Nixon Will Defendfarty
In Answer to Stevenson
WASHINGTON, March 12 (EP)—Vice President Nixon said today
he won't dodge "the issues", when he goes on radio and TV tomorrow
night to answer Adlai Stevenson's charge that the Republican party
is "half Eisenhower and half McCarthy."
Nixon, designated by the GOP National Committee to make the
official reply to Stevenson's blast
at Miami Beach last Saturday
night, speaks from 10:30 to 11
p.m, EST over facilities provided
by NBC and CBS.
He was reported to have re
treated to a room in an undesig
nated hotel last night to work on
his speech, which he will deliver
from carefully prepared notes.
Informed sources said he might
spend most • of his time in the
hotel hideout until he goes on'
the air.
Stevenson, the Democratic pres
idential nominee in 1952, told a
big Florida Democratic rally that
th GOP had embarked on a de
liberate campaign of "slander, dis
sersion and deception" to remain
in power.
Both the national committee
and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy
(R.-Wis.) demanded equivalent
free time on the air to answer
the Democratic leader, but the
- committee's request was the only
one granted by the broadcasting
networks,
Nixon referred to speculation,
that he would make no reference
to the issues that were discussed
by Stevenson. He did not say he
would mention McCarthy by
name, but he emphasized that he
would cover the field discussed
by Stevenson.
Excise fax
Cuts Seen
By Millikin
WASHINGTON, March 12 (iF')
—The Republican chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee,
Sen. Eugene D. Millikin (R.-Colo.)
said today the Senate probably
will go along with the House on
a cut-in excise taxes but he prom
ised .a battle against any further
income tax reduction moves.
Millikin's stand, announced af
ter a closed-door session of his
committee, indicated the adminis
tration may be shifting its strate
g, to accept a loss of 912 million
dollars a year in sales taxes in an
effort to block Democratic drives
for higher income tax exemption.
Also at stake is the continua
tion of post-Korea tax rates on
cigarettes, liquor,, gasoline, auto
mobiles and some other "luxury"
items. These revenues, running at
the rate of 1 billion dollars a year,
are due to drop April 1 unless the
excise bill passed by the House
Wednesday is enacted. While the
bill continues these levies, it
slashes a number of other excise
rates.
The House will would trim ex
cise rates on a wide variety of
goods now ranging up to 25 per
cent down to a flat 10 per cent.
Unemployment
Hits 3.6 Million
WASHINGTON, March 12 (LP)
—The Census Bureau reported to
day the nation's unemployment
rose 584,000 in February to a total
of 3,671,000.
Unemployment as reflected by
an old sampling method, which
Secretary of Commerce Weeks
said is being discontinued, rose
over one million in February to a
total of 3,385,000.
The 3,671,000 unemployed for
February reflected in the new of
ficial sample compared with 1,-
788,000 in February last year,
which was the lowest since World
War 11, and 4,684,000 in February,
1950, the highest since the war..
Brazil Supports U.S.
Anti-Comm u ist Pia
CARACAS, Venezuela, March 12 (10—Brazil today threw its un
conditional support behind the U.S. plan to fight communism in the
Americas.
U.S. Secretary of State Du

conference, announced he would
leave for home "sometime to
morrow."
But one of the toughest prob
lems still facing the United States
remained unsolved—how to satis
fy Latin-America's insistent de
mands for economic help. That
one seemed to be getting bigger
by the minute.
The conference devoted its ma
jor efforts today to finishing up
work on the anti-Communist
measure so a vote can be taken
on Saturday.
Foreign Minister Vicente Rao
of Brazil urged delegates to adopt
without qualifying amendments
the Dulles proposal for uniting
'the Americas in opposition to
communism.
Mexico, among others, sought
amendments on the basis that the
original proposal endangers the
Principle of non-intervention in
the internal affairs of a country.
Rao said that although the
American proposal calls for con
sultation when international com
munism dominates or controls a
country in the Western hemi
sphere, it does not follow that
sanctions would be taken against
the country.
Beigium Senate
Approves EDC
European Army
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Mirch 12
(/P)—The Belgian Senate approved
the six-nation European army to
day and advanced the European
Defense Community to its half
way mark.
The Netherlands and West Ger
many previously ratified the EDC
treaty. France, Italy and Luxem
bourg still have to' act.
France's final position on the
army, which is intended to include
half a million German soldiers, is
one of the biggest question marks
now.
Actually only the Netherlands
has completed all the technical
treaty ratification procedure.
West Germany's President Heuss

Robertson Attacks
Hawiian Statehood
WASHINGTON, March 12 (11 3 )
Sen. A. Willis Robertson (D-Va.)
said today the Hawaiian Islands
should not be granted U.S. state
hood until "more definite progress
has been made in dealing with
Communist efforts to use Hawaii
as a base for assaults on our demo
cratic way of life."
Robertson told the Senate that
admitting Hawaii to the Union
now would "turn loose commun
istic aliens in the Hawaiian Is
lands who can flood our. West
Coast and permeate the entire na
tion."
The Virginian spoke out after
the administration lost a fignt
against combining Hawaii with
Alaska in a single statehood bill.
The Senate voted 46-43 late yes
terday against treating the two
territories separately.
In producing 264 million tons
of coal since 1806, Missouri has
used up about 1 per cent of her
reserves.
