Dulles Predicts Approval
Of Economic Aid for Asia
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (EP) Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles said today the Eisenhower administration expects to ask
Congress to approve a broad program of economic aid to Asia as a
bulwark against Communist expansion.
He made that announcement at a news conference at which he
also commented that fear of open war has lessened and that both
Sec. of Labor
Defends Idea
Of Union` Shop
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7 (R)—
Secretary of Labor James P. Mit
chell today defended the idea of
compulsory' union membership
and condemned state laws which
prohibit such requirements in lab
or contracts.
"I believe that when employers
and unions representing a major
ity of their employes agree on
`union shop' they should have the
right to have one," Mitchell said
in a speech prepared for the CIO
convention:
Under a "union shop" all work
ers must become union members
to keep their jobs. The Taft-Hart
ley Law permits this but allows
individual states to prohibit it.
Seventeen states, mostly in the
South and West, have such "right
to-work" laws and moves to enact
them are underway in other states.
The ClO's reaction appeared to
be that while Mitchell's opposition
to such laws was warmly welcome,
unions preferred repealing, the
Taft-Hartley sanction and thus
killing the state laws at' one blow.
CIO President Walter Reuther
told reporters "the federal gov
ernment has overriding responsi
bility in the field of social and
labor legislation" and said he be=
lieved the Eisenhower. adminis
tration has "an obligation to seek
a change in the Taft-Hartley Law
to accomplish what Secretary
Mitchell has. said."
The trend of Eisenhower admin
iStration recommendations in la
bor legislation has, until now,
been toward encouraging more
State, and less federal, control over
labor relations problems.
Pope Lights
Shrine Torch
VATICAN CITY, Dec. 7 (iP)—
Pope Pius XII lighted an electric
torch at a Sicilian shrine of the
Virgin Mary by pressing a switch
button from his sickbed last night,
the eve of the end of the Roman
Catholic Marian year.
Almost 500 miles away, .a torch
at the Sanctuary of the Most Holy
Mary of Consolation at Paterno,
on Sicily's east coastv_ blazed
alight as the Pope's finger touched
the switch. The light was visible
far out at sea.
The ceremony at 6 :p.m. - came
after a day in which the Pope
continued to slowly re g
strength following the most • ser
ious illness of his 15-year reign.
Tomorrow from his white
walled sick room the Pope will
end the Marian year with a broad
cast blessing to the city and the
world. ,It • will be carried by the
Vatican radio and many other
networks.

Talk of Loans
He mentioned no figures and
did not say whether loans or gifts
would be involved, but other offi
cials have talked of a program
in which loans would play a major
part. These also have been ex
pressions of hope that allied na
tions, such as Britain and France,
would bear a substantial part of
the burden.
Dulles did say, in : response to
questions, that it was likely that
a program of government aid, to
be backed up by simultaneous
help from private capital, would
be sought when Congress recon
venes in January. He said Presi
dent Eisenhower- has approved
this principle.
No Program Yet Adopted
Secretary of the - Treasury
George M. Humphrey, who is
known ,'to believe that any aid
program should emphasize loans
rather "than large gifts of the Mar
shall Plan kind, told a news con
ference yesterday that "no pro
gram has yet been adopted."
Dulles said today that only the
principle has so far been approved,
and details are being worked out.
Dulles repeated that the United
States and her Allies are ready
to meet with the Soviets as soon
as the Western European union
has become a reality. The idea
is that any Big Four meeting be
fore then might tend to undercut
the ratification procedure.

McCarthy Assails Ike
On Communist Squabble
• WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (W)—
Sen. Joseph 'R. McCarthy public
ly assailed President Dwight D.
Eisenhower today in what looked
like a burn-the-bridges break
with the administration.
He accused the President of
congratulating senators who ham
per "the exposure of communism"
and of putting up a "shrinking
show of weakness" toward Red
Chinese . who "are torturing and
brainwashing. American uniform
ed men."
The Wisconsin Republican, who
scorned to apologize , for conduct
which the Senate condemned him
last week, apologized instead to
day for telling the voters in 1952
that election of Eisenhower would
I spell a vigorous fight against com
munism.
"I was mistaken," he said.
The White House, with Presi
dent Eisenhower's appro v a 1,
qttickly put out figures to show
the administration has been
tough on communism. It also call
ed attention to Eisenhower's re
cent remarks that this country
must not let itself be goaded into
war by Red Chinese acts.
The McCarthy statement, inter
preted by Sen. Ralph E. Flanders
(R-Vt.) as open "political war"
with the administration, set poli
ticians to figuring the possible ef
fects on the 19 5 6 presidential
fight.
Ask if he would join a third
party movement. McCarthy said:
have no interest whatsoever at
the 'present time in a third party.
I intend to work in the Republi
can party."
