson said the seven rules
he recommended today "were re
garded as the minimum rules and
policies," selected from sugges*-
tions submitted by GOP senators.
Eisenhower Supports
Separate. Statehood Bills
WASHINGTON, March 10 (VP)
—President Eisenhower today put
his support behind efforts of Sen
ate Republican leaders to keep
the Hawaiian and Alaska state
hood bills separate.
The President told a news con
ference he sees no reason why
each of the statehood 'ills can't
be handled on its own merits—
separately.

Conference at Caracas, Venezuela.
17 to Participate
The United States, Britain and
France have invited _ South Ko
rea and 13 United Nations mem
bers which contributed forces to
the anti-Communist • fight in Ko
rea to participate in the confer
ence. All except two or three of
these have indicated they would
attend. Russia, Red China and the
North Korean Communist regime
are due to represent the Commun
ist side in the Korean discussions.
In the Indochina discussions, the
principal conferees will be the
Western powers,-Russia and Red
China, which are supposed to be
joined by other interested states
yet to be designated.
Diplomats said today the Korean
negotiations will very likely de
velop the same kind of deadlock
which the Berlin conference ran
into over divided Germany.

Dulles today pledged U.S. economic cooperation with Latin America.
This was underscored by an invitation for a hemisphere economic
conference in Washington.

ington conference. The invitation

joined Dulles in an explanation
of U.S. economic policy toward
Latin America before the con
ference's Economic Committee.

United States will not continue to
be satisfied merely with good
political relations in this hemi
sphere. We also want good eco
nomic relations. We shall seek
them on a basis of mutual re
spect for the economic and social
as well as the political beliefs of
each other.• That is the pledge I
give you."

Under Zwicker
WASHINGTON, March 10 (JP)—
Roy Cohn, chief counsel of the
Senate Investigations subcommit
tee which Sen. Joseph McCarthy
(R-Wis.) heads, said today he has
been ordered to report to Camp
Kilmer, N.J:, for training as a
National Guard officer June 12-25.
Brig. Gen, Ralph W. Zwicker,
commandant of the camp, has
been a storm center in the row
between McCarthy and Secretary
of the Army Robert T. Stevens.
The secretary has accused Mc-
Carthy ,of using abusive language
in questioning Zwicker, a deco
rated hero of World War 11. A
transcript of the questioning of
Zwicker made public by McCar
theY shows the senator told
Zwicker he was "not fit" to hold
any Army command.
Cohn said his orders were "a
matter of routine." He said he has
been a National Guardsman about
seven years. A first lieutenant, he
said he will serve as "a staff spe
cialist" at Camp Kilmer.

solutions to economic problems
are not as simple as they might
appear.
He emphasized that the United
States believes in a free enter
prise economy with ploimary re
sponsibility on private effort and
that it would continue to depend
upon individual effort and pri

One of , the big grievances of
